The unofficial "Off topic Team17" forum

[Melon]

http://www.team17.tk/
Some of you may have heard about this hidden amoungst yuahui's inane ramblings. I thought I'd take a peek at it. Here's the "best" of my rummage.

http://www.kieranmillar.com/membermonth.png
Yuahui, Basti@n, and pieman are mods
Yaoi Naruto fanfic (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Team17/index.php?showtopic=195), which includes classic lines such as: "He continued to sniff the pillow. Nearly the whole pillow was covered in a salty smell, except the middle."
Basti@n's idea of comedy (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Team17/index.php?showtopic=147)
HackerMan displays his wonderful posting skills (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Team17/index.php?showtopic=135), topped off by the last post demonstrating Basti@n's worldwide knowledge, mistaking the french flag for the american one.
My seizure avatar fad gets mentioned (post 4) (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Team17/index.php?showtopic=130)
Andrew gets his comics posted for him (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Team17/index.php?showtopic=144)

Let's not spam that forum or in any way try to intefere, it'll be funnier to just sit back and watch.

[Pickleworm]

I know I said this with unhappy end too but I feel it needs reiteration:

This is exactly why the old members are big jerks about enforcing rules and even make fun of people. There is no aspect about the forum that doesn't make my brain wince.

edit: but seriously lol about yauhui's naruto yaoi fanfic

[SupSuper]

So it's basically an admin chatroom. (not our admins, their admins)

Seriously just look at the member list - http://z11.invisionfree.com/Team17/index.php?act=Members - most just joined so they'd get off their back.

[FutureWorm]

hahahaha it's not even original - he just grabbed some already existing naruto fanfiction and pieced it together like some sort of frankenstein's monster

this guy sucks

[FutureWorm]

though honestly, as long as they can do this stupid **** on their own board and not bring it here, i don't mind

[Pigbuster]

All that, and Smiley Central ads, too!

[SupSuper]

Oh boy this pic this pic:

By the date in the corner, pieman's photo is a year and a half old, but at the same time he must not have aged much or he wouldn't use such an outdated photo.

[Pigbuster]

Woah, that's... weird.

I generally don't give a face to anyone over a forum.
Were 12-year olds always so... young? :p

He's been leaving some very interesting comments on the Dream17 News Page, and has been hotlinking our images (he even asked us for advice concerning hotlinking...). So, yeah, he's not my favourite person in the world.

Can't you set something up so any "redirects" that come from his website are greeted with a "nice" message?

[SupSuper]

Can't you set something up so any "redirects" that come from his website are greeted with a "nice" message?His "website" doesn't even have its own domain, I'd probably end up greeting all of InvisionFree.

EDIT: Just noticed - I would have NEVER registered at the forum because of COPPA! My parents will need to send the COPPA form and that is too much of a hassle.Spread the word! COPPA for every forum!

[thomasp]

Is that really such a loss?

Pieman calls Paul.Power's avatars "poorly drawn"?
That's an outrage! :eek:

[SupSuper]

Looks like they replaced their hideous rank boxes with hideous rank medals.

aww man, flash isn't free. :(Thank heavens.

[Alien King]

Were 12-year olds always so... young? :p

Yes. And they were just as irritating.
I know, I was one.

[Pigbuster]

I am continuously confusing this thread with the 100% off-topic thread.

[Zero72]

It's like they took everything horrible out of our forum and condensed it into something else entirely without any of the good whatsoever.

[AndrewTaylor]

How noble of them.

[Akuryou13]

damn it, now I have to read through that entire forum :p

stupid needing to sleep rather than laugh at stupid.....

[SupSuper]

Oh boy these threads these threads:

You're a bit late for the fad there. Also, a pistol is not bigger than a shotgun and a bazooka is not a green brick with a trigger. But I'm being polite.

i don't think pieman280's "real weapon" collection is actually legal

[SupSuper]

if it's a fighting game you can use those moves for self deffense.I'll have to make a note to jump into the air and kick in the face whoever threatens me on the streets.

[philby4000]

Oh god this is horrible.

Yet I can't stop looking.

[AndrewTaylor]

BTW, I think I know why there are a lot of violence in the UK, but that's another story.

He's probably talking about me.

I kind of find it weird that you can post anybody's art in the fanart section

Nuff' said. I think i'll leave the Team17 forum (the other one, not this one!), there are just lots of spam and guys who act like total n00bs.

