The people are cooler, the arguments more legible and funnier, more interesting topics too is seems.
-
No racists, no distinguished mentally-challenged fellows, no Reirom...
It's almost impossible to have an intelligent discussion on OA. I go there to have fun every now and then, but overall it's a joke.
And...this thread will probably be locked soon
-
I concur.
-
This place has a lot of cool posters, but on the other hand it also has Willco, Phoenix Dark and MAF. :P
-
not enough posts here... dont even fill up the front page with posts in a day.
only like 5 people online at once..
better get some controversy over here quick... ship is sinking
-

Don't make me ban you
-
I don't think so...
But if OA would get rid of a few posters I'd definitely post more there.
That's opposite of here, where this place needs more posters, and more personality. Outside a few posters (Who, surprisingly are also at OA, and for a couple WERE at OA), there isn't any personality.
-
Fewer people seem to be signing up lately, but that can be fixed. I'm sure most of us are advertising this place like crazy
-
No, we're not really
-
No, we're not really
Well you aren't doing your duty.
-
phoenix dark is really optimistic *gives him a noogie*
-
I just keep it real, that's all. Willco and MAF deserve the support for all they've done for us.

WE LIKE OURSELVES YAY

:lol
We accepted a record low posters yesterday, but our traffic the past week has been consistent. Yesterday's traffic was second only to our first day on the Internet when we got plugged at OA. I've been happy with the traffic, and we'll look into adding quality posters. And we're willing to take suggestions.

Having the board open for view to guests seems like a way to get traffic. If I want to sign up for a board, I like to look around first and check things out.
But on the flipside, that would be a bad idea considering our relationship with GAF; mods could just access the boards at will and find out who was saying what. It would suck to be banned from GAF for things you said here.

Not so fast!

Stop being so lock happy. There's 5 locked threads here as opposed to GAF's OT 1 locked thread and Evilbore has a fraction of the traffic.
-
I need a good feud with someone. Settling for third-stringers like TBS doesn't fly.
Other than that, we need more gaming topics and other nerd flotsam. What I don't wanna see on this forum is relationship hand-wringing from inexperienced teenboy/girl nerdlings -- that shit alone was enough to keep me out of GAF OT.

Yup. Therefore we need to be smarter.
For instance, we should look at the novel 1984 for inspiration. In the book, Winston shared his true feelings on the government with people he thought he could trust - IE people he sensed felt the same as he did. Nevermind what happened to Winston in the end... we should use his example!
PM people on GAF who you think would be interested in EB. We can do the same on OA, although I might just advertise there with a thread; what are they going to do, ban me? :lol
Get people's AIM addresses from their GAF profiles and send them cryptic messages.
The truth is out there. Evilbore.com
Or some shit like that
-
Those same threads would have been locked on GAF ten times over. GAF OT's posters have learned the rules. We're still slapping wrists here and tuning the system.

That Count Chocula thread was locked because of the "No GAF whining" rule but absolutely no one was whining about GAF. A poster/thread from GAF was part of the discussion but not GAF.
People here are from GAF and OT, it's inevitable that subjects from either forum will pop up. It seems kind of smothering to lock every single thread that dares to mention GAF.
-
It was a thread about a guy that went off on GAF, bitching about how it was moderated and banned. If you want to bring over another topic from there, like Mr Spinnington did with that guy's naked girlfriend, feel free, but that's blatant anti-GAFism (is that a real word?).

I'm FAR from anti GAF. In fact I'll make a thread proving it

The subject was the guy flipping out, not how much GAF sucks. Not a single person piped up and said, "Yeah, that guy rules! GAF blows!" It wasn't anti-GAFism in the least. I really don't understand how discussing someone flipping out at NeoGAF is somehow representative of Anti-GAFism here. It really isn't.
In any case, you said suggestions were welcome and I gave one. You were way too eager with the lock on that one. I thought that was something that needed to be said.
-

It's appreciated and noted.
I tell you what -- I'll re-open that thread. When the first person who bitches about the unfair moderation of that forum finally pops up, you must declare me lord and master of the QuickStop. Deal?
-
here's something that needs to be said:
willco is a fagger
faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaager

I bribed you already, demi. No more treats from me!

