Dark Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I've noticed something. Call me slow, call me retarded (although I've noticed it A LOT OF TIMES), but I have noticed something. Whenever one YCMember does something, everyone else follows. Three examples. When some guy started writing poems in General (way back when), everybody else (sadly, including me) starting writing poems, too. Most of them (or rather, all of them not meant for the lulz) were horrible, but more and more members starting writing this crap. That's how the Official Poetry Thread (now in Literature) came about. Something about fsjals in avatars. And then everyone copied. And now, everybody is making threads about their not-so-clever Cleverbot conversations. I mean, we easily have three or four threads, and I can expect that number to increase because more people think they had a funny or smart conversation with an effing AI. So, discuss other times this has happened in YCM's history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn of Elemia Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 If you do something, you can expect others to copy you. That's always how it is. Trends come and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Well, we're locking the Cleverbot threads since we only need one. Go to the TCG section. People love copying others. Side from that, I know a LONG time ago we had another avatar one. We also had a "following in the footsteps of x" that a few people did too.

Dark Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I wasn't here for this, but remember when everyone used to put God in front of their usernames? They acted like it gave them extra power by pretending to be a pretend supreme being. Also, putting symbols in your name. I participated in this, but changed back to plain, old Dark as soon as I got an opportunity to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The symbol name thing got a bit annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited Edition KING Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I think I started putting song lyrics in your sig trend I started making my own raps and then Kotaro followed me. Can't really call it a trend if I know only one person does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyire Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 60% of YCM users put this s*** in their signatures. If you actually do this crap, go jump off a cliff and die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Can't believe I forgot about fake statistics in your signature. Although, that is for most every forum, so it's not YCM-exclusive. Then again, I doubt fsjals are YCM-exclusive. Not sure if this is a really big trend, but having a "Song of the Day" or "Song of the Moment" type thing in your signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Βyakuya Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Symbols. My old username was ۞ Ulquiorra Schiffer ۞. Then when I opened a club, it got popular, and most people followed in my steps by putting "۞" in their names, at least 3 people. I got this idea from symbols in people's names. But this is true influence since I found out about the Character Map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Remember those "Draco Straybryn" threads?Those were the days... Those were really back in the day. In fact, I don't even remember any of them, except like one. D: When Brushfire started those 'Ask Me a Question' threads. I think they still exist. o.0 Can't forget the Digimon Wars, too. ASK ME AN EFFING QUESTION. I hated those so much, and it was such a stupid fad. Worst thing Brushfire's done on this website. =P Digimon Wars? Triforce. How many people did that affect? I only saw it in a few people's sigs. _____ - shaped *insert fruit name here* OHYAH I REMEMBER THAT. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
