Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.
  • The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Troll (Internet)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
"Do not feed the trolls" and its abbreviation "DNFTT" redirect here. For the Wikimedia essay, see "What is a troll?".

The "trollface" sometimes used to indicate trolling.[1]In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory[citation needed], extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[3] The noun troll may refer to the provocative message itself, as in: "That was an excellent troll you posted". While the word troll and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels subjective, with trolling describing intentionally provocative actions outside of an online context. For example, mass media uses troll to describe "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families."

Somehow, I don't think the trolls are going openly admit it on this thread. On the other hand it's worth a try...

If he is a 12th level Troll Magic user it would explain his powers of invisibility. Either that or Gollum got his ring back. Watch out Frodo! :eek:

I don't know about you guys but I'm wondering why there haven't been any trolls replying to this thread. After all, the thread was for them. It doesn't make any sense....:confused:

Troll rule #1- Never respond in a thread about trolls.
Troll rule #2- Only troll in threads where you can piss everyone off and derail the legitimate discussion