I'll take that as a YES, Phoenix Dark and The Shadow, but remember our deal.
-
This place doesn't have stupid/misleading posters..this in itself makes it more readable than OA is half the time. But there is that rubbish gaming-age sense of humor here, brings it down a notch or two.
-
No, we're not really

You lose

Personally, and completely outside of the advice I would give Willco...(well maybe) I dont think we should take suggestions. Its clear we have our own idea of how the forum should be run in mind. Power should be centralized and absolute. This works as long as the mods are hands-off, which they are.
The threads locked today include:
Matlock stalking Cloudwalking, thats honestly a fair lock. It became a thread of memes.
Vagabond and Willco discuss forum policy and the interpretation of, honestly can be handled out of band, willco wanting to take it there was really his choice. The conversation at that point really only involved him and vagabond.
Lemurs topics I wasnt around for, but *shrug*. Honestly bad threads tend to die out, but I tend to side with admin when threads that just support bad feelings are allowed to continue and grow.
The people of this forum are personalities, but also want drama. They want to talk about rights and all that jazz, but honestly we've given a lot of lenience, in fact its so lenient here all that stands between us and becoming Opa Age are the choices the administration makes. I have banned, what, 2 people? One was White Futami. The point is I have been verbally assaulted to no end, the boundries of what can be posted are intentionally shoved around, but I do not ban, because ultimately that's not what I am here to do. That is a trait I SHARE with all the moderators of this forum, and I really wish people would recognize that instead of trying to make this place a utopia, because it never will be.
I support commenting on the quality of the forum, I support commenting on the forum features, I do not however support the idea that everyone's idea of a perfect forum will be found here.
As in real life, you will either deal or you won't. This forum, in my mind however, is the hard work of two people. Even as moderator, ultimately would not question where they decide to go with it.
In the event Willco WANTS to listen to you guys more, I will conceeed, cause this is ultimately his baby, but until then....

Get a -life-, omg. The absolute worst thing about this forum is the GAF-style mod-worship that carried over. LOLZ Ill suck ur dick for a tag. Other than that, I'm having fun contributing.
-
See? not banned.

Ben Parker isn't black.

He was until the white man (IE Stan Lee) stole the story from its original black creators. Spiderman (IE Anansi) was created by the Nigerians Willco.

That looks nothing like Spider-Man. A black Spider-Man? That'd never work!
-
Haha. Black spiderman is holding bananas and smoking a joint. :spin
-
Is black spiderman from Maximum Clonage?
-
Spiderman is poor, dates a white woman, and lives in New York. You know what that sounds like?
-
A white bro?

You're such a politician.

You're REALLY that scared of GAF? Seriously, open up the forum for viewing to attract posters. When there's a steady stream of posting going on, close it up again.

I gingerly concur. Some old GAF bullshit is pretty evident/prevalent here. Honestly, this and GAF are the only sites where when mods get their feelings hurt they try to bully posters by giving them demeaning tags and what not. I really don't see any of the sort at the other forums I've been to. It's pretty GAF/EB exclusive. It's lame, immature nerd heirarchy bullshit.
Other than that, and the lackluster forum software this place is okay. But it could be easily beaten by OA if they decided to clean that place up a little bit.
-
Demeaning tags? Since when have you started using Jotaro talking points?
-
wiggas, please. What did MAF say that isn't spot on? He's not trying develop a cult of mod personality, ala GAF. In fact, he's pretty clearly indicating that he's decoupling the two -- that MAF the poster and MAF the mod operate on two different sets of priorities. Fuck, if I had been in his shoes, I woulda sent TBS and his tiresome schtick up the fuckin' river a week ago.
GAF DOES have a problem with mod cultism -- the Amir0x, bishoptl, and sp0rsks dicksucking is out of control. Squealing for tags is the fault of the posters, though; we sure as fuck haven't encouraged it.
-

I'm not scared of GAF, but certain posters like their privacy from GAF. Just a matter of fact on that one.
-
can we all just GET THE FUCK OVER GAF
Willco, can we add a regex filter that changes "GAF, "NeoGAF," and "Gaming-Age Forums" into "buh buh buh INTARWEBS"
-

