Trolls And Trolling

Everyone that has been on the Internet long enough has come across a troll. Trolling is a hobby for some people. Trolls come in many different varieties and personalities. If you are unfamiliar with trolls I will explain a bit about them.

When someone is referred to as a troll online it is because of their interactions with others. A troll likes to cause as much irritation as possible. The goal of trolling is to upset other people and really get under their skin. This is what trolls will feed on.

Some breeds of troll love negative attention. They thrive off of making others angry and act uncivilized. Other trolls will just argue with someone for the sake of arguing and then call the person names or "flame them". These trolls love making references to peoples mothers and seem to be the most mentally challenged of the species.

There are also "expert" trolls as well who think they know everything and argue with everyone. They have a very high perception of their intelligence to the point where they truly believe they are smarter than anyone else. These expert trolls tend to be the most opinionated and ignorant of the bunch.

You also have the bitter complaining trolls who whine about everything. They are perpetual victims yet get very aggressive and violent if they are challenged. Give them $100 and they will complain it is not $1k.

Spam trolls will fill a chat or forum with gibberish and completely disrupt any decent conversations going on. These trolls are starved for attention and often the most immature of the troll family. Usually this is done by teens and pre-teens. Their actions do make them look to be around 7 or 8 years old.

Many more troll species exist and can be found lurking in forums and games, pretty much anywhere there is a large online community. The one thing they all have in common is they crave attention and like to make people lose their tempers.

Since these trolls work so hard for their attention I have started making special awards just for them to show how much we all care. You can suggest an award or use one of the existing ones to award your favorite troll for their efforts. Check it out. There is even a short story!

Place For Writers




For many years I have not found a decent place for writers. Quality places for writers seem to be in very short supply. My quest came to an end when I discovered HubPages. I even saw that I could make money using HubPages simply by doing what I enjoy to do anyways, writing.

If you have never heard of this site I will try to explain some of the benefits you may encounter there.

When I was first looking at Hubpages I was quickly drawn in by how easy using the site appeared to be. As I read on the more appealing it became. The site seemed to have a professional standard to it and a great layout. After joining I found all of this to be true. The ease of creating a great hub had me hooked in no time.

Learning new techniques daily, I began to gain a glimpse of the community there. What I found left me feeling excited to say the least. The Hubber community is one of the friendliest and most helpful group of adults I have come across online. They are very welcoming and a supportive place for writers. Asking for advice is encouraged as well as learning how to achieve your best content potential. So many writers at Hubpages take pride in their work and strive for excellence, just as I do so I grew comfortable almost immediately.

An excellent community of writers comes with a bonus at Hubpages. I now have the ability to do what I love and earn an exceptional income as a result. There are many Hubs from experienced Hubbers readily available, sharing their secrets for success to help you get started.

I write more for the enjoyment of expression the artform provides than profit. Many Hubbers feel the same way as I do. With such a large variety of topics, forums, and questions to ask and answer I have yet to run out of entertaining and educational material to read at Hubpages. Making friends who share your interests is also very easy to accomplish while you are there.

Overall I feel at home within the Hubpages community and have met many interesting writers from all walks of life. I plan to continue publishing my work in this place for writers and interacting with the wonderful people for many years to come. Who knows I might even make a decent living while having fun.

Join HubPages and see if you feel the same way I do. It is free so you have nothing to lose and might just end up gaining as I have. If you found this post informative or useful please share it with anyone else who loves to write using the buttons below.

Improving Your Sound Quailty For Your Videos

I just published a hub showing a technique I use to make my Youtube Videos Sound better. Took me 7 hours to make and now I have a massive headache =\ The time I spent was worth it though and soon I will have a new video out to go right along with the explanation.

Some people think you can only get exhausted from physical activity. If you use your mind enough the same effect can be felt. Hopefully I will sleep decently tonight at least lol.

How To Build A Home Recording Studio

Recently I posted a hub article about how to build a studio at home. I went into detail for each of the components and provided some prices. So far it has only cost $750 and I bought a part at a time thanks to donations from some family.Personal audio studios can be much cheaper depending on what you want.

My home studio setup consists of the PC I had before a midi keyboard controller, audio interface and some mo monitoring headphones. All I need now is a mic then I will have a decent DAW (digital audio workstation) personal studio that suits all my recording needs and production needs.

If you would like to see how easy and affordable it is to make your own audio studio Check out my Article.
