okay, i give up. i can't keep track of all these accounts. between minuteman, gimmic, noc, professional, enigma, apparently heckler, who knows who else, only a few of which do i know the users of, i just can't keep up with things any more.
this is almost as bad as back when getbig let guests post, there's no way to know who the fuck you're talking to.
-
Yes it is highly dickish.
I actually created a gimmick account a while back, posted like 5 times and came to the conclusion it is a retarded concept.
-
Yeah, it's fkn stupid. The V sucks now, the best part was that we knew who the fuck we were arguing with. Now people come after us on their first post. I can't complain too much though, I actually feel bad for the poor fucks that go to the trouble to make up these gimmicks to "settle their online scores". ::) Seems like a lot of trouble to go through to make sure that one "handle" doesn't know that another "handle" doesn't like them. :-\

That's exactly what I felt like when i attempted a gimmick.........a pussy.
-
about a month ago i had an idea for a gimmick that i would have enjoyed. and then i realized that it was stupid and there was no reason i couldn't just post the same shit under this name.
danny nailed it, it blows when you have no idea who you're talking to. even faceless accounts are better adversaries than gimmicks that show up and dive right into the fray on their first post. you know it's a gimmick, but you don't know whose it is and it's just annoying.
-
I have my imposter 'CaribbeanQueen' back posting now :-\
-
I must reiterate a Magoo/Groink/Rude modship is perhaps the only way to fix this problem. Kiwi once had a policy of no gimmicks on the V, which he only used to keep Bluto out under the pretense that he was actully BSB, now those two are not the same person, but his idea wasn't bad if enforced fairly.
-
Good thread. I think Benjamin Pearson has one or two. The eye-rolling and "oh brother" usually give him away.
-
If Adonis would just stop having gimmics, we'd get rid of half of them.

Yea and She's actually fat and ugly; very bad imposter ;)

I'm not convinced they are him, he is not a big V board poster actually. I can't remember ever seeing him post here tbh.

Oh, he has posted on the V trust me on that. Alot. I have, how shall I say, the "ear" of someone. Been here 5ish years, and I'm a chick ;)

you sound like kiwiol ::)
im not a 'gimmic'

Fully agreed...if kiwi is stepping down, I will back this ticket, or a combination thereof...
I don't care if someone posts pics or not, you don't have to be a hardcore lifter to impress me or to get me to acknowledge you or whatever, not sure what idiot founded that concept.
I never understood the concept of a gimmic ever and I've been accused of being one hundreds of times.
Magoo, Groink, RB, let's get this shit cleaned up... :)

I call it Internet Multiple Personna Disorder (IMPD). It's probably a sign of childhood trauma.

Couldn't we call it Pathological Internet Multiple Personalities Syndrome (PIMPS) ? ;D

gimmicks are for pussies.......

Yes they are. Take superstarbillygrham, what is he 12 ::)

Fuck no!!!!!!
PIMPS smack bitches, not act like them.
-
look at some of the threads going right now. gimmicks talking to gimmicks? are you kidding me? ::)
-
because you lack the grey matter required to decipher such a cryptic post, ill write and easier version.
gimmick=pussy
the ???... is because someone already has claimed the owner as their gimmick. Now if I could remember who... >:(

Don't bother wasting your time M. You will barely remember the V in a months time!

Notice how we never had that problem before while I was modding? Do you think that was a coincidence?
I made the most noise about every new comer after sending them a welcome PM, just so everyone would either back or trash them, so they'd be part of the family in no time.
A mod's job shouldn't be about housekeeping at all, like merging/deleting threads etc. A mods job is to generate traffic for the board and a good mod will never lose a regular - they should only gain new ones. When your biggest intention is to get as many people to enjoy and you do a good job, the board will never die or go stale / dead.
Of course, there's an element of creative talent that you need to work into it 8)

You lost us all weeks ago.. ??? ???

If you got rid of gimmick accounts, the Getbig membership tally would fall to 27.

seriously. yeah i'm sure kiwi is the sole reason there were no gimmicks and without him that's why they flood in. it has nothing to do with a general chaotic feel in here while mods come and go, or the fact that the last few weeks have been a massive upspike in people 'exposing' and being especially vicious to each other.
honestly it's like claiming that the president is at fault for inflation or education advancement. minor effects maybe but he doesn't wield that kind of power.

God what a narrow mind you have!
A skillful person knows how to take power when there's no one to give it or none to take, Zach.
Go ahead and insult me. I'll check back in later ;D

Didn't most of this start with you? :)

okay, i give up. i can't keep track of all these accounts. between minuteman, gimmic, noc, professional, enigma, apparently heckler, who knows who else, only a few of which do i know the users of, i just can't keep up with things any more.
this is almost as bad as back when getbig let guests post, there's no way to know who the fuck you're talking to.
I agree 100%. to many people you never heard of just coming in guns blazing, makes you wonder why the frick there so mad.I find now for the most part unless I know how you are I am not posting to you.
I did like the guest posteing feature though because some of the creative insult names would be make you double over laughing.

LOL I used to like when you came accross someone cyber fighting with someone and someone would bag on someones mom and the guy would say "my mom died dick" then about 10 seconds later you would see a post from "dead guys mom" talking about how much a fag her son was...to freaking funny.

Just out of curiosity... who does the gimmick Enigma belong to? He's kinda brainy.

And no, that's not true. I liked his posts on the politics board, that's all, so was wondering. >:(
-

it had its moments to be sure, but then you had people who almost never posted under their regular names. or, worse, they'd post under guest names that were extremely similar to actual account names and the whole thing just devolved into absolute chaos.
i like a good free for all board, but only to the point that the members can say whatever they want. you start bringing in all these gimmicks and it just stops being fun.

See thats where the guest feature was best, 90% of the time it was a regular just busting balls. I do think the gimmics ruin the crediability of normal back and forth. It's like when your having a cyber argument and someone uses the Gimmic to help in the attack thats just sad...Recently I think some of the old dogs around here have started gimmics to start fresh or rehash grudges or release information without it being linked to the person they really are...again sad.

i just busted a nut looking in the sex board. :D
some gimmicks are funny, but ones like the professional and dvsgod are awful unfunny fucks.
