…You need a better profile picture.

Wait right there a bit.

Benjamin Fox was an add account?!

And to think I made him a profile picture…

@Jenifer

Hey baby, I’m a pilot.

Wanna come in the cockpit?

Jenifer Halls is a spambot as well. I’ve reported her and she’s already been deactivated.

OH YEAH OKAY ITS NOT LIKE I WAS IN LOVE OR ANYTHING

Call me Mike…

I am a member here for 5 consecutive months…

I share random stuff whenever I’m in the mood…

I was here for a lengthy two months.

I guess you can say I’m a peasant.

Hello. My name is Dolan. May I come in?

Actually I was in all along.

…please leave

I’m new and I’m glad to be in this community.
Thanks for the warm welcome!
Hoping to meet new friends and learn lots out here. ^_

I’ve been here for like, over a month, but I should satisfy the Fifth Tradition and present myself.

Je suis René Lemarchand, fabricant de beaux chants-d’oiseaux. Rene Lemarchand, maker of fine mechanical singing birds, delver into realms of the mind and the body, the mechanisms which drive and inspire us.

I am Supreme. Behold, for in reading this post you have collapsed the quantum probability waves, and this world-line you are experiencing shall forever play host to my existence as a member of this website. Too late now, what has been read cannot be unread. >:D

Anyways, been a member for a few months now. Generally I just lurk around the site, thumbing up as I please. Usually will not comment or post unless I can’t help myself or feel that I am needed. This site is also where I get my daily dose of pony, and is wholly responsible for turning me into a brony. I hold a keen interest in sub-cultures (or as I think of them: living memes) especially when they have a propensity to appear in or affect the outside world. This is very probably my favorite place on the Internet. :)

I’m PieFace.

It looks as though people are generally being pretty concise with their posts in this thread, but when I saw the term “introduce” yourself in the title of this thread, I figured I should actually, well, introduce myself. So I figured I should take this opportunity to tell this site a little bit about myself. I know it’s unlikely that people will even read this anyway, but this thread is intended to serve a purpose, and I feel obligated to fulfill that purpose, so here I am.

I’m Commander Matthew. Before you get on me for having a stupid name, I first started using it when I began playing World of Warcraft in my early teenage years. Although those times have passed, the name has stuck with me, mainly because I’m not creative enough to come up with a new name. I suppose this one will have to suffice. As of right now, though, I still don’t have an avatar. I guess I’ll have to go find one sooner or later.

I was born in Toronto, Canada, so by nature I’m a hockey nut. Of course, my pride and joy in this world, my beloved Maple Leafs…I’d rather not speak about them. I wonder how many other Canadians are on this site, actually. Hopefully enough so that I don’t feel like the odd one out.

I’m not the most positive person, and I can be a sourpuss at times. I can be really sarcastic and fatalistic, and I complain a lot. Like, a LOT. So I’d have to advise that you get used to that.

My past online history includes multiple Internet forums, as if you’d care. Back in those awkward transitional years between child and teenager, I spent a lot of my time on Gaia Online, when I was on an anime kick of sorts. Since then, though, I’ve more or less stopped visiting the site altogether. Nowadays, I’m not much of an anime fan. The websites I currently spend a good amount of my free time on are mostly video-game related. Particularly, Facepunch and Runescape. I don’t visit Digital Spy a lot, but when I do, I find that I spend forever just hanging around on it. I haven’t been on Neogaf in close to a year.

If you haven’t yet noticed a trend, I like video games.

I wonder how many other Pokémon, Legend of Zelda, and strategy game fanboys post here. If there is a sizable amount, I’m going to enjoy my time here. I’m not a big fan of first-person-shooters, though. The only franchise I admit to despising is Call of Duty, though, and I can assure you that it’s not just bandwagon hate. I played three or four games and didn’t enjoy it at all. But if that’s your kind of thing, then continue to enjoy it. I’m not a blind hater.

Because I know I’ll be questioned on this sooner or later, I’ll address this now: do I like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? I have a complex answer. As surprising as it may seem, as my personality is rather conflicting with the nature of the show, it isn’t bad. I’ve only seen a couple of episodes from both seasons, and I enjoyed it MUCH more than I thought I would. I don’t check Equestria Daily, or any other fansites or forums, for that matter, but I think it’s a decent show.

