Sweet jesus this is the most fucking insane thing I have ever seen in my entire life from browsing the internet You people are nuts, what the fuck man I am so confused right now. That post about packing your stuff for the digi-glitch or whatever made me lose my shit. Goddamn I pity these people. Then again. I always did want to be a pokemon trainer. Not even taking all that paracetamol that one time did the trick
This makes me remember being a pokemon gym master back at first grade. Everybody had Blastoises that were lvl 100 or something even higher. That said, this thread really shows that I need to venture out of the TF2 section of FP every once in a while.
Damn, that should've gone on for longer. I would've loved to lurk around and watch the insanity. :C
I was just hit with nostalgia. I remember these guys would go into terrain generator or whatever the hell it was and try to pass it off as photos of their journeys into the digiworld and they all believed this shit
You know what? I'll make a backup of the forum and upload it on Filesmelt as a zip or onto Dropbox. [editline]7th February 2012[/editline] [url]http://digimonandtamers.proboards.com/[/url] My EYES

I just nostalgia'd. I can't believe it's been 4 years already.
Backup is halfway there. The layout is completely fucked thanks to HTTrack, but everything else is fine. I thought of downloading the avatars and everything too because why the fuck not, it's not like it can occupy a god damned e-kiloton. Well okay it's 52 megs worth of data but hey the actual site is even heavier!!!

[QUOTE=MIPS;34594797]Aki Maita had the idea on paper back in 1995.

You got a shot of that e-mail with some sort of proof of date? I want to add it to the ED article but nobody, and I mean [i]nobody[/i] will believe that's recent.
Good news! So far the page weighs 1,14 GB and it's still about 20.000 more pages to download! Fuck this, I'm leaving it on overnight.
I read the poster name and figured since his name was MIPS he must not be retarded. Boy was I wrong, I've stumbled onto that weird part of facepunch.
[QUOTE=MIPS;34564585]That was me and for the billionth time, that was using a render package called [url=http://www.creative-3d.net/vistapro.cfm]VistaPro 4[/url]. Here's my official stance: Do they exist: possibly but more than likely, no Do they look like what we think: no Will we ever see them or will they ever become a problem: no I fully understand that they don't exist and nothing will ever happen but I know we would ALL agree in our minds it would be cool if this was untrue.[/QUOTE] Wait, what, why? Why would that be your stance? It is utterly absurd to assume something is likely to exist just because someone came up with the idea that it does. This reminds me of my friend consistently trying to convince me that the thousands of bigfoot footage videos that get put up all the time are cohesive evidence that bigfoot probably exists (despite how easy it is to fake it, and the fact that ALL of them are just blurry messes), and that there's no reason for me to be skeptical because I can't "disprove that he exists". Of course I can't. That's so fucking backwards that it's ridiculous. I can't disprove that god exists either, but I haven't been given any substantial reason to believe in the concept. You don't start with a conceptual belief and then work your way to the proof. What I'm trying to say is that there is absolutely no foundation for these beliefs other than the fact that people saw a show based on these things, and thought it was the shit. They eventually came across the idea that they could be real, passed along by other people, who also thought it was the shit, simply by word alone, and they all joined together and ran away with it into crazyland to circlejerk about it. What I'm asking you is, what conceivable basis could you possibly have to think that these things could even POSSIBLY exist? The other thing this reminds me of is the zombie apocalypse, and how people just go ahead and assume that zombies could eventually exist via some virus mutation. What a coincidence it would be, that something someone made up for an entertaining fictional tail would actually happen to exist. Such a coincidence that it actually defies logic to assume that would be the case.

MIPS, I had some vague amount of respect for you before this thread. Way to ruin that.

Stating they currently do not exist due to lack of creditable proof may be the must blunt way to answer the question but it's the safest way to do it without looking totally insane.

I say "they don't exist" because I find the concept ludicrous, based on what it is derived from. When I argue against, say, bigfoot, my stance is that sure, such a creature technically [i]could[/i] exist, but there's no reason to outright believe until there's something concrete to go off of. The idea of bigfoot has at least minimal credibility, in the fact that it's supposedly a yet undiscovered animal, not that it's anything supernatural. What you suggest isn't based off anything other than a TV series. There's simply no hard science to back up the concept of digital entities living within all of our electronic devices. There needs to be a logical basis for which these ideas are conceived. I mean, I feel ridiculous even discussing this, but I'm intrigued by the nature of this delusion. So I mean, if you can, I'd like to hear your reasoning for even considering the vague possibility.
[i]Wow.[/i] These guys have gone above and beyond aspie sonic obsession, I mean, they're actually deluded into thinking that digimon exist. This is the most ludicrous babble I've ever read, holy fuck. I knew shared delusions like this existed but usually it's about the government or reptilian lizard-men that control the government, but this is just batshit. [quote]We do lots of research sometimes, and usually come across things. Also, we have a few learning programmers in the group who seem to know a lot about Digimon and data and things. Sometimes we hear noises and see things, but we usually only associate them with Digimon when it has our toy Digivices involved. It maybe sound immature, but there's no saying that data can't travel through the air to the device(right?), or that invisible creatures aren't controlling it. [/quote] Oh my god really [quote]i'm doing research. there's a 10th crest. the crest of darkness. its dangerous, but it can be purified. i'm still doing reasearch on the 10 crests though.

[QUOTE=yuki;34605122][i]Wow.[/i] You're just as delusional as everyone at that forum. This is the most ludicrous babble I've ever read, holy fuck. This whole situation is a ridiculous psychological anomaly.[/QUOTE] Okay then, how do [i]you[/i] want me to answer the question as apparently "no" is not a valid answer?
You gotta love how the internet allows people as horribly broken and crazy as these guys get together.

This remembers me of my youth. I used to make bottles of pills that gave me superpowers. Red pills would give me superspeed, blue ones gave me the ability to mindcontrol people and green ones would make me invisible. Ofcourse the pills were just M&M candies, but they weren't just ordinary candies. I would put them in a special tray, one by one, and then I would chant magic spells and enchantments to make them into superpower pills. Ofcourse I was eight years old when I did this. Not eighteen.
