Joking is all well and good, but a good few of the ones made were just spiteful. If you don't remember how petty some of them were then your welcome to go back to the thread, and the LLRGT thread with them.
I wouldn't have minded one or two done similar to what I did. As mine were situational, and not making fun of anyone.
You can go back and look. The only person other than me to make one about a forum member (other than me) was DavidT, with his one about Rich taking command of TGC and forcing them to move to an Atari 2D pipeline. (even funnier given a few weeks later he made a post asking for ideas for a 2D Enhancement Pack)
See that was funny because it wasn't making fun of Rich, but putting him in a funny situation given the known love he has for 2D and Atari.
Same goes for mine. Indi had recently bought a Macintosh, so it just seemed funny if he was all excited until he found out it was a pink one.. more so because they do actually come in pink and unless you specify a colour they send you whichever they have in stock.
I was worried about the one about Darthster being out of line, so rather than posting it up I actually ran it by him first; to see if he was alright with it.
See those ones weren't intended to be mean or making fun of anyone. It was light-hearted fun.
Now you go back and look at the numerous ones created about me, simply in order to take a pot-shot. I remember one of them was pretty funny, because it was something like me trying to get online with a toaster and a pager or something... but they weren't all a light as that one, some were down-right nasty.
Sure I can take a joke, but sod sitting there just to be blanky insulted.
