The Survival Guide To The Internets (work in progress)

This is a survival guide on how to survive on the internet.
by yours truly!
It is written based upon personal experiences and observations.
You'll learn everything from the types of people to avoid to every type of troll there is.

Now let us get started shall we?

Yes you may know me as a robotech fan and author of atlantech, but that wasn't all I used to be known for. I had a very let's say "trollish" reputation in the past and wasted my time harassing others for shits and giggles, but not just anyone of course. I'd only harass those who came off as arrogant or overly offended and sensitive. Of course I did dirty work for others too, but that's another chapter to discuss.

Anyways, everyone's first day on the internet is always an exciting experience right? Hell yes, you have access to all this cool shit, how could it not be exciting? Well you connect to the internets without expecting all the shocking surprises that comes along with it. Such as, offensive images or "shock images", porn, horrifying fetishes and subcultures and of course trolls. Of course it's easy to assume that trolls are just rude people on the internet, and that's just not true. In fact there is a big difference and trust me I know this. Let's say you go into your first chat and of course your first instinct is to say "hi everyone" or "hey guys" just to establish yourself as being a friendly person looking to make conversation. Nothing wrong with that, but what happens if someone else doesn't like you, just because of your friendly attitude?

It happens, and a lot of the time, despite how nice you try to be, there will always be someone in the same chat room that won't like you and will give you such a reply as "fuck off" or "fuck you faggot". Your reaction to this is simply "WTF, I was being nice?" So then what do you feel like doing next? You feel like saying "fuck you too" right? of course, that's how it always is. "You're a dick to me, so I'll be a dick to you". But that's not how it is with everyone, because some of the other responses could be: Wow how rude, what's your problem? Why are you being mean to me? Now, what should you say? "okay" and that's it
why just "okay?" because it's a response that induces no reaction whatsoever and will show that you don't give a shit, which believe me is what you want to do.

This guide is after all, how not to take the internets srsly i came

Now the wrong thing to say? "why are you being mean to me" Why is this wrong to say? Well shit dunk yourself in fish blood and jump in the ocean with the sharks, what's gonna happen?
They're gonna attack you DUH! The Survival Guide To The Internets (work in progress) 146719

The Survival Guide To The Internets (work in progress) 146719

A reply like that is just going to show you're a sensitive moron and easy prey, and it only gets worse if said internet bully has a friend(s). So just say okay and either leave the chat or wait till there's at least some topic of conversation you're familiar with and can easily join in.

As an long time interneter, I have seen some pretty pathetic shit, and I will gladly talk about it. I have seen people come in chats, crying about being dumped by their girlfriend/boyfriend and talk about committing suicide. I have witnessed people getting made fun of because of their profile picture "especially if it's them and they arent very pretty"
Hell I've even seen these same people come back later and bitch about how the bullies caused them to cut theirselves face palm

How the hell can you survive on the internet if you let that shit get to you? raptor jesus

Better yet, how are these people even making it in the real world? It amazes me, it really does.

Do I feel sympathy for these people? No, because they let it get to them and therefore it's their own damn fault. Does that make me an asshole? To some it might, but let's be honest here, why bother caring for someone who doesn't even have enough self respect for themselves? I mean taking razor blades or whatever and tearing up their skin, I have no respect for people who do that, none at all. Those are the usual victims chat bullies take pride in picking on, because in all honesty, they're just attention whores, and that's the next subject.

Attention Whores

The one thing you never want to be is an attention whore!
Why? Because attention whores are pretty much the scape goats
of the internets. They're the ones who crave attention so badly they
come in random chats seeking it. They go to insane lengths too just to
show how bad they want your attention. If it's a girl she will most likely
have a picture in her profile that isn't her, or if it is, showing cleavage or in
most cases "nude". Guys can be just as bad but girls tend to be the worst
because they're more emotional and more notorious for being attention whores.

