So, I found this twitter account.
https://twitter.com/Escapist_TXT
Its contextless excerpts from some of the more idiotic posts on this site. And man do I love it.

Do you find it funny, or just a guy complaining?

 

[EeveeElectro]

It's funny but sad because I miss a lot of this so seeing what some people come out with on here is quite awful.

I'm curious to who runs it. A member or just a lurker? They're like a... Rita Skeeter of Twitter

 

[JoJo]

This is hilarious, going to have a look through and see if anything I've said is on there. Got a surprising number of followers too, must have been around for a while I guess.

Edit: "Would you date your avatar?"

Well, one quote is better than nothing, at-least as far as I was bothered to look back

I'm thinking lurker. Or maybe someone who's banned.

I base this on the fact that the flag, "POST", and "QUOTE" buttons cannot be seen in any of their screenshots.

Of course, it's possible that they log out to take each screenshot. Certainly a possibility.

I never clocked on to that... They might be signing out each time in case they end up giving away their username. Even if that were to happen, I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it. I suppose the users they've mocked might take issue with it.
Judging by posting times, I don't think it's a Brit but that's all I can think of.

Damn my curiosity!

And these are just the forums, there's crazier stuff in the user groups.
Also is this community that notorious in the greater scheme of the internet?
Also also, I wonder if any quotes from this particular thread will be in there.

 

[hazabaza1]

I love it. It lets me laugh at and share some of the stupider posts that show up while still being able to keep away from the threads full of shite I'd have to go into.

I was quoted on there once, I think. It was one of my "fukken casul" semi-rants about Dark Souls, all in good humour.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Heh, I recognise some of those...glad I've not seen me, though.

 

[StormShaun]

Well that gave me a good laugh, and some memories of all the stupid people posts there have been on here.
Hopefully I haven't been quoted on there ... it just makes me shiver that someone might quote me on Twitter.

Good thing I think before I post.
Everyone should think before they post!

And now I shall follow this particular fellow/lass and enjoy all the tweets they make while being slightly paranoid.

 

[Casual Shinji]

A lot of comments from the oh so wonderful Game of the Year competition, I see.

Did The Last of Us win by the way? Because I'm interested in how many members here actually commited suicide if it did.

 

[lacktheknack]

I find the Twitter feed funny, and a little part of me wants to be quoted on it. I'm not sure why.

Yeah, it won by less than 20 votes.

And then Full Metal Bolshevik was banned, as per his request.

He appealed it, though, so he's back.

Aww man, what a cop-out!

Looks to me like viable proof that the mods have much more important people to be giving warnings than me. Where do they find the time?

 

[Weaver]

I love it. I've sent him or her some quotes before and they've been retweeted!
It made me feel special.

 

[Able Seacat]

Haha, there are some pretty funny or just plain ridiculous quotes on there. If any of these get quoted; hi Mum!

 

[Queen Michael]

I've been a member here for years, and he hasn't quoted me once. Not once, I tell you.

 

[Vegosiux]

Oh curse you. Now I'll spend the rest of the evening/night scrolling through there to see if I'm famous.

Does seem to be a mix of "genuinely funny" and "things I consider idiotic and am going to be smug about posting".

Oh my, this is going to be a fun night.

PS: Hey, I found a few that I might have posted! Could totally be some of my sesquipedaliantly loquacious displays of exasperation.

 

[Pink Gregory]

I'd like to look, but in my ridiculous way I'm sure it'd sooner annoy me than amuse me. This sort of destroys the possible entertainment the internet could provide for me.

 

[Barbas]

Finally, the recognition I deserve!

Oh the things I've seen and I'm not even much of a user group person. x.x

Also is this community that notorious in the greater scheme of the internet?

We didn't do ourselves any favors by claiming to be the bastion of sanity and reason on the internet for years.
