Petition: NO MORE RICKROLLS
 

they aren't funny and they are annoying.

A thread like this:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...;gonew=1#UNREAD

People just keep posting fake updates and including a link to a rickroll. It's annoying to have to read paragraphs of stuff that sounds like it might be exciting and then realize the whole thing was trolling.

I can't be the only one?

Re: Petition: NO MORE RICKROLLS
 

1st to sign up, I'm glad to see both BBV and BBV4L have actually added rules in their stickies about rickrolling.

Another annoying rickroll:

Re: Petition: NO MORE RICKROLLS
 

No more Rickrolls, agreed. Also, demod kyleb for infesting these forums with them. Thx.

Re: Petition: NO MORE RICKROLLS
 

That is actually one of the better rickrolls.

Problem with any gimmick...sometimes it can be funny but mostly is terrible. I started the bbv rule just because people were making OP rickrolls. I don't mind it in threads sometimes but OPs is where I draw the line.

I reported 1 or 2 of them to mods when I first saw them outside of BBV and interrupting somewhat interesting discussions.

But some mods seem to dig them okay.
I think they are somewhat annoying and aren't really that funny but actually don't consider them that big a deal.

The longish trolling posts that end in a rickroll (instead of the shorter and more obvious ones) do tend to get in the way though.

I'm definitely on-board for the petition.

[/ QUOTE ]yah but if they are 1 in 100, I'd rather just ban them all and miss out on 1 in 100 awesome rickrolls.

Re: Petition: NO MORE RICKROLLS
 

sniper he just changed my title cause he thought it was funny not cause he tried to ban me... i don't post in OOT anymore.

Re: Petition: NO MORE RICKROLLS
 

I think we need more posts in ATF drawing attention to rickrolls, that way no one will do them anymore.

I'd like to point out that without bad rickrolls, there wouldn't be any good ones.

Re: Petition: NO MORE RICKROLLS
 

I am instituting a no-rickroll policy in Laughs or Links.

This helps avoid the obvious ones, but there are some that are websites. Also, in LOL and elsewhere when you are expecting a relevant youtube, its impossible to know.

Re: Petition: NO MORE RICKROLLS
 

I think they're still funny.

Re: Petition: NO MORE RICKROLLS

Re: Petition: NO MORE RICKROLLS
 

I think making a post or thread solely to rickroll is pretty lame. Hiding in a post is much better.

But I like the song, so I'm probaly biased.

<3 the multitabling rickroll thread in bbv4l.
But seriously though, hovering above link should be standard practice for any long time user of the internets.

Best Rickroll ever?

FTPDoug gets into it

Scroll down to his second link.

Re: Petition: NO MORE RICKROLLS
 

If it doesn't already exist, I predict the next evolution of the rickroll to be the rickroll actually cut into the middle of the video the rickrolld clicker is expecting to see.

Lol, is this FT's way of giving the middle finger to complaining customers? They want those problems (bots, lag, support) solved, and they get rickrolled instead
