re: What is a troll?

0
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2] In addition to the offending poster, the noun “troll” can also refer to the provocative message itself, as in that was an excellent troll you posted. While the term troll and its associated action, trolling, are primarily associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels highly subjective, with 'trolling' being used to describe many intentionally provocative actions outside of an online context.

There were trolls before that site even existed. (Iono why people even think that site is old.)

tl;dr: LURK MOAR U Mad?

Good example of a real life troll: When Hideo Kojima went on the E3 stage I think last year to announce the new Metal Gear game for Xbox 360. As all the Xbots in the audience anticipated a port of MGS4 to 360, Hideo took the mic proclaiming, "Oh, I never said anything about SNAKE!" right before announcing a new Raiden game for the 360.

Also, just about anything Masahiro Sakurai does... SAKURAIIIIII!!!!!!!!
