More Randomness from the abyss of my head
Well, I was sitting on the shitter(Sorry to put those nasty images in your head), and thought "You know, I haven't posted anything on my blog lately..." so here I am. I couldn't think of anything too informative to say, other than that I got in to thinking about BYOND more on the shitter, and realized that BYOND is really split in to quite a few groups. They go as follows:
-DBZ noobs/newcomers: These people tend to be the ones who come to BYOND to play the usual ZETA rip. They tend to not use any grammar. That's about all you can say about them.
-Semi-noobs: These tend to be the people who realize that there's more to BYOND than just ZETA rips. They tend to have a tidbit of grammar usage(e.g. - They actually use punctuation and/or spell out words like "you" or "people").
- Normal BYONDers: These users tend to be coming out of their cocoon as grammar Nazi's. You can tend to see them playing non-DBZ games, and tend to be the lower, to middle ranked users on icon utilities
-Semi-1337 users: These tend to be the people who have become grammar Nazi's, and have become regulars on icon utitlities, who also tend to pop in to games like wiz_chat or Converse from time to time(I'm probably at this stage).
- The 1337 ones: These tend to be the people who hang around wiz_chat and Converse 24/7. They are almost always grammar Nazi's, and are liked by close to everyone that comes in to chatting utilities.(e.g. DeathAwaitsU, Elation, etc.)
Now, not everyone follows that ladder of people. Hell, I could be way off. I just really needed to throw something on my blog. Oh, and on a side note: Wal-Mart is ridding of all of their Snack Bars.

Thanks to Mobius, we have a few more classes to throw in, as quoted from his comment
The anti-icon-game class: typically happens right after the stage you've labeled "The 1337 ones"; they move to stay on chat games such as wiz_chat and join all the others in bashing the genre.
The posers: newbies to BYOND who stalk people like Lummox JR looking to mingle with some of the best BYOND has to offer. Typically they retain their bad grammar and spelling habits, but after some time they pick up the aforementioned from the guru they stalk.
The "it's simple" class: users who developed an inferiority complex after being correctly told by Lummox that their DM programming ability is much worse than they thought it was. They stalk the forums and spout all sorts of incorrect, terribly coded and content-devoid answers to anything they believe they know the answer to.
The "too awesome to be bound by rules" class: people like digitalmouse who use improper grammar but are immune to the wrath of the grammar nazis.
