O'club

[NUKE]

Monday, Monday.....can't trust that day.

I never posted there very much, but I enjoyed watching others be goofy  

To me, it was a fun time to visit the O Club. Like some others have suggested, just place a disclaimer as you enter and let whatever fly!! The OC is like 200, you dont have to go there if you don't like whats being said. Gonna miss it.

I'll miss the O'Club.  I'll miss it more than most.  I'll miss the laughs, etc.  Some know why it was closed and in what particular thread.   They chose to be selfish and post inflammatory remarks, and ruining it for everyone else.  Someone even reneged on the reason he posted "was to seem like billy bad ***".    Now look at some of you?      I saw this coming months ago.  

Oh well, I'm sorry for posting what HAD to be posted in "The Thread".

Y'all think YOU feel bad?

How would you feel if, throughout 5+ years and who knows how many posts there, your very last post, evar, turns out to be: "Lazs wins."

I tell ya, someone upstairs has a sick sense of humor!

If HTC can't take the risk of keeping the OC under a lawyerese clause of liability, they could link to chk6, if chk6 doesn't mind taking charge of it.  That way regulars (i.e. non-addicts) and less regulars aren't lost.

Only reason I can agree with is it being work for nothing on Skuzzy's part.
It'll be a shame if the threads aren't saved or given to Chk6 for open archiving.

I met MT and Saw through the O'Club.  For those two events alone the O'Club should be closed!

So... is it true what they say about MT?

You had all better get used to seeing these now:

LOL...WOW...8 closed topics on page one about the O'Club. That's got to be a record....LOL...I didn't visit it much so it won't effect me. To me you guys just need to open a new O'Club on a different site. Seen several guys offering it. Checksix.net and a couple others. Problem solved IMO. i am sure someone that doesn't agree with HT on his decision will have some arguement about going elsewhere and that's OK. But sitting here getting all bent over something the managment has decided on, probably won't change it. If I used it alot I probably would be a little upset, but there are different options out there you all can utilize. Well hope you all get yourselves an O'Club somewhere. Good Luck!!

Bring Back the O


(please)

This was sad news to wake up too.

Can't really blame them for closing it, but its still a shame. Gotten to know a few nice people there and even a few evil once , but nothing lasts forever.

HTC and users.

 We've witnessed the complete degradation of that forum and will have to discuss what options are in the best interest of this game and company.  

The entire O'Club forum degragated? I don't see that at all. I see a thread or two ( really just a couple people)  that became problems at the most.

No need to get all emotional about it. If you don't want the O'Club, so be it. But to say that it "completely" imploded is a vast overstatement.

i sure am going to miss nuke's late night drinking episodes.

Without the community, AH is just another game.  O club = community.

The O'Club had ceased to be a "community" a long time ago.  I long since stopped reading or posting in it because I didn't need the dogpile of venom directed at me that I was getting.

If people could have manged to be reasonable it would have been one thing, but too many choose to be frothing barbarians when the cloak of anonymity granted by the internet descends over them.

I enjoyed the O'Club when I first came here, but things turned a bit sour for me after Nov., 2000 and then tanked rapidly after Sept. 11, 2001.  The stress of those events seemed, to me, to be taken as permission to take the gloves off of civility.

What I am saying is harsh, but it is what I saw.  A bunch of grown men who wanted to act like hormone driven teenages in the locker room.  To me it cast a shadow on the game due to what the "community" resource had become.

I cant remember the last time i was flying online (maybe 1-2 hours in the last 3 months) but I do check the O club daily. Its the link that keeps me coming back, its humor, its fun, its not PC, its the daily dweeb soap with bizarre stereotype characters (some of you guys are really good!) and it will be a big loss if you keep it closed.

Perfectly understandable why, but.. no O club anymore? ouch..