However, I refuse to identify myself as a brony. I swear I can’t stand 80% of them. The sad thing is, it wasn’t always like this. The Season 1 bros were top-tier cool for the most part, and a couple of them convinced this former neutral to start watching the show. Then came the days of explosive growth in the fandom during Season 2, and it changed. A lot. The MLP FIM fandom picked up a bunch of really loud, obnoxious assholes that beat the life out of a formerly good fandom. With their constant overponification of absolutely everything and their treating the fandom like it’s a religion and not a group of Internet forum users that enjoy a show about cartoon miniature horses. The rabid idiot fans I despise, but the cool, sane ones I’m glad to hang with and talk to.

(Note: I absolutely do not hate the PRINCIPLE of bronies, I think it’s perfectly acceptable, I just think that in an unfortunate occurrence of events, their fandom was dragged into the mud and now I hate a majority of them.)

As for Homestuck, I haven’t started reading it yet. I know I need to take a look into it, and I likely will, but my question for Homestuck fans is: what’s so good about it? Sell me.

I’m a big fan of most forms of music, mainly video game music and alternative and/or indie rock. I also enjoy most electronic music EXCEPT for Skrillex. I’m sorry, but I just cannot listen to that stuff.

I like some aspects of memes. I’m not really a subculture type of guy, though. I try to keep my distance from most fandoms, particularly MLP FIM. But I’m a fan of a bunch of different memes, with the exception of every Advice Animal spin-off that exists. I watched a few KYM episodes and figured I might as well check out the site, then registered after viewing 20 or 25 entries and glancing over the forums quickly. It seems almost as though this site is headed in an institutional direction if you ask me. It’s far off, but it will get there in time, I think, with how the researching of Internet phenomena has taken an almost scientific temperament.

If you have any other questions for me, I’d be glad to field them on my wall.

Hai, I’m Casey. Everybody knows how fucking original it is to make your real name your user name!

Cheers

I’m just a goldfish. Hello.

Hi, im not a spambot. No, really.

I just started following everyone on this page, hi!!!!

This explains it.

Joined about a month ago, but haven’t posted in the forums yet. Anyways, I like the site so far!

Hello!

I shall be known on this website as Avi. It’s just sort of a nick I like; I think it’s kind of catchy and it seems to sort of fit my personality. I’ve grown into it. Hopefully that doesn’t sound TOO off-putting.

“Introduce” myself. Huh. Alrighty then, Know Your Meme, I’ll introduce myself as best I can.

As was previously stated, my “name” is Avi. I like a variety of different peculiar things, which I will get into detail about below. But first, I think I should answer the question of how I got here in the first place.

Until about a year ago or so, I was never really very interested in Internet culture and phenomena. I didn’t quite know what to think of these in-jokes. The only “meh-mehs” (as I used to pronounce the word) that I knew of were the very mainstream ones. Other than that, I was essentially clueless. I was actually prompted to start learning about these meh-mehs through Homestuck, which I was introduced to by a friend. I discovered that it had quite the Internet following, and as I started to read the series, I wanted to find out more about things similar to it and things that the Internet liked. So, I ended up here, naturally. This is likely the definitive guide to Internet in-jokes.

I didn’t regularly visit the site at all, though. I only came here to skim over an entry when I saw something that made me laugh, and wanted to find out the context behind it. I wasn’t aware that Know Your Meme even had forums until two days ago. I’m rather ashamed to admit that I never noticed the Forums button at the top of the page. I read about the first five pages of this thread, and figured that that was enough, so I jumped the gun and signed up. I hope I won’t be regretting this decision.

I’m interested in learning more about Internet culture as I continue to lurk on this site, posting occasionally (or maybe frequently). Expect to see me here at least once a day. I’m a talker by nature, so I’d rather just get involved in conversation right away than read through a bunch of threads. I’ve always been a pretty fast learner, so I think I should adjust to the system quickly enough. I don’t know anybody here, so if you wish, you can introduce yourself to me on my profile page. With luck, I’ll get back to you fairly quickly, assuming I’ll receive an email notification when somebody writes on my page, because I don’t think I’ll be able to check it regularly.

