this has been settled, there is no way of telling who posted the 100,000th post
AND
does it matter?
and for VS leaving, as usual, i really dont have much to say about it
-
That would be Bjorn, it would be interesting to see what his thoughts are on this subject considering these forums belong to him.
bjorn\'s thoughts are my thoughts
he has trusted me for well over 6 years to run his forums (n64UNIVERSE and psxcentral.com) and has on two occasions talked me out of quitting because i was pretty fed up with a portion of the members
this is why i have this uncaring attitude
it is also why i am quick to remove a person i dont like
call it communism, call it nazism, call it what you will. this is my forum and it is run how we say so. i trust every single mod i have, and hand picked them for that specific reason
if someone doesnt like it? leave

Ryu has definately been the thorn in my side since day one. The very first thing I posted, he was there to make things hell, all the way to my final post I\'m sure. He places himself upon his almighty pedestal all the time, and talks down to everybody. Apparently its his way or the highway, this place has no sense of democracy whatsoever.
You\'re right and I hated you right from the start. I knew from your very first posts, which were around 6 new threads that contributed nothing to the boards rather then an extreme abundance of spam, that you would be nothing but a lame troll with one word replies that contribute nothing and extend the length of threads with inane and pointless dialogue that everyone could do without. I knew you would be good for nothing, and for the most part, you were with the exception of a few jokes in your direction and a dead end playoff run in the Madden league.
Speaking of spam and post quality, especially on your part, lets take a deeper look at this thread and the content of it. It has a general purpose, a topic, a lot of good points are made and obviously a large discussion will be stirred based on your few choice words. Now, with that said, just imagine if you had posted like this in the beginning with the same insightful comments as are displayed here. I for one would WELCOME that vapor snake with open arms, but instead, you decided to be a stupid moronic delinquent and slander other members with comments of rape, incest, and numerous references made to other members genitalia.
Be honest with me here, are we asking for far too much when we decide to crack down on spam? Is it too much to ask to take the same forty minutes making 3 or 4 great quality posts as opposed to 10 two sentence posts that do nothing save increase post counts? Is it really that difficult to post something that can add to the conversation?
You complain about the quality of these boards and how they are now that you have returned, but there was a day, far before your time here when the boards were far better and that same quality is what we want back and that would mean more meaningful posts from the other members on the board. Your one of the spammers that we want to weed out anyhow and I can safely say that we wont be hurt by your departure and the daily absense of dick and fart jokes that you so elloquently post with each visit.
I personally like Ryu\'s final blow to reseting my post count and then permanently altering my title. "Never funny"... according to you, your majesty. Most people did find me funny and did enjoy my posts. But its all up to the king right? I guess so.
The avatarr and custom title were not my idea, but I am guilty of making the changes. As for your post count, which contributed nearly 5000 posts to this board, barely any of them extending any insight into any topic, that was entirely my idea. You wanted to be a prick and not adhere to new forum policy, then you will be penalized for it much like other members have already. All you had to do was start thinking things through and posting more thought out replies and topics, much like this one, and nothing would have happened to you. Instead, well, this is the instead right here.
-
Vapor may get a little out of control sometimes, but everyone has there flaws. Some of you on these boards act like you\'ve never done wrong, how old are you Ryu??? 50-60??? For christ sake have a little fun once in a while and stop trying to be so anal about the little shit that bothers you.
What does my age have to do with anything? The topic at hand is that we instegated policy and we wanted all this spam BS to stop. I don\'t care if it\'s Vapor Snake or anyone else who did it. We want the quality of these forums to rise and wading through hundreds of "I\'m going to rape you" and "I want to ejaculate on your face" posts is not something anyone cares to do. I admit it was funny at first, but Vapor easily wrote 1000 different posts with JUST that theme in mind. How many threads did those posts ruin? What a waste.
Then, when he returns after being banned for this same stupid childish attitude, he decides that he wants to be a jerk about it and "not change his posting style at all" and beg for a banning. The first steps were a warning, but with good behavior, I would have given him back all his little options. Instead, he went ahead and posted this. He knew it would happen, he begged for it to happen, and now you complain about us being anal? Since when did the faults of other member\'s personalities and attitudes of others become the falacy of moderators and admins? The fact is, he was a jerk, a terrible poster, and he contributed NOTHING to this forum, save this post, and now he\'s gone.
Good riddance.

