PTT’s advantages
The advantages of PTT, while text-only interface, but interface with the system of established good friendly and fast, such as pushing the text, can make the user can quickly respond to and published articles in a short time have relied on viewing the Kanban " favorite. " Very convenient and practical.And at the same time tens of thousands of online users in order to "throw water polo" approach, ready to chat with strangers communicate. For example: when the baseball game like watching Chien-ming Wang, side with the PTT villagers immediately to discuss, it is useful sense of participation.
Management Kanban layered architecture, system, station, legal right to three independent, mutually exclusive do, like a complete small government. Intergovernmental Advisory Kanban with a legally, but because of the use of the network belong to the National Taiwan University, Taiwan Academic Network, so the content still need to comply with the Taiwan Academic Network of Use.
In addition to the above advantages, PTT is the most charming it derived some special culture. At only text and hyperlink circumstances, PTT has accumulated many characters, of which to speak on sensational media reports often become the object of such a rapid accumulation of expression, but also brainstorming and discussion.
PTT’s interesting Internet culture
* General vocabulary
PO text(PO 文): published article, the short title of the English “post”.
article commendation (推文) and criticism (噓文) scheme as its article rating and commenting system, in place since 25 May 2002. PTT was the first Chinese-language BBS to implement such a system. Under this system, users can evaluate an article by giving it a tuei (推), adding a point, or a hsü (噓), subtracting a point. Individual boards can turn off this feature or set a minimum amount of waiting time between comments.
Sticky posts： reside at the bottom of the forum, right after the most recent posts.
Big push: text extended by pushing out, said he was supporting or liked.
Washing Kanban: continuous published article. Other article has been pushed back to article list, at various forums such acts are considered to be a serious evil disorderly.
Buckets: The managers of the authority to remove an article called Baptist buckets. PTT will be up in the article even recommend removal of the authority together.
* Special vocabulary
Because there were too many special terminology, so I compared a few classic examples:
1.The fifth floor: the fifth comment of a post, which is often regarded as words of wisdom. This word in the article at PTT quite common. Users will respond to the first paragraph of the article, then known as the first floor, the second is called the second floor and so on, and so on. PTT is particularly popular at the fifth floor of comments requested article. This is because the origin of the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology of the fifth floor of the classroom as a professional, therefore, say "enough on the fifth floor of the professional", resulting in "on the fifth floor" of the wave.
Elevator: ptt lifts, intention to hush up the text when, n floor down to the n +1 Floor (n ≧ 1), only push down the first floor of the mobile text Hush way. As will be down to move to what extent, they have as the case may be, there is up to 80% of the probability will be the impact on the fifth floor. And "help build" the word has a similar usage.
Example:
Push xx1F: fifth floor used, please answer the fifth floor!
Push xx2F: help build
Push xx3F: Elevator down
Push xx4F: Elevator down
Push xx5F:
2.Villagers: This is quoted from the movie starring Stephen Chow "Hail the Judge" which side TANG Jing (Chi-Hwa Wu decoration) of the lines: "I told the villagers are coming to watch, but stop a little bit forward ...." Network at a particular dispute, as many users do not know the status of the riots plate washer. Therefore, the director pttlaw say Junchoon: "Please À hot look of the" villagers "go back to the yellow line outside", then pop, and lead the villagers, also known as mayor. The term with derogatory meaning, used to describe do not know right from wrong, follow the crowd booing the User group. Not all users will be happy to hear the others calling for the villagers. Unknown future generations the story, however, the flow of users, commonly known as PTT. In particular, PTT refers to the most popular Kanban-Hate users.
mine:chinese"雷"
3.There is "land mines": See the story said. In the article content, there is reference to some of the published novels or movies, such as the circumstances of the story content in order to remind the reader may reduce the actual viewing or reading a good mood, usually at the title of this "there is mine." Later, have a good mines mines and negative and so on, but there is the following possible explanation, but generally dominated the first, the second is a misrepresentation. For example: Negative mine is that I feel "ugly", well mine is that I feel "pretty."
