Title: I'm back...
Post by: FlameofCallandorReturns on January 19, 2012, 05:52:44 AM
Broke up with my GF of 4 years
Lost 50 pounds in 5 months
Getting my masters in accounting
Ran a marathon, multiple distance triathlons and a half Ironman
Training for a full Ironman in May

If Patel still posts I finally read Stranger in a Strange Land and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
Oh, and I no longer give two shits about politics. Like at all.

Yes, it starts off with a bunch of dudes wearing tight black suites getting wet, then they strip down and wear some tight shorts and then ends with bloody nipples if you're not careful.

Where have you been? Why did you leave in the first place?

I've been reassessing my life over the past 18 months or so. Been going back to school. Trying to get in shape and generally just being a better person.

Also, growing a beard. That takes a lot of effort for a baby face like me.

Seeing how he made sure to quickly address the fact his political views haven't changed and he is still a libertarian and he wouldn't address whether he has had a change of heart on his prejudiced thoughts about muslims makes me suspect the only thing he has learned is how and when to keep his mouth shut from talking about his off-kilter views. Which I guess in itself is an improvement.

Well seeing how you claim to be still a libertarian and a quick glance through your old post history turns up dozens of threads where you make derogatory downright prejudiced rants about Muslims as an entire group...

If not judging an entire culture based on ignorant viewpoints and not believing in a joke of a political ideology is part of Cheebs enlightenment then there is quite a few people who are enlightened outside of me. And I am by no means enligtened, I am just not the one making lofty claims about growing up.

Got my masters, own my own home, good office job, living with my soon to be fiancee. Going well. But who cares? None of that means I am (or you, like you seem to think switching careers automatically makes up for your ignorant world view) "grown up".

At least I don't say these things  :-*:

FlameofCallandor+muslim turns up quite a few interesting topics.

If you actually had grown up and said you learned you were wrong and ignorant to judge other cultures like you did and realized just how simple minded and impractical your political stances were there would be a bit different variety of replies. That would be actual showing you learned something.

I must be the only guy who likes the original Terminator more than T2. It's just so perfectly nihilistic. All the terrible shit they go through, and the best outcome they can hope for is that the end of the world proceeds as it did last time. No paradoxes, just a small time loop to preserve the status quo.

T2 is all about the happy endings, so... Not as challenging, edgy, or great as the original.

I am going to out on a limb and say that doesn't give you an excuse to say racist and prejudiced things about muslims and arabs (by the way I get angry at such stupid comments from working for a few years in a private Muslim elementary school doing IT while in college and getting to know muslims first hand). But whatever not worth arguing with you on this, you clearly havent changed at all. Not replying to this topic anymore after this.

I'm gonna go out on a limb at say that you haven't seen real racism cheeps.
I am going to out on a limb and say that doesn't give you an excuse to say racist and prejudiced things about muslims and arabs (by the way I get angry at such stupid comments from working for a few years in a private Muslim elementary school doing IT while in college and getting to know muslims first hand). But whatever not worth arguing with you on this, you clearly havent changed at all. Not replying to this topic anymore after this.

leper cheebs for being so fucking stupid

come on, SERIOUSLY, how does accosting a dude about something facile he said on these interwebs THREE FUCKING YEARS ago accomplish anything? all he'll do is troll your dumb rich kid ass, and we'll laugh and laugh at both of you and then we'll get sick of you pushing it and his largely predictable trolls and you'll get lepered anyway and he won't have changed his mind in the slightest

Disappeared and stopped paying the hosting bill.  It was a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge scandal.  It nearly tore the community apart.  The board split into two for a while.  evilbore.com and thebore.com.  demi ran thebore.com and dcharlie ran evilbore.com.  It kinda turned into the OA thing where most people posted on both but didn't want to merge the two.  eventually something happened (don't quite remember what) and it was agreed to move to thebore.com and demi would be the admin and dcharlie would pay the hosting fees.

It's all in the hall of fame.

But I think the fat jokes were pretty much done.  the dude had lost over 100 lbs by the time he left and he was a huge part of the fitness thread.  He probably just got tired of putting so much into a website.  Can't blame him.

Everyone says dumb shit online. I felt many of FoC's race rants were trolls. Regardless, this is 2011. I'm not going to throw a fit over stuff said 3 years ago on Teh Internets. From the sounds of things, FoC turned his life around and no longer is a Ron Paul-tard. That's good enough for me

here's what happened, seeing as it's been a while and all that and it really isn't that complicated ;)

Wilco left, we had an outstanding bill for the -hosting- of the site (can't remember the figure we owed - about $300? some cash was collected, and i covered the rest after offering to pay in full) - there was -never- two boards. Ever. I grabbed thebore.com and please-understand.us addresses. Evilbore was still continuing but as Wilco owned the evilbore.com domain name we were going to HAVE to change name, it was unavoidable as any attempts to contact him regarding purchasing the name went unanswered.

Even worse was that , to my horror , i discovered that Evilbore.com was registered with fucking GoDaddy (who can really seriously go fuck themselves - how what they do isn't classed as illegal is beyond me). So whilst i had purchased the two other names as back up, i persued Wilco (failed - no response) and sat and waited for the dumb as fuck auction period to start.
With seconds to go we were the proud owners of Evilbore. When it finished - someone had magically got in there and out bid us by a $1. A day or so later there's the standard hosting sitter site and a link to instantly purchase the name for $2000. Could be scripts, could be profiteering fucks inside GoDaddy. Fucking redonculous.

In the meantime we'd already moved over to TheBore.com (via Please-understand.us) - it was ALWAYS pointing at this board. ALWAYS. Demi did all the host config magic and we are where we are today.

I -personally- footed the bill for the last year of hosting. I own the domain as well. <evil> I OWN YOU ALL MWAHAHAHAHAAAAAA </evil>
Next TGS i am totally having Evilbore cards printed and i'm just going to have "Owning website, fishing troll" as my title so i can get our name around lol.
as a truly benevolent evil dicator you should have noticed no changes outside upgrades and some new lipstick on the site, no one got super modded, none of my friends suddenly got super powers, no one who didn't deserve it got banned, and Demi continued to run the place like a pro.

And the index remains lacking Himuro Plinko HD. :duh

Luckily those days are behind us and we seem to have entered a golden age.

the golden age is when we have a front page that contains the only truly accurate reviews in the entire gaming industry (because we pay for the games ourselves and don't have a corporate dick in each hand/hole) and we become -the gold standard- for reliable reviews that the worlds poors can trust.

I am actually mildly serious about this - i've been planning on building another site to do it but i'm starting to think having it bore affiliated would have massive advantages.

Been looking into stuff as well, but it's been mostly a mixture of 2 parts lazy and 1 part incompatibility

Nah, I sold it along with my XBOX. I had a ton of legacy stuff got about $3K for it all. I live right across the street from a magic shop though and I go and hang out with some friends from time to time. I really like the new set.

Instead of a numerical score, we should use symbols that can't be quantitative in any way. Bad games could get a score of moldy peach, expired coupon, crying baby in a movie theater, etc.
