I find it somewhat amusing. If I was on here more, I could see it getting old though.

Never once thought it was funny.

ETA: Throw "Germans" in there as well.

I don't even see people post that in threads anymore (unless the topic is totally egregious, e.g. "Should I let my girlfriend PIIMB?")
Seems like its become one of those phenomena where it only exists when annoying people start threads about it

oh you don't? Do a fricking post search on beta and see how often it pops up today alone, not including this thread.

I just don't see how people who post it think they're actually being witty or funny

So, how many fedoras are in your closet, BilJ?

And y'all need to lighten up. It's a message board, don't get so bent out of shape about things.

seems like every few months here something catches on from reddit and posters here just unmercifully beat it into the fricking ground.

and some comedian will now reply to this thread "you beta"




Worst thing I've ever seen on the OT (the beta crap).

I used to feel this way, but if it makes the entire site less palatable because it's everywhere, it can be detrimental.

It's different than a bad poster, because they can't be everywhere at once, but this bad joke is everywhere...
