Haha! *laughter Explosion 2007-11-19 14:55:25

This random whacko messaged me today. (chat transcript follows):

Gutspiller2: [Generic Homosexual Game Portal Site] is now adding 20 games every weekday.
Gutspiller2: That's more than Newgrounds.
Me: Um how about no?
Me: NG is user content driven
Me: NG could have 2 games a day
Me: or 2000
Gutspiller2: Rarely does it get that many.
Me: i see dozens of games everyday
Gutspiller2: Maybe 15 at the most.
Gutspiller2: Most get blammed.
Me: 99% of the time the authors submit it
Gutspiller2: It doesn't come close to my daily 20.
Me: there's a difference between an author submitting his content
Me: and you stealing the author's content for your site
Me: :-)
Gutspiller2: It's not actually "stolen"
Gutspiller2: It requires more work on my part to find decent games.
Me: do you get permission from each author?
Me: cause it's stealing if the author does not explicitly detail whether they want their game copied and reproduced on the game, or on the site you

collect their game from
Gutspiller2: It is the author's responsibility.
Me: bullshit
Gutspiller2: They can url lock the flash file.
Me: what you just said reminds me of that old thing
Me: "oh she was dressed like a slut therefore it's okay to rape her"
Me: ever heard of intellectual property?
Me: you might have a case if no one puts a copyright on their game
Me: i will say that
Me: otherwise
Me: your a bootlegger
Gutspiller2: I simply host the games.
Me: your still making money off other people's property
Me: it is 100% fine if they want the game to be hosted around
Me: but not all game developers want this
Gutspiller2: I've had few complaints.
Me: well yeah every flash author knows there's too many sites to try to tackle if they rip your stuff
Gutspiller2: Maybe only a few requests to remove games.
Gutspiller2: each month
Me: but every guy who runs a site like yours (and there's hundreds maybe thousands of sites just like yours)
Me: is living in this wild west mentality
Me: of
Me: i do it because i can
Me: and yeah
Gutspiller2: There are no other sites like mine. My site is the largest of its kind as far as I know.
Me: i domain lock and encrypt my stuff cause of sites like yours
Me: you know what
Me: i dont care
Me: cause you come across like an arrogant douchebag
Me: have some humility
Me: and stop acting so damn pompous
Me: then maybe i'll respect you
Gutspiller2: Ha, and you own a site similar to mine.
Me: my site is nothing like yours
Me: it's a small studio site
Me: all the content on it
Me: is created by myself and my collaborators
Gutspiller2: You used to own etgames.com, correct?
Me: yeah i dont anymore
Me: it's owned by some other loser now
Me: and when i owned it
Me: it was all content either created by me
Me: or people submitted to me voluntarily
Me: i never "hunted" for content
Me: if anything was there
Me: it was supposed to be there
Gutspiller2: I get a lot of praise for me site though. [Apparently this young man is a A: a pirate B: Borat C: A massive tool with a tiny grasp of the

Engrish language]
Gutspiller2: Newgrounds really only produces maybe 1 or 2 good games daily.
Me: if your trying to advertise your site to me your doing a bad job
Gutspiller2: What's so great about Newgrounds?
Me: there's nothing that great about the internet period
Me: if you think there is
Me: you have no life
Me: Newgrounds was around when you were still watching Power Rangers no doubt
Me: and they're still the top site
Me: cause they actually "get it"
Gutspiller2: Well, the internet's great when you're making money from it
Me: all the other sites are run by people like you
Me: people who are just in it for the money
Me: I bet you couldn't MAKE a game if you tried
Gutspiller2: So...
Me: running a site is the easiest thing in the world
Me: your a hack dude haha
Me: you bring nothing to the table
Gutspiller2: I'd like to see some of you flash game developers try your hand a creating sites.
Gutspiller2: You couldn't make one have as popular as mine.
Me: I ran a site back in 2003 that brought in a shitload of money
Me: was your site even around then?
Gutspiller2: [Generic Homosexual Game Portal Site] is making over $200 daily.
Gutspiller2: It's only been around for a couple years.
Gutspiller2: And how much was your making?
Me: I dont discuss my finances
Gutspiller2: Oh well, I'll just assume it was significantly less.
Me: how old are you?
Me: and where do you live?
Gutspiller2: 27
Me: I'd like to pinpoint what drives your brand of douchefaggery
Me: wow
Me: you sound like your about 14
Me: your arrogant as hell
Me: grow up
Me: no one cares how much your stupid game site makes.
Gutspiller2: I was just pointing out that it takes some skills to run an arcade site.
Gutspiller2: I'm not one of those guys who buys a script and slaps some ads on it.
Gutspiller2: I put more work into it than any other arcade webmaster out there.
Gutspiller2: I don't appreciate it when someone calls one of my sites a thief.
Me: haha
Me: sorry I dont respect people who boast and act like arrogant jerks
Me: you get what you give out bro.

I suppose it's not "funny haha". What I found funny was this guy had the stones to message me simply to say MY SITE IS BETTER THAN NEWGROUNDS.

That's because he's a fucking moron. This still seems like something that should've been in your profile. It's just you telling some faggot off.

You may laugh at him, but he's the one making two hundred dollars daily from his site.

Though Newgrounds does make more than that.

In fact, I'm going to put it in my sig, so that it'll have another twenty thousand different pages linking to it.

Anyway, your conversation was boring, uninspired, and most importantly, unfunny. For something titled with both "haha" and "laughter", there was a distinct lack of both.