not 100% true
Vapour Bashed and drove out Tigeress (the recent New member who just joined the forumand has never been back since).
No wait thats a negative point.... ;)
yeah your right Vapour DID bring F_all to the Forum.
Screw him !

well said buddy
in fact it would only take a couple of weeks.
i think the Tigeress Incident proved that, it took 2 Admins and 3 mods to get people to back off and to give her a chance.

By the way they just used my banning as an example that they\'re tough guys and that they aren\'t afraid to use their magic moderator powers. When in fact, my banning HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SPAM AT ALL.
.
Actually the PM was to warn you for your abusive comment to both metal gear and tigeress.
Like I said abusive posts are against forum rules and you just happened to open your Bull$hit on a public apology between metal gear and tigeress.
Now who’s the moron now
Please Vivi do us all a favour and click on a few ad’s on your way out.
oh and ViVi
mods can\'t ban people thats a Admins job & power
Mod\'s can edit and delete your posts and make you look like a complete dumass...not that we need to do much work to make that happen.

this is very Entertaining.
/me walks of to get a cold beer and a bucket of popcorn.

Most people did find me funny and did enjoy my posts
Just so you know, Vapor, you did finish as a runner up in the "Tries to be funny, but fails time and time again" award at last years PSX2Central awards :p
And come on, Vid. You know my threads were a mocking parody of the direction these boards took many months ago. :)
-
I know. That\'s why I wrote that all my threads rock.. I figured you\'d realize I was just poking fun at ya.
That\'s what I thought. But then I figured you are incredibly egotistical and self serving in your own narsissistic and delusional ways, that perhaps you actually fooled yourself into believing the gravity of your claims.
You damn hippy, skippy. :)

I have my own site to attend to. :) Central has dropped well back on my list of forums I like to visit. I generally only have an hour break during the day with which I can use to post. I will oft only make it to Central with the minutes quickly dwindling. Although I do have more time at night, hence why I am here now, writing this post and looking at pictures of the Olsen twins playing twister.
Besides, the longer this site is bad, the most chance GT has of expanding ;)

luckee, perhaps you don\'t realize just how many posts the OT mods have been deleting lately.

As for Vapor, if you want to stay, fine stay. If not, don\'t. You complain about the "same boring conversations" and the "new approach". This isn\'t a "new approach", this is the way it was before you came here. The conversations are not all boring. What you need to learn is what conversations or threads suit you and which don\'t. Just because one is "boring" to you, doesn\'t mean it is to someone else. And it gives you NO right to ruin the thread like you are so known to do.
On that note, I\'d like to add that the forums were much funnier back in those days. When wit, irony and subtlety were put forward far more often than the blunt and to the point rape and penis jokes (which got old as soon as they became the norm).
I want Aaron and Weltall back :crying:
-
Masturbating is good, don\'t knock it. ;)
but altering people\'s post counts and titles etc is pretty lame.. imo.
Unless they\'re newbies and are here just for trouble.
When they are long term members it\'s pretty harsh.
But, admins love it..

