My money is that it's some Demi-God in joke. Personally I like it.

[r.j.s]

You've noticed those too? They've been following me everywhere for days.

[TuffLuffJimmy]

I noticed it too. I think it's pretty funny.

[Love]

Yeah, I noticed them coming in to my posts too. :confused:

[thegoldenmackid]

Wow, there is some royalty in here: 2 Six-Oh-Ones, a Six-Oh-Four and Demis.

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

[The Californian]

They are pretty funny, maybe a puzzle of some sorts? But none of them are as funny, or as puzzling as your drunk post from the other day Duke, haha.

[niuniu]

Some stupid in-joke that we're not cool enough to be a part of..

[iBlue]

Trivia?!


Some stupid in-joke that we're not cool enough to be a part of..

Maybe it's a bit of fun. Not that I'd know.

As you were...

[RedTomato]

I'm not sure either. Should we complain to Arn?

[themoonisdown09]

Some stupid in-joke that we're not cool enough to be a part of..

I think they are called out-jokes. Maybe not.

[niuniu]

I think they are called out-jokes. Maybe not.

Well, whatever it is I'll be damned if it happens on my watch again

[Padraic]

Drawing on my fine command of the language, I said nothing.

I think it's hilarious... I wish some people had the command of language that the quoted has... :D

[The Californian]

I think it's hilarious... I wish some people had the command of language that the quoted has... :D

Wait a sec ... You're a Demi and you didn't have a random edit line quote, I smell something funny.

[Padraic]

I just noticed that... It may be that I don't post that often...

I do more reading than posting. By the time I get around to reading a post there's usually a ton of replies either answering the original poster or saying the same thing I'd have said.

[dmmcintyre3]

I'v noticed it too.

Wonder what causes it?

Mine on my 1000th post said "Post 1000!" and that is when it started...

[iMacmatician]

I haven't seen them until I opened this thread…maybe I just haven't been noticing them.

[benflick]

So you're not intentionally doing it?:cool:

[dmmcintyre3]

So you're not intentionally doing it?:cool:

We do not.

[thegoldenmackid]

This thread has to be locked now. I'll Call 007.

[BittenApple]

oh god. i sense a fad.

[dukebound85]

oh god. i sense a fad.

why do i sense some are now editing their posts

yea im talking to you non demis lol

[spillproof]

I like them. Is that bad?

[Ntombi]

I've been noticing it for a few days now, and I think it's hilarious. :) At first I thought it was only one guy with a sense of humor editing his own posts like that, then I started noticing it more.

[jmann]

The little edits travel in swarms and strike when you aren't paying attention.. ;)

[TuffLuffJimmy]

ugh I'm tempted to pay the $25 just to see what is going on.

[TuffLuffJimmy]

Be wary, some that go in, never come back out. ;)

Look at that. You forgot to edit your post ;)

[Love]

I think Arn is just pulling some random mid-June fools joke on us.

[TuffLuffJimmy]

I think Arn is just pulling some random mid-June fools joke on us.

I doubt that. ;) noting Jmann's current edit.

[Love]

Security has been compromised by Jmann. Ban Jmann or run for your lives!

[The Californian]

Uh oh... Someone ruined it. Haha

[sushi]

I think Arn is just pulling some random mid-June fools joke on us.
Who's arn?

[dmmcintyre3]

Who's arn?

The site owner

PS: I was waiting for someone to ask this question (not who is arn the question that this thread was started for)

[sushi]

The site owner
You took the bait. :p

[JNB]

I've been noticing them, too. It's beginning to make me wonder exactly what's up.

[MacNut]

I've been noticing them, too. It's beginning to make me wonder exactly what's up.It has to be a conspiracy of some sort.

[Rt&Dzine]

I first noticed them on June 4 to be exact. I responded to one of the post edits with what I thought was a clever retort. Now I realize they had no idea what I was talking about. :p

[The Californian]

Okay, if by reading this thread people haven't figured it out, they probably never will. I say we close the thread and let the little minds spin. Haha

[benflick]

You know?

