I was visiting my favourite gaming site one day (guess what it is ) and I started to notice a disturbing trend. People were writing the words, "first floor" or "wooooooo first post" if they were first to reply to a thread.
Sometimes, people would even edit their posts with "first floor" after the fact because they realized the fantastic and unbelievable had occured, and they wanted to share it with all of us. Worse yet, some would post and fail to get "first floor" after another idiot posted it, or something just as short and useless, a fraction of a second before they could, resulting in edits of "oh crap" or "darn, almost had it".
Well I'll tell you who's had it...me! I'm sick and tired of seeing this shit on every site I go to. Gosugamers is probably one of the most over-run with it that I have seen and it saddens me to see such a quality news site have such shitty forums.
The point I'm making here people is that there are only 3 reasons why you would post "first floor" in a thread.
#1: You have nothing to say of importance but want to spam something. #2: You believe that the rest of us are unaware that you were the first to post and you are providing a helpful reminder. #3: You think that posting first is a spectacular event and you want to share your joy with the world.
In all cases you are an idiot.
So next time you feel the urge to rush a post to fit in "first floor" or worse yet edit an existing post to put it in there, do us all a favour and hold your breath til' you pass out. By the time you come to someone else will have posted first and you can spare us all the grief of prematurely realizing that you are a douchebag.
Thank you tl.net. I hope you all take this to heart, because we are a special community here, not like all the others. Always know that the pathway to hell is paved with posts that remark, "first floor".
jk i know exactly what you are talking about, it is pretty annoying, although I haven't seen it around much
edit: actually I haven't seen it at all on this site :[ although it must be occurring if you are complaining about it? or just making a pre-emptive strike?
I think it only started on tl.net after the translation of an article from yaoyuan dedicated to the art of first floor. For now, it's only a reference, but I agree with you it shouldn't become a habit (though I trust the banmasters to never let such a thing happen).
So I could only find 3 individuals, but I'm just throwing this out there so that people can see, regardless of what that idiot wrote on YauYuan..."first floor" is a stupid concept.

Haha, that was a good post. I agree with the whole first floor bs, its so pointless and annoying. Arrg! Post something relevant to the topic please, k thx.
i believe they only do that in replays comments. Yaoyuan is a replay site afterall and floor grabbing has actually liften the atmosphere. Every time i click on a rep link, i get to see all the amusing remarks and some times clever flame wars etc.
I dont really care about it on a replay site when discussion about a replay doesnt take place for a while until many ppl have dled it. However, on a discussion forum I dont think it lends any kind of value. Fortunately it is a very rare sight indeed on this board and I dont see it catching on. If it does we will have to designate a specific 1st floor mod to deal with the situation :p
