  • Well, Im probably behind in FFXi but...

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>On the internet, people use the term "troll" to describe a person who makes comments which have the primary purpose of inciting an argument. For example, if I went to a message board that I know was filled with evolutionary biologists and said "Evolution is only a theory, it hasn't been proved, and the fossil record has too many gaps to suppor it," that would be trolling. (Don't bother refuting that statement, I know it's garbage.)

We do not mean that you are literaly a troll, some sort of fantasy creature that lives under bridges. This is not a term we made up, it's in widespread use on the internet. In fact, the dictionary defintion of the word supports the common internet use:<blockquote>troll
v. trolled, troll·ing, trolls
v. tr.<ol><li><ol><li>To fish for by trailing a baited line from behind a slowly moving boat.
<li>To fish in by trailing a baited line: troll the lake for bass.
<li>To trail (a baited line) in fishing.</ol><li>Slang. To patrol (an area) in search for someone or something: “ [Criminals] troll bus stations for young runaways” (Pete Axthelm).</ol></blockquote></div>