How to identify an attention whore

Attention whores are serious business, and it's really easy to spot one
The easiest way? Well their screen names for one are usually a dead give away. Anything with baby, babi, gurl, grl, honey, hunni, and loads of other annoying shitty raeped words you can think of.

How they work? They come in the chat room and usually the first thing they say is "hey any guys wanna chat with a hot gurl? double face palm

They hate it when there's a conversation going on that doesn't involve them, so they feel the need to interrupt it with "I have pics" Usually the smart chatters know how to avoid these morons, but there will always be some one who jumps up at the mention of "pics" These people are usually horny 12 year old boys or pedophiles lol but either way they will cater to the attention whores needs.

But wait! There are different types of attention whores!

let's list them!

Slutty Attention Whore - Comes in chats looking for cyber sex

Emo Attention Whore - Comes in chats crying and threatening to kill or cut themself

Annoying Attention Whore - Interrupts others to talk about themselves and gets pissed when no one gives a shit.

The Negative Attention Whore - An attention whore which seeks (you guessed it) negative attention. Can also be classified as a troll.

And last but not least..
The Royal Attention Whore - Usually an attention whore with an online boyfriend who will threaten to hack your shit if you call his girlfriend out on her bullshit i ultra came

No matter what category they come from, they're all the same and all after the same thing. Attention
So, the best solution? Don't give them what they crave, ignore them and they will go away. Or if you were lucky enough to own a chat room like me, ban their asses. And if they come back on a different name to bitch? Ban them again, and again, and again and again till they run out of fucking screen names hurr

Chat Room Trolls

So you want to survive on the internets right? Well you've got to know
your trolls and learn about their motives. Also, you need to know
what to do to avoid them as well.

chat rooms are nice ways of talking to people, but any chat can be ruined
by the presence of a troll.

Trolls in chats are really no different than forum trolls (which I'll cover later)
only they are limited in what they can do to try and offend you, so for now it's just text. Trolls are after one thing and one thing only (no not sex you moron) Trolls are after reactions. Why? Because it's hilarious to them when they offend someone.
They are usually hard to identify by username because it could be any type of username, so what you really have to look for is how they act towards you and others. Remember they aren't there to make friends, they are there to piss you and the others off all for the lulz (laughs)

Trolls are usually people who are so bored, that they must create their own entertainment, so they come in chat rooms or (forums) to start shit for their own amusement.
They usually go about this by lurking first until they find some ammo they can use. This usually involves topics such as music genres, favorite movies, favorite shows, actors/actresses just about anything you could think of.

However, a trolls favorite ammo is actually those involving the personal lives of others. Let's say there's a conversation going on about a girl who mentions shes depressed or in a bad relationship. The troll will jump right on this shit and use it against that person, mainly because its ammo that can definitely get a reaction out of the victim.

Sensitive or (emo) people are a trolls favorite type of victim, because as its said they produce the most lulz. And sometimes the trolling can go too far which causes those victims to overreact and do worse shit, thus feeding the trolls more.
Trolls love it when their victims become depressed, suicidal, or cause self harm due to the harassment and it only makes the situaton worse.

But in all respect, people shouldn't be talking about personal issues in a public room with strangers to begin with, and this is a mistake a lot of people make.

Now the types of chat room trolls

Typical Troll also known as "Obvious Troll" - The troll who takes jabs at anyone based on their interests, also waits for personal ammo

examples: That band sucks, that movie is stupid, knitting is for queers

The Asshole Troll - Acts like a complete asshole to everyone in the room, not to be confused with chat room bullies, its behavior also falls under the category of "obvious trolling"
example: I fucked your mom and she gave me AIDS

The Religious Troll - A troll who pretends to be a specific religion only to stir up religious drama in a chat.
an example of this would be "Jesus touched me on my privates"

The Retarded Troll - Usually boring trolls, but they liked to pretend they are retarded and tyype liek dis Laughing

Can also fall under the category of "obvious troll, or just a lazy person who refuses to type normal"
example: hai ervy onez lolz srry dis iz how i spel

The Shock Site/Shock Image Troll - Trolls who post links to disgusting sites or images in attempt to get a reaction from the others who are curious enough to look.

