[QUOTE=Craptasket;53177995]I don't think gunfox was pulling a meme, "Fight me" at the end of a statement predates the internet. meanwhile "inb4 X" is a meme [editline]4th March 2018[/editline] If you don't think so fite me IRL xD[/QUOTE] I thought fight me with fight specifically spelled as fite was a meme, but thanks for the info :happy:

If you post what I just did it's simply a shitpost

[QUOTE=Craptasket;53177995]I don't think gunfox was pulling a meme, [B]"Fight me" at the end of a statement predates the internet. meanwhile "inb4 X" is a meme[/B] [editline]4th March 2018[/editline] If you don't think so fite me IRL xD[/QUOTE] Fun fact, this is incorrect. "inb4 <x>" originated in 2006/2007 on Urban Dictionary and 4chan. Whereas "Fite me/Fight me/Fite me IRL" originated around 2009 in the same place before gaining popularity in 2011/2012 as a Bodybuilder.com and 4chan meme, several years after the inb4 meme's creation.

[QUOTE=Craptasket;53178009]If you post what I just did it's simply a shitpost[/QUOTE] Oh definitely, one more thing, was the smarked rating formerly usable by everyone or was it always a mod-only thing? (maybe let everyone use it on April 20?) edit: added quote

Correcting a moderator is a meme now, watch it.

You're a meme.

irl was invented in 2004, before that real life did not actually exist

[URL="https://www.pcgamer.com/gta-5-system-requirements-announced/"]PC gamer is about to post the dumbest article of 2018[/URL] We need to start having awards specifically for this bot.

Can we just get rid of the bot instead?

replace it with a kotaku bot

What happens if a bot is banned? Does it start posting articles in the refugee camp?

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;53179114]What happens if a bot is banned? Does it start posting articles in the refugee camp?[/QUOTE] it would probably attempt to post in sponsored spambots/news node with constant fail

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;53179114]What happens if a bot is banned? Does it start posting articles in the refugee camp?[/QUOTE] Bot would need to fill that window with what you see on the picture, which they wouldn't be able to do.

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;53179114]What happens if a bot is banned? Does it start posting articles in the refugee camp?[/QUOTE] the refugee camp could do with some quality content since the threads in there have really dropped over the past 12 months, it's not as funny anymore

Us blue plebians can’t see the refugee camp, please put us in the loop

Something's wrong with newpunch [url]https://i.imgur.com/nwG1Rmo.jpg[/url] A bunch of threads take a decade to load and when they finally do they have no comments To see this in action, check out the top ~5 threads in the programming section

[QUOTE=Scratch.;53179355]Disable custom css[/QUOTE] I do not have custom CSS that I am aware of unless it comes with it by default.

[QUOTE=phygon;53179379]I do not have custom CSS that I am aware of unless it comes with it by default.[/QUOTE] It's a bit interesting, since the content on the page does exist, by checking the source you can see it. And logging out to disable anything custom resulted in the text being visible

PC Gamer posts lots of stupid shit but they post tons of good articles too. The same thing has happened to every single news bot prior. People got fed up with the amount of spam articles and it got replaced. If we move to a new bot, the same thing will inevitably happen.

Just replace it with The Onion

[QUOTE=Ott;53180142]Just replace it with The Onion[/QUOTE] We have an entire Onion subforum, it's called Polidicks

[QUOTE=Ott;53180142]Just replace it with The Onion[/QUOTE] An Onionbot would actually be welcome, to be completely honest, as long as it was differentiated from real news somehow.

I lobbied for an Onion news bot but I was shot down by ((((them)))) [editline]6th March 2018[/editline] [url]http://www.pointandclickbait.com/[/url] Apparently this is what you guys are looking for

[QUOTE=NightmareX91;53179154]damn i skipped over that thread because of the boring title they need to clickbait more in there[/QUOTE] generally if an RC thread has more than 4 posts there's some spicy drama going on in them.

[QUOTE=Hezzy;53178372]I am pretty sure that telling someone to fight you didn't originate in 2009 and has been a core part of human culture since the prehistoric ages[/QUOTE] I feel like some variation of "fight me" was actually the first thought conveyed by one human to another, or at least the second thought after "fuck me."
