Recently everybody thinks it's fucking hilarious to post music embedded in their posts. And I'm telling you to FUCKING STOP! I have 3 reasons.


1. IT'S FUCKING ANNOYING. I don't want to listen to the Banana Phone song or Rick Roll while I'm reading a fucking post. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

2. It's immature. You're posting the music to annoy people. That is a sign of immaturity. Grow up. Nobody wants to listen to the music, and if YOU do, then listen to it through your own Media Player. That's what they're there for.

3. Lagging out. Not everybody has the greatest connections. Loading the forums is a burden for them ALONE. Embedding music into the topics makes it nearly impossible for them to read ANYTHING.


So stop, k?

Like me. I literally have the minimum running when I'm online to allow for best functions and speed. Runescape, IRC, and FireFox opened to WG forums. If I'm doing something like going to dks, I close FireFox.

I do click on most links said in IRC. Kinda have to to keep up with everything. But when I get one that has music on... It takes a lot longer to load, I lag out on rs, and I get lag on IRC. This means I get a bunch of lines all at once, and it can totally cut me off from what was being talked about.

OR say there's music in the topic title. I know I intend to put soundtracks on some threads I make when I eventually figure out how to do it. tongue.gif

Are you talking about House of Random included (i.e. no music in House of Random either, which I disagree with.) or the rest of the forum (which I agree, should be music free.)

If we could just ban the BANANA PHONE though I'd prefer it, every time I hear it it gets stuck in my head for like a month. angryhahs.gif.png

As a Raid Leader, BTO, you should know better.

First off, you're going into someone else's post or account and putting music on their behalf without their permission, which, to me, is a serious trust issue.

Unfortunately, kids will be kids but I thought the whole "Rick Roll" thing was over by now. What's it going to be next?

Plain and simple, put your crap music, Rick Rolls and anything else you want where it belongs...either up your wazoo, or in HOUSE OF RANDOM...that's what that forum is there for.

Whoops, thanks.

Oddly enough, when I typed it the first time, I wrote "Rock Rill" but I only noticed that I messed up on the "Rill". Ah well, it's fixed now. xD

The point is that it's annoying. tongue.gif

Actually Rob, it may be a better idea to give the person who posts it a warn level if it's not in House of Random.
