[url=http://imageflock.com/img/1260921297.png]Here[/url] guess I have gotten smarter. I just have some bad grammar and spelling cause my english teacher hated me and never gave me my work so alot of the time I just sat there and got in trouble cause of her and just to let you know this is a school I.Q. test they just never wanted to pay for it so it has stamped on it sample :l
There's a lot of pseudo-intellectual banter between people who don't really know what they're talking about. There's lots of jargon flying everywhere but nobody really knows how to properly apply it. They just throw it in whatever direction they hope it should fly, and follow it right off of the intellectual cliff.
Sure there are smart people here, but there's a difference between having intelligence and having the knowledge to go along with the intelligence. Most here don't have the knowledge to engage in half the arguments that they do.
I myself try not to jump in unless I actually know something, but I'm sure I fall into that same trap more often than not.
Facepunch is just like any other community made up of people:
Dumb people thataway'
Smart people over there
Though a lot of people here are a helluv' a lot more intelligent than your average social networker.
Once the smartness system left we became dumb.
Well, it depends on who you talk to. There are some really smart members here, and there are about five times as many idiots. The maturity and intelligence usually grows as you spend more time here, or for some, you lose both the longer you stay. Point is, yes and no. Yes, because we have smart members, no, because there are far more stupid members than smart ones.

This I can agree with. I've seen some pretty bad social networks, and Facepunch isn't anywhere near the same group as them. We're probably above average on the scale.

only smart members[/QUOTE]
johnnymo is just a psuedo-intellectual who fingers Cthulhu at night, another psuedo-intellectual would be chris0132 who enjoys throwing animals on walls.
Facepunch is generally criticized by non members for being immature. I don't blame them :v:
[QUOTE=nicatronTg;18958529]There's about a 4 tier setup at FP:
1. Gmod players/general people who know barely anything about computers.
2. Gmod players who know a bit about computers, but seem to understand it only when it's printed word for word.
3. General programmers/beginning programmers/students looking into computers or a tech related business as a job or future(teens, not the 12s).
4. Programmers/IT/actual people who work with programming for a living or are about to graduate and know quite a bit.
To be honest, most of the bad posts are either Tier 1 or 2, and most sarcasm comes from tier 3. T4 = people who have made huge mods/plugins/addons that don't care about the rest of FP.[/QUOTE]
I'm Tier #3 :smug:
[QUOTE=shinobiboy77;18976510]johnnymo is just a psuedo-intellectual...[/QUOTE]
That's outrageous, he has some real insight a lot of the time. :colbert:

Likely.
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;18970389]Am I the only one here that apparently scores exceptionally well in my English courses, to the point of where one of my College English Teachers is telling me I should seriously consider an English Minor?
I mean, it's probably stereotypical for me to say, "I'm great at Math and Science but bad at everything else, lol" so is it a bad thing to be average/below average in those areas, yet exceptional in English, Foreign Languages, and History?[/QUOTE]
I'm one of those stereotypes you mentioned it. I excel in maths and science at school, and while, in my teachers words, I have one of the greatest writing styles of anybody he's ever met, I don't get great grades in English (for various reasons).
Oh and when I used to do geography I was consistently at the top of the class (but that was more the Earth-science part of geography than the social aspects, which again relates back to the maths/science stuff).
Only the 05ers :downs:
I don't believe that Facepunch is smart or stupid, it seems to be filled with posters on both sides of the spectrum. I also don't think that Facepunch is generally smarter than the average forum. Dumb posters tend to flame, make bad posts or threads, or spam are rooted out by moderators more often than in other forums.
[QUOTE=Loompa Lord;18958381]Most FP users [B]aren't[/B] smart enough to use Google search....[/QUOTE]
Fixed since this is the reason for most of the help threads.
[QUOTE=Loriborn;18958299]Is Facepunch actually smart?[/QUOTE]
well, it used to be
[QUOTE=phill977;18958369]Facepunch is generally smart.
But they lack empathy for most things.[/QUOTE]
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Oh yeah, and:
[highlight][b]VIDEOGAMES HAVE DEMORALIZED US[/b][/highlight]
I'm not aware of a person named Facepunch.
:smug:
[QUOTE=B1N4RY!;18958320]Only those that are currently going into college/university or have graduated from it have higher intelligence level compared to the average 12 year olds on FP.[/QUOTE]
You're only saying that because you fall into that age group.

Except cats
We like cats
AVoN is pretty damn smart.
Facepunch is pretty much infested with stupid. The forum is almost 4chan in disguise. The longer you stay here the more apparent it becomes.
most of us is really unsmart :)
All the smart people are ~16-25, all the trolls/idiots/oify goers are ~12
[QUOTE=Sir M;18990362]All the smart people are ~16-25, all the trolls/idiots/oify goers are ~12[/QUOTE]
This is wrong in many ways.
The idiots on Facepunch are from 9 to 39, the only smart people here are Garry, Hezzy, and Mikfoz, who permabanned himself for the sake of his own future.
