Blankfist Reaches Galaxy

Blankfist has been a member for over six years and has a rich and interesting past on this community. Some of you may not know that he created the VideoSift digital crossword puzzle which was a really cool program that he coded all on his own. Many would say Blankfist is a polarising figure on the Sift - I'd agree, but his contributions are undeniable and I would like to sincerely thank him for all of his work and enrichment of the Sift over the years.

Here's to you Blankfist - congratulations on reaching Galaxy!

With apologies to Neil Diamond:

Excellent song. Well-written and nicely performed. Fabulous feline flatus.

@blankfist - welcome back and congrats on achieving Galaxy. You've always been a quality contributor and one heck of a fire-starter. It's about time you took this job seriously.

This is great news. Now you can take a break from all the sifting and spend even more time paying prostitutes to watch you cry yourself to sleep. Isn't achievement great?

blankfist says...

Believe me, I cherish this video often. It's something fairly spectacular.

And thanks to everyone for the kind words!!

Great job with the song Dag! Is there a better milestone to achieve anywhere on the net? I doubt it.
I hope you're happy blanky!

Congratulations to both Dag and Lucky for fostering one of the most devisive and vindictive assholes to the highest echelon of the VidoeSift community.

As much as I actually get along with BF, the fact that someone can cause as much shit, as many sock puppet accounts, and attack as many people in this community is the absolute #1 reason why VS has become a back, back, back, back burner for me when I'm incredibly bored and looking to waste time when even TMZ, which is a repository that I find incredibly dull, has been exhausted.

I guess the 10bucks a month or whatever is now a great reason to allow users to abuse other members and the guidlines themselves, over and over and over again.

So, have fun VS.

And before anyone can jump in, yes, I'm really sure I'll be such a big deficit for this community going forward. So, save it, folks. We all come and go and noone's important to any community unless you're devoting your own time for free, or actual money. So, whatever.

"Dear People Who Make The Effort To Write In A Comment Thread That They're About to Un-Follow Me Just Before They Un-Follow Me:

Since I was never aware you were following me in the first place and didn't care to begin with, wouldn't it be more of an insult, to me, if it WASN'T worth the effort for you to inform me of your impending action? If you just clicked 'un-like' and went on with your busy, full, active life off of the internet?

The opposite of love is indifference. Hate is the clothing love wears when it's feeling lonely and mean."

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

So what's a Blankfist thread without a little outrage and controversy.

I've never understood why people feel the need to take a dump on a community on the way out the door.

If I was a Christian, I'd turn the other cheek - but I'm not and I'm feeling particularly onery today.

So in that vein - good fucking riddance volumptuous - you're not making things better. Maybe you'll get a badge on Reddit for taking a shit on their community.

And now you may return to your regularly scheduled program of a bunch of people re-posting shit they saw on Reddit.


VIEL SPAS!

bareboards2 says...

Oh dear.

Just so it is clear... according to volumptuous's profile page, he requested to have his account disabled. Dag didn't ban him.

The post above might give the impression that dag banned him. It did me.

Not true. Whew.

chingalera says...

Damn Volumpt...saw yer poignant plea for divisive assholes and got here as fast as I could!! (I'm a bit thick, remind me again, what rule he broke expressing what seemed to this a-hole, a quite righteous consternation?)

Dear People Who Create a Crinkle in My Particular Pet Peeve With Regard To Site Functionality Relative To A Civil Framework Of Communication:

Myynah, mnyas, nyah (hands on hips and with self-righteous defensive demanor and suitable pout and eye-roll), furthermore, because you, and I dindn't nyah, and myah muh blerp, durka, durka, durka, Mohammed Ghihad!"

Congrats catfart, make it real this go-round and step out into something besides some dooty?
