Question:
How big of a jerk am I for creating this thread?
Option 1: Rather large. You're a noob yourself, Danimal!
votes: 10
Option 2: Meh, you didn't mean any harm. A little harsh though.
votes: 3
Option 3: Right on. "NiceGuysFinishLast" is a nice kid, but gets in the way sometimes.
votes: 7
Option 4: You rule Danimal! You're the coolest, can I get your digits?
votes: 3
The "NiceGuysFinishLast" dude has got to stop threadjacking every stinking thread. I have nothing against the kid, but it would be nice for him to show a little respect for the OP and elders by letting a few threads go without his random input.
Sit back, be quiet and you might learn something.
I mean this with all respect, I'm not trying to create enemies. I just don't like tuning into my favorite current thread (usually something technical) to read 22 posts of him talking about being asian and cute. Maybe he could just post in the "Odds n Ends" forum instead of infecting a post where people are giving legitimate technical information.
-Danimal
I don't think it is all his fault; I think most everyone is a little guilty of being chatty off-topic. I've done it. And it takes more than one post / poster to completely threadjack a discussion. So I don't think it is soley his fault ;)
Since he is a complete noob, er nood, he is in an awkward stage. He does not have a lot of experience so he does not have a lot of technical information to offer, but he is past all of the initial questions one has before he begins riding. I think he is participating in the best way he knows how at the moment. And all anyone can do is their best.
However, it also would not hurt to take your advice and mellow out a little with the threadjacking. Perhaps in the post he could say something ore on-topic AND include his little blubs about being "cute" and 'asian' or whatever. :lol:
I dunno, I don't think you are being too harsh. Sometimes things have to be said, whether we like them or not :)
Threadjacking?! I had no idea such atrocities took place on this board!
Oh, did you guys see the Kings game (http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/recap;_ylt=AmHQE0EjHZdkwtEEq7FRChx7vLYF?gid=2005110324) the other day? I'm a huge fan, but how much did they suck major ass? Been doing so well and then they go put up a donut.
Oh, did you guys see anything interesting some out of the SEMA show (http://www.fast-autos.net/sema05.html) this past week? I'm digging the idea of a hardtop Solstice, but the concept at the show was kinda fugly.
Oh, did you guys see this new Numark iDJ (http://www.numark.com/products/product_view.php?v=overview&n=132)? Looks perfect for people who have been trying to mix iPods all this time. I think I'm sold.

Hijactivisim has a long and glorious tradition. There is the subtle way of doing it, where you refer to the post but steer the direction elsewhere. Then there is the blatant jack, where you just hop in and say something utterly unrelated.
And there is only one way to unjack:
"Ahem. About that 3rd replacement of the auxiliary fleeble."
go hokies!
PURPLE!!! :nana:
Lesbians
purple lebians
Do purple lesbiens like Roadstergal's ass? :dunno:
do bears poop in the woods?
do YOU poop in the woods?
No purple lesbians do not like RG's ass!!!
i poop in the woods :lol: :lol: :lol:
um, I saw a bear.
Plus he told me that off topic chats are good for the pooping.
Wait, I might have been mistaken.
EDIT:
Ya, I was. He says if someone actually knows something, they will tell you. It doesn't bother anyone, but thoes who let it bother them, that there is extraneous ambient confabulation.

Feh...that never stopped me. :roll:
Yeah, me either. I talk all sorts of smack, and I dunno anything. Most people ignore my posts, though, so it doesn't seem to matter what I say anyway. :P
I'm inclined to agree with you both, Phaedrus and Danimal. While it is slightly annoying to see most threads go awry and have useful information sometimes thrown in, it can also be noted that he does sometimes offer a useful nugged thrown in. He seems to be taking care of most of his noob questions beforehand.
Hey, thanks for the replies everyone. I am by no means against threadjacking. I am guilty of it on many occasions, and I enjoy joking around as much as the next guy.
Seriously, who voted that they want my digits? Boo ya! Hopefully you're a female, but I'll take what I can get.