[Pickleworm]

I heartily endorse this event and/or product, it has wasted a lot of time of some of the spammiest members of the community and is even sucking in shadowmoon

These t17 branch forums are very good at getting the people we don't want here to leave, and can't ban for a reason better than "we don't like you".

[philby4000]

Grif, here is a smart yet a stupid troll. most trolls couldn't be so constructive, but grif was. however, this quote is still idiotic. no one owns the internet, but the admins, mods or whatever. he's basicly proving that he is the next hitler in line and hitler put an end to his life because he couldn't "shape up" to realise the wrong stuff he had done. Trolls like grif can't face the fact that without polite and kind people, they'd be nothing. all trolls are the same.... they're best slain (not sure if I spelled that right)
This is my favorite part.

He's smart, except he's stupid. no one owns the internet except the people that do. Godwins Law.

So they complain once when people spam and act like "n00bs" on the official Team17 forum, and then complain a second time when the official rules come along to clean the mess up. :rolleyes:

Good god, look at the size of that avatar.
I can't see it in the actual forum, though. (They can (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Team17/index.php?showtopic=213). They think that it's actually HuntaKilla, too. Wonder how that will turn out... :p)
I'm guessing that I'd have to register to see avatars, but I'm not going to do that anytime soon.

See, that is why forums have rules. These rules keep people from giving themselves ridiculously huge avatars.


...I still can't believe anyone still thinks the dancing banana is grade-A humor. It's been around since... what, 2001? Earlier?

All the info transfered, to prevent more spam in the other thread (totally irrelevant of business!)

OK HaK I will need you to PM me the following info (real):

First Name
Last Name
House Address
City
State
ZIP code
Home telephone
Mobile telephone (optional)
Email address
Desired PayPal Account Password
Confirm Password (necessary, just in case you typed wrongly)
City of birth (Security Question 1)
Mother's maiden name (name before marriage) (Security Question 2)

Or else, you can fill the details yourself, but if you dont want then I can settle everything for you - website (I prefer a forum), PayPal transaction system (it's easy!) and everything else.

I wouldn't trust even YOU guys with that much of my personal information.
...and HaK's telling this to Yauhui.
Oh, but it gets better.

ok... So once you got all of it sorted out, please PM me your bank routing number and account number...
I will definatly do that. Im just too busy at work at the moment, so i might only be able to get to my bank, either this weekend, or early next week. (The bank is very far from where i stay )

And then ill send you the details...

...What.

I mean, isn't that exactly the information hackers go to such length to find out? :p and he's going to toss it around like that.....

[SomePerson]

You mean his parents' bank account number...:rolleyes:

edit: so it appears he's 24? What's he doing hanging around with a bunch of 12-year-olds?

I need to stop viewing this thread. It's costing me too many brain cells. I don't have many left.

[Star Worms]

personal info (such as the mother's maiden name)That's freely available information anyway (In the UK anyway).

[Melon]

Ahahahaha! This is just becoming beyond belief! I can't believe half of this stuff is actually real!

By the way, does anybody know who Dreamster is? I suspect that it's someone from Dream17, because of the name.

[Akuryou13]

That's freely available information anyway (In the UK anyway).I was meaning that section as in the answers to the security questions more than just my mother's last name.

[AndrewTaylor]

I would NEVER EVER EVER give any of you my address.

The regulars here swap addresses every so often -- mailing stuff back and forth, and visiting each other and whatnot. It's not a big deal.

Aside from anything else, if you try to steal my identity and open a bank account in my name using my address, then the card and pin will arrive at my house and that's the kind of thing I notice.

Though yes, that guy's an idiot.

EDIT 2: Creating a forum all over again will be too troublesome... I'll make a simple website with my trusty Microsoft Frontpage and publish them on Yahoo! Geocities Free (the url will be www.geocities.com/<whatever> but I'll create a .TK url.. i intend it to be www.poetry.tk or www.poems.tk, i hope they are valid)I'm not gonna even tell you the number of things wrong with this sentence.
ahahah!
ahahah xD
This is the kind of elaborate sophisticated posts the 10-character-limit saves us from.

So what's HaK's job anyways?
I AM THE BOSS! Im general manager! hehe
Its called "About Packaging". I have not uploaded our website yet, I finished it about 1 month ago... Im just waiting for the owners to agree to my website, and then it will get uploaded!
packaging materials...

