 		I might add, the GNAA is one of the bigger sources of trolls (and I'm not even gonna mention what GNAA stands for, if you're so curious just look it up). We've had several from GNAA in the unfiction and evillaughter chatrooms, soo... just watch your back, and PLEASE remember to install a javascript blocker before getting involved with a troll. Wink

 		An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.
