Fill out this survey to find out which Buffy character you are!!

[Matt]

Buffy had a 'Gullible Survey Filler' character, right?

Really though, we have an important survey we would greatly appreciate if you would fill out. It'll only take a minute. To bring more attention to the link, here's some smilies along with it!

I think the last question has too short of a time period. You should make it "What do you plan on buying in the rest of your life."

[Benjaman]

I love surveys.

[Caroline]

surveys are fun buffy is not

[SomethingWitty]

Are there a lot of explosmers in Germany?

[Matt]

We've got fans all around the world. There's a ton in South Africa.

[RessXalcor]

Well Awesome, I just love filling surveys. Even when I'm at home about to leave for a movie only to be stopped by an mantic asshole wanting a survey, I still fill it out. I wonder how many explosmers are in germany? Heck how many are there in Puerto Rico(no man's land)?

[SomethingWitty]

Why does Germany get its own place in the location question then? Why not South Africa?

[Matt]

It's a popular internet-using country.

[Hunnter]

Filled 'er out.

Only section i never filled out at all was the buying books online.
I do buy books from shops however, but never really searched around for books online (or DVDs/CDs at that)

I wonder what this will be for... casual research? Future plans?! Some weird fetish?!?

[Matt]

I buy a lot of music and DVDs online, books not so much, but sometimes I have to. If it's not mainstream and Borders won't have it, I shoot over to Amazon.

The survey is actually to help us sell advertising space. Less home owner's insurance, more video games.

[pavel_lishin]

Tyrannosaurus Rex
ROAR! You're 54% Dinotastic!!

ROAR!!! You are T-Rex, the tyrannt lizard king! You Chomp, Bite, Stomp, and Eat. You're a one dino killing machine. You're the most famous dinosaur of them all. You're the star. But you are probably too hungry to care. Eat more herbivores and stomp everything!

I didn't get a result either. I was completely let down by you, again. :frown: Heh, I'm joking. What do you need it for anyway?

[DarkAshelin]

The link doesn't work for me...

[Mr Anorexia]

It doesn't give me an answer just Survey Completed. Thank you for participating! :(

[CharlieH]

Well, at least it didn't start asking me about my sexual history.

That would have been strange.

[Tweek]

Don't worry, I'm sure there would have been a Hopeless Virgin answer.

Yeah, i didn't get a result either =/
Still, glad i could help ;) Btw, i like todays comic... but... I WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THEMMM (i know that's the point, but still.. T_T )

[Rob]

More surveys for more advertising! Yaaay!

Actually more surveys for less advertising.

[I_Smell]

Less advertising for more money?

I don't know who BlindFerret are, but they've got some shit about webcomics on XBox.

[tongueringchickyy]

I can't do the survey??? it redirects me to an error 404 page... i want to fill out the survey :(

[Luckevolvd]

Odd, for some reason I can't get the survey to load. I thought maybe the link was dead, but no one else seems to have the same problem...

[Jesuz]

The link doesn't work for me either.

[CharlieH]

Blind Ferret make CtrlAltDel: The Animated Series. CtrlAltdel also had excatly the same survey.

Wait, GameBoy Advance? Shouldn't that be a DS?

[Greger]

lol butts.

Where's my answer? :(
I want answers, give me my goddamn answers!
Weird that sweden isnt in the list, I mean our whole country is made of internets!!111

[Meraku]

It's unfair not to put Brazil in the survey. I'm sure that there're thousands of fans of explosm here.
For example, I and my friends visit the site every single day. And we love the comics.
I would like to see greater consideration on that.
Thanks.

[tunacake]

If I saw it in a bookstore or something I might buy it. Otherwise I can't see it happening.

[Matt]

"hahaha what a fag" is not a post. Had it been in a real section of the forum, you would have definitely been banned for it.

[tunacake]

I wouldn't have posted it in a real section of the forum.

[Matt]

It's not moderated here, but still not appreciated.

[tunacake]

It was just a joke, I didn't mean anything by it. I've got nothing at all against the book.

[Matt]

It has nothing to do with the book, you retard. You called the guy a fag and laughed at him. The comments in news are bad enough, but try to leave the homophobic insults out of it.

Whoa. Seriously?.... is one of the author/artists of one of the most callously offensive and politically incorrect webcomics of all time REALLY criticsizing someone for making a gay reference as a mocking insult?

