Guest shai_hulud Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 When you post links (ESPECIALLY Youtube links), would you be so kind as to explain what the fuck they are? A short description would suffice. I can't look at Youtube, so when someone titles a thread "HOWLEE SHIT!!!!11!!ZOMG SO FUNNEE YOU GOTTA SEE THIS" and I say "Hmmmmmmm...." and click the link... .....then I see a Youtube URL WITH NO EXPLANATION, I think, "Shit. That's like an automatic fail. The thread title explains nothing, I can't see the content, and unless someone's willing to explain it, I'll never know what the joke was." Same goes for Youtube links in threads with no explanation. I'm saying, it's just common courtesy and common sense. Even "DUDE GETS PWNED BY CAT" is enough, which would take another fifteen seconds. Thanks. I've been meaning to say something for a while, but after seeing about twenty Youtube links without descriptions last night, I had to say something. Word to the motherland. And Happy Friday.

Guest spectr Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I completely agree with shai. on this.. I think this should go for all links that are posted actually... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shai_hulud Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Mostly it's just for Youtube, but I could bitch about people putting some camwhore link and saying "ZOMG!!!!X9000", too. I mean...WOW! PORN? ON THE INTERNETS? WHAT A CONCEPT! WHO WOULDA THUNK IT?? Also, I know that spectr uses a library computer. Imagine, if you will, that you're in a quiet library and you get Rickrolled or Last Resorted. That would bite the hairy root. And, just so I don't appear to be pointing the finger at recent arrivals...CASEK AND POESIA, I'M TALKING TO YOU. You guys are whip-smart, give me some clue as to the content, por favor. Muchas Garcias. In case anyone wants to know WHY I can't watch Youtube, my laptop is very old, and the processor can't handle it. Oh, what's that? I should upgrade my computer? Well, if you have a decent PC laptop laying around that works that you would be willing to donate to my broke ass, I'll be happy to do just that. Otherwise, blow me. (Yes, me cranky today. Did not sleep well. GRRRRRRR.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shai_hulud Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Okay, everyone seems to agree. Mood improving. Will put rifle down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spectr Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Yeah shai you can have my old laptop when I see you, its a p3 800 but it actually runs decent, when it runs though... But you could actually probably fix it with no problem, or I can show you how I keep it running.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pissdrunkwhat?! Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 haha calm down killer calm down! but i do agree half the time people post links i open em and see the headline or video title and think to myself "awesome that was a waste of time because im not even going to let this load" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shai_hulud Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Oh yeah, that's right...I'll check it out. I think we have the same laptop, so I can swap out parts as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shai_hulud Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 haha calm down killer calm down! but i do agree half the time people post links i open em and see the headline or video title and think to myself "awesome that was a waste of time because im not even going to let this load" You said something about Ativan? I could use them right about now. The raccoons were fighting outside from 4 AM to 7 AM. I love animals, but I seriously would have dropkicked one of the little fuckers into a woodchipper last night. Don't mind me. I'll drink a couple beers and take a nap in a bit. Also, I just found out that my ride to do delivery today is down in San Jose. Therefore, I have to make ten dollars last till Monday unless he makes it back to Berkeley before 2 PM. It's not looking too good for the kid right now.

Guest shai_hulud Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Yeah dude because 98% of the shit is a repost or something retarded or some shit that gets me funny looks at work. True, I don't really need to see the "OH YOU MAD BECAUSE I'M STYLING ON YOU" video again...nor do I need crank that Soulja Boy any more than I already have. Let's face it. Youtube is 90% crap. You doubt that, read the comments. Those are all people with accounts. They're the contributors...AKA, mouth-breathers with room-temperature IQs. WAIT....I JUST DESCRIBED THE INTERNET!!!NO WAI!!!ZOMG!!!!111!ONE!! Eternal September, indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 if it takes somebody 15 seconds to type "dude gets pwned by cat" they probably shouldn't be making threads in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shai_hulud Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Ahhhhh...but people do, Fist, and then they can never figure out why I get frustrated. I figure 15 seconds to copy and paste the title from Youtube probably takes the same amount of time as, "OMGWTFH4x0rN00BFTW!!!!!!!11!1" (I realize no one titles threads like that. It's called "HYPERBOLE".) It's not a huge pet peeve, but it would be nice to know what to expect when I click on a link. I know a couple dirty tricks involving links that I would NEVER want to have pulled on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Quickwood Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 i don't bother with mystery links, i can go find some links that i don't know what lead to myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce_1nR Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 My biggest pet peeve on this is people posting porn and shit in random threads. 80% of my 12oz is done at school, and expecting lolcats and getting naked women and shit just isn't good. It it too much to ask for kids to type NSFW Picture here Is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shai_hulud Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Aaaaaaactually...czech this out- Hey Raven- I don't know what's involved with coding things into vBulletin, but I was thinking since there's a lot of a) kids looking at 12 oz. at school, and b) adults looking at 12 at work...have you considered enabling clickable thumbnails or rollover image links? Sometimes certain images just, you know....HAVE to be posted, since they're either too sexy for my car, or they fill in those other 999 words in a more direct (read- shocking) fashion. I'm not trying to censor 12 oz., but every week or so some poor kid in a library or cubicle will say, "Thanks a fucking lot. So-and-so (teacher, manager, hot girl) saw the dancing dick seizure .gif you posted and now they (called my mom, blocked 12 oz., or slapped me)." This little feature would keep them out of trouble, so they can get into....trouble...oh. Right. Well, it's just a thought. -Shai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