On now to things that I like, I suppose. Like I said, I like a variety of many different things. Some of them more…quirky than others.

I’m a big Doctor Who fan. I’ve been a fan of it since I was about ten years old. Just by checking the front page, I notice that there isn’t a Doctor Who discussion thread! How weird is that? I totally think that it deserves one. Maybe that’s something for the future.

I’m a moderate Homestuck fan. I think it’s perfectly fine, but I’m not very far into it yet. I don’t have the time to sift through the entire thing. I wanted to donate some money to the Kickstarter, but never got around to it. I know that my friend did, though, so hopefully I’ll be able to “borrow” some of the stuff he gets in his pack when it arrives.

The Internet turned me into a brony. I’ve now seen every episode, and occasionally check some pony sites. That’s all I’ll say about that.

I like Adventure Time. I think that the humor is great, and I think that the art style is similar to my own, so it appeals to me a lot. Maybe in the future I’ll make a thread where I let people recommend stuff for me to draw, so I can showcase my art.

I also love science and mathematics, and I’d enjoy discussing that with anybody interested.

I like cats as well, as my avatar will attest. I have two. One is named Frosty and the other is named Snowball. (I’m a Simpsons fan, so that should explain it.) Both cats are white, as if that was hard to guess.

I like too many video games to begin describing why, so instead I think I’ll just tell you about the genres that I like. I’ve always been a big fan of RPG games and tactical strategy games, and I love administrating my own forum games, which I’ve done in the past on some of the other forums I’ve posted on. I still do enjoy an FPS from time to time, but not nearly as much as I used to.

I also enjoy construction and management simulation games a lot, which I suppose fall under the category of tactical strategy, just with premises that differ. But same type of thing. I’m not a particularly big fan of social simulation games, but I have a Sims city I’m working on that I still can’t go a week without checking, a habit I’m trying to ease myself off of. However, I also like simple stuff like puzzle-platform games and silly escape-the-room type things. I like tower defense games too. I still hit up an MMORPG now and again, but they’ve somehow lost their novelty over the years in my opinion.

I like just being “lulzy” and having fun discussion, but if a serious topic does come up, I’d be glad to give my two cents. Just a warning, though: I never really did learn how to be concise. I don’t intentionally ramble or anything; it’s just how I am both in real life and on the Internet.

I certainly do hope that this is a nice enough community, nothing like some…other notorious Internet forums. (cough cough 4chan cough cough) I think that I expect the nice people to outweigh the brash and abrasive people, sort of. I guess I’ll find out as I meet you all.

Digressions!

Thanks for digressing, Avi!

I suppose I should move on to my other interests and a little backstory about myself, things not pertaining to media. I was born in San Francisco, California. I lived not too far from the ocean, from the little that I can remember. It’s sort of odd that I love the ocean, but dislike swimming. To make things even more unusual, I enjoy running and I’ve been involved in track-and-field for nearly two years. And I’m a pretty good runner as well, not to toot my own horn. I guess it’s just that I prefer being dry.

Anyway, I no longer live there. I’ve moved around quite a bit in my life, and hopefully where I am now is where I’ll be staying for a long time. It gets a bit tiresome to have to relocate too often.

Wow, that was surprisingly short. I guess I’m just not really an interesting person outside of media-related things, but on the Internet, one doesn’t discuss much else, do they?

Back into media-related things. Music!

I like all kinds of different music. I’m mainly into video game music. I like chip-tunes a lot, as well as stuff from both older and newer games using different elements. Furthermore, I like indie music. I’m into both older and newer indie. I like indie pop and indie rock, and some alternative stuff. Black Tambourine, Blind Pilot, The Decemberists, Ellie Goulding (some things), Hey Ocean! (No, seriously. I swear MLP has absolutely nothing to do with it.), The Corn Dollies, Radiohead (their older music more so than their newer music), Crayon, Headlights, The Long Winters, Now It’s Overhead, Library Voices…I could go on for a long time. Maybe if somebody is actually still reading this and is interested in my music tastes, we could have a profile post exchange. I’m always up for a music discussion.

