META

META example: whois for a website:

This is an example of one type of MEta information. If a PM registers a site that does not include hiding the PM's information this would be considered META - Not part of the game, but information none the less.

How can you tell if a fish is smiling?

This doesn't seem as friendly as the other fish. How come he's not smiling?

Trout

natas@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 01 May 2009 22:28:53 +0000

.. if I saw natas use it, I'd probably imagine some noob getting smacked in the face with a giant fish.

Fish battery is a criminal offense.

Trout

natas@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 01 May 2009 10:06:31 +0000

Okay natas, you big party pooper.

I think the term trout has a different connotation depending on how you use it. For instance, if I saw natas use it, I'd probably imagine some noob getting smacked in the face with a giant fish. And actually, most of the time I haven't seen it used in a positive light. Some people that use the trout can seem downright harsh. Then again, it's usually because people have posted the same information 50 times in 2 days. I'd be irritated too.

People are generally pretty helpful and nice on here though. So don't fear the trout, nubs, just fear the Natas.
