Yet another GAF thread - I still haven't got over it :( (No spergfits allowed)

[Van Cruncheon]

demi's a perfect admin. you want special treatment? bribe him or fuck him. or be really fat and hirsute. it's as fair a meritocracy as any. i mean, really: fat, rich, hairy, horny dudes SHOULD be top of the ladder. it's right there in the logo.

[Atramental]

I wonder how much a fancy purple name would cost. 

Then again, I wouldn't spend a dime for someone to change my username's hexcode from #334466 to #800080. 

I do that shit all day at my webdesign job.

[demi]

Why do you try to come across with some uppity attitude? You're a pathetic fuckup. Come off it, cholo.

[nachobro]

I'm moderately fat (I think...) but super hairy? What can I get for that?

The only reason anyone should look at their fucking phone while driving is GPS navigation. But they even have voices and dash mounts for that shit.

[brawndolicious]

I think the guy is just saying that it makes breaking the law less dangerous. I mean we all check who texted us while driving, this guy is basically just saying that a smart watch is useful the same way a seatbelt is when you're going 10 mph over the speed limit.

The only thing I've taken away from that thread is that apparently minimalism is bad? Modern graphic design is a huge step up from the last decades and while some companies go to far with their minimalism for the most part designs are nice and clean and often simplistic. Which is a breath of fresh air after the 90s and 00s.

GAF = 90s/early 00s nostalgiatards

however, this kind of stuff always seems to go in cycles - the current minimalistic trend is a revival of the 50s/60s international style which was a popularization of 20s modernism and Bauhaus etc. people will gradually add more to jazz things up and look different until nothing will be minimalist anymore, at which point minimalist styles will look fresh again and the cycle will repeat

Indeed, it is a cycle. They'll be happy in 10-15 years when grunge style comes back. Kill me now.

[nudemacusers]

yeah, grunge is rolling back. just look at saint laurent.

if you're ever in an accident, it would take like 30 minutes for your phone to turn back on.  you should just turn airplane mode on or something.

Cheesy 80s/90s new age/world music is best cheesy 80s/90s trend (it's basically what JRPGs are), wish that would come back in ...

People seriously turn their phones off while driving?

[Himu]

I don't turn mine off but I don't answer either.

Exodust: what grunge? The graphic design fad from the 00's? Or the music style? Because I'm talking about graphic design fads, and grunge faded out with the paint smears and random circles a few years back. Today's graphic design is all about minimalism, which is the anti-thesis to grunge.

[nudemacusers]

rip raygun magazine

torn up shit in design will probably come back again, too. just a matter of time before people get bored of primaries everywhere.

Okay well as a company, you'd aim  your products for the lowest common denominator. I'll trust you when you say you don't even use it for GPS navigation or Pandora or something but everybody else does.

If your phone doesn't ping a local cell tower within 2-5 mins, I feel sorry for you and you need to get a better phone.

I can't even exclude smartphones from this as that should be the first thing it triggers/tries to find before trying to find a wifi or bluetooth spot.

Am I loved and protected by the mods, Steve? 

I don't really know how to answer something like that. For the most part, if I had juicy info, it's probably not something I would offer publicly here unless it was otherwise known to people who knew to look for it. You haven't been banned a lot, so my gut instinct would be to assume that you have some more bans left before someone just says "maybe this time enough's enough." But I honestly don't know if anyone has you in their sights. And if that were the case, generally speaking, mods show a good deal of deference to each others judgement. So, if this is a "you got my back?" question (not saying it is), the answer would be the same to you as anyone else here, on GAF, or in real life: probably not. I know different people have their own opinions of the different mods, but even if it sounds like a lame copout answer, the fact of the matter is that I think there's a lot of mutual respect among the moderators there. There's not a lot of bickering in terms of "You've done goofed by banning that person I like! We need to fix this egregious misstep!"

(I modified one sentence, there.)

Kinda LTTP, but honestly Steve - how the fuck do you 'respect' any of the moderators there? I mean, just off the top of my head:

- Lore is an introvert turned egomaniac
- Mutes is a sexually repressed virgin
- Whiteman is clinically insane
- Duckroll is a pedophile
- Opiate is just awkwardly bizarre

And so on. It's pretty much the equivalent of what I would expect from going to a weird con or some brony meet-up.  Granted, I'm sure there's a few mods who are not socially awkward. Perhaps even respectable. However, the vast majority are downright weird and creepy.

I'm assuming some residual worship and/or collective circle-jerking has rubbed off on you given your status now. Otherwise, I can't fathom anyone 'respecting' the above cretins.

Mods I like:

Mumei (lol at the haters here)
Stump
charlequin
Cyan
Kabouter
Steve

There are some I simply don't interact with or see enough because gaming side I tend to avoid like cancer except some thread every once and a while. Then there are some that are just "pffft whatever."

[Momo]

Mumei is a fucking clown, lol at you.


On that note, the only moderator I like is Kagari  

[Shaka Khan]

Ever since I read Mutes' post about "observing good looking men and trying to emulate their style" I developed a desire to have sex with him.
Ginger, virgin, dead eyes, sociopathic, and cluelessly gay?

[Tasty]

Stump. <3 Dat Canadian lumberjack vibe.  

Aeana and EC are cool too but I don't interact with them much anymore it feels like. Seda was a great poster before becoming a mod, and I still don't really see him as one lol. Just another member of ToonamiGAF.

[brawndolicious]

Other than maybe Bish, I honestly don't think most mods enjoy being a moderator (specifically as in banning people). That they probably just do it to clean the shit out of the threads they usually post in. If I was the type of poster who liked to argue all the time, I would be a horrible mod since I'd have to kill my own food source.
