It's pretty hilariously accurate. I'm on a couple of other communities, and I've encountered almost all of those, except for the person that screams, FIRST!

Oh whew! I thought this was going to be another crazy rant calling us socio- and psychopaths.

LOL! No way!

I saw this awhile ago. It's funny.

I see FIRST! On a lot of facebook stuff, or on lamebook.

I love this. Who posted it originally? I'm having a mental block.

I think we even polled to see which knottie went where, but I could be making that up.

That would be really interesting. Hmm.

I'm cleary the Smarty Pants.

Had to read and comment. I loved reading this. Which one are you? (If you didn’t discuss already.) Um, obviously, I’m a god-like #7 (I kid). Peace!

I saw this when it was posted a while ago, but I don't remember who posted it.  I see 'FIRST' more on the comments section of websites like lamebook and collegehumor.com, but I've definitely seen it.

I am a freak I guess, on any given day I can be any one of these

Well, if you want a first-hand experience with "FIRST," visit the WoW forums.  It's painful over there whenever a Blue (Blizzard Employee) posts.

vallyhoo

FIRST!

oops... I mean...

PSYCHOPATH!

Ditto Moose.  The WoW forums were notorious for every one of those stereotypes.  I hardly ever got any useful information about the game from those boards, but there were always good for a few laughs.

I would say I'm between a moderator and an antagonist. I'm never too bitchy, but I try to be helpful, with a touch of sarcasm.