The Royal Troll or Persistent Troll - A troll who doesn't stop after the first reaction of harrassing a victim. Usually goes to great lengths to try and hurt the feelings of said victim. Usually done by finding out info about them such as snooping in their profile and finding their picture, then using that and any thing else they can find about you as ammo. Some even go further to creating fake sites or cloning their victims screen name and posing as them.

How to avoid these trolls? Ignore them, don't talk about personal shit and don't give them any ammo to use against you. Trolls will use anything and everything just to try and get a reaction from you, that's why they're here and not under the bridge where they belong.

Hackers

If there is one type of person you want to avoid, its hackers
and why? Because hackers can fuck up your shit, that's why.
But not all of them are deadly, in fact there are a lot of fakers
who will threaten you, just to try and establish their dominance
But how do you know if they're fakers or not?

Well chances are they are fakers if they're a little kid (check the profile for the picture lol)
spamming the chat with bots (hackers don't waste their time with this shit)
or bragging (real hackers don't brag)

The only way you know if the threats are real is your screen name suddenly signs off and they come online with it. Or you try to log in to your email account and you can't because they changed the password on you.

I've had screen names stolen, black listed by AOL and an email account taken. But does that mean they are hackers? no
It means they used some scam to get AOL to black list me and also used a password cracker to get the passwords.

Password crackers are very common and anyone with a knowledge of simple programming can make one. Such programs are usually hosted on sites with other illegal programs and many of them are rigged with viruses so it would be wise not to download them. You can only trust the program if you can trust the programmer, and this would mean if you become friends of course, like me. I used to know several programmers back in the day.

Normally the term "programmers" is often confused with "hackers" They are not the same thing, though some hackers do have knowledge of programming doesn't necessarily mean they would hang out in chat rooms just to steal peoples info.
And just because you get a virus from opening a file the faker sent you does not mean you were hacked, it means you were fucking stupid. I have tricked others into opening viruses, and of course their first reaction was I haxxed them. I did not, they were just retarded enough to open the file in the first place.
The solution? Don't trust links or files from people you don't know, it's really easy to avoid really.

Hackers are people you want to avoid, but remember, they don't hang out in chat rooms The Survival Guide To The Internets (work in progress) 972213

Chat Room Spammers

No they aren't trolls, or hackers either, they are bots
who spam links or error codes.

There are different types of bots as well

Porn Bot - Bot that comes in chats spamming links to porn sites, highly annoying, best iggied (ignored)

Advert Bot - Like the porn bot only it usually spams links to other sites
usually those rigged with malware.

Lag Bots - Bots created for the sole purpose of lagging the other users out of the chat room, by scrolling a series of lag and error codes.
These bots can be ignored but you have to be quick, they usually come in great numbers and depending on the chat service and limit to how many can be a in a chat, its hard to ignore or ban them all.

The reason for these bots? Usually created and managed by someone looking to take over a chat room, pure and simple. By taking out the other users he or she is able to fill the room with their bots so no one can get back in.
Depending on which room they try to take over, there's always a chance someone who currently owned that room will take action and either get their bots black listed or suspended.

The passwords for these bots is usually hard to crack if they were smart enough to use html coding for it. A lot of those who are smart about what they do refrain from using normal passwords that are easy to get via using the password crackers. Those programs are made so that they go through a series of possible words the person would of used.
If the botter is smart they will not use the same password for all the bots, they will have different ones for each bot to make cracking them even more of a challenge for the haxxer.

If they used html coding for the passwords, chances are they will never be cracked because password crackers don't work like that. So if you ever wanted to get into the bot business, use coding for the passwords.

