Of course, we all know that the forums and Oddworld Inhabitants by extension are an elaborate practical joke created by Chuck Norris.

XD but about him... who the hell created the account "Chuck Norris"???

Sydney isn’t famous beyond the Oddworld Forums, and probably Oddworld Inhabitants. As far as we know. He started the Oddworld Forums.

so how did he/she get kicked out if he/she was the main person in charge?

You should have written how did he/she U.U

Administratively, Sydney and Abe Babe shared equal power. This power included the ability to remove each other from power.

moxco · #37 06-21-2009, 01:31 PM

So you could kik Nate out if you wanted?

***Wil*** · #38 06-21-2009, 01:54 PM

Terminology has changed since then. An admin now doesn’t have the complete set of abilities of an admin back then. But possibly I could remove Nate from the staff, I don’t know. I’m not really willing to try it out.

I bet Nate is more than willing to test it on me. =D

***Nate*** · #39 06-21-2009, 06:40 PM

It certainly looks like it's possible.

***Alcar*** · #40 06-21-2009, 06:42 PM

Do it.

Alcar...

bobtheguy · #41 06-21-2009, 08:29 PM

so if sydney (at the time) was being a jerk and banning a lot of members why didn't she just ban every admin but himself/herself, so that no one else could ban him/her

There wouldn't really be much of a forum left afterwards, would there?

no, but sydney could make his/hers "followers" into mods... this would suck for the regular members, but it would let him/her do anything he/she wanted without being banned.

They say the first mods rebelled against Sydney because Abe Babe convinced them too. The rebellion was led by Alcar and he single-handedly castrated Sydney. The male slough is what spawned us all.

The history of Oddworld Forums so reminds me of the stroy behind Zeno Clash

With Ghat being Alcar and Father/Mother being Sydney

abe is now! · #46 06-22-2009, 06:25 AM

I found Sydney's last post: she left the forum without any warning... perhaps she died.

bobtheguy · #47 06-22-2009, 07:59 AM

really? well anyway Sydney posted a story about sex changes.... was she talking about herself?

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.

OddjobAbe · #51 06-22-2009, 11:56 AM

That I can believe. Did Sydney always use circular logic that didn't go anywhere while he/she was taking these hormones?

***Wil*** · #52 06-22-2009, 12:35 PM

Homones?

To my utter shock, it turns out that I was actually banned earlier today as part of an illicit experiment in the effects of power weilding. As a result, certain of my permissions may have been eliminated. This was an act of reckless superiority and has ‘anti-trust’ written all over it. I for one can’t stand to be part of such an environment, where staff member turn on each other at the drop of a hat. I hereby resign my commission as administrator of the Oddworld Forums, and I feel it fair to warn you all that I shaln’t be returning. I invite everyone who feels similarly disturbed and abused by these disgraceful events to come and be my friends on a new message board I’ve set up: The Glass Package.

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

Wings of Fire · #54 06-22-2009, 12:48 PM

I'd moderate your glass package.

Oh honey, you have first dibs anyway.

bobtheguy · #56 06-22-2009, 02:09 PM

sydney gets weirder and weirder as a find out more about him/her.

mr.odd · #57 06-22-2009, 02:32 PM

maybe you should just go with it.

so what was the glass asylum about?

Christ Wil, are you sure you didn't just copy/paste that from Sydney's post? The wordage/tone/personality is Sydney to a tee. Either that or you're just a wonderful impersonator..... knowing him/her in ways I can only dream of.

Ass. Wil would never make me a moderator anyway; despite the fact of how wonderfully inviting a forum being named "The Glass Package" sounds. So have at it. Pyrex shlongs and all.

***Wil*** · #59 06-22-2009, 03:45 PM

It wasn't about anything, not explicitly. It was just a place to chat.

You could argue it was about spite, and you wouldn't be wrong exactly, but it became a place for friends to chat when they became too disgusted with the actions of Abe Babe/Pilot/Alcar to stay at the Oddworld Forums. Before Sydney closed it, anyway.

I wasn’t trying to immitate Sydney’s language at all. However, if it comes so naturally to me, I’m sure I could assume control of the Sydney member and puppeteer a makeshift Syd for our benefit. OWF has been really shit since he left anyway.

No, I know what you do to those in power once you get some for yourself.

Pilot · #60 06-22-2009, 03:50 PM

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.

Right... his style was inimitable.

.... and yes; you should pick up on his/her account. It would please me.
