MtBlanc Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 If you haven't noticed, I haven't come to the forums in a long time. I was really sick of the immaturity that came over the forums. So, I decided to take a break, maybe I was just getting a little tired of posting. But it turns out, that really wasn't the case. I came back today, and what do I see? The only thing that is talked about is this Thomas Returns crap? Come on guys. This is all we can talk about, some guy with a mysterious nickname? Let's grow up. Who should really give a damn about this mysterious nickname stuff? Once I thought that I had changed, but really these forums had. Now I can admit that. We've been slowly creeping closer to the cess pool that is crappy forums. Now, I know a lot of you love this forum and all the friends you have made, but personally this immaturity gets a little tiring. So, if you were wondering where I was for a little bit, that's what I was thinking about. I believe this forum has finally reached that cess pool. And it's sad to see. This place used to be great. What happened? For brevity's sake, I will stop my belligerency...for now. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtBlanc Posted June 20, 2001 Author Share Posted June 20, 2001 Oh, and by the way. I won't give reasons for why I dislike the forums now. That would be particularly harsh. But anyways, that's my reason for not being around lately and why I won't be posting in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brighteyesmonkey Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Yeah but ok I admit the TF thing stinks! But if you let people walk all over you then they'll do it forever. Little twerps like that should be banned straight away.And if the post gets through.Delte the topic and any topic relaying to it. Also what else would we talk about here? Monkey Ilsand? Phmph! ------------------ The names Monkey....Brighteyesmonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raVen_image Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Dinghy Dog is (was?) a breathe of fresh air in the stale, forum banter... ...further, he echoes my general reaction to all this hoolabalo...spot on , dinghy dog. That's not to say that any of you should stop gibbering, though...everyone's got to say something, but maybe the mods should handle the troublemakers...that's why they're there . ...and besides, if we stopped with the insipid topics, and inane responses...there would be very little left outside of the "clues and hints" forum....and that's even more dull than the usual fair That's not MY kind of internet ------------------ "But, I don't want to go amongst the mad people", said Alice.

Natty Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Dinghy, I agree, except I'm the kinda person who always stands up for my friends. Personally, I think it depends on the person, someone might see it as fun, while others may think it's immature what the person/s are doing, for example, the pillow fight, I thought it was fun, but others thought it was immature. One thing I don't like is gutless people hiding behind names, I've had some bad experiences hiding behind names, and some of you might say that's no reason to act the way I do sometimes, but as far as I'm concerned, people who hide behind names and then don't own up to who they really are, are pretty much gutless and afraid to say who they really are and what they think. At least I own up to my own actions and speak my mind under my own name. I also think, because we've all played EMI now (well the forum regulars) There isn't much to talk about until the next Monkey Island game is announced (if there will be one) or whatever. It's not your fault Dinghy if you find us immature, that's your opinion of us, we're all just having fun and I'm standing up for a friend, is that such a bad thing? ------------------ Check Out My New Homepage, And Sign The Guestbook, Otherwise I'll Be Upset!

MtBlanc Posted June 20, 2001 Author Share Posted June 20, 2001 Ooh, you make a signifcantly good point there Natty. These forums are not right for me anymore. I like that. (Bonus points go to Natty.) So, with the help of Natty, I have determined that these forums aren't right for me anymore. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaMonkey Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 And we all get bored sometimes. Live with it. Take a long break, Dinghy, and come back if you feel like it. Nobody is forcing you to come back ( 'tho I hope you won't leave permanently ). I myself don't care about Thomas Fellas anymore. Why should you? ------------------ NFGB = Nerd Fuck3r and Gates's B1tch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 That's true Mega, you know I wouldn't have cared less, but it seems like someone is trying to get NiKo into trouble, well I can't exactly sit back and not say anything, since I consider him a friend, which of course means I'm going to stand up for him. Dinghy, I hope you don't leave permantly, just a few months or so, keep coming back every now and then just to see if things are changing, if they don't well that's fine, but you never know we could surprise you ------------------ Check Out My New Homepage, And Sign The Guestbook, Otherwise I'll Be Upset!

Guest murta Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Originally posted by raVen_image: but maybe the mods should handle the troublemakers...that's why they're there .

MagnusB Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 So I guess I should reply then. True, I agree with Dinghy that these forums at times are a bit to immature, but what I have said the most lately is: You go cluttering up in details! Some guy named Thomas Returns showed up, and turned out to probably NOT be Thomas Fellas, some people thought it could be NiKo, some thought it was someone else, some remained neutral. No mather what your opinion is, try to keep it for yourself, although that is not excactly the point of forums such as this one, or everything becomes a big mess. I also agree with Dinghy when he says: The forums's degree of quality has decreased lately. Natty: You keep saying everyone are after NiKo, but Frenchy is the only one who has shouted out loud that she thinks Thomas Returns is him, while nfgb and murta seemed to be slightly suspicious. Everyone else either said nothing, or agreed with you, so I'm sorry for having to say this to you, but here goes: You are a bit paranoid. What you say Brighy: "And what else should we talk about here?", seems to be the problem it self. We are running out of things to talk about, and so when we have to arrange "pillow fights" as subjects for talking, then the quality has indeed fallen, and I hardly see the point now. I still hang around, but sometimes I truly wonder why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 I know Dinghy, but sometimes it's the impression I get from some of the people on the forum that they don't seem too happy that he's back on the forum, or it seems like there's snide remarks going on. Hmmmm this is what I get for spending 3years in the same chatroom, nothing but bytching and backstabbing and people becoming so paronoid they don't know who to trust. No wonder some of those people almost resulted in a nervous breakdown and no wonder I don't go into that chatroom much anymore, I got sick of it. Oh well as from this moment there is going to be a new and improved Natty. No more paronoia, no more bytching unless someone deserves it. Life is too short to worry all the time, still I'm always going to be mothering and worrying about people from time to time, so don't mind me if I do get mothering sometimes ------------------ Check Out My New Homepage, And Sign The Guestbook, Otherwise I'll Be Upset!

Guest Brighteyesmonkey Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Yeah well I start topics like that cos I'm raving mad! Why not its a bit of fun. God seriousness sucks!

MtBlanc Posted June 20, 2001 Author Share Posted June 20, 2001 Oh, I won't leave the forums permanently, what's the point in that? I'll check in every now and then, I don't dislike the forums enough to quit it completely. Just letting you guys know that I won't be a regular contributer, that's all.

MagnusB Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 I agree there Brightd00d. Being serious all the time is not good, but there has to be some sort of fun in the fun if you know what I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blondbeard Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 WOAH! return of Thomas Fellas! what did he do and how did he return.Have i missed anything else over the past week? ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 Nah not really Blondy, someone by the name of Thomas Returns came back, and had an IP from Isreal, and some poeple thought it was NiKo, others didn't and some people just didn't give a toss. Anyways, NFGB tried to figure out who it was, gave up after 2hours and banned the guy, along with some idiot called 'i know the truth' who claimed he knew the real truth behind Thomas Returns, but then it turned out he didn't. Anyways thats about it ------------------ Natty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
