You don't need to know them.

>>6
Goddamn the memes on here are so shitty and childish.

It is worth noting that while redcream is a shitposter, he is also a genius.

The real saviours are forgotten to the books of history.

What about Ron Penton, prolific author of game development books and piss-drinker?

Touhous - a collective term for anime girls in the Touhou game series
I was about to claim my Officially Trolled^TM certificate, but then I realized you were joking. Carry on, good sir.

>>10
Hi there, second spammer-kun! How was your day?

How about Derek Smart, PhD in troll video game development and googling himself?

>>12
good sir
trolled
Back to /g/.

What about Ron Penton, prolific author of game development books and piss-drinker?

Wait, you post here Ron? I actually know you from IRC.

>>14
Since when are ``good sir'' and ``trolled'' /g/ro lexicon?

I can shorten it to ``IHBT, almost'' if you want.

>>16
Ignore it.  The original "back to /g/" troll is a bot.  The person - and it is a person this time - who is trying so hard to offend you is emulating a non-player character.

>>17
Do I get a reward for shoving a rake up his ass? Maybe 5 Suss-shekels?

(But being serious, I understand him. We've been on the edge lately because there are some legitimate /g/ros here.)

>>10
That BBcode was EXPERT QUALITY

What about ``Anonymous'', notorious shitposter?

>>18
I could be a /g/ro and I could not be a /g/ro. All it takes is me to sage my post to disguise my self as a /frogger/

>>21
Not at all, /g/ros like to use sage as an insult.

le leapfrog face

>>2
Sic transit gloria mundi

What about ^{the ginger}, who was briefly a /prog/ celebrity?

>>25
I like hygienic ginger girls.

>>25
Unlike Symta, Croma Lisp didn't deliver. Why would he deserve a spot?

>>27
Because of his brief but intense fling with Labia Cleaver.

>>1
I don't think any list of /prog/ personalities would be complete without the inimitable Shanley "Duckface" Kane, PhD (BS), XD (magna cum laude).

What about Haxus the Great and Haskell the Dog?

>>30
Haxus the Great - memetic poster

>>1
You forgot Luke Yallop.

Good thing he hasn't posted the past few days.

What about {b Krueger}? He was way more important during his brief stay than the lounge trolls were while using their tripcodes.

>>33
He's too busy sucking Yannick's dick to post here.

>>34
va le fairy enculer face

What about ur mom, OP?

>>33
Va t'enculer Yannick fils de pute.

>>2
I cried.

lel-kun is a very recent addition and too minor to worth a mention. I would add his humor isn't ironic as such, but just very aggressive sarcasm. Although he does have a point with some of his posts, his entire contribution to the board is completely detrimental. I would know as I have been resurrecting dead threads here for years now.

>>38
Agreed.  Lel-kunt himself has expressed remorse for his actions.

Don't forget HMA MEME FAN!
