Gizoogled TLR front page

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Gizoogled TLR front page

Hey guys, just wondering if you guys had heard of Gizoogle. It's pretty weird, take a look at the Gizoogled TLR front page. *WARNING: CONTAINS SOME SWEARING*

I don't like it at all! } or anything else that corrupts and mocks TLR..

It doesn't corrupt and mock, Taw. It would require a human on the other end to do such a thing. This is merely a computer generated algorithm that replaces certain strings. it has neither intelligence, nor purpose. Corruption and Mocking are human actions, not the actions of a process. it is merely doing what it was created to do.

I am rather curious as to what it is supposed to DO though. make it all in drunken idiot language? I can honestly say i have never heard of Gizoogle. Although have you ever heard of Shredder?
Basically a Web broser Java applet that screws around with HTML coding. Just as useless (if not moreso)

Gizoogle is nothing more than a VILE piece of trash. Using a predetermined set of words to degrade ANY site used in it.

Arania, you kinda gave yourself away there, as you said, a computer has no intelligence, it doesn't think nor express initiative or opinion, so the most logical option is that a HUMAN programmed it, and as you so clearly stated, mock and corruption are human actions, and I agree with Taw, its disgusting. and a Mock and Corruption of a very fine site

I don't see anything wrong with it. Why is everyone getting so upset about it? It's nothing more than a tongue-in-cheek 'translation' algorithm that changes words and phrases into... whatever the heck it is.

All this nonsense about corruption and mockery; you'd think I'd taken paint stripper to the Mona Lisa. Do you think whoever wrote the algorithm had the intention to corrupt and mock webpages for malicious amusement? I could easily see myself writing that sort of thing. If anyone's getting mocked, it's the people who talk like that.

Just go to http://www.gizoogle.com/funnytrans.php to see my point.

still not laughing. didn't think any of those were funny either.

Google often do that sort of thing,for light hearted reasons:

For instance, search on google for l337 h4x0r, and this is the first result:
http://www.google.com/intl/xx-hacker/
Yep, a google page for teh h4x0rs search, including the Þ/2Øl\/ search (image).

As for whether I find it insulting, not in the least. It's light hearted - nothing more, nothing less. As always - interpretations differ upon viewing obviously. It is simply a "translator" in my eyes though, not a persistently hosted site, but dynamically created upon request, for whatever page you wish to use. If it were a persistantly hosted site, another spoof website of this one... then I would find it mildly insulting, as well as being misleading. It isn't though.

Would you find it insulting if it were a l337 translator instead? Enter the web address into the bar, and then it "displays" the page in l337 formatting instead?

The "Translation" used has wording that is EXTREMELY Offencive to peoples and groups in the US. It may have been created in jest, but is not a joke. Too bad there is no one it can be reported to to have it removed.

Post Sun Dec 18, 2005 10:05 am

it's all that *bad gangsta rappa* nonsense isn't it? pfui, all that stuff's horrible. if it had been something else like 733t then that would actually have been amusing (briefly) but all that *boyz in the hood* stuff is vile. and not funny.

Post Sun Dec 18, 2005 11:00 am

pardon my reaction, but wtf is that garbage it makes the site look like a four year old punk rocker was set loose with a text editor. oh well some ppl are easy to amuse

Actually Taw, its the use of the (N) Word that creates a lot of hate here. It can get you a beating, lawsuit or just about anything else.
