Haven't been on in five months, what has happened during this time?
68 replies, posted
I left the forum in mid March (it felt longer than that) and I decided to join again after hopping around on various forums and I am wondering what has changed (events, social, etc.)
Most importantly I kinda need to know the current creed on certain internet memes such as what else Facepunch finds distasteful so I can avoid using them.
I have no idea if this thread is a dumb idea or not because I forgotten what Facepunch finds appropriate. I know it has only been five months but it feels much longer for some reason.
Jimbomcb's face was revealed.
Everything is still as shit as it ever was.
Except now there's the Rust subforum.
Gran was Demodded and Pbanned
* Well, five months ago since you left, you returned.
* I still never got a life and am now a crap poster.
* RIP in peace, ticker. Kidding. It still exists and there's a userscript to put it back on the top of the page.
* Search is back for us Blue Peasants.
Gold Member is no longer for purchase
Should I change the pony avatar to something different? I now accept that you cannot change the mentality of an entire forum and it was stupid for me to try that.
That's probably a good idea

What happened?

Requested. He made a joke in the OIFY about selling Rust keys and people went out of their way to find his paypal and give him money.
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;41958598]What happened?[/QUOTE]
Selling Rust keys, originally as a joke, but after payments were made, he had to stick to the bargain. The ticker's "gone." Blue Inferior Race can now search again.

I have no idea what a rust key is.
There's a lot of idiots coming over for Rust keys, so anyone who's joined since June is potentially a total noob

Rust forum is a shithole, table tags were nuked (as well as [h2] tags), VinLAURiA's trying to get new thread icons added, gold isn't available (due to Rust idiots), and yeah that's pretty much it.

So, Rust is a new game being developed by Garry's team?
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;41958650]So, Rust is a new game being developed by Garry's team?[/QUOTE]
Yes. With it, comes a lot of idiots that occasionally leak into other parts of the forum (some even go as far as PMing people) begging for keys.
There's now an ominous red bar at the bottom of the facepunch header

Yeah, and it exploded for the worse.

And somehow Reddit found out and twelve-year-olds worldwide are creaming their jeans for a beta key.

This is commonly in the form of posting a specific variant (with an image viewer X in the corner) of That Cat in LMAO Pics. Standard suicide protocol. Kiddies can't get it to work over half the time.

Sounds like a pain, thanks for telling me.
I doubt I'll get a key anyway so I will avoid being a beggar and just wait until it gets released.
its an unfinished survival sandbox game made by two guys or something
it attracted a bunch of ruskie kiddie/mom to the forum and a lot of stupid shit happened

you should put whatever you want as an avatar and if internet forum posters can't handle it then its their problem

People used this to trick them into buying gold.

I go on Reddit each day and I have never heard of Rust.
In fact most people on Reddit seem okay, I don't get the whole "annoying twelve year old" stereotype.

Hang on, where? I've got it bookmarked of course, but I've never heard of that script. Mind sharing?
Did rust exist 5 months ago? I left for a year and came back 2 months ago, so idk, but I found myself in the same situation as you, OP, so I can tell what I found out by myself
- Posting something related to feminism, or even not related at all, but mentions a female? Use careful wording, you'll have random people jumping at you for saying anything, even if they have to try REALLY hard to nitpick why your wording was sexist
- There's more people hating on TF2. There's more people playing dota 2. There was quite the bioshock infinite fanbase but it looks like they went silent now. There's also big Payday 2, Saints Row and GTA V fanbases (funny because I was a regular back when the GTA thread first started and when it was often sent to the second/third page of the games forum, and now, nearing the release date of V and especially with the recent leaks, it's up there with LMAO pics in popularity)
- Everyone loves breaking bad and game of thrones even more now, to the point where you'll see jokes that you will NOT understand unless you've seen the series posted in LMAO pics, and getting hundreds of funnies.
- Atheism discussions? Oh boy, worse than before. The forum is pretty divided. Some posts saying religions should be erradicated get loads of agrees, while if someone replies that that person is probably feeling euphoric with the fedora they're wearing, that post will get just as many.
Really that's the stuff that stood out the most for me.
