Yeah, and a quiet FC isn't a welcoming FC.

I don't think people really say new members with an interest in OW belong in FC any more.

Slog Bait 07-04-2013 02:03 AM

The quietness could be easily remedied by people actually posting there every so often. I don't know why it's so looked down upon/laughed at, it's a pretty pleasant place overall.

And that's not really what I said. Every so often a new member will come along and we'll do our usual new member-bullying and a decent amount of the time if the member comes across as obnoxious in some manner you'll have the occasional post directing them towards FC, which usually gets glazed over anyways.

Because fan artists are the lowest form of life. Duh.

Seriously though, we don't even get that many new members any way, a lot of the people with interesting things to say aren't about as much, people on here are a lot less opinionated than they used to be and we've had the same debates so many times that there's no point in doing them again. For those reasons, the whole forum in general is quieter.

Not to mention that people are a lot less interested in forums now than they were five or ten years ago.

Wow, this thread has really put things into perspective.

And what about veterans age? We aren't kids now, interests change even Oddworld is always our favourite game (probably). We can talk about other stuff now.

Wil despises OWF and everyone in it.

abe is now! 07-05-2013 11:42 AM

Make me a moderator.

MA 07-05-2013 11:53 AM

make him a moderator.

STM 07-05-2013 01:19 PM

Of casual sex and beaches.

The overly nice members were before mine and AIN's time though. The absolute lowest point of the forum is apparently 2006 and we missed that noise.

Dude, that's when I joined. I got yelled at by Nate.

Wil 07-05-2013 02:22 PM

According to WoF, things started getting better when you joined.

Wait... seriously?

What is it with all these members who remember me abusing them? I seriously can't recall this.

Wings of Fire 07-05-2013 05:00 PM

Can you at least remember abusing me?

Nate 07-05-2013 05:09 PM

I remember giving you an infraction once. But I think you've mentioned me yelling at you on a different occassion.

They're lying, Will infracted me once for downloading Abe's Exoddus! This is an abuse!

Nate 07-06-2013 02:50 AM

Right now I'm imagining me going to a bar, meeting an attractive gentleman, bringing him home... and mid-coitus being interrupted by AiN bursting in and giving me infractions.

EDIT: Going to the infraction list, the options are:
  • Illegal Activity
  • Inappropriate Language
  • Insulted Other Member(s)
  • Poor Grammar & Spelling
  • Posted Spoilers
  • Postorrhoea
  • Signature Rule Violation
  • Spam
  • Thread Necrumancy
  • Multiple Account
  • Gorman Disenza Virus

I'll let you guys guess which ones he might have hit me for.




EDIT EDIT: Is it just me, or has this thread become exactly what the OP was complaining about?

MA 07-06-2013 03:13 AM

Takeshi come back, we need to broaden the gene pool.

it's like the Aztecs all over again.

I hate postorrhoea!

Nate 07-06-2013 04:12 AM

Especially in the bedroom.

abe is now! 07-06-2013 04:17 AM

In that list you forgot exhuming MS1029 by the way.

Nate 07-06-2013 04:39 AM

That is the actual list that comes up when a moderator clicks the infract button on a member's post or profile. MS1029 would either receive a Gorman Disenza (which is effectively the same as an insta-perma-ban) or a ban through the adminCP.

Wings of Fire 07-06-2013 04:49 AM

I've instabanned two spambots so far and masturbated furiously afterwards.

What's going on with those spambots? I never saw them around the forums in the past.

Did you have a good time anyway?

Well I certainly can. I'll never forget it.

Bullet Magnet; if no-one responded to your post, you can probably assume we did read it, but decided it wasn't worth responding to. You don't need to repeat the 'joke'. And I use that last word loosely.


STM 07-06-2013 07:59 AM

Haha, BM eats road kill. And I thought you were smart.

MA 07-06-2013 07:59 AM

that's just so mean.

of Nate, that is. who else?

abe is now! 07-06-2013 09:58 AM

I am nate... a dog... woof

Manco 07-06-2013 12:06 PM

I like how all the regulars’ usernames have simplified over the years. nate_dog_woof got reduced to just Nate; Max the Mug = Wil; Old and Not So Tasty got abbreviated and molluck’s assistant became just MA.

Super Munch -> Leto, where the hell is he?

I'm changing your username to Man.

Varrok 07-06-2013 01:02 PM

At some point I wished my username was shortened to just V, but I was told one-letter usernames aren't possible :/

Gross, you can’t fuck with my gender identity like that.

Besides, I’ve already had a name shortening.
