I saw this earlier on halo.bungie.org and thought i'd share it here.


How many members of an internet forum does it takes to change a light bulb?

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed.

9 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently.

7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.

1 to move it to the "Lighting" section.

2 to argue then move it to the "Electricals" section

7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

5 to flame the spell checkers

3 to correct spelling/grammar flames

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... and six more to condemn those 6 as "stupid"

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

5 know-it-alls to claim they were in the industry, and "light bulb" is correct

9 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take the discussion to a lightbulb forum

1 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum

6 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty

7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

4 to post that the wrong URL's were posted and then post the right ones

3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group

2 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

4 to ask "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

2 to say "do a Google search before posting questions about "light bulbs"

And finally,
1 "lurker" to respond to the original posting - 6 months later - and start it all over

1 mod to lock the thread

You forgot to add one more to lock the thread after it's been revived after 6 months.

I got one to add:

And a couple guys like me, Game Junkie Jim and Achronos to argue that you have no right to change Bungie's light bulbs.

:P

But did you know that the original post over at HBO happened 6 months ago?

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Its a good find. It was posted at the RvB forums a while back so Ive seen it but it is so true...

And 1 crazy man named Halo53 to put his light bulb in water to wash it off, and realize he broke it :(

Okay... I'm still right.

No, I didn't know that.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.