I’m not particularly sophisticated when it comes to electronic music, which I know most of the Internet enjoys. But I still like a lot of it. I enjoy ambient house and ambient pop a lot. I dearly cherish drum and bass music, which I think is the best of all the genres of electronic. Hardstyle and jumpstyle appeal to me a lot more than I thought they would, and I still prefer traditional dubstep to Excision, Datsik, Nero, and the most popular of them all, the “poster boy” for the new dubstep scene, Skrillex. Not that I don’t enjoy it at all, just not as much. Too…”sugary” for me.

I occasionally fool around in Flash, and make cartoons sometimes. Maybe I’ll have to clog up the forums with that kind of dumb crap. Don’t worry though, I’ll use media tags if asked.

Phew! Well, I think that’s sufficient for the moment. If I think of anything else to add (which I’m sure I will in the future), I’ll return here and make another post.

I hope to see you all around, and hope that I enjoy my time here!

Hi, I don’t know who I am. Do you? That’s not really an issue right now though, I’ll introduce myself.

Well, I don’t know myself and I don’t remember who I am. So I guess this is void. Sorry for wasting your time.

I actually joined 4 months ago but I never actually did anything with my account until yesterday.

I am iBlewupthemoon, you may refer to me as Plato.jar
and this is what I do for a living

no not really

Hello there!

I am Vidya Gaem and I can’t wait to make some friends here. :3

Whaddup

I’m not really much of a “new member,” I’ve been here for a few weeks now, but I finally decided to join and start posting.

Fuck. I have nothing to say. So, hello.

Oh, right--there are a lot of things that I hate. A LOT of things.

Hello fine sirs,I do believe it is a smashing day today.
Anyone want some tea?
that’sallfolks

hm hm hmm hmmHMMM hm hm hm hm hm hm hmmmmmm

Hi.

What am i doing here…

Alright. So, I’ve never really been any good at introducing myself anywhere, be it in real life or to people online; formal or informal. So I was sitting here for a while trying to think of a decent way to start this post. I knew that it needed sort of a compelling hook, if I wanted anybody to read this thing so that at least they’ll know who the fuck I am when they see my name on the site. I thought about being classy and carrying out a garrulous preamble, and also thought about just saying “Yo” and leaving it at that. In the end, I decided to just write about how I’m not good at introducing myself, subtly segueing into the rest of this post, haven gotten around actually introducing myself with nobody being the wiser.

Unless I do something like that. Shit.

I am Kris. Believe it or not, that is my real name. (Well, technically it’s “Kristopher,” but I very much so prefer Kris.) I chose to use this as my username as well because I couldn’t think of a decent name for the life of me. (I was about to settle on something else, but it’s pretty stupid looking at it in retrospect, so I’m going to leave it to your imagination to wonder what it was.)

As my avatar will attest, it is quite obvious that I am a brony. Also obvious is that Princess Celestia is easily the recipient of the title of “best pony,” followed closely behind by Pinkie Pie and Luna. Have fun with your inferior characters, plebeians. Also, I was at June 2012 Bronycon, so fuck with me. It was really fun, and I met some pretty cool people there.

With that aside, I must now move on to my duty of actually introducing myself. I’m a 19-year-old kid living in Florida, the land of sunshine and oranges, and the Happiest Place on Earth in the mind of everybody who lives here. I’m always up for a lengthy discussion about more or less anything.

I actually got here through links from different blogs I follow that lead me to KnowYourMeme articles and episodes. I even once was taken to a forum thread. I’ve known that KnowYourMeme exists for about eight months now, but I finally managed to motivate myself to join and to start posting, although it took me at least a week because I procrastinate worse than a graduate student. I think what finally prompted me to join was when I actually read the FiM entry. I guess that when I saw how hard people had worked to make that entry what it is, I realized that this was a community that I want to be a part of, so here I am.

I’m sure I’m going somewhere with this post. Just bear with me here, for I have a little story to tell the three-or-fewer people that I predict will actually read this post, because everybody knows nobody gives a damn about the new members. Or maybe this is a chance for you guys to prove me wrong?