Now that's how to avoid having them cracked, but what happens if they are reported to AOL or Yahoo? Then you're fucked, because AOL will black list them as will Yahoo.

quick lesson on black listing

It means that every single screen name you registered using your I.P address will be suspended, unless you're smart and used a proxy to register the screen names for your bots. (more about proxies later)
But during this black listing process, it not only gets all your bots, but every single screen name, even the one you may have created to lurk in chats with.
How to get your screen names back? There is a scam but it requires you to call AOL and give them phony information. This only works if the person you talk to is a complete idiot, but never fear the people of AOL are complete morons which is why a lot of people I've known have been able to get the screen names they've always wanted, especially the valuable 3 chars
example "XS3" a screen name like that makes you a god in the eyes of others happier

Shit if you have a screen name like that, you're a god damn hacker! No, not really but most idiots would assume that.

Another popular type of screen name is a word screen name like "modest" not as elite as the 3chars but still fucking elite enough to get you in the cool kids club. I had a few of those in the day, but only because they were given to me by buddies and one of them I made using a dictionary. But almost every word you could think of was taken, I just got lucky.

Chances are you won't be elite unless you've got an elite screen name, how to get one? kiss ass and join in the cool kids club, that's all you've got to do.
I didn't kiss ass, I was just accepted for being "cool" lol yeah what a load of shit but you get the picture.

Hell if you want instant elitism? Get yourself a fucking dictionary and pick a word for your first screen name, good luck on finding one that aint taken though tehe

And if you want bots, then stay tuned for the next lesson

"How to make and use bots"

How To Make Bots ( And Use Them)

So you might be srs about getting into the chat shit right? Bots, owning all that
hoopla.
Well, there are basic things you need to know, and I'm going to tell you what I've done and what I personally know.

Bots are as easy as making a new screen name (what I've told those who asked) Of course those people were too stupid to figure out that's what it meant. In order to make a bot you have to register a new screen name.
However, if you're serious about wanting spam chats and shit, you'll need more than one. So what do you do? Make a bullshit email account, usually one on yahoo. You don't have to put in your real info, just make up shit, because you're not going to access this email, just going to use it for bots.

Depending on which chat service you want to bot, you may have to activate the screen name registration via link sent to that email. When making the bots you have to use that fake email you created, and I also recommend making the password something simple you can remember, but also hard to crack via crackers. I know I mentioned making them html coding, but you cant do this until you get the program you will be using.

So register as many bots as you can under that one email, depending on how many you want and the emails limit, you may have to make yet another bullshit email account until you get enough. Some people make as many as 40 to 100 bots (yes no lifers) But they are im so serious

about the internet and want to pwn chat rooms with their elite shit, so be it.

What to call your bots? Well, that's the fun part really.. I suggest being creative with your bot names, and pray that the name you have in mind isn't already taken or else you will raeg

Some people prefer something similar to their handles, yes handle screen name aka a name they are recognized for. Most handles are variations of different words or spelled in a manner that makes you come off as an elite haxxer. I once had "BARC0DES" and that was my handle name for a while. There are others such as "3lit3" (elite obviously) or VlRUS "lower case L for the I".

Other words, you can be creative, but a lot of the times you don't want your bots associated with your handle if you want to remain "anonymous" Let's say you come into a chat and want to be an asshole in secret? your bots would be named something else, so that no one suspects it is you.
You can also either number them or make each one a different name.
I've seen some like "godbot1, godbot2, godbot3, and so on"
Only the owner of the bots was pretty damn obvious as he had "god" in his handle.

The chat room owner will know right away its you and ban you and your bots, so its more fun to leave them playing the guessing game. What makes it even more hard to determine is if you play along and while spamming or lagging you say "what the fuck is going on here, whos doing that?" They wont suspect you, why? Because you come off as being just another normal guy or gal in the chat. Wink

In my days of random botting, it was kind of fun, especially knocking out all the annoying people such as trolls and attention whores. Those are the ones who got pissed off the most, and would always try to come back just to bitch about it. Yeah, trolls bitching, imagine that?

