The main trolls I can think of are NCF, MTrulz, Society, Art Modell, & Sleeper (who might actually be a good poster if he'd drop his lame "Ohio State is the greatest at everything" gimmick).
There are other kinds of posters who are annoying but I don't consider trolls. Some examples of these would be:
- complete idiots who actually believe the drivel that they spew (Gibby)
- people who have been rejected by society and come on to the internet to find acceptance, but then get pissed off when everybody on the internet hates them as well (that Mike Clark guy)
- Fanboys who are so obsessed with their favorite teams that they can't respond to any criticism of their team or positive comment about any other team without launching a flurry of f-bomb filled illogical comments (Ty Webb)
- Fictional characters created by one of the above, so that someone will agree with them for once in their sad, pathetic lives (Blanket)
- Mentally handicapped indivduals who somehow find the power within themselves to post on an internet message board. I forget the posters name, but one example of this was the guy who posted pictures of himself with Urban Meyer a few months ago. If I remember correctly it was when the Gator program held an event for people whose necks had ate their chins. These individuals are an inspiration for us all, and just by logging on to the internet they've overcame huge odds.
All of these types of posters are annoying, and don't contribute much to discussions, but they are trying. Also, allowing them to post on the site occupies them during time that would normally be spent raping puppies and molesting small children, so for the good of humanity their accounts should remain active.
Just so you know, those posters aren't actually all the same person. They just all live in the same house and share a computer. And a body.
