thanks, gogo. i saw that AZ parody a few days ago, i got a good chuckle out of it.

The "loudest" comments and the most abundant commentors seem to hold sway regardless of substance.


This is so very true. It reminds me of the heyday of cassieiswatching - this forum was 2/3rds posts about CIW, giving one the impression that CIW was even more popular than bree. but in fact, the ciw videos on youtube were much less popular than the lg15 videos of that same period in terms of views. the fact that a bunch of cassie fans congregated here to enjoy that offshoot did not mean that the viewership of lg15 at large preferred CIW or likes ARGs at all. if we could do a semi-legitimate poll, i am sure we'd find that many more people detest FIRST! (especially at the level it has now reached) than enjoy it. which group are the mods in? i don't know.

Is that still allowed? Smile I am enjoying the recent improvements, too.

Honestly, Milowent, sometimes I don't think so. Crying or Very sad

Oh kristenjane, I was in such a foul mood, but now I am refreshed and happy. And your comment's sweetness and sincerity pushed aside all my negativity. I don't mean to go off topic, but it would be amusing if the whole front comment page consisted of people just saying fiiirst1111!!!! (and in your words) "retracting their first, or arguing because they werent first." teehee

*clears throat, straightens up and flies right and goes back On Topic"

Yes, first-saying can be quite challenging to some non-first-sayers. I dare say that some folks, like me, might even be too intimidated by this behavior to venture onto the front comment page. I would be afraid that any comment I shared would be forever lost in a frantic sea of firsts and meeps...

The front page does seem to have developed its own culture, however, so I will try to do my best to be understanding and search the depths of my soul for acceptance (or at least tolerance). I guess it's better to have those who enjoy the practice of first-saying and meeping to have an outlet on the front page on which to do so, rather than to clog up the forum with said first-saying and meeping.

(Yes, I am quite aware that my own crappy posts often clog up this forum. Not talking However, my posts are usually quite long, impeccably spell-checked and often time at least have the appearance of containing substantial ideas and rich detail in every long-ass, wordy sentence.)

The Firsters puzzle me with their blatant stupidity and oafishness. Certainly a rather bizarre LG sub-culture.

I wonder if they act that way in public or if they feel the need to act like morons on the main page just to get it our of their systems.

I just can't envision anyone in line at the local doughnut shop screaming "Firrrrrst" every morning. Maybe they do, thank goodness I eat bananas for breakfast and don't have to endure such unpleasantness.

I agree, it does slow down page load time. Pretty pathetic way to seek attention...

Very Happy

Um, I used to constantly holler first in public on a daily basis. At the gas station, the nail salon, my local green grocer, when picking my children up from school, at the doctor's office, especially at church, and of course at the library.

You don't even want to imagine the commotion when I was actually first in line...

I just don't do it on the main page. As somewhat of a trend-setting hipster, I feel that it has simply gone out of style. (it's so 2006)

Yeaaah.

Basically? It happens everywhere. It's certainly not unique to YouTube and subcultures. And, unfortunately, short of disabling front-page comments altogether, there's nothing that could be done short of employing ten or more people full time to delete the damned things.

Just a thought - presumably the front page comments are more to show the community's existence and in part their discussions, rather than for basic observations to be made.

So perhaps replace those comments with links to related forum posts - the most recent active threads in particular forums, perhaps.

Because you're right, the FIRSTers aren't going to be bothered with logging in and finding a thread to post in - too much effort for a potential two milliseconds of faux-fame.

Dearest Forum Community Members,

I understand the concern and anguish you feel at observing the phenomenon that is FIIRRSTTT!1!!11 Saying while not understanding the motivations that lie behind the practice. Discomfort abounds where understanding is limited. Imagine a visitor with no knowledge of Christianity observing the Eucharist--not understanding the reasons underlying the ritual, they would surely be appalled by the seemingly cannibalistic practice!

FIRSSTTTT!11!11, if I may be so bold as to suggest visiting my website at www.geocities.com/General_Firstsayer/ to better understand. But to show my respect for your chosen medium, I will also attempt to give a FFIRRSSTT!11 Saying primer in this thread:

FIRSTT!1! Saying began as a simple exclamation of the joy of actually being first. But in that exclamation, we uncovered an even deeper, esoteric joy. Attempting to realize that joy and discover its source, pioneering FIRSTSSTTTT!!!111!11 Sayers began crying out FFFIRIRRRSSTTT!!11 even when they were, in fact, not first!

We say FFFIIRIRSSSSTTT!!1!1!111 because in so doing we reach the highest level of our self-realization!

In saying FFFIIRSSSTTTT!1!11 we are proclaiming the fundamental "1-ness," the ultimate unity, of all existence--we realize the Brahman-Atman Identity in the flash of an instant!!!

The root of life's pain lies in our all too human inability to understand the fundamental unity of all things--in our mistaken belief that we are somehow separate, distinct individuals from all that is. The enemies of FFIRRRSTSTTT!1!1 Saying often display a peculiar vicious ferocity in their attacks upon our community, indicating that they may indeed be experiencing such pain.

Thus I exhort you join us! Cry FFFIIIRSSTTT!!1!1 with all the heart you can muster! If you feel shy in the environment of the phorum, try posting FFFFIIRRRSSTTTT!!1!11 on the comments page, where the atmosphere is both understanding and encouraging!

Heed not the desperations of the enemy!!!

Soldiers----Let the cries of FFFIIIIRRRRSSSTTTTT!!!!111!11!111 ring into the night!!!

FFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRSSSSSTTTTTTTT!!!!!1!!!1!171!1!!11111

I have opened my heart to those who seek to express themselves through first-saying and meeping. Although this practice is not for me, I will refrain from any needless chiding of those who do wish to engage in this controversial form of discourse. I realize that some of my sarcastic comments in this thread demostrate a cold, heartless world view (albeit amusing at times). I choose to be a peace-maker.

Go on with your bad selves.

Sincerely,
etc., etc.

gogo "Blessed are the peacemakers". You are the better person. IT is a beautiful thing to tolerate that which you do not understand and those who are true buttheads.