The best program to use for botting is called "Tame Clone" and over the years AOL has gotten smart and tried to find ways to block it, however the programmers only got smarter and found ways to bypass their bullshit.
So if you want a good program, then get tame clone, and the latest edition (not sure what it is now lol)
The program can be found via google, so just search for it that way
and once you get it, you have to input the names and passwords for your bots, after you have done all that it gives you the option to save it as a sign on list that way when you load it up, it signs them all on automatically.

face palm

I can't believe I remember all this shit

Anyways, moving on...

Once you get your bots signed on you will have to select which chat to bomb, so pay attention to the names of the chats you are in before invading Neutral

Also some sites will provide the lag/error codes you can use just watch out for viruses and all that shit. and make sure you test the lag before bombing a chat. How to do this? make a bullshit chat, enter it, bring in your bots and let the spamming begin. If you manage to lag yourself out, then you're good to go, if you're scrolling and you find you're still there, then the code you're using obviously sucks, so find another.

Chances are if you're good at scrolling people out of chats, then someone will take notice and ask you to help them.

(that's another topic)

Making Friends and Fiends

So you want to start botting, but maybe you also want to start making yourself known around the internets?

As I've said before, if you're good at lagging the shit out of chat rooms, someone is going to notice and ask you to help them. Usually that's the start of a beautiful e-friendship but comes with a price. Soon you'll start hanging in the chat you helped them get only to find that their enemies are also your enemies. Enemies on the internet? Surely you jest! The Survival Guide To The Internets (work in progress) 899938

The Survival Guide To The Internets (work in progress) 899938

No but srsly if a certain chat owner has enemies then by association , they are yours too. The chat scene is serious fucking business, and all those elite mofos with handles are either buddy buddy or at each others e-throats. Their usual goals? To steal the chats of their enemies, and hell they even start rumors. As pathetic as it sounds, if they don't like you they will start saying shit in other rooms, and pretty soon it all comes back to you and you're like wth

It's high school all over again because idiots will believe what they say to be true. Like for example, they'll say you're a pedophile or gay, and if you're female they will claim you are a fat bitch and lie about you, saying they saw your nudes.

The best thing to deal with this? Is not to make your gender obvious at all, if they can't figure out what the fuck you are, it makes it more fun to play mind games with them. Even if they do find out, they still won't know anything about you, therefore will resort to troll like behavior in attempt to find your weakness.
However, it is well known that the females in the chat scenes are usually attention whores (royal ones at that) who have taken nudes of themselves to get "respect". Stupid as they are, they give those pictures to these guys and then wonder why they are used as black mail later on? face palm

Don't take nudes, and don't do or say anything that could be used as black mail.

They are also notorious for being huge flirts, and will have cyber sex or even "phone sex" yes that's right. I've witnessed plenty of this in my day. It's best not to associate with them, but you can get along just don't try to make friends with them, because they are annoying drama whores who will cry raep if you offend them. If they are hated by others, just let those people come in and do all the harassing, you can sit back and enjoy the lulz.

What happens if your buddy has one of these cunts for a girlfriend? Ah then you just ignore her, because there's a big fat chance it wont last Laughing

online relationships such as that never do.... I don't even know why some even waste their time making special screen names to show how much in e-love they are i came

It's always hilarious when they have to stop using that screen name because they were e-dumped. Happens all the time and they do the same shit when they have cyber sex with yet another e-lover.

Ah, the internets really is serious business (cyber sex will be covered later)

Owning a Chat Room

So you want to start owning a chat of your own right? I mean, your buddies do it so why not hop on that train too?
Well, for starters, you'll need to find one you can own, that's also active.
For the most part all the good chats will be taken and owned by those with elite handles. such as chats 1-10, Hi, Hello, Chat, Sex, and many more! Well if you are srs about wanting a chat your best bet is to steal one from one of your enemies. If you're still elite at lagging, then you should have no problem popping in their chat, sending all those users to e-hell. You can even get your buddies to help you in doing this, and if you've helped them a lot, chances are they will help you too.

