d_b

Can somebody inform me why d_b is the shortcut for duplicate posts?

A poster named deep_background tends to post really old news he finds on BLOGS!!! and post it as if it's brand-spanking new. Even David Aldridge mocks him.

So if someone posts a duplicate thread...d_b.

Now if we can just come up with a shorthand for someone who posts topics on the wrong board ...

Thanks.

My own question reminded me of one board for fans of the team I cover. They kept calling each other HF's. I thought they were referring to each other as Hall of Famers. Someone then posted a question like mine, asking what HF stood for.

Turns out it means "Humorless ****s."

Which would probably explain the "A comment on mother ship trolls" sticky thread over there. Dude who wrote that is a serious asshole.

Must be. It's been there a ywar and no one has responded...

Who the **** is Dunkelzahn?

Eh ... long story ...

Turns out proboards' moderator controls don't work well enough to set up somebody other than the board owner as a moderator. I probably need to send him back to his cave for about four years.
