    Default What is a troll?

    Before this useless thread is hopefully deleted by Khelvan ( please delete it Khlevan after I read it) I want to ask someone: What is a troll? I've heard about their existance and people talk about them? But what is it?

    It's a misunderstanding, when the Gauls dropped their 50,000 fur coats before the battle start, a lost Roman scout stumbled upon the giant furry mass and confused it for a monster.

    Wikipedia on trolling.

    Basically someone who does his best to upset a discussion on an internet forum for no apparent reason, utilising verbal abuse and general rudeness in attempts to draw attention and bait other users into angery replies, possibly netting them a warning.

    they're idiots with no life, that's what trolls are. so Clayton hasn't got a life. YAY!



    If I was smart, I would have a witty punchline in this sig that would make everyone ROTFL.

    I'm not smart.
