This might come as a shock to you and MaxcutPerusing, but there are longtime members who were driven off who are not Jman and Goofy, don’t really fall into the Forum Wars category, and also aren’t fortunate enough to post on NMNM and thus qualify for Yuv’s list. Maybe consider not “othering” or erasing them.
Combining posts since we’re throttled - the distinction here is that [redacted for wichita] he provided a ton of content and value to this place aside from the shit-stirring (and even aside from the bots).
For all the people finally reflecting on the site because they miss Goofy- I’m sure if he’s posting elsewhere then he’ll tell you if you message him on discord. Dude posted constantly (and largely good and substantive content imo) for almost 20 years so it’d be surprising if he’d whole heartedly stopped because of this. Also maybe people should learn how to program bots if they’re only learning goofy is gone because the bots are?
Sure I’d be happy to but I honestly don’t have any idea who you’re talking about. It isn’t easy to remember everyone who’s posted here or if they left or why they left. Of course I remember my friends better than people who I haven’t seen post in years or months. That’s not “othering” that’s just not remembering.
That’s true and everyone has different experiences with posters. But the context here is this post started this discussion:
I don’t know why Goof Baller left but this retelling of events ignores the obvious truth that he was one of the most committed Forum War Guys here.
So refute it in a non asshole way if you can and move on. Or even im an asshole way. I disagree it needs to be purged. If your argument is better it will be enough.
So your plan is… 4chan? Ok then, that’s worked out well everywhere.
It’s also interesting, as several of these people complaining about people being run off or talk about less bannings wanted me permanently banned. It’s all bullshit.
A big chunk of you literally voted for meb to be mod because you thought he was going to permanently ban me. Funny how selective y’all’s memory gets. It’s tough to tell where you voted, as you’ve deleted your account what, 3 times? But jal voted for that. Micro talked about wanted me permad a ton. @AngryQueer voted for that thinking I was going to be perma’d too IIRC that he was NoMatterWho.
So is the line child porn adjacent her and everything else has to be dealt with? Think posting anti-vax anti-science from bigoted pieces of shit shouldn’t be tolerated. It does nothing to help discussion and makes everything worse.
Because refuting constant streams of bullshit is tiring and takes a lot more work than it does to create. Because that refutation creates a stream of shit posting that no one actually wants to read or enjoy. Because it’s you’re simply letting yourself being taken in by bad faith actors using you giving a shit about something against you.
I never deleted my account and I didn’t vote for meb. But of course you can’t quote anyone but like Mr. Wookie or Trolley Trollson saying we need to ban ikes because no one else ever wanted to ban you. Meb didn’t even say he was going to ban you from what I recall. I mean he did say he was planning on banning worthless shit stirring assholes from both sides so I can see why you might have thought you were in danger.
Microbet never said he wanted you banned. You’re lying. You won’t quote microbet saying you should be banned because that post doesn’t exist. You made it up.
Don’t you remember how so many Big Forum Personalities were very upset that you were called Ikes, saying that was the equivalent of calling someone a nazi? Those people are ALL on your team now. There is nobody who wants you banned, and there hasn’t been for years now.
