Re: Someone must really have a grudge:

Oh oh, I started a drama thread -.- I didn't mean to! I was really very concerned with online/internet security more than anything.

Re: Someone must really have a grudge:

In reality, it wasn't and it won't be.

Not by Taj, but they pretty much concede the forums have tarnished their community image,

From BG-Wiki frontpage:

Accusations of elitism in the past have been both rampant, and quite often, embarrassingly true. In and of itself, the decision by the Blue Gartr community to establish a wiki represents a dramatic shift in both attitude and policy towards others. While there is nothing that can be done to erase the past, nor nothing to be said to quiet our current critics, we hope that our actions will speak louder than words.
Building trust is a gradual process, one which requires the willingness of those involved to achieve. To this we say: our doors are wide open, our incredible breadth of knowledge exposed, and our trademark memes finally separated from our expertise. Unabashed criticism has no place on these pages. For those seeking debate (as those who are already familiar with us well know), our forums serve as an excellent source of confrontation

Long version of "Our forums have degenerated into shit and we know it. To actually try and moderate those forums now would do more harm than good, so just take your Allatardism there and let the wiki be informational."

Re: Someone must really have a grudge:

I dont think anyone that is not directly invovled with this will remember or care about this in a week's time. meaning, pretty much all of us.

Re: Someone must really have a grudge:

omni: I'm not sure what you're talking about. I only go emo in the face of good friends. I keep my self-pity bitching to myself.

edit: Hey, I'm one step ahead, I already don't care! Go me.

Re: Someone must really have a grudge:

Allatardism

That word needs to be added to the dictionary. Or at least Urban Dictionary. No, fuck it, I'm calling Webster!

Re: Someone must really have a grudge:

Since when did this degenerate into a bashing thread? Achieving nothing people. Fair enough to bring this up for the concern about account safety, but honestly, the drama doesn't really belong here. Everyone will have different opinions - which all are entitled to, but even though I'm not a mod, this is one step off flaming in this thread - which these forums try not to do...

Just trying to be a voice of reason here.

Re: Someone must really have a grudge:

Pay attention to what you post god damn it.

ignorance is not an excuse for idiocy.
Sev: So it's alright to condone criminal activity, as long as it benefits you? Or is it just alright to condone when it's the popular thing to do?

Feba do yourself a favor and go read the other 2 locked topics on this and how I say Taj was wrong for how he procured the information. Atleast give yourself a chance to win this debate if you're going to start this one with me. Also I would recommend Introduction to U.S. Federal Law 101, and 201 courses. Then I would suggest taking two eight hour long seminars on inadmissible internet evidence.

Sev: I really don't give a shit about your excuses. Fact is, BG supported him when they found it fun or entertaining, even though it's still illegal.

No those people have no rights to beat on him he deserves punishment yes, but those people are idiotic for posting your games "SS#" on an insecure source of information.
Sorry for the bluntness I am about to exhibit to the majority of the site but:
Feba when did you decide that I am BG opinions? Did you catch a case of the fucking idiotic today?

Sev: When did you decide to assume that any reference to BG includes yourself? Your ego needs to shrink a lil, bud.

You are the one who included me, what the fuck seriously. Enough of me playing dumb on this site, and making dumb posts. Frankly I dumbed my posting down so people didn't ask me for shit, but really oh well. If you want to debate how you included me please attempt to make sense in one of your posts. Stop the self pity train as well, you attempt to jokingly make fun of people because you have little to no self esteem in your own life. Take a step back and think before you post for once, ya we were starting to get along but frankly I am fed up with this type of stupid shit you post.

like your knowledge of the legal system? lemme guess, logic tells you hes gonna get jail time?
more kettle black pot

Thank you Omni.

BBQ you take anything as an attempt to take a shot at BG, you talk about how their forums are complete shit. I would suggest taking a step back from this because if you take pot shots at one community you will get them coming back.

Re: Someone must really have a grudge:

You know what they say:

"Where there's smoke, there's Feba."

BBQ you take anything as an attempt to take a shot at BG, you talk about how their forums are complete shit. I would suggest taking a step back from this because if you take pot shots at one community you will get them coming back.

Dispite Feba being an idiot in this thread, he is right about one thing: You tend to take any BG criticism or "bashing" as criticism or "bashing" against you. I don't see Kirsteena or Amele taking such statements close to heart like you clearly do.

When anyone raises a voice in criticism against BG, you rush to their defense instantly. Please get over yourself.

Its getting old and I think its pretty clear on the front page of their Wiki that they know they have problems and wish to use that Wiki to redeem themselves as an information resource instead of just being a forum where you have to wade through shit to find diamonds.

A divide as clearly begun over there and that statement I quoted is an admission that their forum has tarnished their reputation. And they're right, the elitism was embarrassing.

Not really, they concede what many envision their community as. No ones opinion of BG is going to change over this or anything else that's happened over there.

Since when did this degenerate into a bashing thread

Since BG was brought up.

Re: Someone must really have a grudge:

Sev: Saying your name indicates a reply to your statement. Nothing more. Again, lose the ego and learn to read. Although really, if that post is a representation of you posting at your best, I'm not surprised.

[Sevv]

Re: Someone must really have a grudge:

Again Feba what your excuse is just happens to be pathetic. Coming from a "grammar Nazi" such as yourself, I would figure that maybe you would have learned about a nifty key called "Enter". The use of this key helps to separate not only paragraphs, but ideas as well.

Please do us a favor though Feba, since you enjoy getting involved in anything FFXI related please pick up a copy of the game and relearn the play style of today. This way you can be of some use to the community and not just the emo flame bait you are today.

Re: Someone must really have a grudge:

That's a very politically-correct way of saying "we're infamous."

Re: Someone must really have a grudge:

SevIfrit, you need to really chill out, I swear I can see your face all red ;p

BG as a whole: wooo Taj is so great

BG now: Taj sucks



hurts when it happens to you huh? hah come back is always great

[Feba]

Re: Someone must really have a grudge:

Sev: Again, I'm replying to you. That doesn't mean I'm talking about you specifically. Learn the difference, as it has nothing to do with returns or grammar.

And really, Sev, you don't need to play FFXI in order to speak English. In fact, it might benefit you if you focused more on the latter.

edit: also, you're doing this wrong. PROTIP: Get mhurron. He might actually be able to make me cry.

Re: Someone must really have a grudge:

This actually is a several steps further than what he did with wiki, he just did identity theft x8. He deserves to be locked in a room with those eight people and have his ass beaten beyond recognition.

Yes, these people were stupid for passing around their info and scum for (possibly) buying gil, but they should still be allowed to take brass knuckles and aluminum bats to his head.

It's really awful what he did. Unforgivable. But mob justice isn't really my thing.
