Speed...yes, I've got it. I had noticed the term used here and on VRF and just wasn't sure what it meant. I've got it now. Thanks, guys.

These pathetic creatures have such unfulfilled lives the only way they can confirm there sorry existence is by boasting continually about their achievements and their 'stuff they own or fantasy own or knocking the main forums themes like TRF Rolex watches,but mainly trying to get there so much needed attention.

Most Bragger Trolls are socially inept, and disliked by everyone they come into contact with. With no friends and limited social outlets, they throw themselves into their work. Eventually this takes over their lives, resulting in a total imbalance between work and play. With little else to talk about except their job or business or how wonderful and great they are, they fill their conversations with tales of promotion, brokering hugely important business deals, their powerful contacts and most importantly the fantastic amount of stuff that they own,and how much its worth etc or they mostly own on fantasy island.

Many of these sad individuals have reached perhaps middle age, with the best years behind them and little to look forward to. They cling to past glories, countlessly retelling the same sad stories over and over again.
Unable to come to terms with the fact that people are living far more fulfilling lives than they are. They find solace in continually sometimes, reminding everyone of their material wealth, and perceived social status. Seemingly unaware that boasting of their amazing business acumen, or their 'stuff' or faults with stuff. Results in them being perceived as an even bigger A-h#le, they further isolate themselves from society with their pointless c~ck waving grandeur,and endless moaning of minuscule faults,and of repeat after repeat of pointless posting mainly on the same subject.

Eventually these sad specimens are shunned by society altogether; and thats the way it should be. But in the late 90's a revolution took place that meant the natural order of things was disturbed. Now some of these revolting individuals trolls have found respite in the Internet, and can be found inhabiting message and forum boards. Here they can brag knock and troll, to their hearts content. Safe in the knowledge that they have a captive audience bound by the unwritten laws of etiquette, that stifles most other forums. But not on TRF, this is a fun place to hang out,with fine members,and thats the way we want it kept completely troll free.

Now in this fertile environment the bragger or product knocker troll, thinks he has found acceptance at long last. Drunk on the heady fumes of their ill perceived Camaraderie, the ego inflates to enormous proportions. All negative comments are now met with an unerring sense of esteem and self righteousness. Spurned on with success, some of them even go on to design their own websites,mainly about themselves, and how wonderful and great they are,or think they are.

Eventually the Bragger product knocker troll, no longer inhabits the realms of reality. He has become an entity so vile and detestable that his very essence makes people recoil and vomit, so lets keep TRF, the happy friendly fun place, and bragger,product Knocker,and completely troll free in 2012.


I'm sure we all know, or knew at least one troll.
No disrespect to anyone past or future on TRF.

x 1,000,000,000. This is sticky material!


For clarity.....would it be similar/akin to someone who would use a link in their sig line as a way to showcase what they have?

Or every post they include some way of referring to their possessions (or debt)/their status (perceived)?

How about every post (regardless of the thread) having a "look-at-me" element to it??


I'm starting to think I've seen a troll....(No disrespect to any trolls)

Sad thing is that these great posts above are most likely incomprehensible to those whom they most relevantly refer.
