THREAD MUSIC [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwa3P7qKhVA[/media] Here it is. Finally, the third part of a three-part series of threads; this particular thread deals with this very site, Facepunch. This thread differs from the previous two in that it focuses on this website as opposed to another website so it cannot be considered as advertising or anything like that. Before we start this fun and exciting journey I'd like to say thanks for reading from your very own Asher Roth. [list][*][B]What is Facepunch?[/B] [*][B]History of Facepunch[/B] [*][B]Facepunch Sections[/B] [*][B]Facepunch and You[/B] [*][B]Moderators[/B] [*][B]Tips and Tricks[/B] [*][B]Pictures, Videos, and Links[/B][/list] [B]What is Facepunch?[/B] Facepunch Studios is the official forum for Garry's Mod. It has forums dedicated to the discussion of mods, maps, Lua scripting, construction, along with other Garry's Mod and non-Garry's Mod related discussion. [B]History of Facepunch[/b] Facepunch was created by Garry "garry" Newman to accompany his Half-Life 2 mod, Garry's Mod. It started in late 2004 and has been gaining popularity and notoriety over the past five years. [b]Facepunch Sections[/b] Facepunch, as is typical of modern internet forums, is divided up into several sections. These sections cover broad topics or niche subjects; with Facepunch the choice is truly yours. Where, then, should you take your posting? Here is a breakdown of the subforums. [U]General Discussion[/U]: General Discussion is the potpourris of Facepunch. Whether it be about dogs, school, girls, drugs or guns; General Discussion has threads -- and megathreads -- about it. General Discussion is also known for "ban me" threads. A "ban me" thread is a thread whose sole purpose is to get the original poster, or OP, banned. Apart from threads about dogs, school, girls, drugs and guns, General Discussion is known for its penchant for low-content, or "dumb" threads. Users who frequent General Discussion fall into two categories: suckups and rebels. A suckup will use humorous tags such as [sarcasm][/sarcasm], phrases like -snip- and ninja'd, and will undoubtedly quote a mod who posts a reasonable distance before them. Rebels, on the other hand, are the same as suckups except they have been known to rate mods disagree or dumb; this also applies to normal posts. [u]Film and Television[/u]: Probably one of the least-popular subforums aside from Music. I've actually never even visited it, but I'd imagine Battlestar Galactica and Avatar are big hits in this section along with Spirtied Away and Transformers. [u]Hardware and Software[/u]: Do you have a bias against certain part manufacturers? Do you blindly support this company regardless of the facts? Do you want to ask for a ridiculous computer that you would never actually buy? Hardware and Software is the place for serious computer geeks such as yourself. [u]Fast Threads[/u]: This is the section most to the shagrin of quality General Discussion posters and cool OIFY'ers alike. Every single "good" member of Facepunch has one thing in common: their supposed hatred for Fast Threads. These threads are further dumbed-down than your typical Facepunch thread in that they literally require no thought; threads like "What Are You Thinking? V. Attack of the 50ft Boy-Girl and Dr. Mungundo's Mechanical Man," "Try to hit the letter K with your eyes closed," and "What would be your last words if you were killed by the above user's avatar?" Clearly, there is something wrong with this thoughtless and content-less subforum. However, contrary to some of the best OIFY'ers like TheDKer and Big Blue, posting in Fast Threads does not make you a "faggot," it just means that you are unfunny and dumb. [u]Videos And Flash Movies and That Kind Of Crap[/u]: Post videos of your cat, your friend's cat, or you and your friend playing with cats. Also acceptable in this section are creepy videos of Slender Man or the always hilarious YouTube Poops. [u]Games[/u]: Video games. Video games. Video games. Argue about how realistic Call of Duty is or compare World of Warcraft items. If it ends in a flame war, it belongs in Video Games. [u]Garry's Mod[/u]: Originally the purpose of this forum, the Garry's Mod section has been degraded into third place and is normally a haven for new users asking why they can't play their pirated version of Garry's Mod online. Along with the rambunctious joined-today pirates, Garry's Mod is also a sexpose utopia. Think of a GMod sexpose like this: it's like me making a killingpose. I've never killed anyone and I never will. The same goes out to all you raunchy sexposers. [u]Art & Shit Like That[/u]: No one goes here. It has Pixel Wars and other forms of Microsoft Paint roleplaying. The Music section has threads about the Metallica cover bands our wonderful users form. [u]OIFY[/u]: This is a very special section. Universally hated by the higher-brow Facepunchers, OIFY gets the worst of the worst in terms of posters. At this point, OIFY is split into several clearly-defined sections: the "trolls," the people who make threads about OIFY, people in the group Cool Cats of Facepunch, and the average moron poster. The trolls are the special ones who spam threads and sometimes even post grotesque images. They ironically use 4chan memes, with almost complete success every time. Mentioning 4chan in OIFY is like mentioning abortion in a church or something like that. The people who make threads about OIFY make threads outlining a Utopian OIFY or announcing rules they made up. The Cool Cats of Facepunch is a Steam group with some very entitled-feeling Facepunchers such as Parky, GreaterBeing, Bobsters, and BeardyDuck. These members feel entitled to something because they weren't quite insufferable enough to be kicked out of the group. There are, however, very good members of this group; you know who you are and I'll only mention the noticeably bad here. The average moron poster is probably you and you should definitely stop it. [b]Facepunch and You[/b] You read Facepunch. You probably post on Facepunch. You probably spend entirely too much time on Facepunch. [b]Moderators[/b] In the well-oiled machine that is Facepunch, the oil is comprised of our lovely moderators. Much like oil, moderators come in by the barrel. In this section I'll outline the more important moderators. [u]garry[/u]: The owner of the forums. [u]Hezzy[/u]: The lead moderator, this strapping young man is in charge of the forums. [u]Dragon[/u]: One of the most well-respected mods and one of the most-circlejerked mods among dragon fetishists and OIFY newcomers alike. [u]Monkeyjoe[/u]: Who is Monkeyjoe and when is gm_tornadochase coming out? [u]Verynicelady[/u]: A mod who, because of her gender, is the object of both misogyny and admiration from the confused, angst-ridden Facepunch population. [u]Greeman[/u]: A mod literally idolized by many OIFYers and despised by the holier-than-thou General Discussion posters. [b]Tips and Tricks[/b] Look for the well-respected poster and suck up to him. Always try to flirt with the girl posters in Fast Threads. Make a ban-me. Blindly defend Facepunch and make sure to Google bomb "fucking incredible."

