Guest Incandenza Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Jesus...the amount of people who take this board so seriously never ceases to amaze me. And "Fletch" is the gheyest name ever.
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 I just want to know when someone was banned for just speaking their mind on here...
Guest Leena Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 I'd say zacalex919130912. He only did pathetic flames like most others did in NHB, and he was banned because the majority didn't like him.
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Nope. He was banned for flaming and trolling in Movies/TV after Bps and Kahran warned his ass, banned him, then let him come back and then he did the same thing again. So he's still wrong on that one.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 We let him come back? I remember warning him for his flaming in movies, than I think Rasmus banned him when he did it again. It's a common misconception that people are banned for what they do in this folder. People are banned because they brin their idiocy out of this folder and into other places. And don't give me the Perfect Plex argument, since he started that thread in music, and then used the pm function to flame.
Guest thesmartmark Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 I will take back the statements about people getting banned. But the rest still stands and I have yet to see a good excuse why this shit happens. Sure, this is a internet forum, you will have trolls, but that doesn't mean that bashing all the nOObs is the thing to do. I am glad at least that there are some intelligent replies from Banky, Alwayspissedoff, The Dames, spiny norman, evenflowDDT, and Leena. You bring back some of my faith for intelligent posters. Agent of Oblivion and Kotzenjunge, you are just helping me prove my point even more. You guys are the reason for the down fall of this board.
Guest Texas Small Arms 09 Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 I don't think Kotz and AoO are to blame or are even a reason to site the board is on a downfall. In fact I don't see the board on a downfall at all. The mods are keeping the peace as best they can do with all the trolls that we have had other the last 2 or 3 months. People like Brain, have been banned for using vulger language towards other members, using racial remarks and things of that nature. I have yet to see one person be banned simply by speaking their mind. The crackdown on n00bs is the fact that we have had our fair share of trolls and we want to get away from that. The Establishment is nothing more than a group of guys. It is just for fun, yet some do take it too seriously. I do suggest if you do not like the way things are run, you get out or deal with it. This is just a fun place were people can feel free to talk about whatever they want to, but you do need to have some order around here and everything that has been out of order has been taken care of quickly
Guest SP-1 Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 I'm still not convinced that anyone has gotten "bashed" as a newbie on the board. Now if someone comes into the NHB folder and posts a, "What Do You think of Me?" kind of thread, what do you expect to happen? Heck, posting anything in the NHB leaves you open to flaming. That's what this folder is here for, to be a totally open and free forum for people to voice their most heated opinions. If you don't like it, and you've made no effort to establish yourself as an intelligent poster, expect to be given a hard time. If you can't take the heat, get out of the flame folder, it's as simple as that. -SP, who says, "Bah" to questioning someone being given a hard time in the one folder where giving someone a hard time is the focus. EDIT: P.S. Leena, none of that was a remark towards you or anything. I was using a general type of situation. I saw that you had a thread named just that a few threads down after I posted this.
Guest Cerebus The Aardvark Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 I will take back the statements about people getting banned. But the rest still stands and I have yet to see a good excuse why this shit happens.