4.Good flash: This refers to the extreme to show off, people can not open. Kanban in different ways have different show, for example, in the United States devoted to the NBA professional basketball billboards, to share with you an experience to watch a soccer match at the scene of the article, there may be in response to: "Good flash." However, because of PTT user groups are mostly young people, have a boyfriend or girlfriend at the vast majority of people in the billboards are a very show off things, it referred to a boyfriend or girlfriend of the article is very response may be a good flash, even though the original text there was no such intention.
5.Wtf , Picture in there? : From the original owner in the joke Kanban board skybear in a bulletin, urging him jimmyduh a quick sequel, and later because of the prevalence of Web Albums, so in some article in the attached map users will be asked to original author.
6.no proof without a picture : In the 2004 presidential election the day before the polling day, the occurrence of the famous shooting incident March 19, when Chen asked Chen Shui-bian's political celebrity photos released to the wound, as is listening to, so there is "no photo no truth," the word later evolved into a "No picture no truth."
7.The original PO is pretty girl: In real life, a woman is pretty often greatly affect people's attitude towards the Internet's anonymity makes this more extreme situation. Enthusiastic response to an article will depend on the degree of original author (that is, the original po) whether it is pretty sister. If in an unexciting attached below the article saying "the original are pretty girl", often have unexpected results. (Usually more than three can be mixed use)
8.Aligned comments and comment art：Aligned comments (推齊) is a cultural phenomenon in which users align their comments for special effect. Comment art (推圖) is a phenomenon inspired by the 2chAA community, in which lines of comments collectively form a picture. Since comment art is sometimes perceived as waste of system resources, some of the forums prohibit its use.
9.Prostitute myself: Hush is also pushing at the text from time to time to see the original intention to criticize or ridicule the other side how the other side and so on, but it should be turned into action their curse words just exactly in line with their current actions; or are designed to condemn a Friends of how one floor and so on, or laughed at a slab of Friends, the results of continuous text, hush push development down at their own just want to ridicule a curse floor.
Example:
Push xxAA: the fifth floor usually stool on underwear
Push xxBB: you are so disgusting
Push xxCC: so disgusting, and I eat at YA!
Push xxDD: no picture no truth
Push xxAA: I also want to see
Push xxAA: SHIT!
10.囧: as the characters face, there is surprise, shock, fainting, but such meaning.
囗 → just like a big face.
儿 → like the eyebrows, eyebrow character.
口 → at the bottom is like a mouth, said mouth, Zhang's mouth, similar expression of surprise.
Some of the popular lingo used by PTT users are vulgar, which has caused public concern, while others believe that as long as this behavior is contained online and does not affect the users real-life behavior that this is nothing to be concerned about.
PTT 's derivative situation
PTT many have developed Kanban look much the use of non-traditional habits, for example, allow users to vent anger of Hate Kanban, it has become the fastest growing source of gossip. The Joke Kanban, Sex Kanban all developed their own function, as well as beauty Kanban become beautiful intelligence headquarters. There are also "stupid Kanban," "Friendship Kanban," "Share Kanban" and "gourmet Kanban." At PTT, any time there are hundreds of people at the same time to exchange views about all kinds of merchandise, from the price, the heart has been the selection of merchandise with the Association for searching, there are like-minded friends eager to help. This is before the young people to seek help at the place, compared to Google search at merchandise information, probably has more people choose to ask the Kanban on the Friends of PTT views. Alone Internet Commerce, PTT will have online shopping Kanban, flea markets Kanban, second-hand book Kanban, barter Kanban, BuyTogether Kanban, HelpBuy Kanban, this seems to be a can with a huge consumption power of the small economies.
End
PTT, where the majority of Chinese users exert a great influence in real life than the noodle. Like myself, are also usually flow ripple out in all Kanban on, unable to exercise restraint. Here, you can get any food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, entertainment and life information can also be related to the feelings, interests, knowledge of these more personal information. PTT a powerful information network tightly holding each user. You can find you recommend for a notebook; Stephen Chow movies can also be found a complete line; can also be in accordance with the location of the category of information retrieval Taiwan cuisine. I did not think my short-term method to finish the whole reference to the general English PTT users. This is growing in Taiwan than the WWW-style system, although in general, give people vision on the rich, but where the majority of the users of a single word here first feelings can affect us. The power of text can not be ignored.
If you also want to play to see, do not hesitate to start it!!
