It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Coward has the opportunity to bring back forum signature banners on social media but he won't do it.

FUCK. I HATED THOSE.

So many of them were Fight Club jagoff quotes or Ayn Rand jagoff quotes or Terry Goodkind Ayn-Rand-With-Swords jagoff quotes or Nolan Jonkler jagoff quotes. Fuck that entire era. May it stay in the ground. yells-at-cloud

actually I think forum signatures are cool. just g*mers are not a good holder of that power

In truth, I want to agree with you, and I liked them too, but then I got submerged in the flood of competitively edgy assholes in pretty much every forum I participated in back then where it was like an arms race to try to be the most tWiStEd edgelord with the most sociopathic quotes possible, featuring the most tryhard Coldsteel the Hedgeheg avatars possible.

we need to have only admin approved profile pictures and signatures until we figure out what is going on

No gods no admins

I made so much Gaia online money making them though

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 11 points 6 days ago

If only you could somehow haxor them so they gave electric shocks to every edgelord with cryptofash tendencies every time they quoted Terry Goodkind. sicko-wistful

"You aren't special, princess. You are just a rotting piece of meat." -xxxXXXSephirooth666XXXxxx jagoff

Nah the titty ones were the worst

Oh yeah, Terry Goodkind had swords. I think the only good scene I remember from those books was Death Rugby. He must have gotten someone else to write it for him.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago

So much of the rest was "contempt for humanity is 'moral clarity' and seeing everyone else as stupid or subhuman makes you a 'wizard'" which is total chanbrain shit.

I liked the ones that were like Nintendo Wii fan. Demonoid user. Night elf player. God yeah bring these back

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The girlcore versions of that were MySpace profiles with glittering animated rhinestones that said stuff like "1% ANGEL" and "I HATE LIARS"

If you want the messiest possible MMORPG guilds, seek the ones that say "NO DRAMA" on their recruitment pages.

That means the drama is hand-crafted by the guild leadership.

Loved those banners but never had the ability to do one.