OIFY is great, you're just not cool enough to be respected there.
What's Facepunch? Oh I'm glad you put the "What is Facepunch" section there for guys like me who didn't know what it was.
You've described Facepunch to Facepunchers. Well done.
Someone should make a Facepunch walkthrough, I've been playing for two and a half years and I haven't even reached a boss fight yet :/

Oh thank you, I didn't know what Facepunch was before I read this thread :downs:
Games section needs more mention of Master PC Race vs. Console Peasants.

The thread title should have been "Facepunch - 4chan 2.0" [EDITLINE].[/EDITLINE] Relax, I wasn't being serious. Everyone here knows that Facepunch is by far 4chan's superior.
uh no
[QUOTE=Mongol_God;20281697]The thread title should have been "Facepunch - 4chan 2.0"[/QUOTE] maybe if you leave we won't have that problem anymore [quote=Mongol_God][img]http://memegenerator.net/Instances/702/Chilled-out-Shepard-PICK-BLUE-AND-RED-DIALOGUE-OPTIONS-RULE-THE-WORLD.jpg[/img][/quote]

VNL is a hot and sexy mod. Put that in there.
Very detailed guide which states almost nothing. Well made. Yeah.
[QUOTE=GreaseGunner;20281562]OIFY is great, you're just not cool enough to be respected there.[/QUOTE] lmao
[QUOTE=Corporal Yippie;20281728]maybe if you leave we won't have that problem anymore[/QUOTE] That most certainly deserves a zing rating.
You're missing the Gold Member Crack Lounge and the moderator forum. [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/2zqeqeh.png[/IMG]
[QUOTE=TheMetalMan;20281805]VNL is a hot and sexy mod. Put that in there.[/QUOTE] And a fucking Chihuahua hater.. [QUOTE=Wakka;20281868]You're missing the Gold Members Crack Lounge and the moderator forum.[/QUOTE] OP isn't a Gold member or a moderator, he probably didn't know or was brain washed.

[QUOTE=smurfy;20281589]Someone should make a Facepunch walkthrough, I've been playing for two and a half years and I haven't even reached a boss fight yet :/[/QUOTE] Just avoid all bans and get the Not Banned Yet Achievement Unlocked.

[QUOTE=haaaard;20281842]lmao[/QUOTE] You don't know me.
Haha, they ask why they were banned, then start whining about it... can't wait to be gold.
A guide on what we've been doing for years.. Genius.
[QUOTE=squeaky024;20281969]Haha, they ask why they were banned, then start whining about it... can't wait to be gold.[/QUOTE] I have an account from '06 with about 600 posts, if I could combine those posts and the join date with what I have now then I would be a gold member.