But before you can load up your bot army and bomb it, you'll need to get the right program to own the chat. The one I used and are still familiar with is UCCOM. For the most part you can google it just like tame clone and find the latest version. AOL also tried to block this one too, so it had to be bypassed as well. The program is very easy to use, it's got a simple interface and a load of commands that are fairly quick to familiarize yourself with.

what's popular about this program is the fact you can customize those commands. such as change "ban" to "fuck or kill", "kick" to "stab or die" and so on. The program makes banning and kicking so simple that you can actually add a list of words, so that people with screen names containing those words, cannot come in. This comes in very useful against botters, but only if every single bot they own has the same damn name. A lot the times they do not and it makes it easy to get your ass pwnt.

Now with UCCOM, after you've lagged every single user out of the chat room you want, you've got to bring in the screen name the program is logged in as. It has to be the first in the room in order to own it, or else you will have to keep lagging till there's a connection time out for Tame Clone and you and the others are fucked because no one can enter that chat. So as soon as you bomb it and everyones gone, leave it, and enter on UCCOM. It's that fucking simple Wink

All your commands should be set and ready to go at that point, and all you have to do is sit back and ban the shit out of people for fun.

I'd only ban the annoying people, and let the decent ones stay. Of course it's not hard to fucking figure out who is annoying and who is "okay".
Also on UCCOM, there is an option which allows you to put a list of users who are the only ones allowed in the chat. This is very useful if you just want to own one for the sake of talking to your friends. This is what I'd do whenever I got bored of banning and kicking. Or if you feel like being an asshole, set the command to "auto ban all" and watch the shit hit the fan

The auto command is mostly useful for getting rid of someone you've pissed off who is hell bent on botting your chat. This will get all their bots and them as well.

Chat owning sounds easy doesn't it? Well, there's always the downside
especially if you've taken the chat from someone who is determined to get it back. They will pull all sorts of shit and if you're not on privacy, they will bother the shit out of you. If you pissed off someone who knows "others" they can also do shit to you as well. such as having you blacklisted, this would cause you to lose your chat and all your screen names leaving you pretty much fucked eh? Yep, so watch yourself when stealing a chat, because the shit can and will hit the fan shit storm

I've never really stolen a chat from anyone, most of the time they were given to me and I'd take it from there. I have helped others get chats though and was granted op commands, where I'd have permission to kick and ban.
Which reminds me UCCOM also gives you the option to give mod powers to certain people in your room. Only give it to those you're friends with, and ignore the annoying pissants who bitch and whine wanting ops. Keep in mind that as long as you own the chat room, people will kiss your ass for ops and want to be in your "in" crowd. It's pathetic to watch, but lulzy as hell.

Next up (chat drama!)

getting carpal tunnel yet?

nope, I'm a pro

Chat Room Drama

So by now you've achieved leet-ness with your ass kicking handle and bot haxxing skills. you've made lots of friends and foes and you find enjoyment in both their company. But the question is.... for how long? Soon you start getting to know your friends better than you know your own damn family, and then you start noticing they generate a lot of emotional shit.

Maybe they turn out to be really emo, or just an annoying pain in the ass, but either way it's going to be fun learning about their personal issues, or even better they learn about YOURS. So you feel you can trust them right? Right, until the time comes where maybe an enemy of yours starts becoming buddy buddy with one of your friends but still has it in for you?

Well that's when the shit really hits the fan because soon this so called friend you "trusted" is telling your enemies your personal shit and thus those enemies begin using that against you in attempt to drive you away. It's worked on others, or so they claim, but will it work on you?

It depends on what you spew, sometimes it can be TOO personal, and that's what you want to avoid. Soon you find out your friends aren't really your friends if they are willing to back stab you, so what happens then? You get into raeg

mode and start removing their mod powers and banhammering them. I mean what else can you do? YELL IN CAPS AND UNLEASH THE FUCKING FURY? You could but what's the point? Just ban the assholes and continue on with your friends that are still left.

