Yes, thats what THEY are there for, not what you are here for. There is a reason tattle tales are scolded as children.

If the discourse is just going to turn into a big shit pile about that one post, why not give a mod a heads up?

Amazingly enough, yes there is

I just reported your post.

That's just everyday though.

Yeah, but it's not everyday that you get to see third and jarosh nude. Possibly even together? Make it happen, cloud! Come on!

it's been a long strange road, no doubt. i think i started posting back in 1997, when usenet's r.g.v.* forums started falling apart. before that, i'd been posting on usenet since i was 17, in 1991. i have been RETARDED ON THESE INTERNETS FOR 20 YEARS COME SEPTEMBER JESUS CHRIST, I AM SELF-ETHERED

in that time i got two college degrees, got married, got molested by a series of dotcoms, sold my soul, spawned, and supersold my soul. fffuuuuuu~

Free EBA the next time the Bears win the division.

Psh. Easy enough if the Bears keep getting cushy schedules like last season. Crown their asses or bust.

There's a bizzaro Afrikaner GAF?

A while ago someone discovered a forum that had basically copied everything from GAF, right down to things like tags and avatars IIRC, it was a south african gaming forum and the creator of said forum was also a member here. I believe it was requested that stuff be changed so it wasnt just lifted straight from gaf, though im not sure whatever became of that forum.

Things got weird when it turned out the creator was also a dragon furry.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

As i suspected, there wasn't much of a story to tell there. thanks for the info though. I'm kinda suprised those who were removed due to inactivity don't just ask to be removed, its hard to imagine them being so busy that they forget they're forum moderators.

I bet clark kent forgot he was superman sometimes.....

You and AlienShogun should make out.

 

[Urban Scholar]

I forget it but I think someone took themselves out in the middle of a discussion. His posts were combative and his responses to responses were getting heated. He was wrong about something, someone called him out. They guy then responds with well something you wouldn't shout in public least you want to appear to be a massive jack ass. I forget his name but I thought it was like whoa.

 

[Dresden]

He is the mod with the guy crossing his arms avatar, right?

He's not actually crossing his arms.

 

[The Shadow]

jinx: Now that's a name I haven't seen in a long time. I must admit, I thought about him when I was posting in that "speed of light" thread a day or two ago and how much I missed the physics discussions that he would always follow.

It really sucks when a good poster leaves for whatever reason. *pores a 50*

He changed his name a couple times. I can't remember what his username is, but I think he still posts occasionally.

 

[Garjon]

I don't know about that, if that happened it wasn't posted in the thread(or if it was it was removed before I saw it), perhaps on the forum that was set up after the bannings/ account suicides/ people left. She just seemed upset that people thought it was kinda foolish to claim you were going to read 70-odd thousand posts(going back over a year) & retroactively ban people rather than wait for a new season & start from there & vindictively permabanned the most outspoken people( I can't remember exactly what was said on the banning message, but it was pretty pathetic).

Well quite a large volume of posts were deleted so if there was anything incriminating, it was no doubt lost there. That whole thing with perma'ing posters at the beginning just seems so mad, although perhaps it was due to frustration or something, didn't you get another mod involved?

 

[mattiewheels]

True story: I once saw a guy at the store I worked at many years ago with a Mr. Angry Face t-shirt on. I was so stunned/paralyzed with fear that I didn't do anything about it, though.

That seems to be awfully inconvenient. Out of all the animals you could dress up as, why choose the one that needs a car park to manoeuvre in?

I vaguely remember of a plan to print those out and post them here and there, like a "A GAFer was here" kind of sign. You should have said something or at the very least, kicked him in the balls because lets face it, that's a shitty T-Shirt design.

Because you've been here long enough to have noticed that far too often, what binds one person's panties in a bunch, doesn't bother 90% of other people. If someone is posting rants about killing minorities or something thats one thing, but too many people get offended for simply having a different opinion about something or even for having no sense of humor and suddenly they are running around pleading to mods to make the bad man go away.

I just reported your post.

yoouuuuu sonuvabitch


edit: holy shit akrikaner gaf! I remember that, awesome.

 

[TheSeks]

Nope.

IIRC, Dragona nominated him for modship and he expressed interest, but when I investigated I found a lot of bitterness and hostility towards GAF (on and off the forum), so I didn't take him on.

Oh, really? Well, I did say it was "rumor"/Segata recounting his modship application or whatever on the other site.

Also :lol @ said "other sites" popularity boost from this thread. I don't think some of you followed the twitter rounds and other places that advertised these places LONG before this thread.

Spoiler

Hi, long time lurker non-registered user there. I will say the asshole offshoot that isn't the one that's popular is creepy and scary.

 

[Chinner]

didn't sporks make a couple of youtubes of himself sitting in his small apartment talking about animal crossing or something?

He was a symbol of this forum. The fucking mascot.

Which is why I'm shocked to find out he went out like that.

While we're at it, who was JackFrost2012? There was a meme going around for a while that it was Drinky's alt lulz

And then it's up to the mod's discretion right? Unless the mods just ban on my whim, this is a ridiculous argument.

I am fascinated by the idea of Devolution reporting posts to the mods.

What criteria do you use to determine which posts you report? What standards do they have to violate in order for you to spring into action?

edit: do you maintain a repeat offender list and give less leeway to people with multiple strikes?

Hey Amir, what exactly are the differences between Admins and Mods? What can say, Bish do, that you can't?

I can't recall her ever displaying a sense of humor.

 

[siddx]

Point is is that it comes across as whiny and childish to run and tell a mod everytime someone upsets you. Regardless of whether they dismiss your complaint or follow through. But this is a stupid argument anyways, you are free to do whatever you wish.

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure it was Triumph, since I remembered him mentioning he lived in Atlanta, and saw his mug on here long ago. Ha.

No, Anihawk for sure. Though I faintly remember a time whern everybody and their mother copied Ani's ramierz avatar, maybe I just saw Amir0x with Ani's avatar or something?

And concerning Shouta...

Mods have already spoken on the issue of the word "tranny". TL;DR: Don't be so overly sensitive.

I really hope you didn't report people using the word "tranny" in a car discussion. Oh, girls.

Bullshit!

Also remember that one Muslim guy that got banned for saying it was ok to beat women, we all thought he had an ashamed M&M as an avatar, but it turns out it was a lemon.