Actually it doesn\'t matter what the mods and admins think - if they think they\'re above everyone else or just humble servants of the members. THEY are the ones who decide. And everyone else abides by their rules, otherwise they\'re free to leave. No, this is NOT a democracy. You lost that when you clicked "I agree" to the forum rules. Fair or not; their word is law.
Peace out.
-
As weird as this sounds; I dont want Vapor to leave. Although he spams, so does much of the members of this board. If any of the members of this board can say they have been here for a year or more and havent spammed, then they are liars.
Vapor brought a lot to these boards than just spam. I know he made a lot of the users laugh from time to time. All i\'m saying is that there wont be another user like Vapor, it sucks he is leaving.
-
These may be private boards. That\'s all well and good. However, I agree with Vapor almost 100% on this. I\'m not going to name any names, but I think some of you are complete morons, because in reality, there was a very select few of you that drove him away. He was one of the highest posters, and personally, I found him interesting. And yet some of you refuse to admit that he was a good thing here. Personally, I think this place has been more boring just in the week he was gone.
Personally, I also disagree with how this place is run in a few ways. I\'m not going to argue it...it\'s not my place to. I stay if I enjoy myself, I leave if I don\'t. But quite honestly, I have never been more unsure of which of these options is the most appealing than I am at this moment.

Vapor drove himself out, not the mods. He did everything wrong. He spammed like crazy, made terribly offensive posts, attacked random members, attacked newibies, made a vast amount of retarded "penis" jokes, one worded posts, ruining threads, influencing others to post spam, you name it. The mods/admins responded by doing their jobs. You just can\'t get away with all the shit Vapor posted. The mods acted in the way they were suppose to.
I don\'t get why anyone is defending him. He was warned frequently about breaking the rules, and then when a mod or admin acts on it, you attack them. What the ****?
Why am I defending him? Because I completely understand where he\'s coming from. The reality is, he did do some things wrong. He was warned for them. All that is fine. That\'s not what I\'m referring to.
I generally make a habit of not getting to hate anyone I meet online. Not worth it. However, this forum happens to contain the only person online that I can\'t stand at this particular moment. I won\'t name names, as I said before, but I understand where Vapor is coming from on this.

Why should someone have to prove themselves to be accepted?

I would rather not. I\'m just saying that I disagree with increasingly more and more aspects of the boards lately, but as I said before, it\'s not my place to say them
-
I\'ll miss your infinate piss but you did kinda piss me off at times.
-
Look, here is how I am going to do it. As most of you know, I was not an off-topic m0d until very recently. So, let me explain my status on this .
I will not close threads unless I have to. Instead, when there is one idiot in a thread spamming or taking the thread completely off-topic, I will just delete his posts.
I don\'t really mind some spamming, but it has gotten out of control. It is out of control when serious threads are being ruined because some dolt starts talkin about "raping", "ejaculating" and non-sense that has nothing to do with the thread and does it every thread. There is NO POINT in it. I don\'t mind humor and I don\'t mind slight spam. But on the same note, I would prefer some actual conversation.
As for Vapor, if you want to stay, fine stay. If not, don\'t. You complain about the "same boring conversations" and the "new approach". This isn\'t a "new approach", this is the way it was before you came here. The conversations are not all boring. What you need to learn is what conversations or threads suit you and which don\'t. Just because one is "boring" to you, doesn\'t mean it is to someone else. And it gives you NO right to ruin the thread like you are so known to do.
I don\'t personally have anything against any of you. I think some of you post in odd manners - but hey, go for it. Just keep it in the right thread and don\'t ruin other threads.
With that said, I hope you guys will understand what we are doin\' and try to help us out, instead of throwin\' any tantrums.
It\'s a good forum , that was once great. Let\'s try and get it back there.
-
Well Vapor... what do you expect from grown men that have nothing else better to do than chat on forum?
They all are probably like comic book fatasses.
-
Since we are on this subject, who nuked my Ritter thread and why? At least let me know why so I have some idea what I did wrong.

