Famous Forum Funnybones...

OK, it's drivin me nuts...I'm trying to remember the trolls name who would just post non sequitur audio jabber in response to every post.  And that got me to trying to remember famous wiseacres from times gone by.  Who wants to start?



PS: I don't count.


PPS: I think he was trying to pass himself off as Asian.

Good one...but not my guy.  I was always sorta fond of ol DKFH.

Maurice?...

Jonbouy
I can't remember his nick but some of his responses were quite witty, sometimes it would just be a picture without a caption but it would say it all. 

Jinga8?

Remember that guy who went by bapu?

What a joker.

Beagle


Nick P?

Good one!
 
There was that fascist pastor too who was going to get damnation to rain on us for liking Sonar.
 
Oh my...
 
I think it might have worked...
 
There sure is a bunch of potential prize-winners in this category.

Maybe you're thinking of reader1? His forte was writing sentences no one could decipher. But I gave him the benefit of doubt and assumed he was not a native English speaker.

Or maybe Resonant Serpent? He gave us this memorable line, which made its way into at least one forum regular's sig:

...this may be the point where the ancient guitar-slinging primates get off the boat, and they'll be replaced by a new generation of users.

How about Crush? He'd duplicate each DAW complaint on the Presonus and Reaper forums, just changing the name of the DAW.



As you know, I collect these gems as a hobby (cheaper than snowglobes) and I've got a zillion of 'em. 

Some are wonderfully profound: 
"Our tools don't adapt to our demands.  I've been having this argument with my guitar for about fifty years." (Clint Swank). 

Or maybe "Can you drag and drop your unending sadness into a project and then delete it?" (although the OP has already exempted himself from quotation).

But the three individuals listed at the top are the repeat offenders. At least, I assume they're three different people.

But my collection is not complete. I do not save the merely rude posts, so no Sherriff or DKFH. I also don't save any that were meant to be serious but only revealed a profound ignorance of the subject, so no {redacted} or {redacted}. Only when they cross over into blatantly rude arrogance do they make my collection, e.g. "I'm not interested in joining a scientific debate of the ins and outs of digital audio.  ...Ultimately, facts don't matter." Those are words to live by.

but with those moobs he sure brings teh sexay... ammirite?

...

guys?

"Can you drag and drop your unending sadness into a project and then delete it?"

 
This one has to be our very own resident Mr. T.
 
If it isn't then it should be.

Pistol Pete?
 
He's contributed some great whimsical prose full of empathic sensitivity.

Ding...ding...ding...we have a winner!!!!

Reader1.

Thanks Bit, ol pal.

But I'm sure there are so many more...like the 20 to 40 guy...Shane???

in digital it's more like a cliff

So what actually happens if we go over this digital cliff?  I’d really like to see some sort of compromise reached.

Jessie Sammler

I always found those threads bordering on the bizarre and I honestly thought at the time there were some forum members who thought he was actually the character he was pretending to be.

Dave susses out the Bapu.

With his laugh-a-minute side-splitting slapstick hilarity, the bloke who always makes me laugh like a drain is Daveny5.
