Made it a link for you poor old people who can't get the Copy-Paste to work.
Edit: Though it makes me laugh that they put a picture of EQ2 and mentioned WoW in the subtext.
Edit2x: What a shitty article. It's not original or ground-breaking. Just looks like a filler. Bajah fucked around with this message on 03-09-2006 at 10:32 AM.

It's the principle.
I detest people so self-centered they expect the rest of the world to do all the work to receive the message. That goes for spelling and grammar as well. Anyone who has something to say also has the responsibility to present that something in a viable format, without leaving it up to the audience either to translate from mog-ese or to manipulate it to make it viewable. In short, if you're too fucking lazy to use the url tags, I don't give a shit what you have to say.

Yeah, sorry about that. I kinda need to bone up on my hrefs and stuff. Next time I'll be on it.
UBB code handles it easily, and there's also an easy button just below the text box whenever you're creating a post.

He's also only got 4 posts to his name, 2 of which are in this thread. Most UBB boards auto-translate URLs into hyperlinks. In fact, EC used to as well before Drys disabled it. Therefore, most people naturally assume a link they post will auto-translate.
But I suppose it's easier to assume someone is out to get you by being too lazy.
That's better than EQ's ratio was, isn't it? If I recall it was in the high 80s then.

All the more reason, then, to double check what the post looks like after pressing "Add Reply." One shouldn't simply assume that things work in a particular way without checking, when one is in a new place; that smacks of all the things I've already listed as being unacceptable.

Bajah impressed everyone with:
My guild contains a lot of boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife couples, along with lots of people that're groups of friends. I'd say easily half of our guild is actual females. I can only think of two guys who play female characters (and both Night Elves). Used to be three, but Falaanla left.
And I was human, too. 
And I know of more than a few that are in SOK. Couple you really wouldn't expect, too.

I know you're human ;P
I know I'm forgetting a few and such without thinking about it. Doesn't really bother me. Play what you wanna play, the way I look at it. I can't play female characters. I've tried. Just doesn't work well for me. I identify with my characters too much.

Bullshit. I wasn't in the least mean to him; everything would've been perfectly fine if the Smurfs hadn't decided to get huffy that it's somehow not nice to expect people to do simple things like type correctly and use the url tag. Seriously: since when did it become the reader's job to format text rather than the author's?

B) Bloodsage is correct. There's no reason that we should have to conform to newcomers.
C) The Smurfs are correct. Bloodsage wasn't mean, but he wasn't nice, either.
D) The Blob seems cool wit' it, so everyone stop being penises.

I agree on B, but there's no need to be a dick about it a la bloodsage.
A simple "Hey, URL tags aren't automatically applied here, next time use the URL button" woulda been acceptible.
NEW POLICY!
Instead of getting into an argument with or about Bloodsage in the thread (as opposed to a flame thread, where such things are allowed), just say "Hay new guy, Bloodsage is just bein' a little miss thang, this is how things are..."
Then suck my dick.

You can't deny your sassiness, though. You are just about as sassy as Snootabot 5000, the most revolutionary creation in modern sassing to date.
Sass makes life interesting. The Smurf approach--"Hey, newbie! We really love you and our board has a cool tag you can use to make it easier for people to read articles by creating a hyperlink--can you say 'hyperlink'?--so they don't have to cut-and-paste. Here's a cookie just for being you!"--is just patronizing.
--Satan, quoted by John Milton
I saw myself giving a lecture in a classroom on the third story of a building, probably about something I wrote or something similar. As I was speaking, the class enthralled by my speech, I glanced at the window. My attention was seized for what seemed like an eternity, though only seconds passed.
Before I knew it, I grabbed a chair and threw it at the window, then flung myself out of it, screaming and jabbering incoherently.
Frankly, I thought it was an awesome way to die.
Yeah, it was kind of a douche move on my part to just throw that Ctrl-C Ctrl-V up there, but I should probably show some balls, you know, like the new guy in prison or whatever, so, yeah.
Eat Shit, Bloodsage. You... guy.
There, now I'm not a pushover. Toughness exposed. I will do the hyperlink next time though.
Don't let the smurfs fool you; I don't go out of my way to persecute people.

That said, I never disagreed with his intentions. Just his method of doing so. There's no need to be a dick about it, but there's no need to be a care bear about it, either. Believe it or not, it's not impossible to share information without being condescending.
Lesson for the day!
Do you disagree.

You're surprised that the San Antonio Current has a crappy article?! It's a joke in town. Most people won't even pick it up and it's FREE!!!
The article is about WoW, not EQ2. Someone tell me why it has an EQ2 screenshot in it?
And guys make female characters in games because they were oppressed as children because G.I. Joe didnt come with a sports car/minivan/SUV and a little sister, and they all secretly wanna be girls.
Because there has to be some deep seated psychological reason as to why guys like to see night elf boobies and dark elf butts.
Plus, playing a chick is like hitting the easy button.

Snoota's fortune cookie read:
I made a female human Paladin on one of the servers(I forget which one, Thornium Brotherhood I think) and did nothing but stand in the middle of Goldshire for two hours while watching the Shield + the replay, and in that two hours I made three gold and like eight green items without saying a word to anyone but, "Thanks!"
That's really sad.

Tarquinn had this to say about Captain Planet:

Ya... other people can usually make at least 5 gold and a full bag of greens/blues in that time...

Bullshit. Nothing about what I said was being a dick. You, on the other hand, did exactly what you accuse me of: attack anyone with a different method of doing things. Jesus, if you're going to be holier-than-thou, at least have the brains to make sure you're not also being a hypocrite.
