forum monster: "Hey, I think that's cool!"
Scrub: "Dude you dont even fucking play"
forum monster ":("
a sex worker that invades communities and fandoms with the sole purpose of marketing their onlyfans, usually with "cosplays". Much like a "lot lizard" but online.
"what do you think of my zelda cosplay? tehee, don't click the link in my bio" - said the forum lizard wearing a Link costume.
A tension breaker towards some angry person. If the angry person couldn't answer this, confused or gets annoyed, you win :). quoted by danjackknife
Person A, "You f**ker!"
Person B, "Are you a forum?"
Person A, "WTF?", continues to be mad
Person B laughs inside
Akin to forum trolling, forum spearing is directed towards a single member of a forum, just as spearing fish targets a single fish. Also simply called "spearing", it usually occurs when a forum member is found to be easily offended, or lacks a sense of humor.
"This forum user is taking every post way too seriously, and the other members have started spearing him relentlessly."
"I love when people take me seriously on this forum. They become prime candidates for forum spearing."
What's was intended as a benign project to provide vulnerable LGBT teens a safe space, the now-defunct online network was tainted by its tendency to attract malicious and racist youth; who championed the all-too-well-known "gay drama" that everyone hates.
Short of anything deemed friendly, the place permitted shit-slinging topics, as "Spill your TRUE guts about members" and its annual "voters' choice awards"; where members vote for categories as "most likely to be lonely", "best idiot" and "best drama queen".
If you A) took a particular joke too seriously, B) condescended on the actions of rude members (who were its 'popular' members), and/or C) were unattractive, non-White and at the older end of the board's age-bracket, you were a "pedo".
Overall, it was something of a bully's playground.
Fortunately, GTF's hostility wouldn't go without catching up to itself. One day, one of its own odiously loudmouth members went too far by having the nerve to out a closeted newcomer to his homophobic family. Having received a ban, he retaliated by falsely reported the network to its host server for 'permitting unlawful images of under18s'. Regretfully, the kind Admin who created this project had no willpower to go through 1.2M+ posts to prove the allegation's non-credibility by its ultimatum.
As of 2018, GTF was no longer. In the end, it became a victim of its own foul play. Let its folly be a lesson to all. Madam Karma has a song quote: "I say what goes around comes around again!"
Arj_Jee_to_the_Aytch: Well, hello, Stephen_Cee! Fancy bumping into you here... outside Gay Teen Forum. Small world! What brought you here?
Stephen_Cee: Meh. Same reason as you, likely. Need a new hang out. GTF saw its Ragnarok.
Arj_Jee_to_the_Aytch: Heh. Say Finally? I'm surprised it lasted THIS long.
Stephen_Cee: Yes, well. Something you should know. After the mods banned you for breaking all those rules that either weren't rules or you weren't actually guilty of breaking, (What the hell's "ID misbehavior", anywho?) the kids there loved throwing around "pedo" allegations like it was a sport. Apparently, one's a "pedo" if his hair was "suspiciously ugly"....
Arj_Jee_to_the_Aytch: Why doesn't this surprise me.... And, you know, it's funny you should mention toxic people. Remember Lieutenant_Krazy? For someone who complained so much about the place being this "toxic" playpen, he sure went out of his way to fervently represent the very worst of it. HE was in fact the slyly silent backbone in the loudmouth drama to get me banned. No one could've possibly thought he was involved; making him difficult to confront.
I won't even bother wondering what his role was in the board's demise.
Stephen_Cee: Well, you're in a better place here, babe. People're a whole lot nicer and more mature. Forget toxic people. Welcome to... whatever we might choose to call this hypothetical new LGBT place.=)
Arj_Jee_to_the_Aytch: lol Thanks, Steves! I always knew you had my back!
A forum zombie, sometimes known as a thread zombie, will torch through every post, whether relevant to the zombie or not, and use the information (no matter how outdated) to rule the zombie's every waking thought. While this condition is quite severe, there is treatment, but only if it is caught in the early stages. Warning signs of progression are as follow: Unresponsive gaze while or after reading the forum/thread, not eating/drinking/sleeping, re-responsive gaze and aggressively attempting to brainwash you into believing /b/ memes are funny and original or uses another highly unoriginal meme, lack of intelligent speech and writing/text structure, and finally, becoming a Scientologist or vegetable. Also, in rare cases, zombies can develop a condition known as Activision.
The only known treatment is to bludgeon the zombie with their own computer/PC and/or mobile device that they are using to read the forums/threads with until they snap out of it. Sadly all cases treated past the lack of basic necessities resulted in permanent brain damage.
At one point, Vin Diesel was believed to be a forum zombie, but it turned out he was just a zombie in general.
Person 1: I found out my friend was a forum zombie, so I had to beat some sense into him with his own PC.
Person 2: A thread zombie..................Illuminati Confirmed? *Hears X-files theme* Darude-Sandstorm?
Person 1: OH MY GOD YOU'RE INFECTED!*Person 1 pulls out Person 2's phone and beats the ever living shit out of them with it for using an overused meme*
