Im looking for someone special

  • Thread starter debrah
  • Start date
As a summary: In summary, the conversation revolved around the identity of tribdog, a member of the forum who has not been active for a long time. Pallidin shared a link to tribdog's YouTube channel, which caused confusion as to whether Pallidin was actually tribdog. It was clarified that Pallidin was not tribdog, but merely shared the link for the benefit of the original poster. The conversation also includes discussions about Google search results and the meaning of "channel poster."

I'm a Farrah Fawcett poster? In that case, I fold, spindle and mutilate myself...



(What's a poster got to do around here to get a thread locked??)

Dave, no need to get this thread locked. It's much too humorous.
Can't believe that I(and you) can post a link and have it "author-twisted" as much as it has done here.

he "posted" (aka linked) a channel, thus he's a channel poster (using the literal meaning of posted) common now, that took me 5 seconds to figure out
 
  • #41
Yeah, pretty sad, huh?
I do a simple Google search to help someone FIND someone and I get blasted with all kinds of weird stuff from many people(except Dave and other's) Humor aside of course...

That's what I'm trying to figure out. I think he is an imposter.

What I find interesting is that almost every thread tribdog started was sooner or later locked and tribdog banned. Seems like it doesn't take tribdog in person for the thread to become a risky one, it is enough to mention his name.

Yeah I got it at first glance too. It was kinda funny.

It's not the same as the 'farah fawecett' attempt. That's not funny at all. What made MotoH's comment funny was that he was saying that tribdog was the Channel Poster and he was saying YOUR the channel poster so that means YOUR him.

No one made any comments about farah fawcett which would make it remotely funny to say that you are her poster, that's just stupid. I'm not sure if Dave is just trying to be sarcastic to rub it in pallidins face that he didn't understand Moto's joke or what. It makes no sense to be making jokes bout being a Farrah Fawcett poster though. Sorry.

I got a more epic one, but it has some rather profane language:

I always hope Tribs ok, he is a interesting human.

Meanwhile, just you may want tp visit his profile, hit the tab "contact info" and send him a mail.

From his intermittent posts it appears that he slowly lost interest in PF. Happens more often I guess. But he still has 10 more posts to go for 20 x pi.

If you were a guy who was sentient in the 1970's, the Farrah Fawcett poster reference is hilarious. Once again, DaveC has lived up to his billing as PF Funniest Member.

What do you mean by +, and what do you mean by =?

Let us review.

When you write something in a thread, and hit the "reply" button. That is called a post. You made a post that contained a youtube channel. Therefore, following logic, you are the channel poster and tribdog is the link of the youtube user channel you posted

Got it?

It is technically a link. He hit the "reply" button and posted a link. When one clicks on the link, one is then taken to a channel, which exists in another domain. You are choosing to call the link a channel, when it is clearly a link to a channel.

So if we want to be extremely precise, he posted a link to a YouTube channel. A YouTube channel is the page that is viewed only once a link has been followed. So a link and a channel are not the same thing, otherwise when one sees a link, one sees exactly what one would see in the channel.

* * *

Just to be mischievous, if one were to post a comment in tribdog's channel, would one then not be considered a channel poster? As in, one who posts in a channel?


:biggrin:

They are called User channels. Not Poster channels. That was my main point.

Is this what they call irony?

Sorry about the on-topic post, but did anyone else notice he hasn't signed on to youtube for 9 months?

His real name is Brian, and he is 41 years old.

I AM NOT TRIBDOG. never have, never will be.
I simply offered a link for the OP to perhaps get reconnected.

Hello !

I don't trust your judgment on this one, I will need to see his social security number to be sure.

Hello !

We accept you for who you are, Tribdog or not (most likely Tribdog).

This isn't funny, tribdog may be in prison or dead. He had an "unusual" life.

I think he's in prison. Probably parole violation.

Well, apparently, I'm resurrected as tribdog to some people.
Can't imagine why. Way too bizarre for me.

Must admit though, this thread is seriously funny.

Yes, I feel bad for the OP.

Wait, we are supposed to feel bad for someone who is in prison?
