Transformers Wiki talk:Community Portal/The Funny

THE FUNNY STAYS. -The Management

A kid's game
Does it seem to you that this wikia seems a bit too...casual? Jokes are littered all over the text and most notably, in picture captions. It's not bad or anything, just seems informal and uncomfortable. And it seems like my username carries over to other wikias, yet not this one. Would that mean this is not an "official side wiki?" Then again, my username only carries on two wikias...but I've only checked five wikias in terms of my username, not counting wikipedia itself...but the other one that doesn't have my username is definitely a strange branch of the .wikia.coms...though it is probably the best wikia I've ever seen.


 * That... has been questioned over and over. The site is written in various required factor with relax style in captions and several articles. informal and uncomfortable? It depend on users' feeling. As for the username, this happens to me in another wikia few months before. That might be related to the system bug. -- TX55   TALK  03:19, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

I kinda enjoy the humor on this site, I say yes to humor, no to spoilers, false information, and using another user's ID, as long as It's not bad I don't have a problem with it.--Razorstrike 03:11, 2 May 2009 (UTC)Razorstrike

Image captions

 * ''Moved from Talk:Main Page

I don't find them funny and I bet not many people do. I have been on many wikis and I have never seen one like this. It has good content but what is with the captions?  Chester  Talk  15:14, 18 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Welcome to the minority group. The rules say that "the funny stays", so there's no changing that. Be sure to check out pages like the Blasty Zone and the Liar Starscream to see just how 'funny' we can be. --Sabrblade 21:46, 18 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I love the funny. And on a different note I have only ever been on TFWiki.net once in my life, as opposed to being here EVERY DAY. And Transformers IS serious business yo. This reply to several topics brought to you by The Kaotikons, led by KaotikusNemesis 01:34, 19 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I laughed more at the end of Titanic.  Chester  Talk  17:24, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * So did I, but I'm a sadistic evil entity bent on the persecution and destruction of all sentient beings. Anyway, to quote 'The Management': "THE FUNNY STAYS.", and besides, if it hurts you so bad, just remember, "We only gain wisdom through suffering, and tonight Teletraan-1, The Transformers Wiki, intends to make you very wise.--KaotikusNemesis 00:49, 22 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, that sounds very comforting[/sarcasm] --Sabrblade 01:21, 22 May 2009 (UTC)


 * You do realise that "The Management" has all left and gone to TFWiki.net, don't you? That pretty much means that "THE FUNNY STAYS" is up to the community. --Tetrap 09:58, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Heehee.--KaotikusNemesis 21:46, 22 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Whatever.  Chester  Talk  16:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)


 * ....Why'd you have to go and bring up a good point?....And put it above the previous statements? --KaotikusNemesis 10:24, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * If I'd put it at the bottom, it might have looked like I was replying to ChesterB or something. Wiki talk page threading can be so unclear at times. --Tetrap 12:19, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * By the way who is the managment, If you want to put stupid captions in you do that. Chester  Talk  12:23, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Well....I can't think of a good reason to keep it, but I still like the funny....Oh my god, Starscream, and Prowl just died. Downer. Sorry to change the subject, anyway, do whatever, it's all good. What?! What kind of lame ending was that?!--KaotikusNemesis 12:32, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * It's up to you how you want your wiki to look, even though you buthered a great topic.  Chester  Talk  13:18, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

The funny is staying, of course, in any way at any measure. It's always one of the unique style of the site. I know some people will say this is immature, stupid, juvenile, making the site informal, self-disrespecting (to the site) ...blah blah blah. BUT, the site is already formal since the Dinosaurs lived. Remove the funny? When the pig flies... and I'd consider, ya, only consider. -- TX55   TALK  14:04, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, the style would be unique if TFWiki.net wasn't also doing it. Thus meaning you have two wikis doing the exact same thing, which is completely pointless and useless.
 * It would be in the better interest of this wiki here to do things differently in order to, well, differentiate itself from TFWiki.net. It would also help attract more editors, as those folks who like the funny have almost all left to TFWiki.net. Meanwhile, there are a number of knowledgeable folks who didn't contribute to the original wiki because they disliked the funny, who would be willing to come back here and contribute if this wiki now took a more serious bent.
 * Keeping the funny does you no favors whatsoever. --96.240.213.187 15:01, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * As it is, a lot of the time "the Funny" just seems to encourage random site vistors to try to add their own attempts at "humor" to the captions, earning themselves a "caption bastard" template. --Tetrap 01:59, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Caption bastard isn't quite a problem. The real problems which the site is facing are those who don't know how to edit on Wiki system, those who were gave, new page bastard, upload bastard/  , or layout bastard. And last but not least, who don't know the rules/standards, such as scoop bastard, out-universe writting in the fiction section, non-official products, and those who post comments in the articles. These are the real problem what the site is facing. In short: Editors' quality. And I can't imagine what disasters will happen after the movie's premiere. -- TX55   TALK  03:21, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * But some is just so good....Like the Lebowski reference on G1 Beachcomber's page. Made me laugh to beat the band. Parts, anyway. I also just realized that I have never edited a caption.--KaotikusNemesis 02:19, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I have started a farely large conversation here, go me!  Chester  Talk  17:50, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Wait I have changed my mind I like some of the funny. "He has more guns than a smaller third-world country"  Chester  Talk  17:02, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
