Gothandsilver's first poll!
I was bored at work so...
Evidence for:
* How many "newbies" work out what "them thar VB tags" do before posting
* Livejournal account registered within an hour of first post
* LJ account only has one entry
* C'mon people, just READ the entry
* Who lists crying as an interest
* Registered from <x>.lincoln.ac.uk
* Registered with odd hotmail address [email protected] where x are numbers
Evidence against:
* Your own concience?
So who do we know who's at Lincoln uni who could be arsed to fake a livejournal for comedy gold kicks?
My work here is done.

Re: Gothandsilver's first poll!
new here doesnt mean new to the internet
if this was the first place you encountered online you would throw your computer out of the window and run away screaming

Theres also 412 communities with crying as an interest.
Plus would someone be bothered to go as far as making an lj for a gimmick?
Actually, knowing some people, maybe...

Re: Gothandsilver's first poll!
Why does this have to happen every time someone new (Male or female) makes a post ? It's pretty pathetic, the amount of people who've been hounded off the forums. The funny bit of it all is everyone complains the forums are useless but by driving out new blood it ensures that we're stuck reading the same crap posters like Sunday day after day. Also being able to use VB tags is possibly the stupiest "sign" of being a gimmick I've ever heard, I hear there other forums on the Internet and perhaps people on those use VB tags ?!?
Did anyone ever find out whos gimmick Gayle28uk was ?

Re: Gothandsilver's first poll!
No, because she wasn't one.
Anyway, can you seriouisly see this being genuine? The (single) live journal is one big cliche.

Its just as likely she read some threads before posting (which is a good thing), saw journal links in many sigs and thought starting one would be a good idea.
if she does turn out to be a gimmick (unlikely), then well done megla, you can say "I told you so". I hope no-one here would be misguided enough to think creating a gimmick is worthwhile these days.
In the meantime stop being over-zealous, no-one cares. Just let new people try and fit in gradually without unnecessary persecution.

Re: Gothandsilver's first poll!
Reading the LJ bio of Gothandsilver, she sounds like my ex.
Except she's nowhere near Lincoln, doesn't like the white stripes, not into crying, not into the internet, etc. etc.

The general consensus was that she was a troll account set up to try and be funny on AD that then went over board and spilt over to GD (As did Sevrok), a few people had the nick but wouldn't release it, it's a happy coincidence that she disappeared at the same time as several members of Titans command went AWOL all of whom were suspected of running the account.

Re: Gothandsilver's first poll!
Well either that or a newbie lesbian magically pops up, joins a third rate alliance with no recruiting control, quickly learns about 4 years of Planetarion politics and then starts posting anti Fury/Legion threads at an alarming rate

Re: Gothandsilver's first poll!
You can generally tell gimmicks by their post-rates. Genuinely new users do not post 20-30 posts a day that often. This forum is simply not that interesting / active to warrant that kind of attention, unless you've got some prior connection. Whenever I see someone posting 30-40 times in a single evening with a new account I think Sunday/Pavil/Shai/etc.
Also, Gayle (if a gimmick) was clearly the best gimmick ever. Hell, didn't "she" even post on Slashdot? Although I did wonder at the time.

Wouldn't the best gimmick(s) be the one(s) that are never discovered?
Maybe we're all gimmicks? :xmas:

Damn - I knew it!
This whole damn forum is just one guy sitting behind 10 computers posting stuff in different styles.
Its like the film Identity - One personality will be left and that will be the real one!*
It's all so clear:
QDS - the idiot american
Sunday - the annoying troll
Marilyn Manson - the disturbing bisexual northerner
Nodrog - the scottish 'greater than thou' pedant
Dace - need I say anything?
(have I missed anyone?)
THESE ARE ALL THE MANY FACES OF A BLATANTLY DISTURBED MIND!
Many previously dominant personalities have been pushed to the back of the consciousness and now only appear intermittantly - Sword, Snurx, Shai, Pavil, Gayle, W and the rest.
I'm scared

Re: Gothandsilver's first poll!
I've had a fair number of gimmick accounts but this one isn't me. Also I'm pretty sure gayle was real. Or someone got really into their alternate personality.

'Pab' rhymes with 'flab.'
Unfortunately, Pab has no flab.

Ew, that SDO website has MIDI music.

Hey hicks, you still alive? Too bad. Anyway, you're about as right as you usually are so I'm sure you will take that as an endorsement and feel smug about yourself.
I always said fury intelligence was about as intelligent as a braindead petunia with down syndrome, glad that after all that time you're still proving my point.
Ho well, gotta run.
