80/80

If you guys thought the grammar police and turbonerds are bad today, they were literally 10x worse back then. I remember I met a dude on GameFAQs who hated acronyms and shorten words. I think it was an RPG board and I used POW for Power, MAG for Magic and LVL for level and so worth. The dude came in going HAM about how I'm a lazy dude not wanting to spell out the whole words and used sloppy typing instead. I told him to chill, that it was not a big deal and that even the game itself used shorten words like that. The dude went on about how it's only two more letters to type to get the full words so why was I so dumb and low in IQ that I was not able to type it. It was fucking awful. I asked him what website was we on and he said GameFAQs and I said WRONG we are on Game FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS spell it all out you lazy bum. Check mated that nerd.

Now a days slangs and sloppy typing is very well accepted which is a very good thing and turbonerds are heavily condemned these days.

Pretty sure that label gets more acceptance around here than you do. You claim this happened during the "early days of message boards", meaning early 2000's.
I see 2 options here:
A. You're still butthurt about being attacked for something trivial
B. Your "victory" is still of importance to you
Either way, that's just sad. It's been a decade.

just want to say message boards were around in the late 90's too. I used to post on AOL message boards back then. and if you want to get super technical, you can go way way back. I have tried to find again for a while and can't. but I once saw an archived message board from 1983, and conversation about the newly released Return of the Jedi. the internet is older than people think, it's just that it didn't become popular until the 2000's

No, I just realized I'm talking to a man in his 40's who literally calls strangers "bro", posts on a gaming site and recalls his "great victories" on turbonerds from decades ago. You have no sense of irony, why bother trying to explain?

Is this guy serious? Is he serious? Should we get serious here?

No it's not that serious. No need for the hostility. Calm down.
