    People that start a thread asking what is a troll. It is an inside game to see how many we can get per week.

    no a troll I think can have different definitions, but I think it's generally a one sided person that bashes on something or a point a view at every chance they get and usually express themself in a very unintelligent way and without much reason or experience to back up their opinion. For instance, going to a body building forum and posting several threads about how bodybuilders suck or something. This board is pretty good about trolls, although some people may complain that there are "steroid trolls" or "creatine trolls" in some boards. I'm a geek so I come into contact with these on my geek message boards alot more than I do here, so stick around and you'll be good.

    It can also be someone who posts a bunch of crap just to get responses from people.

    That is, not necessarily bashing, just attenion whoring.

    But what he really wanted to say, is that a troll is a giant evil monster that eats people and can only be killed by fire. Crono has encountered many of them in his day. In fact, around the D&D tables the other dorks & dweebs still huddle together and whisper his name for luck, when they come up against a particularly tough figment of their parent-basement-dwelling imagination.
    The lions sing and the hills take flight.
    The moon by day, and the sun by night.
    Blind woman, deaf man, jackdaw fool.
    Let the Lord of Chaos rule.

    I agree. Theregister.co.uk is also a great site.

    no, I didn't even know what that site is. But on the front page is an article about Penny-arcade and I visit that site all the time, but not for message board purposes.


    On the other hand, I'm very computer stupid. I wouldn't last a second at that site. I'm a gamer and I go to some gaming forums. I haven't established myself at any of them like I have here but I still go there from time to time.