Why, no penis joke? :)

I\'d hate to see Vapor go because he came here a lot. But I think things do get out of hand here sometimes. It\'s kind of funny. Vapor was saying how he comes back and doesn\'t see anything worthy of replying to.
I agree there aren\'t a ton of topics, BUT it\'s so freaking nice to go into a topic and not have to read the bottom half of the post to see if its gone in a different direction or if people are just raping each other.
Yes other boards are worse. But I don\'t give a shit about other boards. I\'ve been on several and I thought they were all childish and pieces of crap.
Changing your avatar and stuff I think is childish, but that\'s just me. TO each his own.
I also don\'t want the board to lose it\'s sense of humor. I don\'t come here every day to read about politics and crap. I like a mix of both. They both have their place. But it needs to stay seperated. That\'s all I think any of us want. If a thread is bullshit like pretty much all of Bobbos, then reply with bullshit. If threads are refined and dignified like pretty much all of mine :) then why rape?
-
Nevermind. I just read your other thread. WHy would anyone want a board with all that crap? It adds absolutely nothing and it\'s utter crap. I agree with Ryu. You are worthless when you act like that.

I used to regulate PSX2central about a year and a half ago, and yes, this place is different. I, myself, have tried to tolerate the changes - but I do agree that the attitude of some members went a bit too far. It wasn\'t very pleasant to see every thread turn into piss\'n\'poo -fest.
Vapor, I never really hated you. You have an eccentric, foul-mouthed personality. The angst of teenage raged within you. But, on the other hand, you were very honest to yourself and to the community. Heck, you posted whatever the hell you wanted. In some way I even respected you. Your behaviorism felt like a publicity stunt of some kind. But you have to understand that the community does not work on an individual level. A good board-spirit can only be born if the members contribute their thoughts, opinions and humour in such a manner that every individual is taken into consideration. The off-topic board was never your personal play-ground.
If you now decide to leave the internet-community which housed you for many months, you make a serious mistake. Take the criticism and build a new online-personality which suits the needs of the community better. Learn from your mistakes. I know that you have the potential. The frustration will fade away and you will regret your decision - sooner or later. For if you leave the doors banging, you know you aren\'t welcome anymore.
-
I am not against the way the moderators and admins work, nor am I supportive - as I am in no position myself, I give my trust to those whom are above me and \'thus keep a neutral mind.
I moderate a certain message-board myself, under the name of Artificial Stupidity. ( Pal Gaming Network - not online at the moment, the server is updating ) Let me just say that Vapor Snake wouldn\'t have survived a week there.
The mods and admins of PSX2central are easy-going, in my humble opinion, and very active - which is always good.
-
If Vapor is able to throw his initial feelings aside and truly learn from this incident, he will gain my appreciation - and hopefully the acceptance of the moderators and administrators.
Until he proves his mental strenght, if that is to ever happen, I am going to be against his decisions.
-
Damn you, Vapor. Look at yourself. You can write. Yet you never really showed me your potential before.
I shall be silent from now on. I still hold a neutral position - while I am against your latest decisions, Vapor, I don\'t have any negative feelings against you.
Internet is meant to entertain and educate the surfers. Do whatever you wish with your free time.

heres the REAL DEAL.
this site is PRIVATELY OWNED.
this means someone you dont know, pays money so you can post here, and they can run this place however they want.
said person has trusted us to run the boards. and we do so keeping in mind how the owner of this site, who pays for you to be here, would want them to be.
were not just here to act cool, we actually have a job to do you know.
do you guys even realize that if we let this continue these forums would be complete crap in less than a year? and i mean COMPLETE CRAP.

if you wanna stay then stay, were happy to have you.
if you dont like the way this place is then leave, and have a nice day.
-
I am fairly surprised he has decided to leave, but I guess it is his choice. I certainly agree that a lot of his posts were close to the bone to put it mildly. Maybe he will reflect on his actions and return at a later date, who knows. I will miss his humour though that\'s for sure.
Goodbye Vapor Snake.

