You totally stole that.

I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.

I have been watching this thread and so far I have refrained from posting LAST! and closing it .

On topic: those first posters are just pests.

It's sad, (Pathetic really) that those, might I quote "attention whores" of the internet get far more attention than those who take time to post something intelligent. As the ones who thoroughly read post later and get shoved all the way to the end of the posting list receiving less fame than dirt. The reason why I have such strong feeling about this is because I compared to real-life (I would recommend others doing this as well.) From the beginning of kindergarten who gets more attention the popular ones, or the intelligent, ethical, remotely sensible ones? Huh? EVEN KINDERGARTNERS do this without realizing the psychological means of it. I wonder if it's just the human hardwired into our genetics or just our selfish, screwed up society that inevitably results into parents.

I, however, have no such restraint. I am an evil bitch though, so...

PENULTIMATE!

Go on, then. You know it's inevitable.

Last? Well I'm no mod so I can't close it.

I wouldn't compare Internet to real life.
Internet is a place where you can act and talk stupidly in front of others while remaining anonymous and without assuming your acts, you just need to know how to use a computer. The worst that can happen to you is to be kicked out.

So yes, those useless post are annoying but it's up to you to give them support by offering them attention...or not. The more you react to them, to more you make them important.
I'm grateful to the admins and mods here to take care of this annoyance for us, so we can share, discuss and have fun peacefully.

I'm a little bit more concerned about the fact that Internet is also a place where you can come out with a stream of abuse and let pour anger and frustration without any restraint with impunity. A lot of popular places are plagued with hatred. What is easy is tempting...

I have no confidence that this is a choice. I think in real life people are simply more circumspect about revealing just how dumb they really are.

I've just been having that quote on my mind the last few weeks!
I do think that some people try to hide their stupidity in RL though, but it's easy to reveal those.. and most likely they are not people that are outside very much ;P

I think people just feel ''important'' or just wanna say something random.I get a bit annoyed by seeing I'm first or I have the blah blahth post in here,but only when they say without mentioning something else.I do that rarely just to say something fun-not because I find posting first or whatsoeverth very important- but first I always talk about something else,which is the real point of my reply.

As well as I find just talking about that annoying,I also find it annoying when people insults someone saying that.No need to do that!

"FIRST!" is a harmless social game that we are obliged to play. The first person claims first and everyone afterwards jokingly complains. Yeah, I've never heard of a case where someone was murdered over it, so it's fun at best and annoying at worst.

Am I showing my age by getting annoyed when I see people leaving "I'm first!" or "First comment!" on posts? Especially when that's ALL they say, not providing any other detail or comment?

I'm only bringing this up here because it's started to creep up on MTS. Over the last few weeks I've noticed some of the newer downloads being put up have had "First comment" posts tacked onto them.

Should these posts be removed when they don't provide any other type of comment, critique, suggestion, praise? Is it part of the 1st amendment? Am I the only that that's annoyed by this?

(Already prepared for the funny guy/girl that says "First" to this...) =)


I know, isn't that annoying? I've seen that on Youtube before, too...

I think trolls only post "First!" because they know the commotion it will bring. Honestly, have you ever once saw a "First!" comment that wasn't followed by a "Nobody cares if you're first, you're so stupid!" or a "So? What do you want? A cookie?" comment and so many more. I personally find the endless replies to the first commenter far more obnoxious than the troll them self.

Bird pretty much said what I think about it ^

At least a first post stops at first post (or 2nd if they are slow). Now say that fast!

I don't really understand it either. I mean even a post that just says I agree is warranted sometimes but first comment adds no chance of any discussion.
I see this "first comment" a lot on gossip sites so it's mostly a younger thing and if they're doing it to be popular, wth? first of all that won't get you any brownie points with other internet users, second of all why is being popular on the internet so important..sure it's nice to have internet friends (as someone who loves to chat on the internet I can certainly understand this) but popularity on the internet usually involves shallow things and what is popularity on the net going to get you anyway? it's not like being a real celebrity where you can get money, lots of stuff etc. out of it

however I think Bird might be right. a lot of the times it does seem like a troll because this meme has been around long enough to make the majority of internet users who do it most likely already know what kind of replies they would get out of it

Reading this thread, I immediately thought of Youtube.

And oh god, the Youtube comment section is like the epitome of human stupidity.

So. Much. Rage.
*breath*

Anyway,
Any site that allows people to post useless stuff like "first comment" is not a site worth posting in.

I guess I'm the only one that's not bothered by it... I see this kind of thing on Facebook all the time, I think it's just a silly thing people do, for example, if a celebrity posted something, you would want to be FIRST to kind of get their attention and show that you're a devoted fan. But I've never seen anybody on THIS site do it... Gosh, you're right, that sounds bad.

Am I the 47th? I have no idea


But yeah the problem is most posts on sites are crowded with 1st 2nds and 3rds because it apparently matters so much to them. Obviously they're stupid and unoriginal people who never deserved to get past the first grade, but that's not nice to point out to them even if it's true.
