NeonBob is another Poster I've heard of. Whatever happened to him/her?EscapeGoat said:- this was back in 2009, before User Groups and even counts of like 2500, 3000 and 5000 were massive milestones, unless you were NeonBob
[HEADING=2]Something like this?[/HEADING]
Mythrandia was....interesting, I didn't know Matthew had left but that sucks, Boudica was again, interesting, but I didn't agree with anything she said, Zeel was pretty cool. I have to say though I'm kinda glad Mortai got banned. Even when he was arguing a point I agreed with he'd do it in the most snide, childish way possible, calling multiple people liars and using the word strawman at least a million times a day (he would be calling this one, too), but even though I'm glad, some part of me misses him I suppose.
it was impressive she caused the article to get changes and even a little note added, she then asked to get banned....Copper Zen said:
I mean here was somone who aparently outright decided she wasn;t getting borderlands 2 because of some stupid thing a guy said
My god! I loved that person! She was as "unique" as Zeel was angry! I never understood what the guy was saying but I loved ever minute of it. hahaTopazFusion said:
Also, isn't didn't she have the oldest joining date?
She was...interesting. She really loved Japanese bullet shooters, didn't she?Vault101 said:
Yeah she was quite a interesting person to say the leastTopazFusion said:
OP:Have to admit that I miss Katatori-Kun and Danyal. R&P really isn't the same without them.
While I don't understand how his ultimate posts got him banned, I shall remember Karutomaru for his opinions like Capcom being the best developer, and that gaming is dying because of lack of Wii core game support. And the fact that in almost every thread he commented in, he would respond to everyone's answers he disagreed with, just to say that they're wrong.
Since other people have mentioend Lilithslave's abandonement, I do actually miss them. They were very misunderstood, like them feeling outcast when they made a thread about Touhou being the one true religion, and nobody saw the jokeyness in it because it was obscure enoguh for people to take it as some kind of oppression by hipsters. Basically getting disliked for expressing their love of a game. That's a bit sad for a gaming site.

Holy cow, that was Avykins.Zombie_Fish said:
That avatar has brought back some memories.
But getting back on topic, I do miss folks like Avykins, Straying Bullet and Pimp Peter. (Thankfully Therumancer isn't banned - his posts are win-bacon with awesome-sauce on it.
Don't suppose it was Demented Teddy was it?Quaxar said:

Nah, NeonBob got some forum fame for being one of the first (if not the first) poster to hit the 10K mark, mostly because he constantly posted in Forum Games. As far as I remember, he'd dig back through pages of RP (this being back before Forum Games and Role Playing had separate forums) just to find games and keep them alive. He's still going as well - I've noticed him whenever I go lurk Forum Games (I never post though; never want to disturb the games, seems rude somehow )Man, I remember Commi, but I thought he just changed his Username. Didn't realise he got banned afterwards as well.lemby117 said:
Holy cow, wasn't that Avykins? Guy trolled the crap out of quite a lot of people, if I recall correctly.Zombie_Fish said:
Pararaptor [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/Pararaptor]? It's possible he's on Mellow Leprechauns with Furburt and Hubilub, but I wouldn't know for sure.Caramel Frappe said:
...shit, this thread makes me feel old and miserable.
e few tears i do shed as i walk down forum road. the history i missed and scandals i was not aware of. maybe ill be in my own scandal one day.
Yeah, I know what you mean; the site does feel different. Not good different, but not bad different either, to me. I mean, I started lurking from the end of 2007, and the site had a totally different atmosphere (as well as, of course, an entirely different line-up of people, pretty much all of them now left). I seem to remember 2009-2010 being maybe a little more abrasive thanks to the grumpy celebrities, and the forums today do suffer a large number of the 'in' topics, most of which are worrying in content, but all in all they're easy to ignore.Caramel Frappe said:
As for growing into it and knowing what to say and what not to say, I don't know. It always struck me as being pretty obvious in what would get you moderated and what wouldn't. It all seemed to be common sense, but then I suppose if that is the case it should come as no surprise to see so many banned
Well aren't you just the nicest? :3Caramel Frappe said:
For what it's worth, I hope not. Surely it's far better to become known for being a great poster, with well constructed and eloquent arguments, a positive outlook, the ability to reply to abusive or argumentative posters with grace and tact and a willingness to help any other forumites? It's harder, but it's got to be better than being known for being abusive and then getting banned.xshadowscreamx said:
On one hand I was annoyed that he was trolling my thread, on the other hand people coming to see him and hazy argue may be the only reason my simple build advice thread go so many views, so in a way I actually owe him.thesilentman said:
Whoa how did I miss that? I remember her quite well, always had to use all my willpower to not reply, because I knew arguing with her would get me nowhere. Can't say i'm sad she's gone.Vault101 said:
OT: As others have said, Mortai Gravesend and Mathew94 will be missed. Also how the hell did vault 101's health get so low? she seems almost Daystar levels of mellow.
Isn't that the dream? To become famous on these forums only to lose it all in an battle of epic proportions.
To go down screaming, clawing at those who wish to put the final nail into your pressboard coffin.
I unfortunaltely missed the fall of Danyal, one of the few on this forum with whom I regularly found common ground.
I will forever, however, dance upon the graves of Boudica and... Wait, he still has one more warning left. Never mind.

of course i would be the good guy in the story, or framed for something i did not do. i will be the guy who the forum's deserves.
There is no need to be unpleasant to people, no matter how dedicated you are to the subject matter.
That is why people are banned, that is why I do not miss that attitude.
