Why are people so obsessed with an award on an internet forum? - General

I wouldn't mind gold, but everyone who's trying to get it are idiots, trying to act witty but are being dick heads and are just going to get themselves banned.

Still, the general criteria is that the harder you try to get an RU, a title or Gold the less likely you will be to get it. And if you get a title I pretty much guarantee it will be something you'll hate. That's just how the mods work.[/QUOTE] Well said man.

Ignore him 07'er -.- You obviously deserve respected member more than everybody else who has it.

[QUOTE=Cypher_10;17061095]Ignore him 07'er -.- You obviously deserve respected member more than everybody else who has it.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't go that far.

Ain't OP that faggot who did that 'Watch me do nothing all day' on cam and put a shoe on his head and looked dumb?

Come to think of it, I don't know anymore except from Thorny. :v:

Well diddums. This has turned into quite a flamefest. Thread is full of TINY BABIES who want titles.

Welcome to the internet, most of these members (who want gold) are fucking 14yr old idiots who'll realise how stupid they were once they turn 15 and will threaten to throw themselves off a bridge for attention.

Hahahaha.

I think this thread is the released angst of someone who [I]really[/I] wants gold or a title.

don't be upset op there might be a chance you can still get gm

I want a gold titty too.

[QUOTE=FFStudios;17056987]I see tons of "what can I do for gold member" or "what can I do for a custom title" these days. I don't remember if the demand was so great back in '08 but it's sure as hell gotten to the point of retardation. People are eating shit, stapling paper to their forehead, and other assorted crap to get a title/gold member which we all know they'll never get if they try for it. What's the point? To have people on an internet forum see that you have a gold username or a stupid little quip underneath it? Wouldn't it be more worthwhile to go out and get a REAL achievement, like winning the basketball championships with your team and ect? Is it REALLY that important that you have a title? Or are you all just attention whores looking to get some respect? I'm sure we all know that if someone does some crazy shit solely for the purpose of getting some stupid as shit thing on the internet, we're not going to respect them more or less then we did before. And it's stupid that some people think they'll get respected more. The whole concept of Gold Member is unclear to me. If it were my choice I'd just abolish the whole system and separate it by Member and Admin/Moderator.[/QUOTE] Are you fucking stupid? This is Facepunch.

I remember someone posting something on levels of kewl throughout the ranks. Top to bottom, coolest to un-coolest was something like; Hezzy Other Moderators RU Blue members w/ titles Blue members Old Gold members w/ titles Old gold members New gold members. [editline]12:39PM[/editline] It think that's the order anyway. Made me laugh a tiny bit, then press agree.

[QUOTE=aridpheonix;17057059]Jesus you had to make a thread about this? We all know it's to have some more power than a usual member, making them feel special on an internet community they spend too much of their time on.[/QUOTE] July 2006, 2,039 posts. Says it all really.

[QUOTE=Thorny;17061559]I think this thread is the released angst of someone who [I]really[/I] wants gold or a title.[/QUOTE] no

every other demodded moderator got gold member except me :/ i don't know why i want it so bad

Because they see greener grass. All the GMF is nowadays is a small community of people who are somewhat more self aware of the foibles of this forum and all know each other quite well. You can't fit in to it from new because it's very much a product of the time that its existed

[QUOTE=JLea;17062880] i don't know why i want it so bad[/QUOTE] Heh.

[QUOTE=DaveP;17062893]Because they see greener grass[/QUOTE] green grass and high tides forever that song popped into my head. Is that bad?

[QUOTE=FFStudios;17062906]green grass and high tides forever that song popped into my head. Is that bad?[/QUOTE] I was thinking more along the lines of the grass always being greener on the other side

[QUOTE=DaveP;17062917]I was thinking more along the lines of the grass always being greener on the other side[/QUOTE] So if the grass is greener on the other side what does the person that mows the lawn see
