I just wanted to try this awesome scrolling text out, but I believe demi layed the smack down and you should bow down to him because he loaded his pistol full of truth and shot you right in the face with it. I really like typing long sentences to see how it will look when its done scrolling. <3 Peace out my niccas its time for some sleep.

This board is going to kill OA. We offer all the perks of GAF with many of the freedoms of OA, minus the racist/homophobic/cheeseburger porn shit that goes on there. And that's definitiely a good thing. OA challenged by sexuality like nothing else.

I dont think this forum is going to kill any other forums. OA is a haven for racists and hate mongers, we are not. So the demand for a forum for racists and hate mongers still exists. OA has no problem.

GAF has nothing to fear, I mean even if we take all the good people, the ex-teamxbox and ex-ign people are enough to keep ad-views high.

GAF will always survive, but I honestly think OA will lose a lot of attention. When people are banned from GAF, they flock to OA. So there are a lot of sensible people there who are annoyed by the racism that happens there. Now that EvilBore is around, there's no reason for exiled GAFfers to go to OA unless they really want their intelligence to be insulted.

So far it seems to have a lot of what makes GAF popular without the gimmicks that make GAF nearly unreadable. Well done.

You just need to steal more topics from GAF to generate discussion. Boxart threads and such. Just as long as this place doesn't turn into sales age part deux. ZZZzzz...

I don't see that being a problem at all.  More topics will come with more members.  I'd also like to see  separate gaming and OT sections once that happens.  I think in one of the threads Willco (I think) said that's the plan.

And I agree about the salessszzzzz.

phoenixdark and maf are fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellows.  OA isn't a haven for anything other than unfettered discussion.  some topics, sure, are harsh and beyond the pale for your delicate sensibilities, but by in large everything is said in jest and people keep coming back for more.  OA really epitomizes community.  just the fact that the forum is still alive after mulitple server relocations over 5 years speaks to its prowess. 

i hate when fucking idiots pigeonhole OA into something that it's not.  it's just a forum where people go balls to the walls.  if that offends you or upsets your balance because there is no mod to protect you, then quit fucking browing the forum.  case closed.

OA is just a place where closet racists can feel at home. Lots of people have huge balls on the internet, and OA lets them teabag everything under the sun in the name of "freedom". Please. I have no time for cowards. Not one of them would call me a distinguished black fellow to my face; instead, they'd run to the computer and post it.

OA isn't "balls to the wall" -- there's nothing of real import discussed there, and god help us all if they attempt an examination of anything beyond a playground level. It's a bunch of mall thugs pushing each other around in a parking lot, occasionally moaning that they aren't allowed into Hot Topic any more. Pushing the limits of shallow verbal affront isn't balls to the wall -- in fact, it's anonymous internet cowardice in its purest form.

There was a time when you weren't too far from a PhoenixDark yourself, Lonestar.

most of Phoenix Dark's OA posts were really allright, however if people like him feel like joking around on a forum such as this one instead, well let them be

yeah I understand that most people won't ever really be found of OA because of all the nagging bigots and their endless ad hominem attacks, however it goes well beyond that -- it gives you a lot of freedom and it's up to you to do whatever you want with it, even if the forum has lost some of its past sensibility and irreverence it's still a very good community in my eyes. I have a clandestine GA account but almost never post, and always rush back there even if I'm a nice guy, just as hundreds of other very kind individuals do.

raw emotions are interesting to witness, it's frankly interesting to read uncensored opinions without all the candy-coating that surrounds other places, although I guess it isn't for everyone, but it holds some of the most intelligent and eerily sensible internet posts I've ever seen

and this board could have a promising future, but its competitors have been around for nine and five years respectively, so nothing is won yet, seeing as most people never hang away from their core gangs of friends for very long -- it looks like GA's OT but with more maturity and less trolling, which is a cool thing in itself, now let's see how it will grow over time :)

hehe, well our individual appreciation of wit is subjective, so I honestly think that your opinion of the place isn't going to change :P

i think it's more a state of mind instead of individual postings, there people are very close to one another and if you're always cynical at things and keep questioning everything without deluding youself over certain taboo ideals, you're going to get a realer view of things and develop a higher level of critical thinking, people on other communities don't always show their true colors since they're afraid to offend and seem to lack skepticism, perhaps it's why an unabashed place such as OA is sometimes refreshing

after having envisioned the world for nearly a year and a half through the eye of OA other places just seem so artificial and naive with their ideas, while this kind of raw thinking keeps on satisfying my infinitely curious mind :)

Really? It's just silly internet tribalism over there in OA, and it isn't even a fraction as mean or as intelligent as USENET circa 1991. Fuck, I'm an internet pussy compared to the masters of the bastard trade from that era. Videogaming in particular doesn't tend to breed the real monsters of the internet.

You'd like to think they're hard because they've fuckin' excoriated you and you've withstood it, but in terms of internet intellectual cruelty, they're little wibbling clits. They have no real insights or rigor of wit; they're just persistent and angry. You got beat on by a bunch of benchwarmers. They'd bawl into their Special K if they ever ran into the crew of alt.tasteless, class of 1992.

yes I know and I actually fully agree with the second paragraph, I didn't mean to pretend the contrary and find most retorts to be incredibly tame and stereotyped, and myself longing for something more cruel and substantial, but still I like how really lucid some people are

still for some reason I feel oddly at ease there, at least I guess that for some obvious reasons I need to constantly escape from real life in some messed up Internet space, and that it's funny to see naive people getting put back in place and not taking one another's cruel jokes seriously -- if most people are toughtless than at least I find it to be an entertaning parallel to how ignoble and petty most everyone in real life really is, despite the masquerade they put out

the pettyness and toughtlessness is fun to healthily laugh at
