The Delvesdeep Disorder
The urge to take a perfectly good adventure path and modify it so thoroughly that only the name of the town and a few key NPC's remain. Then posting everything on these boards.
And she post in her sleep too guys, WOW!I'm asleep!Uh Oh, something must be wrong! It's been 6 hours since Solnes posted last! Quick send someone out to look for her...

The guy who helped discover DNA?
He's a poodle. He can only do your leg...This was not as easy I thought it would be. There is a fine line between a good ribbing and just insulting.Oh, Oh! Then, do me!
I thought that CourtFool was a Llama? :P
"There are lines?" We dance in them down here.
But I could never learn to color in them...
The Lurker Fallacy:
The mistaken belief that powerful thread necromancy and the ability to kill topics with a word are important enough to make one an elder evil. Instead the lurker is merely an elder annoyance.
The Lucinda Fallacy:
A swarm of jellyfish float through the red, a pretty luminescent shade of green, and with tentacles poisonous enough to paralyse a kraken.
A swarm of trilobites scuttle along in their wake, scavenging creatures dropped by the jellyfish.
A pretty woman in dark robes with a hood pulled well up over her face watches the aquatic ballet.

The Fryer Theorum No thread will stay on topic for more than one page because of A) some ill informed rant about why whatever is being discussed is wrong which results in everyone beating up the troll, B) someone making a joke at the expense of the topic, or C) CourtFool.
Sometimes A, B and C are accomplished in the same post.
But a flame war inevitably leads to smürf which is about the same thing as CourtFool.

The Gavgoyle Differential Range: A value range expressed as the difference between: the amount you want to be a good and valued member of the boards who posts concise and well thought out responses; the amount the battle between short attention span and verbosity allows you to post that is germaine to the topic; and the amount of input that is inserted by the snarky or puckish (or dickish) sense of humor possesed by the poster. It is heavily weighted toward the latter.

Unless the thread in question involves the GSL, Dungeon and Dragon magazines, or what technically count as different editions of D&D in which case it may well stay on topic but descend into a flame war at some point.
Flame wars tend not to be on topic. They very quickly devolve into one side accusing the other of sucking and the other side accusing them of being a noob.

I thought that was an Internet Law.
