Shitty little web site

That totally reminds me to an earlier thread. Wait, I can't find the link...

This is a dupe. Why didn't you search first?

Check out the 404 page: [http://home.jspenguin.org:81/404]. So... blame Bill for missing files on Jared's page.

God, I love contributing to a site where cetain asshats think they know what is appropriate for myself and my peers to read! It feels so free, like that time I spent in a
TalibanCanadian rape hut.

Damn. Just when my political campaign was starting to pick up steam...

Come on, since when is a "I h8 micro$oft" page sidebar material? In that case, we'd have a crapload of slashdotter blogs / sites posted every day! I'm pretty sure that posting something like that in a decently-moderated BBS would end up with the poster being KO'd at the least, maybe even TWITted. Maybe the web-forums have lower standards?

I agree that it wasn't a very good WTF, although I may be biased as I was the one who found the site a few weeks ago and showed it to everyone. However, the standards here in regards to WTFs have been pretty low, especially as of late, so I can't exactly say that it was utter crap, relatively speaking. The guy who made that site is a TDWTF member, so there was probably some flamebaiting going on, but the funny thing is the thread didn't actually devolve into a flamefest. Most people thought the site was funny but the thread was just thrown down the Memory Hole, which is what I think a lot of people are upset about. Locking it would have been a more prudent course of action, but I don't think the moderators have been prudent as of late.

While I do agree with the fact this is just a flamebait post with very little content or point to it. I do find myself of the opinion that it's usually better tojust avoid these threads. Theres not much point in bothering to respond to a one line post. Which ironically is what I just did!@danixdefcon5 said:

I see two lines. What the hell kind of resolution are you using, man?

I wrote the page while I was pissed at Microsoft -- I was frustrated because I had just spent several hours trying to work. I'm not saying Windows and other MS products are without merit; I'm just letting off steam. The entire page is an exaggeration of my feelings (except for the part about child molestors).
Do you expect a page called "Rants" to discuss issues calmly and rationally?

Oops, I didn't notice how old the thread was... I just saw it in my log this morning, and I don't visit the sidebar very often.

Heh, I got that idea (and I think it was even discussed eons ago, when this thread came up). I just highlighted that the original thread, created by the erstwhile MPS was basically more of a flamefest than a "WTF" post. All of his posts he made during/after that post were troll posts, flames, and immature tantrums. I found it ironic that he was bashing you for "being immature" while he basically lowered himself to 5-year-old spoiled brat attitudes.I wrote the page while I was pissed at Microsoft -- I was frustrated because I had just spent several hours trying to work.

Ok, I know this is a dead thread, but I had to say it. There's no more MPS anyway ;)
