No way man.  With Patel on hiatus, that would tip us straight into an adverse selection death spiral.

I don't want to go back to GAF.  :(

I've stopped posting a long time ago and just recently kicked the habit of visiting altogether.

It's either that or a splinter-of-a-splinter forum, continuing the fractal pattern until each board has two members, and I'm gonna get stuck with Cheebs or some shit.

Cause I'm not gonna lie and say I'd follow all the good posters' blogs.

I don't even follow Cajole's blog. Lousy deserter.

Probably just posing about the Mets anyway.

Come on, Cohen, think.

What would Gil Thorp do if he were faced with this situation? Leave? No way, Jose. He wouldn't leave. He would get drunk from his clipboard flask with Kaz, not do any real coaching, and then order his troubled young star athlete to pull the Wing-T, regardless of the actual sport being played at the moment. That's what Gil Thorp would do.



So pull yourself together with your freakishly drawn hands, comb back that hair, and get in the game, son.

MAF, White Man, Cajole, Patel, and Rygar gone; Drewsy posting more than ever.

This is an unfair trade.

I bet they've already moved to a super-secret new forum and we're not invited.  Cause of my Jewishness and your awful thread.

The hypocrisy and snobbery ruined this forum long before "shit posters" did.

Meh I agree, that wasn't a great period in EB's history, for the most part. The problem is that a small handful of posters expect to act like aristocrats while trolling, and then bitch n moan when they get trolled. I thought the whole "haha annihilated"/1up-manship meme was light hearted for the most part.

Then folks took things too far by, you know, spoiling shit for Patel, and trolling entire threads just to derail conversation. But these things are only a problem when Drewsy (or whatever new EB Boogieman the icons decide to point at) does it.

trying to equate what shitty posters do to what more established, intelligent posters do is one of your failings, maurice.

-manabyte spoils a series that someone might be legitimately interested in watching- bad things ensue
-i spoil a ludicrous, poorly written series that no one should take seriously or watch anymore and the only people who get pissed are you and chow chow.  see where i'm going with this?

It reminds me of Opa Ages. I'm guessing a high percentage of those fucks have moved over here.

You're truly pathetic. You can't see how spoiling a tv show, however good/bad, is a stupid petty thing to do? As I said earlier, many people watch 24 on this board. Some are more into it than others. Spoiling shit for anyone is like, OA levels of doucheness.

It's not about who got pissed. Lots of people could have had shit spoiled for them, same with Manabyte's fuck up.

You fail at the internet and apparently at life Triumph, grats

What the fuck is wrong with this forum? 

Everyone keeps bitching, but uh it's a forum where people A.  Talk about videogames, B.  Talk about random crap, C.  Vent.  It has been and it still is.  What has changed?  It's not like mods are going on some banning/censoring spree.  It's not like there's a wave of fanboy posters crapping up threads.  What is so terrible that has become to EB?  Cause I don't notice it.

I though Patel left because of a general I need to get out of the internet phase.  Didn't seem like it was some reaction to EB.

Uh, I have always admitted that I am petty, mean spirited and bitter.  It's part of my charm, like you being 20 something and not allowed to have a tv in your house is part of yours.  Or something.

Overreaction-ton.

Triumph is charming, all of you kindly shut the fuck up and play nice.  You can ignore users that irritate you and any people that specifically being to exhibit a posting history that is detrimental to the community will be taken out back and punched in the balls.