So, the year was 2005. The date I have forgotten, but I remember that it was sometime in November. Being a young 12-year-old back then, needless to say, I…lacked multiple qualities expected of a mature male. My logical thinking wasn’t really honed. So, on this one day in November 2005, after recently turning 12, I was having three friends over for a sleepover. My parents didn’t enjoy hosting sleepovers back then, and although I’ve now grown out of that “sleepover” phase, they don’t enjoy hosting sleepovers during which my younger brother or sister will be entertaining their guest(s) by frolicking about the house with reckless abandon. So, they weren’t too happy about this particular sleepover to begin with.

Well, the house that we lived in at the time had a fairly soft grass backyard, but a small one. It also had a huge gravel driveway. This is where I tie things back to what I said about logical thinking earlier. We chose to play football in the driveway because of its larger size, completely ignoring my mother’s stern warning about playing onto in the backyard. My underdeveloped frontal lobe sold me out, that malicious bastard.

So, we’re playing football out in my gravel driveway, when my friend throws a bad pass. It’s pretty high and off-target, but I go for it anyway. I’m tightly covered, but of course I don’t let that stop me. I go up for the ball, get elbowed in the nose by the kid covering me, the ball hits me right in the chest, and then I hit the gravel driveway, landing on my stomach and scraping the front side of my body. Seriously. I kid you not, all of this happened in one disastrous sequence.

I didn’t want to go inside and get chewed out by my parents, but I knew that it was the best thing to do. So I got shouted at for a few minutes, right in front of my friends, and then received quick medical attention from my mother. The rest of the sleepover, to be honest, I don’t remember much about, but that’s not the important part. What’s important is what happened to me and what I realized on that day.

I disregarded logic and safety because I thought that the less safe and less logical alternative would be more entertaining. This was the day that I realized that humans tend to act illogically, not necessarily because of ignorance, but more so because of ennui. I saw both choices, and without looking at the “issue” (Hey, we were 12-year-old kids. It was important to us) at hand in depth, I chose to just do what seemed more fun because I didn’t have enough will to make the smarter choice.

Case in point: I know that I type a lot, but I offer no apologies for that. I might say something important, even crucial, to my time and experience on the site, but if you choose not to read my post, then you might miss out on that piece of information. Don’t worry too much about that though, for it’s very unlikely that that will happen.

Also, on that note, I don’t usually write summaries at the end of my posts unless they’re particularly long and tedious to read, so if you have a short attention span, you might want to channel my posts out of your mind, because I always know before I begin that they’re going to be pretty long.

I used the word “ennui” for a reason. In this case, it has two meanings (there’s a term for that!), one of which being just a synonym for “boredom.” That is true. And the other one was supposed to be what I consider to be the definition of the word: having too much time on one’s hands, but lacking the will to do something productive. For me, particularly in my childhood, this was true. I often made less-than-adequate decisions that landed me in hot water with numerous different authority figures because of this. I apply this to the Internet in that we have the power and capability to do virtually anything we want on the Internet in short periods of time, but we’ve grown so accustomed to this that we take it for granted, and now have allowed ourselves to mold to fit that life standard. Our attention spans shorten, and we make poor choices and act illogically because we don’t have the patience to think things through. Am I right?

So, after this day in my life, I like to think that I wised up, and now try to see things objectively and make the right choices when I can. And for some reason, this story also indirectly relates to making posts on Internet forums, as I not-so-clearly covered above. Maybe I’m just stupid.

Because of this, I’m now interested in social analysis, and try to look objectively at humans to determine what makes them act the way they do. Call me odd, but I think that it’s sort of cool.

(I apologize for splitting my introduction up, but it was over the character limit.)

I suppose that maybe you’re interested in hearing about things that I like and things that I dislike. Very well, I’ll grant you your wish, but I usually resent doing this. I feel like it’s necessary, though, because if I’m going to post on this site and I want you to know who I am, I might as well at least tell you, potential reader, what I like and dislike so that you know what to expect from me.

