Everybody in this entire thread. By the way, I didn't even do much searching to find that, any thread from around that time is exactly the same. I have a passionate hatred for anyone who thinks they're important enough to write their name at the end of each post. Yes, we can see who you are, and no, we don't care.
There's probably threads ten times worse than this, but this is just a random one I found. I wish you were more active back then, OANST, to put those happy-go-lucky spergs in their place.

That thread took me back to a happier time in OWF's history. Oddworld had been effectively dead for a few months and people were starting to become snappy, negative, trollish and cliquey. I hadn't even become a super moderator yet, but I'd been around longer than anyone, long enough that even 7 years later the idea of calling 2006 'the really early era' is a massive joke, and I was distraught at the way the community was turning.
But looking back I can see it was small fries compared to today. Look, people having fun with a harmless game on a gaming forum! Don't see that now. The pain the community's evolution caused me then, in retrospect, is so much better than the numbness I have towards this place now. There are a lot of you I like and respect, but the only interesting conversation here now is back in Oddworld Discussion, and even that's so painful and acidic that I don't want to go there.
All of this venting utterly aside, if I see you using a slur against autistic people again I'm giving you a week's ban without hesitation.