Dude are you serious?

Your webcomic is hysterical, but that is by far the lamest and most hypocritical thing I have ever seen. Are you going to start sending hatemail to your own comic?

He called the guy a fag and laughed, obviously as a joke. You get all high and mighty like you are going to point out some flaw in his actions?

Get a life.

[Tweek]

Pretty edgy there, wanker.

Calm down dude. He just said that cause this isn't spame and he wanted to keep some civility in the news forum.

[I_Smell]

This thread fills me with shame =/

MATT: I just filled out the survey and I didn't get a result, just the "thank you" shit. I want a result.

P.S. How much is ad space here?

We try to keep a certain level of discourse on the forums. Spame and RDA are meant to be havens for posting whatever else you want, but the rest is held up to a very high standard. A post with no capitalization or punctuation and a pointless homophobic insult goes against that idea.

When we do "edgy humor" we do it in the context of a joke, not just blatant bashing. There is a difference.

And that wasn't in the context of a joke? He essentially said "Lolz fag!". It doesn't get to be more of a joke than that. "No capitalization or punctuation", you're a grammar nazi on top of it all? And high standard my ass, you got people saying they will shit on someone's chest, not exactly Emerson right there.

Damn, this gets sadder and sadder.

[Matt]

"hahaha what a fag" as a whole post on an internet forum and a catchphrase being used in a comic are entirely different. And yes, we are grammar nazis. It's right in the rules. We take pride in having our users speak with decent English skills. You should probably learn the difference between RDA and Spame and the rest of the forum.

[Gilligan]

ButtersNinja, quit being a faggot.

[Matt]

Hahaha, god dammit, Gilligan.

We take pride in having our users speak with decent English skills. You should probably learn the difference between RDA and Spame and the rest of the forum.

First of all it is entirely not different... oops no, you're right, his didn't have shitty stick figure drawings to go with it. That definitely gives you the "artistic" edge to do whatever you want and then turn around and act like a douche to people that read your comic... Or it's just not different. Or he was saying "haha what a fag" which is not a homophobic insult, it's a common slang term that is used in humor in hundreds of different ways. He didn't bash gays, he didn't threaten the kid because he really believed he had determined his sexual orientation. He said "hahaha what a fag". I would think that the "hahaha" would connotate it being a joke, but I guess that was a little hard for you to decipher.

Decent english skills is fine and if he had typed "haha wut a fag, im so l33t!" I'd be with you, but he didn't capitalize the first word and he didn't put a period... IT'S A GODDAMN EXPLOSM FORUM, not your english final. Capitalization and punctuation for 3-4 word joking post is a ridiculous concern of yours.

Each defense you give only serves to further make you look like a self-righteous ass who suddenly thinks he is something special. I should probably learn the "difference between RDA and Spame and the rest of the forum"? Um, no. Because I don't care. That's entirely no the point. The point is you are entirely lame, and entirely overreacted to some kid saying "haha what a fag" by tossing out all sorts of obviously impotent threats of banning and the like because... what it makes you feel like you actually do something respectable with your life?

Pathetic.

I would also just like to point out how pointless a comment that is. Do you try to keep a level of respectful discourse? Intelligent discourse? Eloquent discourse? You need a clarifier there genius, otherwise you essentially said "We try to keep a certain level of talking" or "a certain level of conversation". Which by the way, since you didn't actually depict what level that is, "hahaha what a fag" falls under that category.

Just wanted to mention that in the interest of mentioning how much of a douche you are.

Aw that's cute. Hey by the way I don't think they are going to like you anymore just because you publicly suck up to them by jumping on a bandwagon on an issue you weren't ever involved in.

I think with your head THAT far up his ass you are probably just annoying.

Did you read the rules and guidelines before you joined? Did you lerk for even twenty minutes before you made your profile? Because if you did, you'd see that everything is explained right there and in the TOs so commonly given by the mods on Explosm.net. (TO=time out, btw.) Also, if you think Matt is a douche, then you obviously are an idiot. If anyone is, it's Rob.

[Matt]

Are you still blabbering on about this?

We choose to run our forums a certain way. We TO people for using AOLims and bad sentence structure. The news forum isn't moderated heavily, but it should be. I'd like it to be brought up to the standards of the other moderated forums, but that won't happen when our members (ones like tunacake who know how the forum works) post in it as if it were Spame.