And when I said some acting above others I didn\'t mean the mods in general. More of just a select group of people. Its nothing more than annoying.
-
my god i cannot belive you have left.. oh well
and i know everyones gonna now take the piss out of me, but i have noticed loadsa spam on here, and yes it is annoying, ever since the time ot went over mf, i dunno, this place lost it a bit, peep where just writing complete crap, some one would write a serious thread, it will get hijacked, even our euro football got hi jacked by some yanks, i dont think i have ever writtenor looked in a nfl thread, so why do you come in our football thread, and spam it up...
yes i know i have spammed a lot in the past, but have now cut down a lot, and when i did spam, i still think i wrote a lot more in them that other peep, i never did one word posts
-
I have to agree with u Vapor the OT has become less funny without the spam, if there was a reason why people should not spam (like memory usage?!!!) then it would prob be diff or if the thread becomes to sick or something like that...
-
Ryu, here here!!!
VS, Dont let the doorknob hit ya where the god lord split ya!
Omen, It\'s not like this is new to him, VS knew the deal. There is no reason to PM those certain posters IMO b/c they already knew who they were. Its not like these are isolated incidents, this goes on from those selected EVERYDAY and almost every thread they post in.
this place has no sense of democracy whatsoever.
It has more than you know. Besides, this is private, you are welcome to pay the bills and have your say so mean something or start your own forum with your own rules.
-
Regardless of blame, why not delete said posts and warn the ppl instead of locking the thread. I was a mod at another board b4 it was over run with idiots and sure it was easier to just lock the thread, but deleting the garbage posts wasnt that hard of a job.
-
I never said I did. I just know how easily a mod here or anywhere will delete or lock the thread b4 actually deleting an individuals messages.

See, I\'m seriously convinced you have never visited any other gaming boards. There\'s always that member like me. The crude, obnoxious, and careless guy that adds his own (as awkward as it can be sometimes) flavor. You seriously overestimate the boards. I\'m more than capable of posting long and insightful posts, but I personally don\'t want to. I tend to keep my opinions to myself in serious topics. Speaking of, you talk like I\'ve been the catalyst to every dead thread in OT, so I\'m asking for some examples. I\'m positive that I only post bullshit once the thread has already gone to hell, or is on the verge. I have respect for the author of the thread, and others enjoying it to not just blabber irrelevant shit.
And since you visit so many boards, you should know your kind of posting isnt tolerated very much. I dont know why you need examples, they are all over the place. Just b/c you dont start all of them going down hill means nothing. You contribute to the garbage, which is just as bad.
Private? These are private forums? PRIVATE? Please elaborate, because when I registered here I was sure it was public, I don\'t know about you guys but I didn\'t get a special gold invitation to post here.
Yes, just because it is offered to the public doesnt exactly mean they arent private. The powers that be reserve right to refuse anyone they see fit. Even if they dont like someone screen name. By signing up, you are agreeing to the rules and policies. I forgot who said it but "this isnt your personal playground", dont like it or cant deal with it, leave.
Personally speaking, I could care less if you left or not. I do know I would love not seeing your bullshit posts all over the place(which are far from funny). That type of thing is funny once or twice to mentalities 16 and up...only the mentalities of 15 down would love that crap.
Our disputes in the past have nothing to do with this(except for the times I flamed you for posted BS). Like I said go and Im happy, stay and I continue to attempt to ignore your BS and Im still happy, just not as much. :)
-
don\'t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, kid...you were funny a few times, but mostly you were that kid with ADD in the class who prevented everyone else from learning.
Peace.

