RPG.net still bashing this place...

Quote from: AosFWIW I've worked for banks as a teller, an account investigator, and a fraud investigator and I am actually shocked that anyone ever gets their money where it's supposed to go ever.

QFT. And there are even options for the less sophisticated criminal. For example, I had a case once with a guy who handed his check to the woman at one of these check cashing places and then when she counted the money out he grabbed both the check and the cash and ran for it....and the stupid thing was that it was actually a check legitimately made out to him. He just wanted to cash it multiple times. So yeah, it is something of a miracle that money ever gets where it is supposed to go.

LOL Remember our friend ChangoChi? TT has a sticky in his "honor". 10 socks banned, all for porn spamming.

And I think one of 'em was trying to stir it up between the boards...saying it was a regular here that was posting. Specifically :

Quoteyeah, whatever, knowing the people at that site, they would pull some kind of crap like this. Have you ever read the guys blog who runs that site?

Yeah, I know. It's passe to post shit like this.

And I almost agree with this:

QuoteIt's just some guy who got banned here and on the rpgsite (a real acheivement, I might add)

as this forum is very well behaved. Unlike another board I can mention.

....also it looks like the nickname 'TBP" for The Big Purple bothers somebody over there. Take a look at post #35 and onward :

Lets just keep those axes grinding...

shewolf · April 10, 2008, 02:13:56 AM

It amuses me. I have no real axe to grind, as I can freely post at either place.

Well, as freely as the average user over there anyway.

S'alright - probably directed at me and a couple of others.

I think one of the most sickening things about the TPP (The putrid purple) is the way people there are starting to feed into the mods godhood delusions with those "posters" making the mods out to be such awesome godlike badasses, and praising them like petty divinities.

It's bad enough the mods there like to mock their critics by (supposedly) making jokes about being tyrants, but when the users start acting like they're gods and making those fucking posters praising their "badassesness" it just makes a man sick.

Just think of it as paying insurance premiums, Zardoz.

If you make the mods dislike you, they eventually find some reason to ban you. If you make them like you, then when people hit the report button for your posts, you get cut some slack.

It's a sensible approach.

I call it toadying, sucking up and ass kissing.

But to each his own, I respect your view on the matter.

Are we sure this guy ain't Nox with a new handle?

Just wondering......

That's a negative way to put it. Accurate, but negative.

I prefer just to call it "paying your insurance premium."

So what do you all get out of bashing RPGnet?

I can understand if you have been done wrong by some Moderator from there in the past, but I don't get it if you've brought your bannonization upon yourself by doing something stupid.

I admit, Stephenls smartass commentary doesn't help matters and was beneath him, still I don't see the reason to continue with the forum vs. forum bashfest. So, enlighten me on this.

EDIT: I've just finished reading The Levi Rant/Encounter thread, and that makes my stomach turn while giving me a better picture of what's going on.

For this site to grow, to move from strength to strength, we need to get over the RPG.net stuff. I would like to see this site as a forward thinkning forum which can have have mature converstaions about aspects of our hobby without the need for mods, hugs, kittens etc.

To be the best, which we are perfectly capable of becoming, we need to let go of the past and start building for the future.

:cool:

Think of it as therapy. It's nice to get those frustrations out from time to time, ya know?