That's it.

So calm down and quit making a big deal out of nothing. Lurk a bit more and try and understand the forum. It's handled a bit differently than most other forums.

[Urser]

Now back on topic.

WHY WONT THIS FUCKING BUFFY SURVEY WORK FOR ME!? :mad:

[Hunnter]

I'm confused, why isn't the news category moderated like the others?

Is it to do with opinions and free speech or something like that?

[Tweek]

No it is because it is a shitty and uninteresting part of the forums which is directly linked from the front page everytime a news article is put up, which attracts a bunch of new members who never post anywhere else.
For that reason, the admins generally feel (I believe) that these one-time posters won't learn from being TO'd, and so it is pretty much a waste of time.

[Greger]

so me is like not understand problem is here do u help to learn or read sentence bad is what make, sense makes nothing writeing what me does.

i punctuation use liek butts or faggots HEHE LOLFAG

On the other hand, it's kinda retarded to discuss whether he use a bad language or not, just timeout his gay ass and make some flashy moderator thingy where you write the reason why he's being put in TO, instead of dragging a conversation you know you're going to win even if you would lose.

So... can I has cookie now?

[Matt]

Tweek's absolutely right. Greger, shut up.

[Graft]

Matt; Will you guys be posting the results of the survey? I'd be interested in seeing where the forum members are from and stuff like that. I don't really care how much porn quadros orders online, but it'd be cool to see what walks of life other forumers come from.

Yeah let's release the results of a commercial target survey to the forum targetted in the first place, that sounds mega interesting.

By which I mean you're a boring unfunny twat. I don't give a shit about how many 14 year old gamers read C&H, and I'm pretty sure I'm the majority. Plus the fourms constitute like 1% of C&H readers. And also there's the fact that you're lame. And I'm not your fucking in-joke to use to make it look like you fit in on a forum that doesn't like you.

There, all done :fmita:.

Seriously before you jump your dumb ass into a discussion maybe you should review the contents of that discussion in it's entirety. How or why would I be a "parent's rights group"? I love the comic and I think the uncensored humor is hysterical. I also, however, think it is ridiculous that an author of that comic would freak out and get all bitchy at someone for calling someone else a fag in a joking manner.

[Raxo]

Surveys make me feel like I really do matter. :hmm:

Edit: Wow, Buttninja please stop arguing. Matt only got mad because it was a stupid comment and that's it. He didn't get mad because it was insulting to gay people or offensive.

Damn, your arguing is completely pointless and it's obviously because you're bored and feel like trolling.

If you want that stupid humor got to Spame. like it's been said several times.

[ButtersNinja]

They are not different entities. They are part of the same explosm entity. You may want them to be different but the fact is they are not. Every member of your forum reads the comic. You are a moderator and an author. The forum and the comic come from the same homepage.... yeah I guess it doesn't get more different... Freaking out and acting "tough" by threatening to TO someone for jokingly calling someone a fag is hypocritical and pompous. If there was a serious issue then taking care of it would not be an issue, but "hahaha what a fag" is not homophobic abuse or hate speech or anything of the sort. You were flexing your dick because you think you are special because you draw a webcomic and moderate a forum.

Oh I'm sorry, to participate in that fight I would have to be a bitch also... maybe you can fight one of these other douchebags that tried pathetically to "leap to your defense".

[Raxo]

Damn it, you're stupid.

It's like when your 12 and in a chat room and decide to start a fight and talk all big cuz you know damn well the person on the other end will never find you. Just let it go.

[Phrozt]

It's not because of the fag thing it's because you're a fucking dumbass, now shut the fuck up, moron.

Here's an interesting tidbit; the *DAY* that you posted this survey I moved up an entire age bracket!

Also, I'd be interested to know how many other people share my game playing type of "ONES WHERE I FUCKING KILL THE SHIT OUT OF PPL!!!!!" after you've collected all the poll results. I'd like to figure out how many others share my demographic.

Thanks!


EDIT: and just a footnote... This survey is kind of screwy for me because I *just* bought an xbox 360.. and then rock band, so that helps push some of my answers quite a bit higher than normal. Basically, I'm one of those, "gosh you americans/canadians spend a lot of money on gaming," but every other year of my life (and probably most subsequent years) I probably wouldn't be in that group.
