Me and flatmate got wrecked on whisky and watched Goldfinger. That was pretty special.

[wankerwitson]

Guys all I've been listening to lately is the Manic Street Preachers Everything Must Go and Lifeblood. What do I do?

[Shapermc]

[wankerwitson]

You always struck me as Holy Bible kind of guy. Damn Guardian I thought the Richey-era Manics would be right up your alley.

I liked Lifeblood guys. It was rather elegiac. Nobody else did I don't think.

So did Crusader: No Regret

Mr Toups, I think you're a smart man of good tastes and very well chosen words. When we played doom together you used a word that, although the particular word isn't one that I remember, truly amazed me. I didn't know people could use words this advanced in real conversations! You've made me realise that learning to speak the english language isn't something that you can ever finish, and that I should keep on practicing, and that I'm not as good at it as I thought myself to be. You've also said things about games in our conversations that have made me think hard about things, and made me slightly ashamed not to have thought harder about certain things, or that my opinions on certain games weren't more advanced than they, in fact, were. You're a good guy, and I hope we can continue to be friends over the internet, and that we can play Live games with eachother more times. Talking with you almost always feels like a bit of a learning experience.

[internisus]

I'm not exactly migrating here or anything (kind of feel bad about registering to just say this), and I'm only halfway reading through this depressing thread, but......was any kind of backup of the forums actually made and finished, whether by Brandon or someone else?

Because if so, I'd really appreciate a copy, even if it's hundreds and hundreds of MB in size. There are a lot of things from the boards I want to save, and I didn't have the foresight to go after them when I had the chance.

I think I'm still kind of in shock. Like some people here, I think I kind of had an emotional investment in the forums, for better or worse.

[Hot Stott Bot]

Dude, just keep in the Refugee Camps and it will probably be fine.

[icycalm]

Zing!

Is it?

[Hot Stott Bot]

I guess icy is just that much smarter than me, what with his fancy degrees and all. You know, I bet if he worked really hard at it he could have even gotten into a school of nearly the same level as where I went to college!

(Normally I hate this kind of argument, but deference to higher authority is something that people of lower intelligence tend to cling to.)

[dongle]

Icy, the more you deride us the more you demonstrate that you don't understand how you could turn a majority of a forum, even those initially in support of you, against you.

[dongle]

guys I have an ivy league degree can i get some respect here ffs?

[dongle]

Icy I'll still be your friend let's talk about our education.

No, really. I hear you're chill outside of this particular setting.

[danger dangler]

[Hot Stott Bot]

No way man, I'm going to bed!

Night!

[Gouki]

I tried explaining this to someone who has no point of reference to Insert Credit whatsoever. She didn't really understand at all. It was sort of funny watching her mind tick over, and come to a conclusion that seemed to be less "I understand, continue" and more I wonder if I'm having fish for dinner?" Even the whole kiddy porn thing didn't bother her, so I'm starting to suspect she is, infact, stupid.

In other news: I totally had an audition for a commercial today. It was pretty cool. I almost got lost trying to find the casting agency.

I plan to be rocking the avatar in celebration pretty soon.

I finally made my way through this whole thread, and I'm slightly overwhelmed (ho ho ho); I hate to say it, but I'm a bit upset that Insert Credit is gone. I feel like I want to say more, but I really have no reason to. This whole turn of events is pretty surreal. When people on #insertcredit told me what happened, I didn't believe it; it sounded too fantastically bizarre. Maybe I was right not to believe it.

On a closely related note, what did Captain EO and Aderack get into it about? I missed that little conflict completely.

[extralife]

Man, when I started doing that, it was a big no-no.

[Mr. Mechanical]

If anything this whole affair has made me think that maybe Brandon shouldn't bring the forums back.

Megas is apparently clinically insane. I seem to recall that being the general consensus of those that spoke with him semi-regularly.

[extralife]

I linked to a post where he went berserk because I felt like it.

[D-A-I-S]

dammit double post

[crispus attucks jr]

H.I.R.E. B.O.R.T.

[Mister Toups]

Oh yeah, and sure I'll proofread something for you. But I won't be able to get to it till this evening.

toups if you die you can keep your 360 as i have one of my own now

see how generous i am isn't that exactly the kind of spirit that an admin needs to display

[stotelheim]

[SJ]

I've always liked the Insert Credit frontpage, but even considering all of their problems, the forums were significantly better than the main site. For a long time, It hasn't seemed like anyone gave much of a shit about making real features for the site proper.

[Rud13]

[Jeff Garneau]

you know, what with everyone blaming bad posters and recap and brandon and icy, it seems we're missing what actually is to blame:

e3 being cancelled.

i knew it would have effects rippling throughout the industry for years to come.
