I'm convinced, absolutely convinced, that that whole thing was done deliberately to piss people off down the line.

It had to have been on purpose. There's just no way it wasn't. It wouldn't make any sense otherwise.

Why forums jannies hate so called "necroposting"?

Netiquette

Care to explain? If a thread is not flushed by bumping order then what's the problem?

It was one of the online SMS receivers. I won't even give their name as they deserve absolutely nothing.

Wouldn't have gone past the 10 dollars for a 3 dollar service let alone ever showed them a passport or any other form of ID

t. Poorfag
I wasn't annoyed by any of it, except for the fact they never mentioned any of that shit in advance. I don't mind min deposits of $10 or verifying my identity, but they sprinted that shit on me out of nowhere

Once someone starts pulling bullshit that's my first and last signal to get out of dodge

I don't get locking threads on forums. This only shows how retarded forums are compared to image boards.

Why not make forum threads un-bumpable?

Because then other users would report the thread to the jannies
Jannies hate reports

Varg is a criminal.

Well basically, when the jannies have a bad day and looking at porn doesn't help, the only thing that makes the sausage stand is banning an innocent person just looking for help.

Well yeah tranny jannies always have and always will be power hungry 13 year olds with massive god complexes because they can ban people on a completely irrelevant coconut craving discussion forum.

jannies and mods are the kids in HS that thought being a gmod server admin was a real job

>gmod
Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. But yeah I have to agree. Sound like the kids you always see somehow ending up as server admin and then killing the server.

>have to sit next to one of "them"
>reeks of pizza pockets

I had the displeasure of that in one of my university courses. Mandatory attendance so I couldn't skip it and teams assigned at random. Ended up with some uberautist that legit reeked of cheetos and pizza pockets but can't even fucking code C. What a great semester that was..

see the thing is, kids who spend all their time on vidya and eating pizza pockets aren't even nerds, they're just retarded. Kids who like tech are nerds because they're smart and know what they're doing. videogame hamplanets/skeletons are a combination of being a social outcast and stupid.

I have no words.

Well yeah pretty much. Don't get me wrong I am a massive fucking autist but at least I have the common decency of showering and not fucking acting like half my brain was missing. And yes I am assblasted because I had to do all the work while he threw an autistic shitfit about League of Legends. At least my Professor was understanding and failed him when I told him I did all the work.

I am a massive autist about anything tech but I still can function as a normal human being instead of acting like a mouth breathing retard with negative self awareness. I'm just glad he didn't ask me if I reddit or browse Jow Forums.

then the same retards go and delete any new threads about the same issue because HURR DURR NO DUPLICATE THREADS. I gave up on posting in forums trying to get help for issues I'm having a long time ago. it's a lot easier to just spend more time searching and figuring it out myself