I\'m outta here. This place is definately at an all-time low. Everyone is conforming to this whole new bullshit approach and OT, the only place worth posting at before, is now as lame as the Suggestions forum. I mean upon my return I\'m looking through thread after thread and they\'re all just boring conversations with the same two or three people repeating the obvious.
Good luck with this new approach. Quite frankly from some people I talk to they think its lame as well and that all it does is axe the fun factor. Some mods are so sensitive to spam its frightening. You guys really haven\'t been to other gaming boards have you? Because if so, then you would realize that even the days when OT is at its spammiest, its pretty damn clean in comparison to other places. Its f*cking ridiculous how serious you take spam, and it seems like its always the same small selected few that complain about it. I bet if we actually had a majority vote of the regular members, and not the ALL-POWERFUL mods then it would show that no one gives a shit about the small and petty accounts of spam.
If you want serious discussions so god damn much go to someplacesomewhere.com or some shit. These are PS2 boards! A magnet for horny teenagers, men that can\'t get laid, and geeks of all various types! Hello?!?! What the f*** do you expect?
The only thing that really hurts about leaving is having to pull out of the Madden league, I had alot of fun with that, but I doubt I\'ll be able to continue seeing that I\'m starting to absolutly despise these boards and alot of people that run it.
Actually... I don\'t really hate anyone here. Everyone brings their own unique deck of cards to the table and thats what made OT so special. This week I\'ve been gone has made everyone blur in together so really you didn\'t know who was who anymore unless you read the username and noted the avatar. OT was about fun, and spam is so incredibly overrated.
Ryu has definately been the thorn in my side since day one. The very first thing I posted, he was there to make things hell, all the way to my final post I\'m sure. He places himself upon his almighty pedestal all the time, and talks down to everybody. Apparently its his way or the highway, this place has no sense of democracy whatsoever. In fact thats one of the biggest flaws here at these boards. The other boards I post at, and probably will remain at from here on out, have a bustling suggestions forum where there are live discussions on changes and adjustments to the forums, this way all members have say in it.
I personally like Ryu\'s final blow to reseting my post count and then permanently altering my title. "Never funny"... according to you, your majesty. Most people did find me funny and did enjoy my posts. But its all up to the king right? I guess so.
Its too late to give any shoutouts, the cool people know who they are and I\'ll always be on AIM (FearTheRedHead).
Later masturbators.

WORD. Although I haven\'t in awhile, saving my stash for a lucky bo-....er...girl. Yeah when I saw my reseted post count I was pretty agitated, sure its just a number but we all know that it means something to each of us. Just shows absolutley no respect whatsoever.

Is it too much to ask to take the same forty minutes making 3 or 4 great quality posts as opposed to 10 two sentence posts that do nothing save increase post counts? Is it really that difficult to post something that can add to the conversation?
You complain about the quality of these boards and how they are now that you have returned, but there was a day, far before your time here when the boards were far better and that same quality is what we want back and that would mean more meaningful posts from the other members on the board. Your one of the spammers that we want to weed out anyhow and I can safely say that we wont be hurt by your departure and the daily absense of dick and fart jokes that you so elloquently post with each visit.
The avatarr and custom title were not my idea, but I am guilty of making the changes. As for your post count, which contributed nearly 5000 posts to this board, barely any of them extending any insight into any topic, that was entirely my idea. You wanted to be a prick and not adhere to new forum policy, then you will be penalized for it much like other members have already. All you had to do was start thinking things through and posting more thought out replies and topics, much like this one, and nothing would have happened to you. Instead, well, this is the instead right here.
See, I\'m seriously convinced you have never visited any other gaming boards. There\'s always that member like me. The crude, obnoxious, and careless guy that adds his own (as awkward as it can be sometimes) flavor. You seriously overestimate the boards. I\'m more than capable of posting long and insightful posts, but I personally don\'t want to. I tend to keep my opinions to myself in serious topics. Speaking of, you talk like I\'ve been the catalyst to every dead thread in OT, so I\'m asking for some examples. I\'m positive that I only post bullshit once the thread has already gone to hell, or is on the verge. I have respect for the author of the thread, and others enjoying it to not just blabber irrelevant shit.

I may be in the minority in my interpetation of what you said, but it certainly seems a bit strange.
Exactly, I did get a PM from ooseven but that was for flaming METAL GEAR AND NOT TIGRESS. Maybe if ooseven wasn\'t a blubbering illiterate moron at times, he would have noticed that. By the way they just used my banning as an example that they\'re tough guys and that they aren\'t afraid to use their magic moderator powers. When in fact, my banning HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SPAM AT ALL.

