Stop posting in this spam thread of shame and sickness.
@Wio A lot of his posts now are a direct 360 of his first claims.
And, as @Shinn Kamiyra said, he's just a source of amusement. Yes, I've harped on him, and I'll probably do it again. He just makes it easy. His posts are nonsensical. More so then most of the stuff that gets posted on AF. As is evident by his frequent banning.
I'm not saying its his problem. It's the opposite. One aspect in which he is more mature than certain members here is that in spite of being taunted by other members, he rarely lowers himself to that standard.Quote:

Take a recent blog post of his, "Omg hot irl babes!!!!!!", as a prime example. He said he just wanted to prove that he can find real life girls to be attractive. But, really, after all the nonsense we've already dealt with in arguing about his obsession with only finding anime girls attractive, is there any doubt as to his intent behind that entry? I certainly don't think so.
That was a garbage thread made so members could make nonsense posts to see who would make the biggest funny. There was no discussion to be had anyway. Amusement is a subjective thing. This means that things which amuse one person might not amuse another and vice-versa. But even if it were an objective thing as you imply, and he was objectively not amusing, there would still be no problem here.Quote:
A far more recent example is in his comment in the recent "Vancouver" thread in which he suggested that the whole thing was a conspiracy. Again, nonsense, and really in no way constructive or amusing.
I can and will blame people for childish behavior, and I mean that with the negative connotation of the word. If you don't like what someone has to say, then you ignore it or disagree with it. When I see a bunch of members trying to one up each other in taunts and image macros I feel like I'm in middle school again.Quote:
You may well be right in that he simply has unpopular opinions and that some of our members may be intolerant, but then I can't really blame them.
VG555 has standards?Quote:

Also if he had any maturity, he'd stop posting said stupid threads. Your call.
Oh? Well that is one way to think about it, I suppose, and I would have to agree that he doesn't lower himself to the standard of simply mocking others. He's much more creative than that. In classic style he continually spams our forum with his nonsense posts, baiting our fellow AFers with his ridiculous threads, such as this one for example, etc.Quote:

Nah, no real reason to get worked up 'bout it, just like there isn't any reason to get worked up about anything he does, hence why I said he isn't to be taken seriously. Regardless, doesn't mean we can't find his ridiculous attempts to prove he isn't just obsessed with anime girls amusing. ;DQuote:

Perhaps it's simply in that he's found some measure of tolerance here, by which I mean he hasn't yet received the permaban hammer here as he has in other forums, that he continues to stay.Quote:

That depends on how you look at it, I suppose. Although, in my opinion, the kids giving the taunts and the kid acting stupid so that he WILL get taunted are both the same type of immature and there is honestly no point in comparing the two. VG555 may not reciprocate the taunts but what he does is try to get a rise out of people (which he unfortunately does), to get them TO taunt him, which is just as stupid as the taunts themselves.Quote:

Some members find VG555 to be a source of amusement. A quick look at my sig will tell you that I don't. Acting like an idiot is not something I find "amusing" (on AF or in real life). Some people don't mind him being here while I would much rather see him permabanned for acting like a jackass (the fact that he makes others act out just as badly doesn't help either).
You don't want to know the number of times I have mentioned the words "permaban" and "VG555" to other members of staff; you're not alone in that regard.Quote:

evolving into a troll we can rely and be proud of
I doen't make sense. Why don't they permaban him already? *facepalm* Well as long as he doesn't find and join the forum that i'm working on as a Admin, i guess i'll be ok.Quote:

When I was an elementary schoolboy I was friends with this guy in his late 20s, mainly because he lived close to us with his parents. He was very different. The things he said were often awkward, non sequitur, and unintentionally inconsiderate. He broke a lot of social norms and was unashamed. This drew hostility of others, mainly children and adolescents but occasionally from adults too. Even I was somewhat of a dick to him at first. People would say lots of cruel things to him, yet he rarely retaliated. Many of the insults went over his head, but some did hit home, they did hurt him, and I remember that pain most vividly. The weirdest part of it all is that he would associate with other kids regardless of how mean they were to him, so long as they were willing to play with him.
I was a bit of a bully until I finally realized that he couldn't help the way he was. He had a some sort of mental illness. Although he was different he wasn't malicious or hateful, so was it fair to be mean to him? I'm not diagnosing VG555 as a troll or a sincere, special person. The situations look similar to me, so I find it very distasteful to find the least. On the other hand, I'm a bit accustomed to such awkward behavior, so I can't sympathize as much with the annoyed members.
Have you ever seen me ridicule him? If you can't help but ridicule, you don't post at all. It'd be different if you didn't have plenty of time to figure out the kind of person he is.Quote:

You should post the link.Quote:

I did a search too and noticed the same thing.Quote:

Archived version since they locked 90% of the site to guests.
EDIT: Seems AF has blocked the site name.
We could go to AF chat, or you could use a visitor message?
Since he's been banned, I'm losing the thread.
