TFF annoyances.

[ChloChloAriadne]

What irritates you about TFF at times?

[Pleeeeease don't flame people or specific groups of people or anything like that, because that's not cool.]

At the moment, I haven't been active and all these people are popping up in a 'remember me?' type fashion. Half of them only have 100-300 posts and they weren't initially around for that long but then I feel bad because I can't say I remember them because I don't and they all kinda seem the same to me and it's horrid. xD

Oh! And things that aren't spoilers in spoiler tags. And things that ARE spoilers floating free for all to see!

[Rally]

Hmm, probably that the subforums I visit here aren't very active. :<

[Meigumi]

Posting rules.

I can reply to messages pretty fast, and I don't like waiting 30 seconds per post. But I guess it's just there to prevent spam, and I can't really blame it.

-________-

[Pete]

Rule: You can't get annoyed by this site if you've been here for less than a month

Let's see. Humor/ word games pisses me off. Legit spam forum= not cool.

Anyone who's been here for a short period of time and is like "I'm leaving forever." Not gonna be upset that you're gone

People who get the "haven't seen you in a while" post, come back, say hey and then don't post again. Why announce your grand return if you're not gonna actually return?

Likewise, people who do that same thing when they have like 15 posts and expect to be lauded as some kind of returning hero. Not gonna happen, unless you were some old timer and had your account deleted, and now you're coming back.



And Meigumi, it should definitely take longer than 30 seconds to read the posts beforehand, come up with a response and type it up... unless you're talking about the word games forum, WHICH REQUIRES NO ****ING THOUGHT WHATSOEVER

[Meigumi]

I'm talking about profile comments, Pete.

[GypsyElder]

This is not targeted to anyone, but in general I don't like posts I can't read. Not Specifically a forum annoyance... but it does bug me. Some post look like they were typed with a blindfold on.

Also do smiles count as images? I was posting a journal entry and it said I had too many images, so I got rid of some. I get smiley happy sometimes I guess that kind of sucks.

[Meier Link]

People who bitch about WG/H being a legit spam forum.... j/k. Then again if it wasn't for that section I wouldn't know half of the people I do and I might not of survived the first few months here.

The very redundant question that almost every newer member asks at one point or another "whats hp for?" or "whats MP for". Seriously it takes a minute to find 20 treads about the same topic, why post a new one? Good thing the FAQs are being updated, bad thing is that topic has already been adressed in the old one.

I might post something else later but for now that is all I can think of.

Wait just thought of another one, someone new making a thread saying " hey I am new here" and never logging back on again. That irritates me a little. If it was up to me I would close those threads after a few weeks of inactivity making a sny comment. Wait. Damn. That is up to me..... Damn me for being the nice guy hahaha.

[Dimi]

Where do I start?

nOObs (Not newbies): It's pretty self-explanatory. I'll eat you for lunch and shit you out from the dark end of the tunnel.

New Members vs. Vets: Now before I get quoted on something that might be taken out of context, I'm not implying that all vet members are like this. The funny thing I find very amusing is how you have older members bitching about the "Golden Age" of TFF on how lively, active, and vibrant it used to be and yet they don't do shit but bitch and moan where I've noticed the majority and contribution of activity now comes from regulars who are actually the newer members.

Me: Once upon a time, I used to be active on these forums then this Fish just rolled over in the fishbowl flooded with shit. Green shit.

And lastly:

I'm glad you brought this up. You're awesome and QFT. Why can't we post more of these things:

[Che]

People who post in the games section with replies like "yeah I'm pretty sure you can get the Ultima Weapon on disk1 of FF7 but I've never played, and I haven't ever read a review and pretty much don't know anything about the game at all so I could be wrong, but that's just my opinion".

People who think that posting a 10 page essay is the best reply in all situations of a thread because they can't differentiate a one sentence reply and decide if it actually contributes or it's just pure spam.

[Taco-Calamitous]

-Trollish behavior (the malicious kind, not the funny kind.)

-Older members who think their shit don't stink (and everyone else's does.)

-Posts that don't even try to contribute to the discussion.

-I'm with Pete on the "I'm leaving forever" posts. Or how about "I'm gonna be gone for a couple days, or some other inconsequential amount of time, so that you probably wouldn't even notice I was gone if I hadn't said anything..."