Omen, It\'s not like this is new to him, VS knew the deal. There is no reason to PM those certain posters IMO b/c they already knew who they were. Its not like these are isolated incidents, this goes on from those selected EVERYDAY and almost every thread they post in.
It has more than you know. Besides, this is private, you are welcome to pay the bills and have your say so mean something or start your own forum with your own rules.
Private? These are private forums? PRIVATE? Please elaborate, because when I registered here I was sure it was public, I don\'t know about you guys but I didn\'t get a special gold invitation to post here.

Meh... I\'m in school, more later.

Geez... so many replies, I can\'t really be arsed to get back to all of them. But here I go...
Let me start off with Jumpman, he\'s apparently the most clueless considering his absence while I posted here.

You know what, you do that poll. The only votes that matter to me are the people that appreciated my time here. The thing that makes this whole situation interesting is that there is a large group who enjoyed my posts here, and then there\'s the group with sticks up their arses and just live to be @$$holes.
Oh and Gametrigger? Dude, I\'d rather be castrated with a hot iron spike than post there, don\'t flatter yourself.
I appreciate those who are taking my back on this, you guys have always been cool with me and its moments like these where that shines the brightest.
You know what the saddest thing is? This is the most interesting topic in OT to date. Eat it.

Until he proves his mental strenght, if that is to ever happen, I am going to be against his decisions.
That sounds great on paper, but thats not who I am. There is no shot in hell I would ever conform and change for anyone else. This is me. Stupid, obnoxious, and annoying. Some of you really need to come back down to earth, and think to yourself... was I that bad? I mean, I clearly can\'t see a single thing wrong with what I am and was doing before. Its petty. PETTY, PETTY, PETTY. I\'m actually surprised that a few members here have shown themselves to be so...well.... spineless.
If being myself is a bannable offense, then f*ck this place, and goodbye.

Viper maybe you didn\'t realize, but pretty much every team that reached the playoffs was cocky and full of themselves. Thats the great thing about sports games, shit-talking is a prime ingredient. Take that in mind when you enter season two, you might actually make the playoffs this time.
Everyone was cocky, I don\'t know where you\'ve been.
i post something as a joke then u just randomly post "i ejaculate on ur face
And is that not a joke too?
And while we\'ve brought up the Madden league, I noticed Ryu said this:
dead end playoff run in the Madden league.
....says the guy that wouldn\'t even have had a shot at the playoffs if he was in the league. Just ask Clowd, even he said himself I was the best player in the league.

Y\'all are insane you make it seem like Vapor put nothing forth to these forums. Vapor may get a little out of control sometimes, but everyone has there flaws. Some of you on these boards act like you\'ve never done wrong, how old are you Ryu??? 50-60??? For christ sake have a little fun once in a while and stop trying to be so anal about the little shit that bothers you. I know how it is cuz I get bent real quick about the little shit that bothers me too.
R.I.P
Vapor Snake.

This sums up everything that is going on right now thanks to Dan we have what is currently happening on the boards. Some mods and admins think they are greater then the masses, dictatorship here???

Uh what atrocity are you speaking of? I must have missed it. In any case, I have talked to a few mods about OT becoming less fun. Sure the spam needs to be cut back, but I did get a laugh from from some of the more "useless" posts. Warnings should be issued for those that do it often and then if it continues mods should take appropriate action.
Vapor does have one good point, this is a gaming forum. Its not like we are discussing physics. This place was fun and maybe it will be fun again. I for one will not be leaving as I do like most of the members and I am sure after this all dies down things will become fun once again. The main reason I have been here for over a year is because this place does have its own unique sense of humor and everyone contributes to it. I find it very sad that this issue has to be so cut and dry.

ooseven did (I think)... I talked to him about it yesterday.

This is exactly the point. He was amusing at times... especially his girl related threads. Seeing his problems made me reflect on my teens and I realized mine weren\'t half bad. :laughing:
I don\'t like to see any member leave or be banned... even SirMystiq and his pixelated girlfriend. :p

Actually I might be to blame I questioned if Shockwaves was going to frequent BK because he shared the same beliefs as Ritter... sorry!

