Dtoid has a rather large readership as I'm sure you all may know by now. Even though it is a pretty tight knit community, on any given day a 1/4 of a million people can check out what the Robot has to offer. Out of that group, there is a chunk that I love and care about as much as Paris Hilton is stupid and talentless. The Dtoid Army.
While it hasn't officially launched, you know who you are. Anyways, super soon we will be hitting a landmark. Our 20,000th hardcore Dtoider. These are the people that go nuts in our forums, make cblogs, and call Jim Sterling names on the front page. These are not meer users, but the people that come to Dtoid and stay active. Fucking 20,000 people! My yob has become hell trying to remember who is who.
As you may know, Dtoid's ranking system doesn't use a basic format of 1 comment = 1 point. While I cant tell you all of the secrets of how it works (I don't really even know) I can tell you that it is based on activity and performance. The more you get involved, the higher you will rank.
To honor this landmark, I can make a few small announcements. Destructoid will be rewarding people that rank high on our leaderboards in the coming months. We figure we owe it to you. Keep in mind, that first off, if I catch you doing some bullshit to cheat the system (Electro Lemon!) you will automatically be knocked out. Also, our community will rip your ass in half.
Second, Friday Night Fights is about to get a lot more official. Prizes, ranking, NamelessTed sucks, and hell, maybe even badges and actual trophies with a baby ElectroLemon holding a torch. Who knows. We don't have an official start date, but I can say that we are trying to get something cool together for the COD4 expansion maps coming later in March.
One last thing for the newbs. I know that you don't always get all the jokes and inside comments, so I want to start doing short videos and posts so you understand what "Soccer Practice" and "Shitty Movie Night" is. Dtoid has possibly the funniest history of anyone and you should know about it.
As usual, you rock as a community. Almost everyone earned a place here. Dtoid fucks with the new people hardcore, but when you strike them down, they become more powerful. Except, kitty, wiisucks, and NamelessTed.
Happy Birthday to Tristro and the ever-so-awesome, Mr. Travis Roop. Without you guys, Snaileb would still suck.

woah, can't you make that dtoid-army one into a pic?
I would order one immediately :-)
damn not into a pic, into a friggin t-shirt damn me and my sleepy head :-( (3:27 am here )
Yay for us!
Yay for half-naked fat men!
Yay!!!
My favorite part of Dtoid is that nobody knows what half the references are from.
ODNT TAKE THAT AWAYYYYY
Ron, I love you. Thanks for making my experience with Dtoid, so sexual and orgasmic.
Also, I'm pregnant.
Sounds like some awesome stuff is on the way. I can't wait.
I love this fucking place. :D
I'm a member of the Dtoid Secret Service, which is much cooler than the Army and we dress better... not to mention our awesome sunglasses.
"My yob has become hell trying to remember who is who."
Is it hard to remember who I am?
Also, I can haz money? and mudkips? for having no life? A WINNER IS ME!!
Dtoid Army:
Kickers of ass. Drinkers of alcohol. Readers of Penthouse Forum.
So... whens that Retoid going to be released?
@youkilledmyguy but do you have dental?
Destructoid forever!
Much love for the site and it's members. If I wasn't going through tremendous writer's block and feeling like crap everyday, I'd be more active on my blog. :/
Oh well, Viva Destructoid! Now back to Lost Odyssey.
@LarkOhiya
I think someone needs to explain to you the meaning of the words "cavity search." It has nothing to do with yr teeth, but it is necessary to become a member of the Army.
Hell yeah..Dtoid Army T-Shirt..I'm looking at YOU.
Ron & Everybody that makes this site what it is are why I do and put any effort into this joint. This community is like one HUGE Online Frathouse.
So when's that Toga Party happening?
My nipples are now hard.
Sounds fan-fucking-tastic.
@Ron NSFWorkman
Ok then, I'd like to put down a pre-order on all of those :-) all in XXL-size please ;-)
:-)
cool.
Fuck yes, this shit is gonna be off the hook.
tight
I'm still a newb O_o
"url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaHmcCp77JE]I just got a shout out from Ron Workman *craps pants*[/url]
holy link fail
I WANT YOUR HOT SEX.
Ronny baby, I've been meaning to ask you, you signing me up for the Dtoid email list with the wrong email address. I don't use that one, I use the one my forum name is under. Could you change it, sugartits?
I have a pair of polka dot panties just like those.
I think i speak for all the D'toid Army here when i say thank you for giving us a website that keeps us informed, entertained and a forum for us to voice our opinions.
That logo would make a bitching shirt. Fuck it a Tattoo!
Wow, Ron, this is really incredible. We are all a part of the DTOID community because we love it, but it's truly incredible to think about how important the editors of DTOID make the community feel in return.
I can't think of another site out there that does a damn thing for their users, but time and time again DTOID listens to its users and bends over backwards to make them happy. I think we're all proud to be part of "The Army" and can't wait for the future.
its time to bring the XBLA Spotlight back out. Saturday, around 4-5pm EST, the next 2 installments will be up!
Dammit Ron, why do you have to make everyone so horny? :/
Did someone say something about Dtoid condoms? I'd be all up in that business. Get to work on development thereof immediately.
As for rankings, I recently broke into the top 100, and the only reason this really pleases me is because I love this community so much, and I'm overjoyed to be an integral part of it. Thanks folks.
"...Fable 2 has multiplayer..."
Nerd-Teasing bitch.
Yep, I’ve also been noticing that we’re getting pretty close to 20,000 strong as a community. We need to have some sort of special celebration...like the person who creates the 20,000th account should be presented with a flash video with balloons and champagne popping, etc., and then initiated into the Dtoid Army by, well, who else? Its other 19,999 members!
Also, here’s hoping that the cool FNF stuff doesn’t just apply to 360 owners...*fingers crossed*
You know what this means. When Mr./Mrs. 20K posts his/her first "God told me to" blog, we must retaliate with 20K picture comments.
Speaking of Lemon, where the hell has he been?
Give me a uniform and a gun and I'll help topple any governmental body you guys want! Let's take Congress hostage and demand free beer for life for all Dtoid army soldiers!
Without Destructoid I would still have lots of free time to do things like go outside and get laid. Thank Yahweh this site came along, otherwise I'd probably be riddled with skin cancer and social diseases.
Also, I think I chipped off a part of my tooth flossing. Fuck you very much American Dental Association.
Neat
@arcanum
where did you get that pick? A group of "special" children from my school visited Fort Bragg and that third guy from the right looks an awful lot like our football team honorary captain for our homecoming game
YAY! Group hug, group hug!
@Mxyzptlk: You managed to chip a tooth while flossing? What were you using, diamond floss or something?
@ BrOnXbOmBr21: Just regular floss. I'm completely bewildered about it myself. Luckily it's on the inside part of the tooth, so it's not visible. Wtf though.
I hope I make the cut, because if I don't I will take over the world with my actual army.
Odds are I'm not high enough, but who gives a fuck? Happy to be here.
I RUVE YOU TOO RON
Wow! 'Grats to everyone!
You will nvr4get who I am.
<3
Most impressive!
holy shit baby...holy shit.
I'm ranked 150!
GO meeeeeeeeee.
Yay prizes?
