You're somehow more fanatical than Serum. Please stop, it feels like your trying to force a joke so hard, that it may have been funny, but you mangled the delivery.

Dude, can you guys at least try to keep the off-topic Tim bullshit in the Tim thread? Its pretty annoying when you think there's a whole page of discussion and it turns out to be 10+ posts in a row of pure garbage.

Let me just say that it is the character, not the actor who might die guys. =P

Not to attack anybody, but I've never personally understood why stating something OOG and relevant to a topic (OOG life making delay in entry posting, for example) was seen as the worst thing ever while derailing topic after topic with Tim Sycophancy was seen as more acceptable.

I know people argue its immersion breaking, but if that's your criticism, then I have two points I must bring up.

Firstly, how weak is your immersion to the MH story that stating that Jay is really called Troy or that they are in fact all actors and film makers and they work hard to get entries out at the extent they do, is enough to completely and irrepairably destroy your story immersion?

Secondly, isn't it arguable that on a forum discussing a story that the consistent topic derailment in favor of people talking about one character with side burns more jarring?

Not having a go, just stating an observation.

The answer is that the majority of people who post regularly are (mentally, if not physically) fairly young and that is why you see all the "spongebob humor" and lame jokes.

This site's head staff wants things to appeal to the majority, not the rational, and so we have rules that don't make much sense like the one you just mentioned. Things will never change, no use trying to change them.


Unfortunately there are no other real big boards to discuss Marble Hornets.

Okay, that explains the rampant Tim Sycophancy (which I actually have little problem with) but why then is mentioning an OOG fact seen as heresy of the highest order, are their youthful brains simply not capable of enjoying fiction without fooling themselves into thinking its fact?

Nobody considers posting OOG stuff to be heresy, there's just some people who like to read the forums and see us uncover the codes while not having their suspension of disbelief bothered. Most of them aren't even users, it's mostly lurkers who come here to see if we've solved anything. It's not a big deal.

I'm not even gonna comment on the Tim bullshit and neither should anyone else.

Is it though? Sure, I do it, but it's more out of habit/politeness (or on the off-chance someone cba to sift through facts and would rather read discussion on the story)
I have never seen anyone flip out because OOG stuff is mentioned (unless Zaarg counts, but he's trying to keep people in line)

Also, the stuff above is the reason I tend to only post when there's a recent entry, even complaining about it just adds to the traffic and boosting the thread up the homepage.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The reason for people getting pissed about OOG stuff being posted in an entry thread is because we've had problems before where people spend half the thread bitching about production quality and wait times between entries. So, Zarggg put his foot down. We've got an off topic thread specifically for discussing production values and wait times between entries. Entry threads are for discussing the entry itself and any meaning we discern from it.