-Also agree with Meier's "redundant newbie question" thing. Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

[Hyzenthlay]

- When people post new threads that are one liners, with no questions and are barely legible. Seriously, if you are trying to start a topic think it through and give it a purpose.

- The new members that go on a spam-spree to build up their post count. Especially when they write things like "yer, vivi ws kool!!!!" in response to a topic like 'In which part of FFIX did you have the most trouble?' (Or... Whatever...)

Hyz.

People who complain that the forum is dying/dead and whenever we make activities to make it more active, no one can be fucked to participate because they don't care or don't like the particular activity.

If you aren't going to participate in activities, don't complain that the forum is dead. People like you are the ones that are killing it. >_>;

I second that.

I also don't like having to wait between sending VMs out. I understand that it's probably there for a reason, but when you're in a hurry in the mornings and you want to quickly reply to a few VMs, being told "Please wait..." doesn't do it for me.

People I don't know adding me on MSN is another. Yes, I have my MSN floating in my profile and the MSN thread, but if you've not spoken to me through here and told me you're adding me, I won't accept your request to add.

When new comers take the time to introduce themselves, and then we never hear from them again.

u kno wen ppl chat lyk dis? ya, me no lyk bruv. 2 much e4t 2 read. i undastan dat english may not be a 1st lang 4 some ppl, but dat no excoose 2 type lyk chav up in da hood. ya hear me?

I too get a little too happy with the smilies here and there, but it doesn't bother me too much - I prefer doing =D anyway.

EDIT: People who post a couple of words which have nothing to do with the topic at hand deliberately, just to upset/piss people off. Honestly, standards have dropped considerably.

[Meier Link]

Ok this is a minor annoyance but in the Lit forum, I hate it when someone writes a "story" and thinks that one - three paragraphs constitues a "chapter"

I am not a writer by any means and I can understand that there are creative differences in writing styles but if I am going to read something I really don't want to see a new "chapter" every post, specially if it is just going to be a continuation of a previous post. For Pete's sake ( no I am not talking about out Pete, or am I dunn dunn dunnnnnnn ) just keep writing new posts until you can legitamantly make a decent call on when a new chapter begains and the old one ends. We have title options avaibile in the Advance post section, use them!

For example Chatper 1, next post title chater 1 continued.

Then again you don't have to even list what part of a chapter you are in.

Posts 1-29 chapter 1, in the header of post 30 mention that it is chapter 2 if it switches to chapter 2.

10 posts = 10 chapters of 2 paragraph posts are just not cool in my books.

Honestly to me this kills a "story" and I will stop reading immediatly when I see this happen.

People who complain that the forum is dying/dead and whenever we make activities to make it more active, no one can be fucked to participate because they don't care or don't like the particular activity.

If you aren't going to participate in activities, don't complain that the forum is dead. People like you are the ones that are killing it. >_>;

God how I hate this and I am quoting for truth.

If you think the forum is "dying" or "dead" F***ing do something about it!. I still see it now, when the forum is active.

One word to those that bitch about it: contribute.

[Ralz]

People who have one/two word answers to everything.
"Yeah."
"I thought so."
"You're right."
Or sometimes just a "..."

I don't know, seems like a waste of post space to me, although I learned that hard lesson awhile ago, looking back on people who still do it, it just bugs me... but only a little.

That would annoy me too, but thankfully, I don't see that at TFF very often.

I get annoyed when people post something, and I can barely make out what they are trying to say, or when there are many blatant grammatical errors. I don't mind if there is an error here and there, but if there are errors everywhere, it starts to get on my nerves.

I also find it kind of annoying when some of the members welcome the new members in their new member thread with a standard post and pretty much post the exact same thing in every thread. You can at least be a little creative and ask a question about the person or reply to something interesting that the new member said... Who was that one member? SimplyKIT or something? Yes, don't be like that one member. If you are still around here, I'm sorry for bringing you up like this...

This is really more about the forum layout, but I also get annoyed when I see various forums/subforums that exist around TFF that in my opinion shouldn't even exist. There are several forums around here that haven't been posted in, in over a year. No one posts in these forums and I think they just take up space and should be done away with.