Well, as I mentioned earlier, I may or may not love MLP: FiM. I left room for interpretation, didn’t I? No? Oh, well. Yeah, I most certainly am a brony, and a pretty potent one, too, though I like to think of myself as being as sane and level-headed as they come.

I also like Homestuck a fair amount. I’m not far into it at all, but I think I know enough about it to be able to hold a discussion about it (at least the earlier acts) with the other fans of the webcomic on KnowYourMeme. My favorite character in Homestuck is Vriska, but I also really like that wacky Gamzee Makara. He holds a special place in my heart, honk honk.

I like Pokemon a fine amount too. Don’t sue me, but I think I prefer the anime over the games, mainly because I haven’t played the games a lot, or played many of them. I don’t have a favorite Pokemon, but I think my favorite Pokemon game might still be Pokemon Blue, just because of the sentimental value that game has with me.

Is it a tiny bit odd that I still avoid the Ruined Childhood gallery because I know that there’s Pokemon pics in there and I don’t want them to do just what the title of the entry is? Probably. Well, screw it. I’m going in there later today.

I like strategy games like Fire Emblem and Advance Wars a lot. Also, I’m a pretty big fan of World of Tanks. In general, I really like fighting games. Fighting is Magic looks really cool, and I’m excited about it. I also think Tom Clancy might kind of be a genius. The Hunt for Red October was brilliant.

I also like combat simulators and stuff like that, and who doesn’t love a good racing game every now and again? Surely I can’t be the only one who enjoys turn-based strategy and tactic games as well. I really liked Silent Storm, and I thought King’s Bounty was a decent game, but I thought the sequel, King’s Bounty: The Legend, was a lot better, which should be expected of it, naturally, considering that it was released eighteen years later.

I’m not too big a fan of hack-and-slash games, though. I prefer first-person-shooters. I think Call of Duty is overrated, but I’m a Halo nut. Of course, I preordered Black Ops II and Halo 4, and both are awesome, though I think Halo 4 is better. I got into MMORPGs in my younger years and still love them, though some are completely horrible and others are fantastic.

In addition, I also like real-time strategy and tactics, arguably more than or just as much as turn-based. I prefer RTS games where the tasks required to succeed are more demanding. One of the most legendary old RTS games, Dune II, is actually pretty kick-ass.

I can’t say that I have much of an opinion on browser games; they are what they are. I mean, some of them like Google’s Pac-Man logo are just fun and time-wasting, but some can really kill my productivity. (As if I had any productivity to kill!)

I really like forum games that involve role-playing and teamwork, and plan on possibly administrating a couple in the future, maybe some with help if you’re into that kind of thing as well, potential reader.

Adventure games are loads of fun as well. I’m always looking forward to playing those.

There are plenty more games I like and I always have more to say about video games, so if you’d like to contact me and talk, I’m game for it.

(See what I did there? IT WAS FUNNY SHUT UP)

On now to music. I don’t think that generic classification of music styles is possible in a logically consistent way, but I don’t want to waste a lot of time on this because I know I could go on and on about music I like, so instead, I’ll just say this: I like electronic, rock (both new and classic), hip-hop, jazz, and some alternative and indie. I hate using those two as genres, because I know that that doesn’t work, but for the sake of this, I suppose it’s alright.

I also like Japanese culture a lot. I’m down for discussion of anime or whatever you please, so long as I’ve actually seen it. And I like science and maths, in case anybody else does. Which you probably don’t, but whatever.

I would continue about other things if I wanted to, but this introduction is getting kind of long. As some people above me said, I’ll likely come back in the future to talk about other stuff, but for now I’m out, I guess.

Also, I wonder if the new members that regularly appear on this site annoy the older members at all. That’s a question for the future…

Welcome to KYM Kris.
Not many share that much right off the bat. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Thanks, dude.

Yeah, I probably didn’t need to share that much, but you know, what can I say?

(A lot less than that, Kris.)

EDIT: Also, I just realized that I’ve more or less been proven wrong in thinking that nobody would read my posts here. So far, at least two people have read them!)

I am also new. Hail Cheeseburger

I am new. Hello.

I wish I found out about this forum earlier. I joined about 22 days ago, I think. I am CrustyClarinet. I’m glad to be here with such a great community.

