Having been one of ISH's most respected posters for quite some time now, I have seen pretty much every type of user that this site has to offer. Now, look not further for a extensive guide on all the common types of ISH'ers.
Newbies

The ISH newbies are the new influx of new posters that are here to discuss basketball, but have yet to truly understand the nature of ISH. You can tell by the way they communicate, and they are much less likely to say something that may seem disrespectful than a veteran. Over time they are corroded and turn into cvnts, but for one brief period in history they are decent posters.
The Attention Seekers

These guys do anything to get attention from their fellow posters. From trolling to starting dumb thread after dumb thread, nothing makes them happier than getting a stream of insults and a neg train that would make Clippersfan86 proud. These guys usually dont have longevity. They either get banned at some point or they troll so much that they get bored and move on. Or they get arrested in real life for burning down their neighbours tree house, they never really clarify.

This poster lives to be the first to report NBA news. If a trade occurs and they are not the first to post it on the site, they will be depressed the whole day and repeatedly neg whichever poor soul managed to get there first. I think it makes them feel like real journalists, except that they dont get paid, have no contacts and have no friends.

We all know him. The guy who claims to be a astronaut, the guy who claims to be married with kids, the guy who claims to be a 15-year old black kid living in Alabama and isnt a pedophile. Online forums are filled with guys lying about their lives, and ISH is not different. From making up fake jobs, fake personas and even fake families, we have pretty much seen it all on ISH. We have met the original handsome man.

These are the guys that only post sophisticated threads about the latest scientific breakthroughs, interesting information they found in online encyclopedias and deep topics like the meaning of life. They often steer clear of threads made by the next group...
The Kids

Yep, the guys for whom the swear filter was created. The guys that make fun of old people, foreigners and fakkits. They provide a specific kind of humour, the kind of humour that made Yo Mama jokes so popular all those years ago. These are also the guys that are responsible for 95% of the pictures of almost naked women on ISH.
The White Pride Nationalists
http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01508/klan_1508892c.jpg
The hidden racists of ISH. The guys who try to spin every scenario to reflect badly on black people and their second most hated group, liberals. These guys are often found pitying countries such as Sweden and the UK for their large amount of non white immigrants. You know who you are...
The Freaks
http://yonasu.com/wp-content/uploads/k-on-fan-obsession-2-e1306435433416.jpg
The freaks. The guys who have very unhealthy interests, and are probably in need of having a few dozen meetings with a therapist. Im not gonna delve too much into this sub group, it more than a little disturbing. So without further ado....
The Stans

The Lebron stans, the Kobe stans, the freakin Zach Lavine stans (who?). They all come under this category. Unfortunatly they seem to be the biggest faction on ISH, and often take up the majority of the basketball forum with their threads based on their agenda and slanted ideals. Come on fellas, this is the NBA not the NSA. Stop trying to use your basketball politics to try to subliminally influence people, and just respect the game.
