Furor earned credibility with his accomplishments.

None of the people who like to pretend to be him have done the same.

It's an interesting analogy you bring up about Furor flaming, I wonder how much his actions back then had to do with how the forum is now ? I also wonder why we suddenly "need" to get away from the model here that has worked for so long.

Food for thought anyway.

way I see it, rightly or wrongly, is that massive 'in your face' posters like you , ut, dupin lalalalal rely more on volume than logic. Do you all have points and value? ya to an extent its just like wtf? if you think we are so fucking stupid we dont understand what your saying by post 5 in a thread then its YOU that sucks at communicating not us that sucks at listening. Stop fucking insulting the average 5 year olds intelligenge by assuming we cant understand you - just consider we just think your full of shit and couldnt be bothered to argue with dumbfucks no more? Or even that we do agree and dont feel the compunction to re-iterate it adnauseum to fill some 'win' criteria you may hold

This thread is pretty much useless at this point anyway...

Where in Florida you live, Hiram?

You may want to hold that applause Hiram, considering a vast majority of your posts are in the Vanguard threads.

Connection?

Hmmm….

The forum is awesome the way it is. What happened is a $30m dungpile hit the fan and soiled everyone around it but sooner or later the stink will be gone and so will be the inept company behind it. So with time I hope heavy moderation wouldn't be necessary as it would make these forums far less appealing.

I'm just hoping that the LOTRO release means we'll see far fewer Vanguard threads, and that perhaps Brad will just decide to buy a nice house in the Bahamas and leave us alone.

I stop by here in the mornings before work, and at the end of the day before I log on to game, and occasionally for a minute before I go to sleep. Sometimes more on the weekends.

I can assure you that your mental image of me is completely false.

SOmeone who so quickly defends himself like this on the internet is definitely lying. Let's have a pic of you and the gf in front of the monitor with this thread displayed. Black out your face if you're scared.

I agree, but only because he sounds hot from his description of himself.

Can't wait for LOTRO and especially AoC. The quality of discussion reflects the quality of the product.

So it seems. I've always wondered, what was it about EQ1 that promoted such fanaticism? (that seems to have rubbed off on VG) No other game has such "opinioned" fans. Seeing as I never played EQ, I don't quite get it.

Diffrent era, diffrent time, back when all this shit was "new" and undiscovered.

Now its just mass replicated crap....

Im guessing you are referring to the lack of discussion, especially in regards to AoC.
