My fave troll:
Doommaster aka Boingboss is the favorite for sure
-
Does anyone remember Shawn?
I remember seeing some posts from him on Ann.lu and I read somewhere he was known here.
I wonder where he is now?
-
The great infamous D O O M Master !!!! The flagship of all Amiga Trollers!
-
DoomMaster isn`t a troll, he`s just suffering from stupidity and multible personalities
-
Mips_proc. :-(
-
Of course everyone's going to vote for Doomy but surely there are other Trolls worthy of mention here?
-
Best:-
1. ShaneTheWolfDog^fearmoths
2. DoomMaster
3. Shawn the bus arch troll
All quite entertaining, once you stop taking them seriously you really start to see the entertainment value.
Also honorable mention to SG of comp.sys.amiga.advocacy and all those in arcnet #amiga who hate the amiga with such venom.
-
Aren't Americans in general considered trolls by the rest of the world? I guess we're just too opinionated.
tjaoz gets my vote, but I think he's just suffering from a bad case of misunderstanding, which really isn't his fault. And I enjoyed the little animation of DoomMaster's head coming in from the upper-left followed by the wink.
I really don't mind the trolls. They're scary cute, and they have big hair.

I vote for Shawn as the cutest troll (I guess the long time we haven't seen him has taken the edge of the annoyance I experienced caused by him :-)).
sumner7 and his bunch receive my 'Annoying troll of the unspecified time frame' award. Oh, and wilse is a close runner-up....
-
No one is going to mention KennyR? :quickdraw:
/me quickly hides behind a bench and awaits the heavy gunfire and rocket propelled grenades
-
Albeit he has a huge habit of trolling, his trolling is usually quite smartly put. Unlike others.

Meh.
To earn the label troll (http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/troll.html), I think that what they post should be posted with the sole intent of irritating and disrupting, without having any personal interest in the discussion.
Posting hidden goat.cx/goatse.cx links or dedicating poems to the Führer for {bleep}s & giggles in a Holocaust forum are trolls.
Insane ramblings which are actually made in earnest [example: Shawn the bus arch troll], or mere disagreement [example: most stuff that disappears from amigaworld.net], or personal abuse in otherwise on-topic discussions [does anybody really need an example?], and so on and so forth, aren't necessarily "trolls".
As for my favourite trolls, they're not found here, but when browsing Slashdot at -1. Hilarious, intelligent and elaborate. They make up for the boring crapflooders, "Slashdot editor X is Gay" and "frost pist" people.

why give publicity to a troll?
that's what they want.
best thing to do is IGNORE them.

Shaun the Bus Arch troll was legendary. All others pale in comparison. Doomy doesn't even come close.

I'm a relative newcomer here and although I read a few of his postings on ann.lu, I feel like I missed the more entertaining stuff.

Yes - what was Shawn the bus arch troll's MO?
-
Without Doubt ...
SHAWN the Bus Arch Troll ... By Royal Decree
Kinda MILSpec really !!
-
Who was that .. Tim Rue ? (Did I remember that name right ?)
-
I have rarely been a troll. Does that count?
:-D
-
C'mon, guys, what was "Shawn the bus arch troll"'s thing? Something to do with the amiga's bus architecture? What? Can someone point me at a "classic" post of his?
-
Tim Rue? LOL!! I remember reading some of his posts on usenet.. There is another..dont think he ever posted here but on IRC he was a troll.. Terry Cooksey was his name..boy did we get into it a few times.
-
@B00tDisk
He was convinced that the bus architecture of the classics was far superior to anything else in existence and he was a self professed overly obsessed expert on the subject. A true nutter. He had a website where he claimed that the British Royal Family endorsed the Amiga amongst other far fetched claims. A genuine nutcase. :lol:

Don't even mention his name. He did visit us a couple of months back on dal.net. He still has the same ol' attitude.

I vote for ALL blue people. They have been the worst trolls and {bleep}s for a couple years. Those wannabe-amigist-fekks .. all oughta be fukkin' hung.
They have no respect for the NAME. Not at all. Pathetic copycat-losers.
-
Shawn was the funniest and outright weirdest troll. Mips_proc/meerschaum was by far the most subtle and talented troll. His ability to steer any conversation along a path of his choosing was quite remarkable.
-
The worst trolls are the hypocrites who think everyone else is trolling without noticing they're always doing it themselves.

forgive them - they were led astray.
seriously, it doesn't help any of us to quibble about 'names". Amiga is a way of thinking about using computers - not just custom chips.
let's move on now that the real bullies aren't trolling around anymore.
let's just celebrate what we basically like about amiga.
let's just forgive those who got suckered in. and move on.

Hooligan was being ironic. :)
And I know you know I knew you knew, so stop trolling! ;P

I agree with KennyR, the worst trolls are the ones who lecture others about "trolling", treats everyone as a troll that has a different opinion to them, while on the other side of their face, trolls very badly. One name stands out here: MikeyC.

Hey! what about 420 dude. remember when he tried to turn every topic into something about smoking weed. It was funny at first but got old real fast.

Got a link?
I believe I might have seen this website way back in the day and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Doomy certainly had his moments, I did find it amusing when he'd profess his expert credentials in one posting before signing in under a different name and asking for help installing a CD ROM or if an A2000 would play mp3 files.