:D
Willco, can we add a regex filter that changes "GAF, "NeoGAF," and "Gaming-Age Forums" into "buh buh buh INTARWEBS"
I'll put it up for discussion.
-
At least create a "OFFICIAL WHINE ABOUT GAF HERE" sticky or sticky White Man's GAF thread
-
Now that is a good idea.
-
i still like OA a lot more, however this forum is a very entertaining diversion
I need a good feud with someone. Settling for third-stringers like TBS doesn't fly.
Other than that, we need more gaming topics and other nerd flotsam. What I don't wanna see on this forum is relationship hand-wringing from inexperienced teenboy/girl nerdlings -- that shit alone was enough to keep me out of GAF OT.
maybe it'd be time to create a gaming section?
also, I think this should be viewable to guests, people aren't banned for whatever they say on OA, and tons of incredibly dreadful shit has been said there (except for Waychel's pseudo legal threats and one time that got Mike Works deadminned)-- GAF mods don't want to let their forum governed by anything else than their own will
concerning the tags, I think it'd be a good idea to keep it entertaining, if a poster doesn't like it and sees it as humiliating it shouldn't be enforced on him, but I don't think that mods or admins will give vendetta tags, however let's keep this lighthearted and fun for everyone
-
You know what's also better than OA? Herpes.
-
herpes :-[
-
I'm going to take Drinky's suggestion and White Man's topic is stickied. Unless anything earth shattering from GAF deserves an entirely new topic, like pictures of admins selling drugs to terrorists to finance their servers, keep it in White Man's topic.
-
TBS is just mad cause the 'typical GAF shit' is actually 'Typical Shit' whereas no one finds him funny except people at his level of stupidity.
-
Why don't we stop asking people at the same GAF-OA circle and get some other quality posters from other boards?
I'm personally satisfied with the GA/OA humor being at those 2 boards. Don't need it at THIS board to mirror both
Honestly, I used to love the TXB forums and a lot of people here.
-

No, it's actually what goes on at GAF. You're a stockboy at an office supply store. The only time you feel superior to anyone is when you're online. Anyone challenges that level of sueriority you use your power and try to dreide them. It went on in GA all the time, here is no different. Just some nerd trying to feel big.
-
FYI, because I don't want to get in the middle of a flame war, but MAF left Staples a long time ago and has a good job now.
Why don't we stop asking people at the same GAF-OA circle and get some other quality posters from other boards?
I concur. And this is a good suggestion. We will look into it and feel free to invite fresh blood from out of the usual watering holes.
-
tbs apparently has no hypocrisy gland
-
The chick from that G4 show is cool with me on mIRC, and we myspace talk too, but I dont think this is her kinda place.
But I dont wanna spam...
-
Stockboy at an office supply store? Are you reading GAF posts from last year? lolz.
If youre gonna insult me base it on facts please.
-
We're everyone's kind of place! And we like women, we even let them moderate! And date admins!
Don't spam (unless you can spam spam spam!), but if you have good suggestions for bringing in fresh blood, PM me and I'm welcome to hear it.
-
I'll get people from my main message board. They're cool. And one of them would really like White Man.

Shhh... just point me in the direction of the print cartridges and I'll be on my way.

I think the use of the :shh emoticon would've made that funnier. Just a recommendation.

So you would rather continue being ignorant? I mean that's sorta how dumbasses live their lives, but I had thought after all the honest comments leveled at you on this forum there would be some desire to improve yourself.
Some people are just beyond help I suppose.

I didn't know prostitutes worked this early
-
So I went to OA and I see like 2 lines of text than huge ass sig pics...then another 2 lines of txt and more huge sigs.
-
So did you turn off sigs in your cp or did you rush over here to complain about it :lol
-
I DID BOTH LOLZ
-
I disagree when it comes to forum humor.
But overall yeah evilbore seems better.

Viz's avatar + Viz's tag = roffel

Thank you kindly. :D

No, we're not really
Knowing demi, he probably didn't say this in response to the post above his, but to the topic post.
Am I right?
