    It's retarded and those people that haven't realised that it stopped being funny some time ago should not be allowed to waste others time.
    A forum is about people discussing things and finding out new information. These useless links to garbage add nothing to a discussion and should be treated the same as spamming or trolling.

    He is referring to my link here.
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=56420860&postcount=30

    Which to be fair is a Diablo 3 related work of genius.

    Some people don't know when to let things die.
    The same plank posted the same video in two different forums:

    I totally agree. I even tried to push things back to topic, but I was sadly unsuccessful.

    I don't think jumpy was rick rolling anyone. That appears to be a PR stunt by Blizzard that jumpy was showing people, that was on the Blizzard site.

    I thought it was a good one as well.

    My point was that you were the one that took things off topic in the first place. And if you're so worried about "someone losing the rag" then why post something in such a way that you know it's going to annoy people? As I said in the thread, it would've been fine if you had labelled the link as "Diablo 3 rick roll" then anyone interested in this hilarious phenomenon could've watched it if they wished.

    No 'so-called' about it, as far as I can see?

    I'm pretty sure 0:38 at a second or two after it has gone on to be a successful fetish website.

    You know you can get a firefox plugin now that tracks all potential rickrolls and warns you with an icon beside the link. pointless but cool.

    I've gotten caught a few times but I haven't been bothered by them. Some of them have been funny depending on how and when they were used.

    Except for the one that was a rick-rolling browser-hijack, which really pissed me off no end.

    That one should have a nice site ban attached to it. Ok, maybe a month forum ban instead.

    Strange when I looked at that page absolutly nothing happened. Might be something to do with having NoScript installed.