Sorry I don't have a link to his site anymore. I don't know whether its still out there on the internet anymore.
Maybe someone else can point to a link.

That was precious. Incoherent and rambling, but precious.
Sadly, it looks like he's hooked himself on to the Merlancia scam, so not only is he a troll, he's also EVIL.
I tell you what, though, if you want to see a thorough "rabid Amiga fanatic" troll, hit the google archive of comp.sys.amiga.advocacy and look up ol' Steve G...he kept his schtick up for YEARS.

Bring this guy back, please. HE IS A LEGEND!!!

Ah! If it isn't my old buddy MikeyC! A word of warning to people about MikeyC. DONT TRUST HIM. I have been ripped off by this Amiga "owner". He offered to copy his old Mac Office onto my CD (for Shapeshifter emulator). I sent him a blank CD and some money (i think was £2). I know this wasn't much, but i count myself lucky that it wasn't a bigger situation. Anyway the guy took ages before replying to email, etc making out excuses. So after about 3/4 months, i told him to stick it. I didn't get a reply from him after that. And he has not even had the decency to send the stuff back.
It is hard to believe that this nutter was a moderator here and also a current moderator at AmigaWorld.net. That is why i left. And if people think i am talking b/s, then they can contact the man himself and see what you get out of him.
If there was a big weakness with me, it would be having patience and being a little hot headed sometimes. Anyway, the badest troll on the planet is none other than DoomMaster, some of his posts made me crack up, it was a shame he took it too far with his scams. Was this Shawn the bus arch troll a member of Amiga.org? I need a laugh :-D

He seemed harmless enough at first, especially since he toned his writing style down a bit, but I doubt the members of this site whom Doomy/Boingboss etc ripped off would be quite so charitable.
I wanted to believe he was turning over a new leaf and felt sorry for him when people flamed him for the sake of it, but ripping off other users and / or telling people that their cherished systems were "pieces of crap" was nigh on inexcusable IMHO. For those reasons he should be banned and stay banned.
-
@sumner7: correct.
He has had alot of chances, even told one of us that he was going to clean up his act so to speak, but then turned back into a troll. That kind of stuff isnt needed. Once one person says one thing then another and it just snowballs after that.

Are you ******* high or something? He stole from a.org users repeatedly, and flat out said "There's nothing you can do about it."
Screw that, let him rot.

Just got sent a useless email from Mikey_C. With the title "something for you". I also got sent a zip fil e titled "creditcard". It turns out that there is bugger all in the zip file. And the message only says "why?". Retard.

I'm glad to see he hasn't lost his sense of maturity :-D
-
Okay Since I am being slandered here, I will make a short statement.
CU_Amiga. I did eventually post that software CD to you. (About 1st week in August) Don't blame me, blame the Post office if it has not arrived. It was sent! Yes I am sorry I took so long to send it.
As to the alleged email I sent to you.
I only ever use simplemail. if you care to look at the client that originated the email, I am sure you will find it was not simplemail. I have much better things to do with my life than send people viruses. I have not sent you any emails. Period! full stop.
On the troll thing, I hardly ever post on Amiga.org, and Ann. So I hardly think that qualifies me as a troll.
And finally bloodline, please don't comment on matters that you know nothing about. You don't know me, so I would prefer it if you stayed out of this.
That's All I am going to say on this subject.
-

I doubt of this. I doubt that the real Micke_C done it, as on ANN there is a lot of Mikey_C fakers.
And to make a stupid esample, i received spam/virus mails from
amiga@hyperion-entertaiment.com with amiga os4 subject... it was a stupid and lame virus for Windows :-)
@thread
I found silly open a topic like this, also because i've seen a good number of hypocritical users, who sometimes act like a troll and they really don't even understand it.
Everyone should be supportive and creative, not distructive.... and this useless thread only make the game of the trolls like Doomy.
-
The old adage is true:
If you don't like the thread/are not interested in it, don't read it/post on it.
If you must know, this thread was meant to be a PARODY. A piece of humour.
On the front page there were about three threads with titles such as:
Best(rarest) computer games
Worst computer games
Best Amigas
Worst Amigas.
I was expecting the thread to sink without trace, as it was only intended as a temporary bit of humour. Not as trolling in itself. In fact, it was sinking - only restore2003 posted to it initially. I didn't expect all these responses.
But I must say, I don't think its given exposure to the trolls - if anything, its been quite informative and helped
genuine users not be fooled by some of the more nefarious users in the Amiga community.
-
@Mikey_C
The email sent was from mike@amigaworld.net. So what you said about that is probably true. But i think you are talking a crap about you sending me that CD. The questions that come up for me are:
Why would you sent the CD at the beginning of August, instead of earlier or not at all.
Why did you not contact me at all about what you were doing? You knew that i was a member of Amiga.org, and that had all my contact details on.
Why the hell did it take so damn long to send the CD to me? I live in the same country and it only requires a trip to the post box.
You did not contact me at any point so i did not know any of this, and quite frankly, it sounds like a load of tosh what you are saying. If you have any decency, and that you have kept to your word, you would send me the Mac file/office through via email. The ball is in your court Mikey_C.

Take your problems to PM, I figured this would get personal.