Holy crap, how did I miss this thread for so long? Yeah, ok.. no more PWing, except in the word association game, mebbe... Sheesh.. next time name it "NGFL QUIT YOUR *#**ING POSTWHORING" or something with my name in it, so I can see it, sheesh! :lol: As for being "cuter", in my defense, I didn't start that threadjack, I just contributed... as for "asian", I don't remember writing that anywhere, but then, I don't remember what I ate for breakfast, so take that one with a grain of salt...

LMFAO is all I can say to that one...
So, in short, this is the end to my postwhoring/threadjacking, and mebbe I'll start posting again once I have a bike... if I can ever pay off this stupid thing they call tuition.. One thing that I ask though, is that I not be called a kid.. I dunno why, I've always found it rather derogatory, even though I know you probably don't mean anything by it...

Well..perhaps I'm such a notorious threadjacker that I'd not notice, but I didn't notice NGFL doing anything but joining in on the fun. We're ALL certainly "guilty" of threadjacking, and, next time, perhaps you can rail again the SIN rather than an individual? :dunno:

Nah, no reason for you to leave :thumb: I think Danimal is just trying to say, do what you do but in MODERATION. Moderation is the key. Threadjacking happens. Off topic happens. We're not rebots, it is going to happen.
Just be a little more mindful of where the thread should be going and contribute what you can, but have fun at the same time. Like I said we are not robots - and sometimes it is the "imperfections" that make this forum the great thing that it is. :thumb:

I motocross my bike over the cars on the highway. Yeehaw!
Well, true to his name, it looks like Niceguysfinishlast got chased off by Danimal. That sucks. Nice kid. He said in another thread that he is done posting here for a while.
Kind of sad, actually. The board has been home to all types, good and bad. He always seemed well intentioned.
Who else thinks that sucks?
It is actually the continuation of people calling him Kid that pissed him off.
Nah, but yeah, that does suck. Hopefully he'll stay true and not get into something over his head when he gets out of school and looks for a bike.
:?
i missed the incident...
He signs off in the Digital Camera for Christmas Advice thread.
:(
He's just taking a break, but I do think the circumstances surrounding his break suck. I sent him some GSTwin love through YIM (now don't you turn this into anything weird, you pervs! Think MOTHERLY!) :P :lol: I think he'll be back before HE knows it. ;)
There have been a few people these last couple of weeks that get too verbally aggressive on here and intimidate others. Then there are the other ones who let thsemselves get offended and basically allow themselves to be bullied. Most of you will know what I am talking about ;)
Sometimes you need someone to say "Hey man, take a step back and look at what you are doing. It isn't cool. There is a better way". 8) And you might very well see "Yes, I see how I could do things better. Thanks for pointing that out".
And..sometimes you just gotta tell some MOFO thats "all up in your face" to back the frock off :x . "Sit down before I sit you down" sort of thing. let'em know you are not going to take their shaZam! (or s#$% for you ladies). :lol:
What is really important is knowing when to say "I was wrong and I am sorry, I'll change my behavior" and when to say "Biatch, back the frock off before I bust yur face". :P

i just read that but was there an incident that led to his decision?
Jen, this thread was originally about Niceguysfinishlast thread jacking and about how Danimal was pissed about it.
FYI.
So back the frock up!
Yeah Jen, whats up with that? I know you weren't posting that to me, since I was very much on topic. If you don't think so - start again reading from page 1. :roll:
Yeah!!! :roll:

You ever used that Magic Shell stuff on your icecream at home?
I don't eat that much ice cream. Before I broke up with my GF I was an it made me put on weight. Now all my empty calories come from vodka soda.
No lime.

I'm not an ice cream fanatic, but I do love that Magic Shell stuff. YUM!
There's also a new pie on the market: it's a Cinnabon-flavoured frozen apple pie, and it's YUMMY, too! :mrgreen: Sara Lee, maybe? :dunno:

You've only to read the first post.
Just a bump to bring this back to the top.. why? Because I can.. I'm back.. and while I'm doing my best to limit my PWing to where it's appropriate... I can't promise I won't slip... so I'm not gonna try to deliberately antagonize you danimal, but c'mon.. try to have a sense of humor.. :nana: :nana: (that wasn't antagonizing, that was good natured, I swear! :mrgreen: )