Polyolefin
Polyethylene
Bubblewrap
Stretchwrap (Pallet wrap)

Nothing too special!Wow. I can see why he's thinking of switching to the poem business. It's much more glamorous!

hi, why not NEITHER of us build the webpage? why dont we ask SupSuper to do it?

http://supsuper.wurmz.net/supspider/

I found this on an advertisement on Dream17.co.ukNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I knew advertising would bite back sooner or later.

Luckily, yauhui saves my day with this masterpiece! http://www.geocities.com/poem.emporium/web-layout.html (and you thought the avatars were big)

[philby4000]

Hunterkiller bricklaying, then BAM poetry buisness sacm.

I'm begining to think that forum can't get any worse.

[Pigbuster]

I... still can't get over the fact that Yauhui writes Naruto yaoi.

And he's posting it on a forum that is frequented by 12-14 year olds.
I don't actually know how old he is. I thought he was young-ish, but the yaoi and "Let's start a poetry business!" thing are confusing me. :confused:

I still don't understand that fact. What the hell is Naruto yaoi? Is it French for "natural yoghurt"?

[Akuryou13]

I still don't understand that fact. What the hell is Naruto yaoi? Is it French for "natural yoghurt"?it means he writes gay naruto fan fiction where all the pretty little boys have horrible pasts and like to console each other by making out.

[Pickleworm]

I still don't understand that fact. What the hell is Naruto yaoi? Is it French for "natural yoghurt"?

Naruto is an anime, yaoi is gay anime porn, he's writing about the male cast of a japanese children's show getting it on.

That's pretty neat, I don't get why the thread is like "surgery is gross, don't have it" and I also don't get why yauhui posted it but such is the magic of the unofficial t17 off-topic forum though. They also need to adopt a nice abbreviation for a name.

I'm gonna be different here and point out their default forum skin is hideous.

[AndrewTaylor]

Basically all forum skins are hideous except for the default ones that come with forums and colour mods thereof.

[Melon]

To be fair, did they not just post a link to my comics?

That's true, they did. They didn't actually steal your comics or anything.

Damn, that's one less thing I can make fun of.

Don't worry. Infinity minus one is still infinity.

Yeah, there are some. This one's good. But almost none compared to the total number out there.

A lot of them look amazing, to be fair, but they're unusable. The usable ones tend to look awful.

http://z11.invisionfree.com/Team17/index.php?showtopic=130 - HaK's post towards the bottom of the 1st page (the really long one)...

He seems to think that posting information on a piracy site is almost nothing, and then complains when he gets permabanned for no apparent reason. The admins here chose to carry out the banning on their own accord, no input from the usermods. We (well, I :p) just dished out a 20point infraction! We're not influenced by anyone - just idiots like Hackerman on the forum.

[Squirminator2k]

No. Idiots.

That could be fun. We could invent all kinds of stories about how we were variously banned.

(Also, I may have told Shadowmoon there's a game called Worms Tiltball Fever on the way.)

Did anyone link to HaK's post in this thread yet? http://z11.invisionfree.com/Team17/index.php?showtopic=41&view=getnewpost

[FutureWorm]

http://z11.invisionfree.com/Team17/index.php?showtopic=130 - HaK's post towards the bottom of the 1st page (the really long one)...

He seems to think that posting information on a piracy site is almost nothing, and then complains when he gets permabanned for no apparent reason. The admins here chose to carry out the banning on their own accord, no input from the usermods. We (well, I :p) just dished out a 20point infraction! We're not influenced by anyone - just idiots like Hackerman on the forum.

and for once he had no response to me... I called him Sperminator...

But he was asking for trouble, when he harrassed me....

But remember, name calling is immature and not cool...

Also, I'm with the interact-as-little-as-possible crowd.

Personally, as I stated in the first post, I think it would be better if we didn't start posting there.

They've come up with comedy gold without us, and if we start to make them realise there are people watching them then they might try to be more careful.

And we wouldn't want that.

It's a green but dangerous forest.

There's two ways. A "Normal" one and one that has some metallic things on the way... How crazy.

Basti@n enters the forest, and gets curiosity about the metallic things... What could they be? He chosses the second way.Yes, what could they be, because you'll never know beyond "metallic things".

