The Ninja Burger Forum

"A loosely connected clique of internet social elitists with a variety of personality disorders and general lack of attention spans." - Nikkoru

If you can read through all this you'll more or less understand what Ninja Burger Forum is all about - and how to deal with us should you ever become or are already a member.

Remember people, it's the internet - have common sense before worrying about anything else.

__Kitten Champion's Guide to a Moron's Forum Survival__

1. We don't talk about Ninjaburger here. This isn't some twisted outgrowth of Fight Club mentality, it's just fact. Ninjaburger exists, it's all there for you to look at and laugh over at the main page. There's plenty of things on the topic of Ninjaburger, at the actual website, so don't come in here expecting discussions about deliveries, fast food, or anything else. We leave that to other websites who have yet to feel the warm, inviting kiss of a Ninjaburger link, so we're over it on the home front, and will make fun of you for talking about it.

2. We don't talk about martial arts here. There are lots of forums you can go to, if you would like a serious discourse on the best way to clean your haori or tie your hakama or study Niten-Ryu. If you decide to come here and talk about martial arts in a tone neither sarcastic nor ironis, we will make fun of you. If you have trouble finding a website with a forum where you can discuss lofty items such as these, here are people who will at least pretend to be nice to you about your stupidity and incapacity to open a Google window.

-Ninja Gremlin

Either of them will point you in the right direction, so you can leave the rest of us the hell alone.

3. We're not very active. You can pretty much count on one hand the number of people who show up regularly. This is because most of the people before you were idiots who didn't follow the first two rules, and because we do have lives outside of a gray box (most of us, anyway, I really don't). If you start to complain about there being so few people here to talk to, we will make fun of you. Your other option is to simply post so much stupidity it inundates the forum and makes you beloved, but in the same way there is a subtle difference between a lover's caress and a ten-man bukkake team, there is also a line between being stupid funny and being someone we'll end up not enjoying.

4. Roll with the conversation. This is a big thing is most forums, especially Ninjaburger. The conversation is very likely to be off-track by the second page, if not halfway through the first. As such, you have to condition yourself to the tone of the posts. Don't get half-cocked and angry at someone when they make a joke or observation you don't like. Unless everyone else is being a jerk, you shouldn't be one either. If you can't tell the difference, we will make fun of you or ignore you altogether. Spontanaeity is king here, a maddening king yes, but it's our king.

5. Be funny. (if you can - otherwise don't try) Usually we're all pretty much in joking moods here. Don't log on if you're going to start sermonizing or getting things involved that aren't funny, because we don't care about serious crap like that. There's enough serious horsefeathers out in the world beyond the gray and blue template of DER FORGE, and we don't need it here. Also, if you act serous or offended, we will make fun of you.

6. The Moderators Include;

-El Bandito

-Grey Knight

-Kitten Champion

-Nikkoru

-Ninja Gamer

-Shinku-san

-Sutenki

So, there are quite a few - especially considering there aren't that many active members in total. Some moderators (El Bandito, Nikkoru) are more helpful to new users than others.

It takes a considerable amount of work to be banned - moderators generally only request Aeon to ban if that person is clearly only there to advertise and spam endlessy - you have to truly and spectacularly fuck up to get sent home. They'll edit your posts and be funny about it, but they're basically pushovers as long as you aren't consistently an idiot to the point no one is liking it. As a matter of fact, the moderators here are especially easy-going due to the nature of the forum. So while you probably can screw around consistently and be a blistering asshole without getting thrown offstage by Sandman, it's best not to tempt them. They don't do much here anyway except have a title, so giving them an excuse to make the call puts a big sick grin on their faces.

7. Pictures good, words better. Eventually, you're going to discover the randomness and sheer bliss of the Google Image Search. And once you've popped your search cherry, you're going to want to show everyone here what you've learned. Unfortunately, we don't care. Random images are okay, especially if they tie in to whatever stupidity we're discussing at the moment, but if you starts posting just images, you will be made fun of, ignored, and told to go away while we talk about El Bandito's penis. The ONLY exception to this rule is cosplay, because frankly, seeing people dress up like Japanese cartoons is funny. Also, hot-girl cosplay is advocated and encouraged even more strongly. random Penny Arcade, 8-Bit Theatre, or other bastions of not-hot-girl-cosplay however, will usually be ignored. Also AIM chatlogs have never and will never be funny in any context outside of the people involved in it. This goes double for things you saw on TV, the internet, flash games, quizzes, and webcomics. These threads die fast and derail even faster.

8. Finally, if for some reason you've stayed here, weathered all the madness, whimsical brain-dead arguments, and so forth, long enough, you'll become one of us. There's no real hazing here, especially if you follow these rules not to be an idiot, you should have a very easy time here being accepted. Sure, we might like you eventually anyway, but following these rules makes it easier for you.
