admittedly I should be asking myself that question because I was one of those faggots who didn't leave no matter what got thrown at him, but still

I can't say that I've ever actually read the GameFAQs forum, but I'm fairly sure that I-Mockery probably has a far more intelligent userbase. Though, I could be wrong, but I hope I'm not.

well, a far more intelligent userbase in terms of longevity of posters, with a few exceptions, but that doesn't mean it makes you into the same thing.

The bad thing about this forum is that almost every time someone genuinely entertaining and fun comes along it ends up being an old person who we thought left with a new screen name. We do rarely get cool people like J. T. Pednaud (i'm not going to even try spelling the whole name out, jerk) who I'm sure is going to disappoint me next week when one of our internet sleuths determines that he's actually Helm.

I realize that i might have the worst post count-to-how much people care about me posting ratio in i-mockery history so what i say probably matters to no one, but the problem isn't new people

there's always new people and they're almost always exactly the same

the problem is now all the people who AREN'T new are like exactly the same. it seems like people remember when they were new and no one liked them and now that they get it they don't wanna stop acting a certain way and risk getting kicked out of the cool kids club

i don't think it's a conscious thing but ida know

I like Tadao and ZAKO as well. I'm pretty sure they're actually new.

Looking through the lenses of rose-colored glasses helps.

Didn't Tadao say he posted on ezboard a long time ago or something?

[MLE]

and I see what black flag is saying, and I RESPECT HIM FOR SAYING THAT. I agree that people should just stop caring so much about what people think of them. Also, there's been a recent influx of changes and little controlling things from up above, and I think it's made people very nervous. At least some.

it's not a agreement, it's a declaration. word to your mother.

Tadao said he's posted on forums in general for a long time.

[Tadao]

I used to post here a very very long time ago under the name... Tadao. I was intrudeced to this place by Fark and I came here and started Flaming away in the Flame forums. I don't think they where called the Mock wars back then. It was all hell boke loose. And everyone was an evil clown. Well... I got my ass handed to me and I left for a long time knowing that I needed to battle trolls on easier forums before I ever came back. And I never came back. But the last forum I was one went all fluffy (or wants to be) ao I came here hoping to just have fun. But yeah, I'm new to this place basicly, not to forums though. Unlike some of these attention whores.

[Tadao]

god, I remeber when everyone used EZboard.

[Guitar Woman]

truthfully this was the first forum I ever posted on :<

[executioneer]

i only posted on the primussucks.com bulletin board before this and that shit doesnt count b/c posts got autodeleted after 15 days

[comhcinc]

i've been around forums for years, course i are so old that i remember the days pre broadband. most forums have "cleaned up" and have lost a lot of fun. this still seems to be wide open. happiness is a warm gun

[Tadao]

I inventeded the internet!

Srsly... I was doing bbs on pirate boards with (i forget the baudrate) modems dailing my friends local number sharing floppy disk hacks on my 8086 dx2. There wasn't dailup internet that I knew of. I remeber trying to get AOL and there was no local # when they first came out.

I may be older than Burbank...

[executioneer]

i remember those days too

though i think i was usin a 386 instead of a 8086 but w/e

[executioneer]

plus i remember my uncle had a ti 99/4a with a modem that he used to downlaod cracked versions of pac-man on

[Guitar Woman]

[comhcinc]

my father owned a computer store back in the 80s i was one of those annoying little kids back in the day, now i am just annoying. and fat. and hairy.

[ZAKO the GREAT]

my first forum posting, too. 0_o
i just tend to play it safe by not trying to act like a total dickhead/smart-ass in which, i could, like anyone could be, but i don't.
