Slackware Forums Alive Again!
HappySlacker writes "Looks like the forums from slackware.com that Patrick Volkerding (Slackware's daddy) had to take down because of massive trolling are fully active again after 2 years of hibernation as read-only at userlocal.com." Update: 01/21 19:23 GMT by T : Jeremy from LinuxQuestions.org points out the forums on that site, which is recommended on Slackware's links page.
Maybe they should sue those trolls a la the pest-control website!
Why do people like you even bother? First off, you're not the "First post!" Lame.
:)
Say something useful if you want to say something at all..
Yes yes.. I might be trolling, but I've got a point!
R4NT.com - A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.
Will someone please tell me how the Slackware forums would play out in Soviet Russia? I have a paper due at 8am!!!
...forums troll you.
In Soviet Russia, slackware trolls YOU! (You asked for it!)
Fuck I'll be trolling that one! Sweet.
The power of trolls is mighty!
...moderation points waste YOU!
I think they should also have a
+5 Too Stoned, Can't Stop Smiling
moderation option in addition to the In Soviet Russia option.
*raises bong in celebration*
In Soviet Russia, bong smokes you!! Whoaa, cool!!
He painted a unicorn in outer space. I'm askin' ya, what's it breathin'?
A mug of frosty piss for me and every troll in the house.

We respectfully ask you to delete all content hosted at userfriendly.org at your earliest convenience.
What's currently hosted there is, by its astonishing amateurism and outright offensive unfunniness, diluting the "User Friendly" concept currently used by parodies of boring and badly drawn web comics based on the incessant repetition of ancient tech support jokes and stereotypical anti-Microsoft zealotry.
These parodies are facing a bleak future, when there are sites like yours that are honestly intended to be "entertaining" by using even more tired clichés and even worse artwork than the parodies. How are parody authors supposed to survive if the objects of parody suddenly start to express the parodied traits even more extremely than the parodies?

Enough already. Stop it.
You're not alone! I can't recall when was the last time I had mod points. I think I had them maybe once last year. Per the moderator's guide, there's absolutely no reason why I shouldn't have mod points at least some of the time, yet I never get them. Is it because I post pro-Microsoft/pro-capitalism comments? Could it be because I've criticized the editorial staff a number of times for their ineptitude? Maybe it's my anti-SUV bias? I don't know. Prior to the karma rating change, I never dropped below 45 karma (though karma is a little whack -- I can top out, and get rated up all day with no effect, but just one person rating me down will automatically pull points from karma -- seems like there should be a weight system implemented), which means that apparently somebody here thinks I make intelligent, valid comments.
I always have been able to meta-moderate and can still, so I don't think I fell prey to the last moderation-revocation debacle. I just don't get to moderate directly. Oh well.
"fully active... as read only" sorry to be a nit picker, but.. it's what i'm good at.
I hope every wanna-be sniper reads that article in Time Magazine.
The DC "snipers" were anything but. They were amateurs through and through, and showed no real knowledge or expertise in precision shooting.
I hope every nutcase who want to snipe does what they did... it will significantly limit their damage potential. Look at Charles Whitman, the University of Texas shooter. He did much more damage in a much shorter period of time, at much longer distances, and with MUCH greater accuracy than the DC snipers. He knew how to shoot, had the appropriate hardware to do it, and was motivated (he also got what he deserved).
This is often the problem with "free" information... you never know whether it's any good or not.
Caveat Emptor.
Even if a man chops off your hand with a sword, you still have two nice, sharp bones to stick in his eyes.
They would get much better info from a copy of Guns and Ammo magazine, and an address where they could also purchase said weapons. This magazine even carries stories in it from rabib readers on "How guns save lives". I'm not kidding!
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
You're not alone! I can't recall when was the last time I had mod points. I think I had them maybe once last year.
:-)
Once per year? If I posted a comment which got modded up to 5 I would get some, every time. Until they changed from "Karma: 50" to "Karma: Excellent". Haven't seen a single modpoint since that day, despite a lot of 4s and 5s on my comments.
I wouldn't mind a couple of points now and then. Specially if somebody has a good comment, just to give them a little pat on the back. Worked always for me