I'm also in agreement about the going away forever/coming back threads. I find it kind of funny when I see threads about people coming back, and expect everyone to remember them when they posted less than 100 posts. I also get annoyed about the leaving forever threads. If you haven't even been here a month, and you post a thread saying that you are leaving forever, I can assure you that no one really cares.

Finally I get annoyed about some random profile comments. This is probably just me, but I don't really like when random people, especially people that I have rarely seen on TFF, post random comments on my profile. I don't mind if it's asking a question or about something I posted, but when it is just completely random, I get kind of annoyed. For example, I don't really like when people just post, "hey there," or something that I don't even understand what is even being talked about. "Hey there, how's it going? I haven't seen you post in awhile." would be perfectly acceptable, but I don't really like "hey there." It makes it seem like the person who posted it just likes to post spam and doesn't want to start a conversation or anything.

Most of my annoyances were listed previously, so maybe later, I'll come up with some more original ones.

[Faustus]

The most annoying thing about TFF these days is the lack of naked Succubi serving me booze and the lack of impaled dimwits resting on rusky pikes beneath a a bloodred sky with Black Metal scraming from metal skull speaker type things erupting from the ground.

[Pete]

Oh yeah, the BOD is another one of my annoyances. Good day muppets of sodom.

[Rocky]

Oh yeah, the BOD is another one of my annoyances. Good day muppets of sodom.

yeah, they should of been called the "motherhood of doom" after all the whining and PMSing they did once they lost their clan rp. Good riddance lol.

also, people like Ralz just bug me... but only a little

[GypsyElder]

How about people who add you, who you have never talked to, or seen before. I'm all for making friends but Sometimes a little strange, especially if you do add them and they still make no effort to speak to you at all.

[Rain Lil]

Hmm, I haven't been back long enough. But I can think of some.

When people try to RP/RPB and they seem like they just promoted to 4th grade. That annoys the hell out of me. They ruin the whole story.

Also, people who type posts with a different language. I mean, you think it's English, but you can't be completely sure.

[RagnaToad]

Pretty much everything Pete, Che and Hellfire said. I think most older members get annoyed by those kind of situations.

I find it absurd that someone makes a thread how he's 'had enough and is never coming back'. So what's the point in making a thread like that, since you won't come back to read the posts in it? Those people need to get laid. Big time.

Also, I hate it when topics change into conversations. Like when posts don't contribute to the subject at all. Some people coughNeXtadicough think that starting a thread makes you king of the hill in that thread, and that every new post is a reason to post pretty much the same thing you said in the previous 5 posts, and definitely could've said in your original post. *sigh*

Also, I hate Jewish members. I'm bad.

[Keisuke Takahashi]

What annoys me about this forum? People that change their names... i don't know who the hell is who anymore, and getting random friend requests from people I don't know.

[Angantyr]

All the idiots who whined about the BoD and had the audacity to claim we were the whiners. It was a constant shit storm of aids and fail from the other users who didn't like us and cried like a bunch of pansies when we'd RP something they didn't like. If you don't like us the frankly you can **** off and die for all I care. If you haven't noticed TFF has been dead since we left, we were what kept this forum alive.

Also ironically enough the person who I agree with has changed their name themselves and I have no clue who they are. There's a bunch of other people with 5k + posts who've changed their name as well and I have no idea who they are.

[Pete]

If I remember correctly 90% of the BoD left whining and crying about some such bullshit. Truth be told, I don't think many members whined as much as you guys did before you left, BUT I do remember maybe one or two of you guys being cool when separated from the pack. That whole mob mentality really did a number on your guys ability to think for yourselves. Some of you would act like human beings until another one would be like "oh lets rape nuns and drink mead and be vikings" and then eventually you guys would calm down and some of you would rationalize that raping and pillaging aren't socially acceptable forms of entertainment. As for the others, I wouldn't be shocked if they couldn't tell the difference between real and make believe.

That being said, the whole mob mentality thing annoys me. Think for yourself. Question authority.

[Meier Link]

If you haven't noticed TFF has been dead since we left, we were what kept this forum alive.

Funny, I was here before you left and honestly this forum isn't any less "dead" then when the BoD was here. The daily post counts where between 150-300 per day when the BoD was still here and active. We still see these numbers here daily if not higher. Your point is null and void with that statement.