[TuffLuffJimmy]

You know?

It's a funny thing some of the demigods are doing. That's it.

[Rt&Dzine]

Well, they are pretty darn clever. Cleverer than the posts. :p

[Unprocessed1]

Uhh I hope the mods are getting paid...otherwise they have a lot of free time on their hands.

[kainjow]

Uhh I hope the mods are getting paid...otherwise they have a lot of free time on their hands.

The mods aren't involved with this at all...

[JNB]

It's a funny thing some of the demigods are doing. That's it.

Or are having done to us.

[TuffLuffJimmy]

Or are having done to us.

:rolleyes:

I don't care the reasoning (although I know it's not being done to you), but I do enjoy it.

[Unprocessed1]

So who is editing the posts? I feel like a complete idiot now.

[dmmcintyre3]

What is the plug in called that does this?

[Eidorian]

Uhh I hope the mods are getting paid...otherwise they have a lot of free time on their hands.Why have a person do it when a script can? :D

[Nukemkb]

Post count race?

[Unprocessed1]

Why have a person do it when a script can? :D

Wow...that's pretty interesting. How is it triggered then? Wouldn't someone have to create the script?

[TuffLuffJimmy]

Why have a person do it when a script can? :D

I don't think it's a script (although it may be) since jmann gave it away and then deleted his posts.

[The Californian]

What is the plug in called that does this?


I think it's the Demi forum plug in. I think the root program is insidejoke.dmg

[Unprocessed1]

This entire revelation is extremely disturbing. :o

[thegoldenmackid]

Uhh I hope the mods are getting paid...otherwise they have a lot of free time on their hands.

Seriously. Get to work. My posts are being edited for no reason?

[Unprocessed1]

Seriously. Get to work. My posts are being edited for no reason?

This is BS. :(

[thegoldenmackid]

This is BS. :(

Can we email arn. sorta like when you e-mail Steve because this is horrible, just destroys all the credibility of this sight...

[Unprocessed1]

Looks like you guys have found another mark.

What are you talking about?

[The Californian]

This is BS. :(


Looks like you guys have found another mark.

[iBlue]

Goodness, why so serious? Is there a shortage of foil for hat making purposes or something? Ever think that maybe people just like to have a bit of fun? I assure you, nothing deep and sinister is going on. Lighten up, folks.

[Ntombi]

Right! It's just a bit of fun. :)

[The Californian]

What are you talking about?


What I really wanna know, is how did he quote and reply to my post before my post?

[TwinCities Dan]

;) :p

[The Californian]

;) :p


Haha... Best picture comment ever. TC Dan is nuts.

[RedTomato]

I'm getting extremely upset with these senseless and random edits. It's making us all demi-gods look like fools.

Please can whoever is doing it just STOP!!!!

[ziggyonice]

Hahaha, awesome.

[The Californian]

Yah RT, you get my vote for the best edit yet. Hahaha, and the faux-seriousness of your post goes perfectly with it.

[Unprocessed1]

So are people editing their own posts or not?

[kainjow]

So are people editing their own posts or not?

Yes. "Last edited by RedTomato" means RedTomato edited his post. If a mod (such as me) would have edited it, it would have said "Last edited by kainjow".

[Unspoken Demise]

TheMoonIsDown has the best edits. I noticed his before any one elses.

[benflick]

TheMoonIsDown has the best edits. I noticed his before any one elses.

Yeah, it seems he was one of the first.

[Rt&Dzine]

Shoot! I'm impressed. How can all of you come up with such good ones that fast? And so many of them have a similar style.

Noticed TheMoonIsDown first too. Thought he had gone loco. I laughed at the one in this thread by JNB about the corn flakes taste salty.

[The Californian]

TheMoonIsDown has the best edits. I noticed his before any one elses.

Yah, I wanna say I noticed his over a week before I noticed anyone elses.
