After having been invaded by fake users who were employed by social engineering quangos and whose purpose was to distract the users from discussing real issues and to posit as middle ground in an argument a view point that is far to the right, a new phenomenum has emerged recently whereby new users arrive whose entire beings are already infused with board-dependent neuroses. Thus, with the latter phenomenum, the combination of newness, and its resultant combative response from the clique, coupled with a readymade cornucopia of ingrained psychological problems and anti-social personalities, has caused the board to swerve towards a cyclic self-referential chaos that threatens its existence.

I bet
you are Really Good at Scrabble.
^This
Definitely
i doubt it.
he can't spell phenomenon.
I'm pretty sure im the only user on DiS with more than 2,000 posts
who hasnt had a fake account
i've never had one
I think there's only about five (at a push) people responsible for all the notable fake accounts on the site.
What are the most notable ones?
^wants to be one of them
Prole
Alex_In_Cinderland
Emmi
Guntrip
CG?
I don't know about Prole. His normal posts bore me so much, anyway. Guntrip? Really? Like who?
Wrightylew - probably Bongss.
Not me.
I did think it was funny though. You'll have to get the programmer to check the IP again.
Oh god that was so brilliant. Best DiS moment ever.
I've had a few........
but, NONE of the drama ones.
Additionally, for the record, none of the anti-Emmi ones have been anything to do with me either.
She just can't seem to accept the fact that those who dislike her are legion!
Me? Responsible for fake usernames?
Never!
PS: nothing wrong with them when they're comedy ones used at opportune moments like DramaLlama, innit?
I've never had one either..
..I don't really need one. I'll say whatever I want to say with this account.
I'm pushing 7000
and i don't think i've even considered it!
.
I havent!
Truth.
ahem
i haven't
I've never had one.
I've never had one
though I think once used one that was open for everyone to use for a while...
I'm a fake account!
I'm really Judge_b
hey, me too!
i've never had one
^ Liar
He is really GalacticStar3ruption
Biscuit?
This thread is about me
and i don't mind
*phenomenon
do doooo do do-do
actualol
Yep
What is to be done?
Obscurantist language
all too often disguises a lack of depth, originality or insight.
Basically- enough with the joke accounts and spin off threads?
Oh, that's very modern of you
!
I don't think that comment across quite a light-hearted as it was intended too.
What I meant to say was- I admire your eloquence, but you know, clarity is a virtue.
*as
.
*to
what was that I was saying about clarity?
^This.
I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. I hate my life and i feel detached from kooky society </3. I'm a n00b at this... ho is razorlit? etc. etc.
I used to love the Social Board
but now I read about one thread in ten. Most of them are either fake accounts, who fancies who or some fighting stuffs.
Im the real thing!
- Honest!
fake accounts are killing it
threads where only two people respond at a time make the board look dead.
I think it's still lively sometimes, especially in the evening.
I didn't do it!
wozel wuzel!
fake accounts are killing music
fake accounts fund terrorism.
everyone knows that!
*Terrorvision
Can today be over instead of just starting please?
So who's a fake account?
me
you
sadpunk
everyone else.
They got Sadpunk?
Argh!
I love the fact that JD
has tried to make a serious point and yet the thread has turned into another bout of name calling.
Woo!
"has caused the board to swerve towards a cyclic self-referential chaos that threatens its existence"
Just replace 'the board' with 'western culture' and you're about right in the grand scheme of things...
wut
^ this
erm probably.
(can anyone else follow it completely?)
