    Relating an allotment to the Middle East was a good un.

    Why are you so focused on ‘most’ ‘least’ ‘richest’ etc type threads?

    For objective analysis we’d need to know for certain that the motivation of the poster was purely to create controversy and/or antagonism as opposed to an honestly held opinion that happens to stir shit.

    The term troll is regularly misapplied on here when people simply disagree with a contentious, controversial or different opinion.

    The biggest ones would go unnoticed as a troll thread, a good troll isn’t obvious.

    I’m with Jekkyl on this one. The shutting of the forum for update was a master stroke.

    Back in the days between Half-Life 1 and 2, the pre-release hype over 2 was stratospheric. Everyone wanted an interview with Valve, and better if Gabe was there.

    Valve were careful in who they let see the game, and journos had an hour in a room with a rep and a dev from Valve to see the game in action. Some hands-on was permitted. Lots of copy-cat reviews started to appear in print.

    At the time, I occasionally contributed articles to a now defunct online video gaming ‘magazine’, who’d been denied access to experience this fabled Valve HL2 demo. Tried and tried, but they just weren’t big enough.

    The mag was peeved. I offered to write up a sort of prank review. The premise was that I’d been allowed to play the last level. My description and narrative of it, for those who had long memories of video gaming, would have led the reader to realise by the end of the page that I had described a 3D FPS version of Donkey Kong, where Freeman was Mario.

    It essentially sent up the ending of HL1, which was a ‘how high can you try?’ pixel-perfect jump-fest and a very incongruous addition to an otherwise excellent game.

    The editor, who was as long in the tooth as I was, thought it was hilarious and ran it.

    Gabe Newell/Valve PR didn’t like it. Neither did all the puzzled, expectant fans. Neither did the editor, when the backlash began….

    I was never asked to contribute again.

    I have no interest in bivi and have never been ill.,,,

    Just saying…

    But apart from the Jerusalem allotment surely the biggest troll didn’t actually happen here but was a MN incursion

    just enjoyed reading the allotment thread again, made all the better by the people claiming that it was historically inaccurate and that Hitler has nothing to do with the creation of the situation.

    Hooked a few big fish that day.

    I remember WCAs thread about swapping his wife for a newer model. Anyone who knows him knows this will never happen but he had most of the forum hook, line and sinker if I recall correctly. 🙂

    Having just spotted a thread with troll written all over it.

    Is it worth separating quality trolling with just being a **** prick?

    Both categories deserve a top 10 awards.

    I trolled the Guardian once after taking inspiration from Quagmire.

    https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/nov/25/sexual-healing-no-sex-retaliation

    “I don’t know, Peter. If you have sex with her, you give her all the power. If you don’t have sex with her, you’re gay. You can’t win.” – Quagmire

    To this day, I like to wind up my oldest friend, a marxist Oxford graduate by telling him I got published in the Grauniad before he did.

    Is it worth separating quality trolling with just being a **** prick?

    This. Most people do not appreciate the art of a good troll.