I’m a 14-year-old child. I’m quite interested in researching Internet culture, and just making fun posts in the forums and hanging out with other users on here (at least, I will, when I get to know some of them.)

I like ponies, Homestuck and TF2, mainly. Those are the three fandoms I consider myself to be a part of.

I am also a charismatic cult leader, and this entire website and its users are figments of my imagination.

(I’m tired, and not in the mood to make a long, formal introduction at the moment, but I think this is adequate.)

hello everybody. I live in mexico, I like ponies and Im also a big madness combat fan. English is not my first language, so please excuse any grammer or spelling mistakes I may make.

Technically, I should also post here I guess :P

I am SleepingOrange, and I don’t know how to shot web.

In addition, I think that MLP: FIM is a decent show. Homestuck is my favorite comic. I like a bunch of different video games. I also draw sometimes, but I’m shit at art and I prefer Photoshop. I hope this site is cool.

Hello. I’ve only lurked for a few days, but I think I should be able to feel out the forums quickly enough. I read all of the stickied threads on every board, and checked out a few entries and image galleries. I first found about about KYM (I’m using the abbreviation for it because everybody on this site does) about three months ago, and thought not again of it until very recently. I actually confess that I wouldn’t have joined KYM at all if I hadn’t noticed the Forums tab.

I feel that I should warn you now that I take the view of “everybody is an idiot until proven otherwise.” So, if you’re reading this right now, I think you’re an idiot. Prove me wrong.

I’m normally more or less a wall of text generator, but I think I’ll give you the abridged edition of my introduction for now, because I don’t want to dwell on this for too long.

I am a brony. Sue me. Pinkie Pie is my favorite pony, but I think the whole “best pony” argument is really stupid, so I won’t get involved there. Scootaloo is the close second for this title.

My username and avatar make it blatant that I love Dark Souls.

I tend to avoid most Japanese media, because I’m not that big a fan of anime and manga. I think Japanese video game series are alright, particularly The Legend of Zelda and F-Zero. Other than that, most of it just doesn’t do it for me.

Although in the past I could not have said this, I have found recent taste for Team Fortress 2. In particular, I am a fan of Pyro.

I read webcomics far too often for my own good. I still think Homestuck is quite overrated, but still good. I’d have to say my favorite is probably xkcd, but it’s not an easy stance to take.

I like rock music, drum and bass, and chiptunes. I really don’t listen to very much music besides songs that fall under those three genres.

That’s all I suppose is necessary to say about myself. If you’d like to know more about me, comment on my page or something. (Don’t do it unless you want a wall of text the likes of which have not been seen by human eyes.)

EDIT: Fuck. It appears that my real name is now my display name, since I’ve put my real name into my profile settings. For those of you who might be interested, it was “Captain Affable.” Ironically, this is the exact opposite of what I attest to be.

I finally motivated my ass to make an account and will now proceed to frequent these forums.

I am Nickbot, and I’ve dedicated my life to ponies.

Oh, and besides that, I also play video games.
When I’m not playing video games, I’m studying.
When I’m not studying, I’m listening to music.
When I’m not listening to music, I’m drawing ponies or writing pony fanfiction.

That is my entire life.

I’m still new to this website, but I can already say with confidence that I hate you all. You deserve a medal for that, because that might actually be the highest opinion I hold of any Internet community.

I am GhettoRobin. I am the creator of the Mortal Kombat submission. I need help.

afternoon ladies and gents. name’s sal, or jager, whatever you wanna call me idc. basically my whole reason for signing up was to upload some pictures of my goofyass lookin’ friend and see what you all can come up with. we already have began documenting how ridiculous he is on youtube, but i won’t post any links as idk if it violates any tos or anything. if you care to see the extent of Piiart’s (documented) craziness, let me know and we’ll work out the details. he does everything from salvia (hilarious ramblings), to a mock dog the bounty hunter l, wrestling, and just various other wackiness. it may not be as funny to you not knowing him, but most people i know say he looks like a pedophile, he’s stingy and creepy at times lol just wanna see what you all can come up with to rip him apart so we can show him and laugh at him lol