Agent of Oblivion and Kotzenjunge, you are just helping me prove my point even more. You guys are the reason for the down fall of this board. No, the reason for the "downfall" of this board is the WWF (WWE for you postmodern types) folder. Just saying.
Guest johndamnit Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 I think you are correct about everythong, but I have yet to see someone banned unjustly.
Guest bob_barron Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 I don't see any downfall in this board. It's still the same to me as it was when it first started
Guest bob_barron Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Smartmark- You've only been on this board less then a month so I don't see how you can talk of any downfall
Guest thesmartmark Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Smartmark- You've only been on this board less then a month so I don't see how you can talk of any downfall In the course of one month I have seen the quality of posts go down. That's what I have observed and the reason I say that.
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Ive been on this board in one way or another for about a couple years now, and Id just like to say that the vast majority are taking things way too seriously. The statements been run into the ground, but it is, in the end, just a message board. Nothing that happens here should really matter to you at all, whether youre established, or complaining about those that are. and bob barron is kind of a dork, but hes more of a lovable dork, like Happy Gilmore, or William Regal
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 In the last month? Um...sure.
Guest bob_barron Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 I understand a lot of people take things too seriously but I fail to see the point of saying a message board is going downhill after only being on the board for a month. If you dont like NHB or the WWE folder don't go in- there are many other folders on this board
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Everyone knows that things all went downhill when the refs started fast counting Regal.
Guest bob_barron Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Hmmmmm bps makes a very good point. Damn you Charles Robinson, damn you!
Guest Anglesault Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Smartmark- You've only been on this board less then a month so I don't see how you can talk of any downfall In the course of one month I have seen the quality of posts go down. That's what I have observed and the reason I say that. You've been observing. And you somehow think that letting the moron faction of the newbies blabber is going to raise post quality?
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 I dont think the board has deteriorated in the last month, and I also dont see, if youve only been here a month, why you would be so attached to the board that you would care if it goes down hill... its not the only board out there. do you expect the board to change just because youve come out and said you dont like it anymore? if you do, youre delusional, and if you dont, this thread is pointless
Guest Big McLargeHuge Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 I realize this is a flaming folder, but putting down people who are new is no way to run a board or folder. You're right. The people who think they run shit and talk about the nOObs like they are shit are the same people that got and are getting their lunch money stolen from them everyday in school. Assuming you're speaking of the Establishment, when have we ever spoken in a demeaning manner towards noobies, that wasn't just joking around? Never. The Establishment is a joke. And if we do make fun of noobies, it's usually justified, when they post nothing but idiotic tripe and/or troll the boards looking for attention. If you're not gonna add anything to a serious discussion, you should be flamed. But I have yet to see much of this as well. The mods are just as bad as the regular folk from what I see. Banning people for speaking their mind is a very immature thing to do, you know who I'm talking to. You've already been corrected here, so I won't bother. Get a fucking life and just have fun. It doesn't always have to be at someone else's expence. We are having fun. It's a message board folks. If you start taking what a bunch of complete strangers say about you seriously, then you're in need of some serious help. And with the exception of DJ Jeff (who is so 5 minutes ago and not a noobie), at whose expense are we enjoying ourselves? Well, there's HHH, but really, that's it. So for all the people that this pertains to, take a hint, for everyone else, sorry for wasteing your time. Great, except I have no idea who this is directed to. The Establishment are far from the insecure high school Seniors who punk Freshmen just for kicks, that you may think we are. And I have yet to see anything remotely resembling what you described in your rant in a totally serious manner.
Guest Paranoid Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Sorry dude, everyone is right. It seems as if you are getting worked up over something that is just a joke. I just jump in the middle of them and dish it out just like they do. I am the one who started the Not Established thread just to fuck around with the established posters. Most took it well, a few flamed me, but it is No Hold Barred. I expected it. I laughed, some of them laughed and it was fun. But really you should lighten up or leave! Edit: Did I just agree with bob-barron?!lol
Guest Leena Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Never. The Establishment is a joke. And if we do make fun of noobies, it's usually justified, when they post nothing but idiotic tripe and/or troll the boards looking for attention. If you're not gonna add anything to a serious discussion, you should be flamed. But I have yet to see much of this as well. Many in the establishment post idiotic tripe, also. In essence, you're flaming people just like yourselves. When someone like CWM "flames" someone, it's pathetic because he's an even dumber idiot that only posts garbage in every folder. I do think the mods here do a good job, but the argument that they trolled in other folders is crap. If Zack didn't post his famous thread in NHB, nobody would have asked you guys to ban him. In turn, many established posters, and myself flame in other folders. I don't agree with everything TheSmartMark says... but I do agree that this board has dropped in the last month. I don't think the established posters are intentionally ruining the board for people, but post after post after post of that shit sure makes this board less enjoyable for most. The entire first page of NHB is all establishment threads. It may be a joke, but it's long since been funny... and if you say we should like it or leave, then enjoy having the same 50 or so posters on this board posting the same shit over and over again.
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Guess what, he was flaming in the Video Games folder also, as well as turned several WWE threads into flamewars because he just baited or insulted everyone. THAT'S why he was banned and lasted 17 pages of that thread or however long it was when he was banned. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 I warned him solely for his actions in the movies folder. Regardless of what this crazy bitch would have you beleive.
Guest Kingpk Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 I don't agree with everything TheSmartMark says... but I do agree that this board has dropped in the last month.

THEN STAY OUT OF THE MOTHERFUCKING NHB FOLDER!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH! Stupid fucking people. If you don't like the Establishment, IGNORE IT!!!! This whole thing is pretty much an NHB exclusive so I don't see how it's "dragging down the board" or some idiotic shit. IT'S JUST A FUCKING INVISION BOARD (*pays royalties*). Jesus Tapdancing KatieVickFucking Crisco. *Calms down, has some dip*
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Mmm.... Crisco... Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest Big McLargeHuge Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 If anything, The One and Only Always Pissed Off thread was incredibly entertaining, I don't think anyone wanted that thread to go away. We were just tired of Zacalex going outside and being a regular dumb shit. It was also in this folder, which meant it could've stayed forever...had Zacky not flamed OUTSIDE of it. He was a troll. Had the mods been the hypocrites some say they are, that thread wouldn't have lasted the 20 or so pages it did. You're right. Many Established members post tripe. But that's not ALL we do. CWM may 'flame', but he can also carry on a serious discussion in the WWE folder or anywhere else. I'll tell you what though, there was a case of someone getting banned, that I was completely clueless as to why. That Perfect plex guy. But, if I remember correctly, he was a major asshole who was bordering on the Bruiser Chong-One Bad Apple level.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Never. The Establishment is a joke.

I'm fine with being an idiot. It's far better than being some loser who spazes out on the internet over someone mistyping their name.
Guest Leena Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Deleting someone's "work" is spazzing? K...
