10 types of DiS poster

Wiggles [Edit] [Delete] 03:43, 29 January '05
Disclaimer: don't read if you're easily offended. It's a joke, OK? And I'm bored, full of caffeine,
and have too much time on my hands.

1. Opinionated indie snob - Top of the forum hierarchy. Equally passionate about own ultra-obscure bands
and rubbishing everybody elses more mainstream favorites. Will invariable resort to childish name-calling.

2. Opinionated indie inverted snob - generally only posts to engage in retort/counter-retort arguments with 1.
Will invariably resort to childish name-calling.

3. Nice Person - Annoys everybody by posting only extremely inoffensive/friendly things. Probably has a name,
but nobody can remember it.

4. Smartarse - mostly lurks, only posts to make smart comments. Has nothing to contribute, and rarely
talks about music. Probably a graduate with nothing better to do. Nobody likes a smartarse.

5. Youngster - Age 14 - 18. Mainly posts to slate corporate chart pop and manufactured bands, without realising
that everybody is past this. Has only just discovered "proper" music and thinks he/she has the definitive
taste.

6. Oldster - Insists on regaling everybody with tales of their drunken exploits as a youth. Will avoid saying
offensive to maintain the facade of being the voice of reason. Secretly extremely insecure about age, but will
use reverse psychology to hide it.

7. Hack - Extremely clever and funny person. Will take every opportunity to remind everybody of this fact.

8. Non-forum poster - Only ever posts in Comments section, generally to critique review style. Caution: extremely
boring person.

9. Lurker - Very occasionally posts to defend favorite band, only to get ripped to shreds by the regulars. Will
then throw a hissy fit and not post again for a long time.

10. Wanker - posts inflammatory comments to annoy/offend everybody. Fuck off.
