YABU There are still some very elaborate troll threads on here that I totally believe are real.

You mean some trolls don't try hard

Rabbishes · 06/02/2015 23:17

Why cheapen troll-dom by trotting out crap threads? At least make everyone laugh!

VivaLeBeaver · 06/02/2015 23:18

I remember the good old troll days. Long, indepth stories of Zebrugge ferry disasters or crawling down hospital corridors to visit sick babies in NICU.

FarFromAnyRoad · 06/02/2015 23:22

Sheer idleness and a certain torpor of the imagination. I feel sorry for them - not only do they smell, have anal boils and suppurating pustules on their nipples but they're also double wank and shit chips at what they do!

PenguinsandtheTantrumofDoom · 06/02/2015 23:24

I can think of a recent mother of multiples who tried very hard. ..

emmelinelucas · 06/02/2015 23:27

Ahh yes the old trolls were the best. Zeebrugge and Mitmoo come to mind, but you knew where you were with them.
I mean, was anyone fooled, really ?
It's the timewasters that get to me. They are all take, take wth no entertainment at all.. It's fun catching them out, though.

IKnewYou · 06/02/2015 23:27

So many trolls. Sad It's really boring.

SistersOfPercy · 06/02/2015 23:27

Coat troll has amazed me. Of all the subjects to troll over why coats!?

Samcro · 06/02/2015 23:28

i think that is the problem.......there are too many

coats? what did they say? Confused

egnahc · 06/02/2015 23:30

Gosh i remember zeebruge- when was that

Samcro · 06/02/2015 23:30

Coats........ wtf how do you troll over that????

NormaLeeSane · 06/02/2015 23:32

The coat troll was just...madness. I understand that some people have fetishes (poo trolls etc), some people like to compete in the 'hilariously mortifying' incidents and then there are the sad (lonely?) people who invent relationship disasters.

But coats. WTAF?

HowCanIMissYouIfYouWontGoAway · 06/02/2015 23:35

hang on - coats?

Are they just opening a dictionary at a random page, closing their eyes and pointing? Whatever their finger lands on is the topic?

What a sad, sad little bastard you must have to be to find your entertainment by making up shit on the internet.

I know I've said it before but your average troll really needs some friends. Or a friend. Or a blow up friend.

SistersOfPercy · 06/02/2015 23:35

Im picturing someone sat at a computer, naked but for an old tatty duffel pawing at it with one hand and salivating over the next website with the other.

I refuse to try and picture poo troll Confused

SistersOfPercy · 06/02/2015 23:36

If you are quick coat thread still exists in chat. Zapped any moment though.

NormaLeeSane · 06/02/2015 23:37

It's still on chat, but soon to be removed. "Daughter was upset this evening"*

*Sorry, am 104 and can't do clicky link magic on these new fangled computer machines.

I like that one Samcro, it's inventive at least.

Bifauxnen · 06/02/2015 23:41

They don't need to try because of the anti troll-hunting rules. If we can't call out obvious bullshit what incentive do they have to put the effort in.

BallsforEarrings · 06/02/2015 23:44

I don't get it - what are troll threads and how do you know when one is?

Fatstacks · 06/02/2015 23:45

Dino one is a 8/10 for me.

The ground work and consistency are good.

bluelamp · 06/02/2015 23:45

I quite enjoyed the Dinodeniers this evening. Not looking forwardto half term though, there will be a whole heap of shite trolls about then.

bluelamp · 06/02/2015 23:47

SNAP! Grin
