- cstrippie, on 10/10/2007, -3/+40How is this linux/unix? There are IRC clients for every OS out there, and the majority of IRC users are Windows users.

. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+32There is also the :"What music are you listening to?" person...Who gives you a blow by blow of every song the person is hearing on the radio and their personal opinion of each song....Not caring a twit that no one cares.
- Vich, on 10/10/2007, -1/+28At first I thought he'd missed me, then I found the last entry:
The 50/50 Guy: This guy actually knows his stuff.. Half of the time. The other half he cycles between all the annoying IRC personalties. He'll be talking coherently about a C program he wrote one minute and then suddenly go into a string of explicatives and tell you about his toenails. - Vich, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21It's even worse when they have mp3 scripts to message the chan as the song changes.
- dextrousm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21He forgot the "Makes snarky blog posts about other IRC users guy"
- orxor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15... and what type of personality is bloodninja?
- xspinkickx, on 10/10/2007, -3/+17I think
I am the
enter key
abuser. - stalefries, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Ugh, I knew a "Lost AOLer" in real life. Knowing I was "that computer guy", he bragged to me that he had mIRC.
- cfazzini, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13A hero.
- headingeast, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12read error: erection reset by queer?
- rebopper, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13/me is making a sandwich.
- 8ight, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10how about, "mr. trigger happy"?
enters a room and within seconds is trying to raise a bot with commands like !list, !files, !help, and whatever else it can think of. - Unr3a1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10@codeninja: make digg better and submit a permalink to the story next time.
- codeninja42, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10no it's not
- wolferz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11/ME steals ur samich and runs. "muahahahahahahahaha"
- joel.smith, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Haha.. same here.. I can definitely identify with the 50/50 guy.. I'm also an Enter Key Abuser..
Awesome article! :P - dezmo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9plz help me to hack hotmail cause my friends mom lost her password and there is no way to get it back so plz tell me how i can hack hotmail you are 1337 right?
- rhylan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9...i think the evil wizard type could be described a bit better using slightly more colourful language
- lpcustom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8/ignore is almost as amazing as teh google
- ka0tic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Let's not forget the "plz help" guys.
- lpcustom, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8my favorite to use is "connection reset by beer"
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Learn more here: http://bash.org/
I meet the Lost AOL user once or twice a week, annoying little bastards. - Trollhammaren, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7***** you. Just because we prefer meaningful conversations in plaintext over small talk with rainbow colours and newsprint typefaces.
- lpcustom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6don't forget about the "old man pretending to be an asian 18yr old" which is who the old sleezy men are giving the kisses and hugs to.
- riomx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Hmmm maybe I hung out in IRC channels too long ago...but I always remembered the most annoying personalities on IRC being the power-hungry ***** ops that banned for absolutely no ***** reason. Also, another was the n00b who kept asking to be opped over and over and over and over again.
- 10goto10, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Where's the "always an unfunny 'connection reset by peer'-spoof message when leaving a channel"-guy?
* 10goto10 (10goto10@digg.com) Quit ("Off to reset Peer's connection") - psevium, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Thinking blogspot isn't known for it's servers going down..
- codeninja42, on 10/10/2007, -7/+12real IRC users use linux, duh... plus i couldn't really think of another section to put it in
- FLAESHAL, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6you know, it's really past your bedtime right now.
- Starks, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6What about the run of the mill "*****" personality?
- Unbalanced, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I just find it funny he/she writes about elitists without being apologetically elitist. Furthermore, he/she can't distinguish the difference between "you're" and "your" .. yeah, yeah .. I know .. being the grammar police on "teh internets" is like being Gargamel thinking he can defeat the Smurfs.
- lpcustom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5yeah you mean like MySpace huh? lol
- LordofShadows, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I think you mean allsome.
- Spr0k3t, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Deep down inside "robert_deneero" is upset with having to pay for another program to register in order to use IRC. Lest we not forget the petabytes of DCCing that he could do.
- ToastPop, on 04/17/2009, -6/+10Because linux/unix users are the only ones nerdy enough to still use IRC.
- nandasunu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4xchat is on windows and osx too...
- GMorgan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4No there are men and men pretending to be girls. Occasionally (not on digg) you get the man's girlfriend infiltrating his web connection but it is rare and punishment is usually severe.
- LordofShadows, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7Buried for being young... take that!
- venom8599, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3From TFA: "and makes sure that you know you're 20 years of programming experience mean nothing"
- codeninja42, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5oh.. hmmm yea you're right. I'm sorry. I'll do it next time
- Kyouto, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3This one is far too common on irc to be a certain personality. ***** everybody I know on irc is an irc abuser (except the ops, of course... ops are always right.)
- LordofShadows, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Yeah! What about starks!
- LordofShadows, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I had one guy tell me about his miniature hobby, complete with pictures from his last project, (he made his office at work) quite weird.
- Spr0k3t, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3yeah, the text should have been green or amber. Old hat.
- 808kick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2dug down for winfag
- GMorgan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Bollocks to that. It should have been black on black. Only 1337 people who are able to interpret the code directly should be allowed to view this site.
- yingjai, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4burried for lameness
