Main forums are getting crazy

[f|uke]

Tons of posts,. and its going to be a lot worse tomorrow, I am sure.

And after release? Whew! Its going to be crazy for a while.

I've been hanging out in there but I think I may have to spend more time chillin in here now 'cuz messages dissapear way too fast.

Heres a thread I especially like, which may appeal to some of the "Off Topic" crowd. Keeping it going and getting some real, thoughtfull discussion on it would be killer:

If the mods truly love us, they won't move threads from there into off topic...

edit: wow, after reading the first few posts of that thread, I already start to hate this place. A grammar correction, a flame because he doesn't like the thread idea(but posts anyway), and other random nonsense.

I hate people, when did so many newbs arrive...

Yah, but I managed to salvage it to some extent.

If you're down with the message, just tack on a toast to pay your respect.

That thread is scary...

[CyberSh33p]

[Tr0n]

[Icarus]

[Tr0n]

[Tr0n]

He got fired just when the forums are about to go too hell.

Its a direct quote from #halflife2. Isn't it ironic?

..fix what? Sorry to hear you've lost your admin,. but thats really little more then a bruse to the ego. They didnt pay you enough for the work you did here anyways.

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.
Then the whining schoolboy with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

[Sparta]

Don't carry that thread into this one. please

 

[Ames]

Shakespear?

[CyberSh33p]

and now the icarus thread is closed, cause everyone knows the best way to handle a query for information is to ignore people bluntly.

 

[Tr0n]

yessiree.

I don't know how I knew it...but that was the first name that come to my mind.

I don't blame them, Half-Life 2 will be released/activated in 2 days/1 day (depending on where you live).

[Tr0n]

Yea....I signed up but I haven't been there in a while.

 

[f|uke]

And is looking better by the minute. Hell, even HL2w0rld is looking decent right now.

HL2World has always been decent, and quiet too.

Read that for christ sakes.

I don't want to piss on Icarus, he's a great guy, but yes, he extremely often comes across as an egocentric person and the way TDE described it sounded very much like him. I already suspected that he did stir this up to get the members on his "side", good that TDE had the guts to clear things up.. I don't want to take anyones side but the truth is always preferable.

thats his answer to everything. that was his answer months back after that #discussion thing to me in PM. thats his answer to every questioning of moderator decisions around. maybe I'm a bit hard on fenric right now and I'm assuming its him too much, but I don't know. maybe he should stop locking threads after getting in the last word. say what you feel, and leave it open. thats radical, eh?

the rest of the staff who keeps lockiing this, can you guys consider that for a moment as well?
