Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the identification of various online forum personalities, referencing a humorous website that categorizes typical forum members. Participants share their thoughts on which personality types they relate to and engage in light-hearted banter about their own characteristics and those of others in the forum.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants find humor in the descriptions of forum personalities and share links to the categorization site.
  • Tribdog is repeatedly identified as the "ultimate Evil Clown," with others expressing curiosity about their own personality types.
  • One participant expresses a mix of personality types, identifying as a combination of "Lonely Guy" and "Picador."
  • Another participant claims to be a "Pinko-Philosopher" and later adds they also see traits of a "Diplomat" in themselves.
  • There is a playful debate about the differences between being a "thread killer" and a "necroposter," with some participants defending their positions on these terms.
  • One participant expresses a desire to see how others on their own message board would categorize themselves based on the personality types.
  • Several participants express uncertainty about which personality type they fit into, suggesting they relate to multiple categories.
  • There is speculation about the identity of the artist who created the personality illustrations, with humorous suggestions about who it might be.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the humorous nature of the personality descriptions but express differing opinions on which types they embody. The discussion remains playful and exploratory without a clear consensus on any single viewpoint.

Contextual Notes

Some participants reference specific personality types without fully explaining them, leading to potential misunderstandings about the categories. The discussion is informal and lacks a structured analysis of the implications of identifying with these personalities.

Members of online forums, particularly those interested in community dynamics and personality types, may find this discussion entertaining and relatable.

This is a hilarious site with descriptions of all-too-well-known forum-people that will make you laugh and cry or urinate (or possibly both).

Hey Smurf. I wondered if you were going to show up tonight. Watchin' the Junos? Jeez, can that Kaylen ever cut loose on a fiddle! And how about the Hip? (I don't think I ever want to see Brent Butt in a Kiss costume again, though.)
 
rofl, Evil Clown is tribdog alright. I have not yet found one that fits me.
 
Oh god the Junos are horrible this year. What a boring start, I mean come on, only in Canada can you get a lame ass comedy to start a music fest. God damn. And was that Sum41 opening up? They don't even do anything on stage, just walk around and change mics every few lines. GAH! Even I'm better on stage than that and I can't sing! And Kaos was just sucky. Wtf is a b-boy anyways.

Hey, that's not cool.

Aah I'm loving this site, thanks. I've already posted it on my own message board. Most of the members fall into one of those categories, andd i think it will be funny to see what some of them nominate themselves as.

Sadly, I feel I'm a cross between Eagle Scout and Nanny, with characteristics from a few others too.

Put some nun habits on them and...I should be quiet now. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure which one I am. I think I fit a few.

I have this creepy feeling that whoever drew those pictures is a member here. Seems to know us well.
ok, which one of you did it? 'Fess up.

hmm.. let's see...it would have to be some one who could draw... maybe someone with ART in his name perhaps..?

Well, we'll just have to interrogate them one by one until someone 'fesses up.

In the meantime, isn't this snapping turtle cute? I think I'll make it the mascot over at the cancer clinic. :biggrin: :devil:

Are you sure that's a good idea? (We need a gulping smiley.) :rolleyes:
