So, I'm almost to my thousandth post, meaning I'll be getting a my FIRST red ribbon. I know, I know, you're all so proud. Although it is kinda sad I've had so many posts since I joined in like April... Anyway, with all the inners and outers of GBAtemp figured out, I thought I'd offer my insight.
The community here is a mixed bag. It's an odd combination of some of the smartest people on the intertubes and some of the dumbest people I've ever seen. The smart people, usually those in the higher post range (like 5 green ribbons or higher). This also includes pretty much the entire moderator staff, since they're obviously smart enough to get to that rank. On the other hand, we've got the dumb dumbs, as I affectionally call them. They're stupid, very stupid. They seem to combine selfishness, sloppiness, arrogance, ignorance, and as I've mentioned, before, stupidity. They'll go ahead asking stupid questions that have already been answered, ask for ROMs or the like, or just go ahead assuming things they don't. It's numbingly annoying. It gives me the anger I'm so beloved for. Honestly, I really think there should just be some type of test you have to take to see if you're actually smart enough to enter the Temp.
After we divide those, there's some other distinct social groups. We've got the weaboos, something I do hate. It's not like I have anything against Japan or Japanese product, but it's just weaboos in general. They seem so Japan-set that anything that is marked with flashy anime characters will automatically give them a boner. I mean, I hate anime, but that's an opinion. Weaboos just push it way too far. Outside of them, there's people like me who couldn't care less about anime and are just interested in other things.
As for some of the bigger Tempers, here's what I know: Hadrian is old, Toni is Croatian, p1ngy wears glasses. Not much else. I know there's other staff members who are pretty big, but they usually don't hang around where I go to look.
So, I've found there's many things that drive me insane on this site and get my blood pumping. Prime examples of human stupidity, arrogance, and selfishness are just a few. But still, it's so damn addicting I can't stop. I guess that's not a bad thing, I need something to do while Heroes buffers online.
Expect to see me reach the 1,000 post mark soon, and expect me for at least a 1,000 more. Hopefully I'll actually be noticable some time as "Hey, it's Guild" instead of "Hey, it's that douchebag with the long post".
