End lag now!

Um...


Well, lag can be annoying, but it's a very minor nuisance in the grand scheme of things. A hardcore, passionate "movement" over such a tiny thing is a misuse of self-righteous energy.

If people truly want to get up in arms about something, then I think motivated campaigns like:

http://www.genocidewatch.org/

and

http://www.campaigntoendaids.org/site/c.fnJMKLNmFmG/b.910725/k.CBB8/Home.htm


...might be a bit more worthy of such powerful devotion.



I don't mean to lecture, of course: I spend an inordinate amount of my time with an online game, and spend time on top of that perusing websites about it. I'm not one to wag fingers. It's just that the phrasing on that website is so ... well, it's made to sound like they're fighting a threat to world decency.



Or is it simply a joke about skewed "geek priorities" that flew over my head? I'd buy that.

That's exactly what I just said. Listen to their tone. The program is secondary to the site, and (presumably) the "organization" itself.

They're taking it too seriously.
 
Hear YE! Hear YE!

The the apocalypse is nigh!

Lag has fortold the end of MMORPG gaming! Be warned, the lag it's but only a megabyte away! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

:D

Actually, I thought it was quite interesting, now let's see how it works... For example, has this program had any positive effects for you Chasym, have you tried it out at all?

ill ask you to please stop because your totally talking way off the topic of what the thread was for.
you wanna fight aids start your own thread.

I was just saying that this kind of self-important, "spread awareness" language would be more appropriate for a real cause. There's no derailing here. I'm saying that the attitude of those that run the site you linked to is humorous. The other links I provided are just examples of what this silly little organization is trying to pretend it is.



The self-praising for having the "guts" to "speak up" about something, or the insistence that everyone "spread awareness" is more suited towards threats like fatal diseases, atrocities committed, abusive business practices, toxins in the water supply ... whatever.

To apply this kind of militant, righteous tone to something like this is just ... well, funny or sad. I don't know which. It's not just a "helpful site." I like "helpful sites." I appreciate the people who put time into them. This one, however ... well, they genuinely seem to be portraying this issue as if it were a major threat.


Did you really read what they were saying? The Take Action! link alone is all the example one needs of how ridiculous the overall tone of their language is. Sure, the program might be helpful. They're just wrapping it in wording that suggests its something along the lines of a solution to world hunger.

You honestly didn't find the way they were talking about themselves at all funny? I wasn't even sure if the site was a hoax or not, until I looked into the forums.


Whatever. If you honestly can't see how ridiculous their tone is (the only thing I was trying to point out), I won't press the issue. Enjoy your "fight" against lag.
 
hey its a gamer site about lag, the only person i see taking it so seriously is you.
Its very funny how they talk about it and very funny how u take it so seriously.
Lag is something that needs worked on and needs to have a solution to.
So is aids.
Two different subjects that do not belong in the same thread.
 
I smell a train wreck... Possibly the worst of mankind.
 
It's just a website...

Um... I don't think they're trying to be completely serious. It's just a joke. A little site to have fun with. They aren't doing TV commercials and telemarketing to ask for your money. This is just for fun. There's no reason to get up in arms about something that is just meant for you to go look at and have fun with. If the "language" they are using offends you, don't look at it. There's no reason to get bent out of shape about something that doesn't affect you or the charities you talk about in ANY way. They are not asking for money or your precious time. They are just asking you to look at it, not sift inbetween the lines to find out their evil hidden message.
 
Stick to the subject of the program that Chasym posted or risk having your posts deleted.

AIDS is bad

NO more AIDs posts please, stick to the original post from Chasym about this lag program
 
^ Shut up. Seriously, shut up. This whole topic sucks. As far as I'm concerned, there's no topic to stick to.
 
Ok then, if thats the case, I can lock it.

Any problems Chasym about my decision feel free to pm Jague.
