i actually thought that was serious for the first few lines.

For a few lines, I wasn’t outright lying.

:

I was a definite black sheep in that and all I did was WRITE THE NOTICE! GAAHHHHH!

But it looked like a Coup since I was also hosting OWF on my own webserver at that time. Plus, Sydney thought that I had brainwashed Abe Babe and "made" her ban him.

Poor Paranoid Syd.

Whatever. You were a contributing factor to a chain of events that led to the deletion of the original Oddworld Forums. There’s only so much I can forgive you for that.

Pilot · #62 06-22-2009, 03:30 PM

Deletion? What the heck are you talking about? This must be explained.

***Wil*** · #63 06-22-2009, 03:37 PM

The original ezBoard incarnation of the Oddworld Forums. Sydney deleted those at some point during the quarreling. To me it seemed like things were cooling down, but then he did that. I forget why exactly. Now you can just find little snapshots of it on the Wayback Machine.

For an Oddworld archivist, this was a most horrible thing to happen.

Pilot · #64 06-22-2009, 03:41 PM

Oh, for christ sake.... Alright I gotcha now.... that is a shame.

You can blame me completely if you like, I've been the fall guy here before. The main difference is that before I actually lost sleep, missed school, and cried about it privately.

Stoopid Kids.

***Wil*** · #65 06-22-2009, 03:48 PM

Awww, Justin. *hugs*

Of course I don’t blame you, especially not for that. It’s all so long ago and so very under the bridge. It’s just a shame, is all. Whatever the truth of it all, too much time has passed for me to (a) not forgive, (b) pick sides, and (c) remember very much of it.

Stoopid memory.

Pilot · #66 06-22-2009, 04:09 PM

Nahh... you're alright Wil *hugs*

Given what you do, I can mourn the loss of that; I never really thought of it one way or another...... and I didn't even know it was gone nor thought to even check.

You're a much more dedicated fan than I ever was anyway; the only thing I really had on my side back then was circumstances.

I suppose that the 'degree' of remembrance of the events is proportional to the 'degree' in which we were all 'personally' involved. In all that happened, there were far too many personal matters wound up in what should have been and was always intended to be good clean, impartial fun.

Then politics happen.

Then people get involved personally. That should have never happened. Ever. Politics happen regardless but things get taken a little too seriously with personal involvement. It led to the steady decline and discontent of those involved, which to the impartial observers appeared to be sheer madness!

Anyway, its those sharp edges that tend to stick out and make the whole thing vividly memorable for me.

I don't see how it's possible to be gay, like sydney. no offence to anyone here who is.

Pilot · #68 06-22-2009, 05:21 PM

What do you mean 'gay like Sydney?' You mean that you don't understand how its possible to be a man who wants to be a woman instead?

bobtheguy · #69 06-22-2009, 05:36 PM

yes, that's what I mean.

Wings of Fire · #70 06-22-2009, 05:38 PM

Imagine if tomorrow you were magically transformed into the body of the opposite sex, nothing else had changed about you, you just had the anatomy of a woman.

Wouldn't you want to get back in a body you felt like you belonged in?

bobtheguy · #71 06-22-2009, 05:54 PM

well yes, but no. for one thing, my hormones would've changed so that I was a girl, but yes, because I would miss being a boy... a whole lot. especially since If I was a girl I'd have these big things on my chest

you've really disturbed me now... I'm scared

Fuzzle Guy · #72 06-22-2009, 06:01 PM

Not half as much as you've disturbed us.

yeah, but now I'm going to have nightmares

Fuzzle Guy · #74 06-22-2009, 06:04 PM

Have you ever watched Silence of the Lambs?

Wings of Fire · #75 06-22-2009, 06:05 PM

About waking up as a girl? You're a teenager, you should have fantasies about that shit.

Pilot · #76 06-22-2009, 06:06 PM

What Joe (Wings) said. It has little to do with you being able to put yourself in his shoes, and more to do with what Sydney felt he wanted, and quite possibly needed. There's nothing perverse about that.

...Discussion is the only way we understand one another though, in any case.

bobtheguy · #77 06-22-2009, 06:07 PM

no, I haven't... how does that have anything to do with this.

Fuzzle Guy · #78 06-22-2009, 06:08 PM

You should watch it. It's right up your alley.

OddjobAbe · #79 06-23-2009, 07:00 AM

Oh, yes. It's such a lovely, heart-warming film. It's really help you with your nightmares. Enjoy!

I was thinking more of this video.

In the post above I was just joking

and I can't even view youtube videos, because my computer takes like 3 hours to load them(dial-up internet) so I didn't actually even watch silence of the lambs

...no.

I could understand waking up and having sex with a woman (or multiple women) but to actually be turned into one...I'm afraid I haven't had that fantasy.

yeah... I don't think that's normal.

I see you've met WoF.

MA · #86 06-25-2009, 11:06 AM

going back to the whole hannibal Lecter thing, i found this more disturbing, because its true.

pretty heavy stuff.

Leto · #87 06-25-2009, 09:14 PM

Only on a forum full of cockfiddlers could there be this much of a fucking soap opera.

Now fucking take me.

Strike Witch · #88 06-26-2009, 01:12 AM

:

My thoughts on this are that it was the female hormones Sydney was taking that was causing him at the time to be unreasonable and irrational.

Like all women.

You fucker!

Although that is true.