Not all of them will pull that shit, but still your best bet is to shut the fuck up about anything personal in your life. Now back to the lulz
Oh yes, beware of your ex friends/enemies they know a lot about you now and have decided to resort to trolling tactics in order to try and get to you. The shit they will pull is making fake websites, usually myspace or facebook accounts. Mocking you of course, they will join any forum or online community where the rest of your haters hang at, and they will talk endless shit , using you as the butt of the joke for EVERYTHING

Even to show what annoying fuckwits they really are, they will even try to spam your chat with their bots (if they got them) saying shit about you. I've seen this happen to almost everyone, including myself.

Now how's that for drama? Still enjoying the internets or have you had enough?

Next up....Shock Sites and memes!

Shock Sites & Memes

In every internets, there will come a time when an innocent guy or gal has a little too much on the tubes, and will soon find that the internet isn't all rainbows and sunshine. You will fall victim to one of the most disgusting things you have ever witnessed. Something you didn't know even existed until your curiosity got the best of you. These would be shock sites or shock images.

Their only purpose? To offend and disgust the shit out of you of course. Trolls love linking to shock sites, because it generates what, boys and girls? A REACTION! Trolls love it when you react to their behavior so tricking victims into viewing shock sites or images is sure to bring them lots of lulz, and maybe send you straight to the bathroom.

Every disgusting thing you could ever think of exists as a shock image, graphic deaths, disturbing fetishes and many more! Some of the most well known shock sites and images on the internets are: Goatse, Tubgirl, Lemon Party, Lotus Breast, Pain Series, & MeatSpin Of course there are also others but these are some of the most well known.

But for your own well being, never look those up unless you are willing to surrender all that is holy in your life. Some may cause you so much mental damage, you may never be the same again. I myself have tricked people into viewing some of those sites, especially in chats. It was always lulzy to send people to one of those sites when they asked you a simple question like "Where do you go to get bots?" I'd reply with "go to this site to make your bots", and I'd disguise the link as one of those sites Laughing

You can imagine the reactions I got after they looked. Sometimes I got AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! or OMG WTF GROSSSS, or even FUCK YOU!

hank hill

yep *sips beer*

Fun times they were, and YOU too can have the same fun

Now let's go on to memes!
Memes are part of the internet culture, usually an image or quote that becomes a frequent use in the everyday life of e-folks. Most if not all memes are born on the site known as 4chan. But if you value your life you will not set foot into that territory. If shock sites and images offend you, prepare for something far worse.

This is how a meme is born, let's say someone gets a picture of an owl off google, and for lulz they add the caption "O Rly?" Once they post it, everyone else starts using it too, and pretty soon it begins to spread from one community to another until the entire internets knows of its existence and so on. Then before you know it, you're saying orly yourself see? It's like a fucking cancer! baww

Anyway...a lot of memes are generated by the media, such as movies and television. Some of the most popular ones being from pulp fiction, 300, Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, and too fucking many to list.
You'll get more exposure to internet memes on forums than anywhere else, but they do somehow make it into chat rooms too. $I\'m happy$
Are memes harmless? It depends, but they are contagious as hell and before you know it, you'll be contaminated too! derp

Memes can be broken down into different categories

Classic - Memes that are old school but still popular
Solid - Memes that are popular
Fleeting- Memes that are still well known but not as popular
Failed - Memes that were aborted
Forced - Memes that are forced to become popular, which aren't lulzy enough at all

Some examples of memes: Mudkips, Barrel Roll, Happy Cat, Long Cat is Long, TL;DR, ORLY, LolCats, RickRoll, Sparta, Over 9,000, Baww, I'm in ur X killing ur Y, How do I shot Web?, X is not your personal army, Duckroll, Goofy Time, Derp, OM NOM NOM, BILLY MAYS, Awesome face, Ceiling Cat, Pools Closed
and too god damn many to list!
