Your Internet Peeves

Both these so much omg. If I had enough burner phones and spam emails, I'd actually do them just to see if they're legit.

What are you guys downloading that make you do this? I hardly ever encounter these, unless I'm downloading some seriously questionable shit.

Moronic use of archive in file "distribution". I dream of somebody with enough authority in the scene would make a file sharing etiquette about packing files.
I see stuff like:
(--archiving archives--)
1. a multi-part archive which each individual part have been repacked in individual archive ( filePart1.rar -> file.01, filePart2.rar -> file.02), so you have to unpack each part before unpacking the whole thing.

2. an archive containing a multipart archive, why bother doing a multi-part archive if you're gonna distribute it as a single file.

3. an archive containing another archive + nfo, but that archive also contain another archive with a different nfo and so on for 2 or 3 layer, how hard is it to just repack the thing and keep the nfos for giving the appropriate credits.


4. archiving a folder which contain an archive

(--- torrenting stupid---)

1. torrenting a multi-part archive, the whole thing is unusable if it's not fully downloaded.

2. putting the nfo in the archive so you have to download the whole thing to see the description (hopefully torrent site have comment section)

3. putting a compilation into a single archive, if one or two things interest you in the compilation (like a discography) you have to DL the full thing

4. compressing incompressible data like mp3 and video is a complete waste of time for everybody.

5. torrenting highly compressible data loosely.

"You're" and "Your" mark the difference between "You know your sh*t" and "You know you're sh*t".

Like being irritated by people who self-censor?

So obvious hypocrisy also doesnt register as a joke to people.

1) YouTube comments in general (but some people are fun to troll, esp. Bronies)
2) Political debates on the Internet that go nowhere (oh, wait, that's all of them)
3) Doom and gloom threads on any forum without factual information or other legitimate (see: reliable) resources
4) Ads that scroll up/down when you scroll up/down a page; it's like they're trying to absorb your soul or something
5) When YouTube is buffering a video and when it gets halfway down, it decides to change to a higher resolution and makes it buffer even slower, then I have to wait for it buffer once more
6) Facebook spam or chain letter posts "Wow, I can't believe I won a $500 gift card at Walmart!" or "If I get 1000 likes, my brother will stop wanking in public!!!!1!1" or some BS like that. Seriously, it has to stop
7) Facebook "games" like Farmville, or any "ville" games by Zynga. They need to be eradicated from the face of the earth.
8) Netflix and its persistence to wanting to share the videos I watched on Facebook. Who cares what I watch?
9) People who hate something for no reason whatsoever without being able to debate as to why (See no. 3)
10) People who hate people for owning exotic animals and begin to shove their PETA agendas up their butts, trying to bitch that owning an exotic animal is somehow immoral when the animal is clearly loved and taken care of from the owner. Animal activists need to burn in hell.

Downloading from one of those RapidShare-like sites that make you download something at 90's internet speed only to have it crash in the middle and make you wait another five hours to redownload.

 

[Bobbyloujo]

Download websites that have downloader .exes for every file. No, I don't want to download filename.zip-downloader.exe. I just want to download filename.zip.

Spam posts about someones sister in law's cousin working from home and making $9812 per month.

[Pleng]

People who start or get involved in a massive off-topc row in the middle of a thread and then finish the post with "anyway... back to topic!" as if to say 'and my view on this is final. do not contradict me as if you do you will be derailing the thread'

Analog sticks... even the Atari 5200 had that hell even then the PC says Hi
Motion controls... Sega Bass Fishing, Samba De Amigo....
Wireless controls... Atari 2600
Vibration... PC Again

Actually, the Power Glove came out before those. Did it suck? Hell yes! Was it motion gaming? Of course.