Basti@n says: AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! THERE'S LOTS OF THESE METALLIC THINGS... Uh? Yay! Here they are created! I need to destroy this base now!
A crime has been commited. The victim: English.

Shadowmoon follows behind him, keeping an eye on him. He looks around curiously, looking for something interesting.

Shadowmoon walks behind him, looking around curiously for any weird creatures, holding his flaming katana and his knife.

Shadowmoon walks on, with Basti@n trailing behind him.
Shadowmoon is the epitome of originality.

Shadowmoon walks through the cave, wondering what Basti@n is doing. The cave was quite dark, but shadowmoons flaming katana lit up the cave.

Shadowmoon heard a growl. He jumped.

Shadowmoon says: Whats that?

I say we spread this to other forums and make it global :)

[Akuryou13]

I love how he insists phreaking is alive and kicking to this day just because he picked that one to jump behind. sorry, I did a term paper on the history of hacking. did a fair bit of research for said report and there was a listed DATE of when phreaking became obsolete. after the leader of the whole thing (a guy by the name of cap'n crunch, named after the whistles in that cereal that were the perfect tone for phreaking) shared all his tricks and so many people and so many were making free calls, they switched the system. we no longer use the same tonal-recognition system for phones, so I really don't see HOW you could even evolve the method. hell, talking on the phone is free these days anyway, basically. you have to pay for cell-phones, but most actual land-lines are something like 2 or 3 cents a minute around here. hardly worth the time to hack. sure, you could hack cell phones, but people DO that, and it's hacking software rather than just the phone connection.

no switch-boards for cell phones, unfortunately.

I just WISH I could've joined in. :-/

Here's pieman's judgment:

Obviously, 5 pages of insults will have some punishments to it. I have not read all 5 pages, but I know enough for the punishments.

S2K and mtlangelus, you guys will be warned to 40%. Hak....... I can't beleive I'm saying this but..... the second post you made alone was enough to ban you.... I can't beleive I have to ban you. you were a good friend.... it just doesn't make any sense to why you posted all of this uncensored foul words and insults.

I hope you will all uderstand how stupid this is. and to think it all started with a comment on dream17.

I will leave this open for any "I'm sorry" posts, but the second someone goes back to insults... I'll lock this thing! http://209.85.48.12/11754/195/emo/cantspeak.gif

new improved isometricThese words don't go together.

[SargeMcCluck]

These words don't go together.

Isometric is fantastic! Take RPGs! All the old isometric ones were generally better (and hell, _prettier_) than crappy 3D for the sake of 3D (although Oblivion and Skyrim are exceptions to the "prettier").

[Lex]

My point was that isometric is not a good method for displaying a 2D environment. I wasn't implying 3D. Isometric chess, for example, is awful. Civilization 2 used an isometric perspective for no reason at all, and it was weird. Civ 2 is a great game, but it would have been better if it just stuck with the normal top-down grid style, in my opinion. This game (Worms Evolved) should not be isometric, in my opinion.

If isometric means impossible 3D angle with no depth of field for the sake of easy presentation, then the game is already isometric and it's fine. If isometric means rotating the board 45 degrees and squishing it by 50%, then requiring the use of taller game piece sprites, that's a bad idea for a 2D gridded game.

To respond to you regarding isometric (in the first definition presented above) as a superior way to present a 3D RPG or strategy game ("Heroes Of Might And Magic", "Transport Tycoon", "Baldur's Gate", "Diablo", and "Starcraft" come to mind), I completely agree.

You just need a steeper angle, making it nearly a top down view, but just enough to see the sides of a 3D polygonal model.

Something like the oblique view on the left (135°/135°/90°), or maybe even more:

I must confess, I had no idea what game you were talking about, I just saw "isometric" and negativity. >_>

You make very good points!

[SupSuper]

Aw yeah I remember that, your online version was awesome, if unfinished.

You encouraged me to re-read my thread. The way it ended was totally awesome. (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?p=682716#post682716)

EDIT: Holy crap your online version STILL EXISTS
http://we2.aaprijdtkever.nl/

Anybody want a game? I hope it still works...I wouldn't recommend it, looks like it got a trojan while I was gone. I removed it now but I can't guarantee it still works, since I have no idea how far developed my source was. :p

These words don't go together.It was a joke. :p

I must confess, I had no idea what game you were talking about, I just saw "isometric" and negativity. >_>I get misinterpreted like that a lot. I try to be concise and it ends up causing riots! Also, I wish I didn't have to append "in my opinion" to everything. It really should always just be implied.

