Damn it, no. =(DeathNote said:
In a way, Segata Sanshiro was right. I am not saying it is anyone's fault on NeoGaf particularly, and especially not any mods/owners "fault", but discussions turn into raw savage battles in a matter of seconds now, and that is really, really scary sometimes.
I played a game of StarCraft 2 last night, totally dominated over that poor chesser opponent, and he says after struggling for 40 mins in his base: "you cant believe how much I hate you now" I was like:WTF? Why? Tried to talk him out of hating people over a ladder game, but did not really help. Same goes for some forum fights. Pointless. (And I still love many discussions here, especially the ones that are brewed over any particular game balance like in Magic OT, etc.)

Arguments can get heated here and I've been in my share of them but that's typically because both sides have the strength of their convictions. Debates are after all more fun when the two sides actually believe what they're trying to argue.
Course, there aren't really any shortage of peeps on GAF who will play devil's advocate with vigor. :>

getting pissed off that you're losing means you're invested into the game. I don't know if he actually hated you (it's the internet) but the fact that he cares that he's losing means he is going to try to get better, or continue hating people that beat him. Either way, it's a natural reaction to get upset over losing, especially in a competitive game like Starcraft 2.

Seems like there comes a point where you either respectfully ask for a ban and retire or you just finally piss someone off to the degree you're perma'd. Which is why most of the OG crew is gone. Kind of sad, I miss some guys, I should have got more info from them before they left.

Thanks Aeana. That friend would be me. Dragona and I used to work together at PGC and we met at a few events and we've been good friends for years. In fact, I'm pretty sure I met her at the same event Mike Works did.
In any case, that photo is not hers. That photo was of a co-worker at a Best Buy (obviously Geek Squad) I used to work at. My memory is hazy, but I'm going to say that pic was taken in 2005-2006? Maybe 2007, but I doubt that. She's also a fun person, and a sweet girl, but for completely different reasons. The two are completely different personalities, so it's really quite funny to me that they keep being confused as each other.
My only guess is that someone with nothing better to do with their life, knew about that PGC work/friend connection I had with Dragona, decided to fish through my webspace (interigames.com) and found a subdomain I kept long ago, where I posted a bunch of plain text links to a bunch of pictures I took one night at that Best Buy with the guys (and girl). If someone still has the whole archive, I'm the sad looking dude at the desk in a ponytail, squinting behind glasses in the blackface camo face paint. It was a horrible horrible night of doing inventory made slightly better by having good people to work with.
I kind of wish whoever it was that found those pictures would just admit to it. I suspect they might have downloaded the whole list of pictures (there was maybe 20-30 max?) and I lost them ages ago. Even the old Sony Ericsson phone I took them with has been destroyed.

Damn I wish Dragona was still a mod, she was awesome. People love Bish for being a hard arse, and hated Dragona for the same thing. And to call her reprehensible seems a bit strong, even if you do disagree with her stance on certain issues.airmangataosenai said:

I KNOW!!! DEAD MAN IS A FUCKIN ZOMBIE.
Pretty sure it was the thread where Bill Nye got caught on film by a security camera outside a Creationism museum and then they (The museum) posted it on the web along with a taunting message.Salazar said:
BigSicily apparently harbored some really bizarre and deep-rooted hatred of Bill Nye for being successful and absolutely flipped his shit over the incident, ranting about how Bill Nye shouldn't be provoking them... By allowing himself to be photographed without his knowledge and having them post it online...
He had claimed to think Creationists were idiots, which just made the whole thing even more perplexing.

On some other level, there are things that can not be said here because of the hive mind and stricter moderation.
Then again, they do talk about other stuff.

Look up "Mod Jizz" in the archives.
^ I've been banned for being an idiot sometimes. I think I said (amically, though in poor taste) "shut your filthy whore mouth" to Aeana. I always felt bad about that one. Got a nice 3 monther for that. Thankfully I usually repeat my posts in my head before I hit the post button to double check that I'm not being a jackass.
I'm remembering more people....Mike B, Hans, Kittonwy (sensing a trend here)...they're all banned, right?
I can't remember how they went out...

Was Aenae a mod? Heck, was Mike Works a mod? The only people I'm aware were mods before I started even lurking here are Drinky Crow and sp0rk. I'm young :3
Oh, and the only time I didn't think "wait, this is a silly post, i'm being silly" was the only time I got banned. Ha

Was Docpan banned? That guy was hilarious.

was the guy who wrote MOD JIZZ the same guy who claimed to have "taken a bath with his kid"?
JBaird has to be the answer here. It was a long, hilarious thread. JB really kept going to the bitter end. :lol
Big Sicily had a pretty good meltdown. He was either a troll, or just someone who really hates Dems.
Definitely not. Himuro's ban wasn't funny at all. It was a display of how sad of a life he lives. The guy got angry about a girl flaunting her titties. :lol That right there is a sign of a guy who gets no pussy.
No, what was funny was reading the White Knights coming to someone as pathetic as Himuro's defense....and in multiple threads. How do you defend someone throwing a temper tantrum over a female's titties? :lol
Let him be miserable with all the other banned GAFers at EB, or wherever they sulk at now. Good riddance

For all his stupid faux rage stories in the past, Docpan will forever be awesome for that story he told about needing to take a shit while jogging, which was then turned into one of the most profound and moving dramatic readings of our generation.

Well, he is sort-of right. The obsession with GAF that the spin-offs that aren't Costanza's have is a bit weird. The non-asshole board (if you've been to all three, you'll know the one) has a certain air of elitism when it comes their bitching about GAF at times.
However, it has Segata and so can't be that bad...
I also fucking hate how I have to tiptoe around naming them due to GAF policy.
