Yeah, but it seems like Lonestar is too gunshy to say anything about it over here.

Also, Drinky, these are OAers.  Do we really want more of them around?

I am not, nor will I EVER be, an OAer. Internet forum wankers who jerk off to forum drama, the lot of them.

If OA was to die off today and never come back, I would be a happy man.

Well, then the posters would have to go migrate somewhere. Better to keep them all in one place.

huahua, you expected 17 guests to appear just out of nowhere? maybe one day.

I guest here all day at work, unless I have a reason to post.  In which case I'm logged in for an hour, and re-guest after that.  So that means at most 16 strangers here...

OA > GA

They are both shitholes, but GA wins (loses?) because it is boring and fascist.

I was an OA exclusive before Evilbore.

Evilbore got randomly mentioned over on GAF today. I'm sure it's caused a surge in guests viewing the forum.

I've never understood the point of lurking or just watching a forum. If you aren't posting it's kinda like watching your neibghor's TV through their window.

That "Pac Man Megaton" thread. It's in reference to the photoshopped XBL Bioshock demo picture.

I lurk at Selectbutton because some of the conversation tends to be a bit interesting, but I feel I don't have much to add, since a lot of their gaming tastes differ from my own, and they analyze games a little TOO deeply, meanwhile I take a more superficial look at games.

Spending all day on 20 different forums is kinda like watching life through a flat panel.

I lurked at gaf for a year or two before I joined; whats funny is the people that I liked and remembered got banned only a few months after I joined, lol.

OA is horrible. I always wondered what type of board would come about if horribly jaded people congregated. Slums of the internet.

Post by: brawndolicious on June 05, 2007, 08:29:19 PM
it's a lot funnier than here.  actually feels like an alternate forum to gaf (rather than just getting the bitchier gaf posters to talk about spamming gaf with links and hints).  OA goes through A LOT of change.  usually you get good discussion though.

by your barely literate standards, perhaps. i do a cursory scan of OA from time to time and all i see is petty bickering, racial slurs, and the usual gang of gaf rejects perpetuating their idle e-feuds while teddman plays the part of aggrieved housewife. fuck that noise! i defy you to find me ONE intelligent and semi-sincere regular at OA that doesn't also post here and in better form. just ONE.
Title: Re: 17 GUESTS?? register you simps.
Post by: DJ_Tet on June 05, 2007, 09:43:23 PM
My form is better at OA, whether or not you want to call me intelligent and sincere is up to you though.  I like to think I'm both.

No I saw that, however, I believe my best form is over there.

Semantics though, my form is fine here too  :-*

I just wish this place had more posters.

What I don't dig about OA and sometimes EB is when half the forum threads are about a poster instead of an actual topic.

True.  However, populating a forum with banned gaffers is an exceedingly poor idea, both here and at OA.   
Title: Re: 17 GUESTS?? register you simps.
Post by: brawndolicious on June 05, 2007, 10:21:48 PM
most people at OA actually get how to keep up the atmosphere.  this place is like dead half the time.  I'm being generous there.  do I HONESTLY give a shit to learn about another person's opinion if I don't know them and they're not highly respected for their opinions?  no.  what is better about the discussion here?
Title: Re: 17 GUESTS?? register you simps.
Post by: Van Cruncheon on June 05, 2007, 10:27:22 PM
who on oa is "highly respected" for their opinions? the discussions here feature articulate, knowledgable, civil participants, many of whom are well-read or are even experts in their fields -- no wonder you feel you fit in better at oa!
Title: Re: 17 GUESTS?? register you simps.
Post by: brawndolicious on June 05, 2007, 10:54:04 PM
They'd have to be highly respected for me to expect intelligent commentary from them and if I don't know them.
Title: Re: 17 GUESTS?? register you simps.
Post by: Flannel Boy on June 06, 2007, 12:38:00 AM
OA has about ten times as many active users, so it is bound to be more lively than evilbore.

Post by: Cheebs on June 06, 2007, 09:58:20 AM
OA is full of racists assholes who enjoy posting endless emoticons  and trolling video game systems more than discussing things.

You couldn't have good film discussions there like we do here it would always de-evolve into "PS3D0 is shit :hippolol" and other nonsense.

many do but we have some pretty in depth discussions on movies and other stuff often in a civil and knowledgable way, that would never happen at OA.

but look at oa, every single thread even halfway related to games turns into a passionately hateful troll mess. The trolling at EB is jokey and mostly sarcastic.

I've seen threads about movies there actually be interesting.  usually, you get more than two people having seen that movie.
