Your Forum Personality
 

After a few of my posts, I began to wonder - many people on NPF have their own style; their own sort of domain. Mine is pictures, Fifth's is hate, BHS and Fencer's are all about hating everything that's awesome... But, with these attributed quirks and personalities, are we conforming to meet the standards of what everyone thinks of us? or are we actually these people?

Before I joined NPF, I didn't have this huge library of webcomics, pictures and what-have-you. I didn't reference everything to a four year old Penny Arcade comic. But after doing that a couple of times, and since it's become my "thing," I've got to say that I do it more often than not. I'm also a vocal pacifist, and strangely innocent for someone who plays so many violent video games and reads into psychopathic illness'. it's made me think - am I just projecting an image of what people perceive me as in order to avoid change, or am I really what I seem to be on the forums? Little bit of an identity crisis.

I know that in real life, I'm very, very shy about a lot of things, and any advances I make towards anyone come off as creepy. I'm a little bit of a goof ball, but most of the time I come of like a bit of a d-word, so I'm very, very introverted. But because on this forum I can be vocal because of anonymity, and in a way, I've created another little personality.

My question is this: Are we just doing what we do because we think that it's expected of us? Or are we just who we are?

I like The Venture Bros. And David Bowie.

I destroyed your theory. Deal.

I can relate any conversation on any topic, about any subject to a scene in star trek.
Aside from that, I don't think I've been here long enough to really be anything than what I am normally.

I am in-and-out of activeness here, 'cause I want to be.
 

I sincerely hope not.

Apparentely I've become "The Dude who hates everything". How did this happen? I have no idea.
I'm not the guy who hates everything in real life. Maybe you guys all just have terrible taste.

Yeah, that's not it.

Actually, Fifth and I pretty much agreed you're the guy who considers his tastes above everyone else's, which gives the impression that you 'hate everything' because you tend to over-criticize anything most people like (Which is what we tend to talk about!) and point out how your obscure tastes are much more refined and better, etc etc.

I mean, that previous statement of yours couldn't have emphasized it better!

But no one cares too much, everyone's annoying at times with their quirks.


Also: My forum persona is over-critical bitch!

Not me! I'm lovably flawless.

I have a personality?

Damnit, Ecurt! I'm trying here.... really trying hard not to spam the shit out of NPF by making snide remarks and witty quips..

And then you gotta go and say something like that.
You know entrapment is illegal right? RIGHT?!
