Nerds

[sovietspy47]

So i was talking with a friend at school who is a big WOW fan and his respones was the forum nerds are bigger nerds than online game nerds. I wasen't sure which people are nerdier so i thought this would be a great discussion for BBS.

So any thoughts on his opinion

I'd say they're both equal in their own special ways.

You didn't consider the fact that forum users are going to be heavily biased towards forum users, did you?

AND that a person can be both.

hmm as you can see i dont forum as much, and i dont play my WOW that much, but i guess i am a nerd because of my obsession in video games and movies..... hmmm as for Forum or online gaming nerds... i would have to say the online gamer one is a bigger nerd since they prob spend a lot more time and doing a lot more of RP then being yourself on the forum worlds.

I would say game nerds are nerdier, because even though it's through a computer, we're all socially interacting for the sake of it, whereas them talking amoungst themselves isn't the point of the game.

Show some love for the people who both game and visit forums please.

yea i mean at least in forums you dicuss things with other people its just being social over the computer and you can leave the computer and check respones to your thread unlike with games were you need to keep playing

ive l0o0ked into the dictionary...

NERD
1 . offensive term: an offensive term that deliberately insults somebody's physical appearance or social skills ( slang insult )

2. single-minded enthusiast: somebody who is considered to be excessively interested in a subject or activity that is regarded as too technical or scientific

hmmmm what do you think people and who is really a nerd?

[Leeloo-Minai]

Nobody on WoW or the forums are actively procreating, so I'd say we're all a bunch of unfit nerds with affection issues.

really doesnt matter

well in a forum your using social skills, but are the social skills poor or not? That really depends on the person.
