Purple.
Please ban my IP from britfa.gs for a month, I want to be banned from seeing everything, posting, everything until April.
I really need to get some work done. Please, not joking, the internet is eating my life. If I don't pull my finger out then I'm off my course. I need your help. If I don't reply please accept my thanks in advance.
>>4599 Also, I don't like to ban anyone unnecessarily but I'll bow to your request although you'll probably need to email me to remind me to remove it come the time.
How can you waste so much time on Britfa.gs? An hour a day, at absolute maximum... It moves so slowly and isn't that good. If anything it would be such a repetetive and slow moving distraction that it would urge you to find stimulation elsewhere, therefore motivating you to immerse yourself in your assignment.
>>4612 But even though you pay for the site I still feel I should whine about how you mod it and what you do on it because even though I only uuse your site for free you should bow down to my wants! All of them!
>>4613 haha. I had a great conversation with a much younger friend recently where we discussed people on the internets deep sense of entitlement. He rather brilliantly wrote it off as "that's my generation all over".
I think I'd be perversely proud that I had created something that people can't even trust themselves to stay away from long enough to not fuck up a major part of their lives. You can still sleep easy though as at least you're not profiting from it...
I spend too much time on britfa.gs. I'll spend 10 minuets lurking, then wait an hour and see if anything new has been posted. I've recently stopped lurking as much due to a series of newly released video games, that I get a handsomely large discount on.
How you view the internet has a lot to do with your age and when you were introduced to its ways. The younger the user is, the more he understands that the whole thing is just preposterously good fun and that no aspect of it is to be taken seriously. As a result, the young user will assume that rules are flexible and complain to those in control about whichever minor gripe he has because, he thinks, what he says to a stranger on the net doesn't matter and if his complaint is inconsequential then so be it.
The generation above that, sadly, views any complaint as one would in real life, and takes it too seriously. Unlucky for us, we lack the detatchment and thick skinned attitude the youngsters have developed when using the internet. Hence the conflict between happy-go-lucky teens and frowning twentysomethings.
Those around thirty often have a different sort of sense of entitlement; that they command respect. While this would be true in most walks of life, the average fourteen year old wonders momentarily why a grown up is wasting his life on the internet before bothering him for entertainment.
That's pretty much how people of different ages react on imageboards. It doesn't matter though because people on the internet probably don't really exist.
I think everyone who comments on any topic on any board should be banned, because then there is no chance any possible abuse of the site could slip through.