Contrary to popular belief, I'm actually a fun-loving person who already knows that everyone else knows what's fun, so the only things I talk about are the things worth talking about; things I'm unsure whether people have thought through as much, like the negative aspects of things. This means I wouldn't post "Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier, which I'm playing right now, is really fun!" for the sake of posting it. I'll let others discover things like that for themselves. Instead, I'll post, "Wow, the character dialog and story in Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier is excessively long. I'll read it, but it's so convoluted and farfetched that it doesn't seem to evoke much emotional response considering how many brain cycles it takes just to understand what's going on. Reading through it is tedious." The implied part in that would be, "but I'll read through it anyway because it's such an awesome game otherwise and I have to know what's going on in order to play it."

I would post the negative part instead of the positive part because the negative part is actually interesting, whereas the positive part is often just interpreted as, "I am having fun! Yay! I am happy. I like this [media], so you should like it too, and if you don't, I don't like you!" which isn't true for me. I can like people without liking what they like! A great example of this is KRD. We have plenty of disagreements, but he's still one of my favorite people in the whole wide world.

Your problem is, that you continually break the Unwritten Law Of Forum Posting of not posting more than 4 lines in a single post. :D

That's not so bad. Whenever I try to contribute to a discussion the thread just dies, until somebody revives it far off into the future for entirely different reasons.

This game (Worms Evolved) should not be isometric, in my opinion.
Funnily enough, one of my original long term goals for Worms Evolved was to code it into a standalone game that was isometric (Disgaea was the main inspiration for me designing it in the first place), but that's mainly because the original design had all of the grid squares have height, rather than a flat board with "land health".

Ultimately, after removing any notion of height to make it easier to play over a forum, I found that I just prefer it in its simplified state. There's no longer any good reason to make it isometric.

Speaking of Worms Evolved, I've got the urge to start it up again, but there's no way in hell I'd do it if I had to calculate everything and update the images manually again. I may look into writing myself a program in Game Maker that does it all for me and spits out images (Game Maker is great for that sort of thing). There's just something about playing it over a forum and all the banter surrounding it that makes it all the more awesome, even if it is a bit unwieldy to play this way.

[Akuryou13]

[Lex]

That's not so bad. Whenever I try to contribute to a discussion the thread just dies, until somebody revives it far off into the future for entirely different reasons.I used to have that problem when I posted more positively, since everyone just agreed and there was nothing more to discuss. It takes daring to actually share negative opinions, since others are passionate about protecting their idolized beliefs, which causes anyone who places said beliefs under honest scrutiny to be placed under a vengeful scrutiny themselves.

To bring this thread back on topic:

Although the board went down, it seems like they had another one up that they were still posting in until 9 months ago!

I have to go to bed now, no time to scour for hilarity. It seems HaK posted here too.

EDIT:

OH MY GOD THEIR GAMING FORUMS ARE STILL GOING!

http://vg-portal.tk/

That's..... honestly, I can't tell if that's actually quite heartwarming or just really really sad. After all these years a small group of about 5 people are still posting away on some obscure corner of the internet to talk about nothing at all.

A bit like us really... :(

[Akuryou13]

A bit like us really... :(difference being that we all just migrated to an active forum at various times and haven't left yet cause we're stubborn and enjoy the company. they set up the forum entirely for the purpose of talking to just the few of them.

We don't have tens of thousands of posts each (well, except Aku :p) generated from just talking about nonsense - our thousands of posts have built up over many years, not months.

And that still doesn't include OD? I can't remember if that includes the OO/AA forums either.

[thomasp]

That won't include OD and AA. OO is included. Nor does it include the mod forum :p

[Alien King]

Ah well. It wouldn't have much effect on the rankings, other than widen the void between Akuryou and the rest of us normal people.

[Xinos]

I practically never post outside OD. When I made a post in OO last summer, I think, somebody got shocked over my ancient joining date and never having seen me before.
I'm sure I have more posts than I want to know about..

Most of my posts were made before the partial forum deletion, so my post count is completely inaccurate. I'm almost certain it's at least 8000.