Hate to see ya go, looks like OT will be even more dead than it is already.
As for this thread, I wonder if it\'ll be left open, or discretly swept under the carpet.

I have contributed to several threads in a lude manner but I have come to the conclusion that these forums need to get back to basics. The crap that flows from the “off-topic” is not going to be missed here when it comes to a minimum. I like to read meaningful posts and such, and I also came back missing some of those that left due to the influx of BS that was in the OT. I just hope that with VS gone and the others on the way out that Bobs Hardware and many of the others that are no longer interested in PSX2 Central will start posting more. I hope these forums get better. I don’t mean that they need to get more serious. Being a better forum is a contribution made by all posters. I just hope that in the process of becoming a better forum we don’t loose that sense of humor that has made the OT what is “was” when I first started posting.
-
Vid, I did the same thing. I read this thread and replied before I saw Vapors other atrocity. I have no objection to seeing him leave. As for you Bob, I hope to see you back on the boards here more often. Can’t we all just get along!?
-
Good point Ace. If a mod has a reason for deleting a thread than he/she/it should at least PM the person who started the thread or at least those responsible for ruining it.
-
bye bye :(.

He almost sounds like a girl...complaining like about everything here.
-
I’m a very infrequent poster didn’t really know him or his post but I do agree to some extent there is a heck of allot of favoritisms here I mean I could post something have it completely changed and left to look like that’s what I typed.... That’s bullshit... then the next day someone says the same thing and nothing. There is an awful allot of over compensation going on around here. Ya I know want some cheese with that wine but come on I HAVE NEVER said anything that was terribly inappropriate.

[/i][/B]
iv been reading the boards and uv surpassed cocky and went into annoyance. and being whooped is losing by a lot...usually. i lost by a whole whopping 10 points. and it wouldve been three if i didnt spaz and try to do a dump pass over ur corner.

I cannot add anything new that hasn\'t already been said. Vapor, I\'m extremely glad you\'re leaving. You contributed nothing but spam and meaningless and terribly annoying posts to the forums. None of them were even remotely close to being funny. You will not be missed by the majority of the forum members. You\'ve been poluted these forums for too long now. I\'ll even do a poll once this thread is ultimately closed.
Hah... later my fellow partner in crime. Dude I think I\'ll always remember that night you, serrano and I spammed OT over the 100k mark. Fun stuff, those were definately the good ol\' days.
Those were the good days for you, but for everyone else we had to use the scroller on our mouses a little too frequently.
I would say you deserve props for going out on a good note, but you really don\'t deserve any kind of respect. Now have fun and don\'t come back. :) And don\'t even think about posting at GameTrigger.
-
I\'m not going to name any names, but I think some of you are complete morons, because in reality, there was a very select few of you that drove him away.
Wow is this ever wrong.
Vapor drove himself out, not the mods. He did everything wrong. He spammed like crazy, made terribly offensive posts, attacked random members, attacked newibies, made a vast amount of retarded "penis" jokes, one worded posts, ruining threads, influencing others to post spam, you name it. The mods/admins responded by doing their jobs. You just can\'t get away with all the shit Vapor posted. The mods acted in the way they were suppose to.
I don\'t get why anyone is defending him. He was warned frequently about breaking the rules, and then when a mod or admin acts on it, you attack them. What the ****?
-
Then what are you referring to? The way this place is run? Explain.

Chances are, the votes that "matter" to you are the ones who are contributing to the problem that Luke posted ealier.

Then I have a high opinion of him too. Speak for yourself, you aren\'t in a position to speak for the boards.

As long as this thread is here on the first page, I will be here. I didn\'t just start a whole thread just to leave it behind, I thought it was obvious I had intentions about talking about this, apparently your not smart enough to comprehend that. Just please stop replying your input is worth jack shit to me.

VS, didnt u leave?
i got really nothing against you, but walk away
if you keep coming back and adding yer two cents, you are confirming what they say about you
and as for this topic staying on the main page.......