I have read through a good chunck of the BoD's main club thread and I must say it was one of my annoyances. I found most of it to be a redundant spluring of the words "wench", "booze", "yarr", and random spam about "raping" and "pilaging". Point in that? None besides a "shit storm" of crap posts and spam.

I watched as the BoD bowed out over a RP and then laid blame to the forum staff instead of sucking it up like the "evil doers" they claim to be. This was annoying also.

Lastly "satanmas" or what ever the hell it was called was retarted and the BoD is still highly suspected in the events that occured during that time; atleast in my concerns. Also annoying and retarded, thats just my opinion though.

[Rocky]

Here you may need this for later so I will just give you this in advance.



No one really complained about you guys, everyone was just annoyed by you all acting like a bunch of idiotic children on the forums talking about stupid shit, that's all. You guys were the whiners as far as I know, you complained about the slow-pace of the RP battle, you complained when Loco didn't have free time to judge it, you complained about Sheena judging it, you complained about Sheena giving it a second look, etc. What didn't you guys complain about?

Exactly.

And now you are here running your mouth like some halfwit /b/tard shouting "fail and aids hurr durr cuz I ddnt go 2 colege lulz mudkipz" on the forums saying that you guys kept the forum alive..? lol? Maybe in an RP sense but once the revolution actually gets up and running the BoD will be forgotten for all eternity, otherwise not in the slightest has TFF been fazed by your "exodus". You should probably take up your cross like the rest of your girl scouts and head back to your "super sekrit clubhouse forums" where you can sulk and talk about how you got owned in some random rp battle years ago that you're apparently still upset about. Do you see any of them posting in here about how they got pwned?

Exactly.

NEXT.

EDIT: oh and if your name happens to be darkViVi then this post is null and void. dV is one hilarious ****er and I wish he would come back to post more funnies in the future.

[Angantyr]

Meier Link: Join Date: 2007. Funny that cause I'm talking 2006. The thread was for RPing, you have the MSN convos we had? You have acess to the forums? No you don't so don't try to claim shit on us.

Rocky: I've heard it all before, bring up 4chan and all that shit when you know it's the biggest troll orgy ever made. What happened? You went there and got trolled hard and you're trying to pin us to that mentality? Don't bring that shit into here. It's almost as if you're jealous.

I didn't take place in the RP event cause I knew from the very start it was an attempt to get rid of us. I didn't follow any of that, I'm here laughing my ass off cause "TFF anoyances" (made by a member of the BoD if I might add) had people bringing up the BoD. Obviously you don't know ****ing shit about any of us.

Pete: As I've probably mentioned, you and Sean? weren't on good terms with the rest of the BoD and there were a few others but on a personal level never took it seriously. Most of what was said he was and still is a joke. Yeah I'm writting a big reply now because in all honesty the BoD are some of the coolest people I've met and I've seen people like rocky talk this shit all the time. Not just about the BoD but people in general and I was kind of the same myself. I'm past it, I can see you know are more mature than them 2.

This is a bit off topic but yeah there is one kid who is like 20 years old and gets annoyed over the dumbest most elitists shit ever and I'll admit I used to be the same myself but you get passed it. These kids are the same, raging about some e-faction like they're going to have a heart attack or something. One day they'll get over it and learn to just enjoy life, but for now, who knows? LOL.

And I will quote you

If you haven't noticed TFF has been dead since we left, we were what kept this forum alive.

Really I wasn't aware that the thread listed below was made clear back in 2006, when it was dated for Feb. 24th 2008.: http://thefinalfantasy.net/forums/cl...od-exodus.html

What does MSN convos have anything to do with TFF, thats right: nothing.

People trying to twist my words are an annoyance here at TFF.

Which access to the forum are you refering to? A site outside of TFF, well that is an obvious no and really has nothing to do with this thread at all (make note this thread is over TFF annoyances ). If you are refering to here at TFF, yes. I am staff I have access to the entirety of the forum.

::edit::
Also people talking about newer members not knowing what has gone on in the past this is an annoyance. The Cleft is there for a reason, which I have spent a fair share of time in.

[Che]

Oh, I forgot to mention the huge signature thing. It makes the threads look so disorganized to be able to put that much content in them. But just a minor annoyance.

Also LOL@guy who thinks he kept TFF alive. Who the **** are you again? Fackin no named 05er.
