GREAT!! :aok
what is AGW OT ?
-
theres getting to be too many off topics.
It was fun when no one was policing the place, until somebody finally brought it to the point where people were starting to hook up to hunt some guy down. Now its just like any other OT ;)

Don't worry, Rip. Datter was saying that they're been having some problems with the board recently, so it may not be anything intentional., I'd keep trying.

"read only mode"

"www.goagw.com looks like a good replacement"
That Datter pre-banned MG but he let Cabby in says it all.
Or as Airhead said it best (I'm still chuckling over this one),"Datter doesn't want a bulletin board where there's free debate; he wants a park bench like board where everyone agrees with each other while they feed the pigeons. ............"

Bullcrap westy. Cabby hasn't ever come close to typing the drivel that mg posts. MG has one purpose there to piss people off. Cabby has many hats over there and is an active part of the community. mg is just a freakin psychopath. Datter's place is much much better without mg than AGW is with it.
-
Well, cabby isn't welcome here on the AH boards either.
My point? I'm no fan of Cabby or MG at all. Both are unsavory rabid idiots.
IMO however Datter trashed any attempt at providing a neutral, meeting ground - if that was what he had aimed for- by permitting Cabby to post literally the same type of political spewage that MG would be if he were there.
"Datter's place is much much better without mg than AGW is with it."
IMO it would be far better without either. Then again Udie is very much like Cabby (re: similar, but not as bad with the political postings) and his opinion that Cabby is fine is not surprising.

well good then I guess I'll get lucky and while I'm not reading mg's crap I won't have to read yours either! :D
HEY! I'm only half joking! :D er.. I mean half serious!

go to datters and see how much agreeing is going on ;) That place started out with a bang! Not every site on the internet is the startup of some Orwellian society Airhead ;)
-
I've met Udie in person, and while he and I are on opposite extremes of the political spectrum, we get along famously. He's a good guy, even if his political views are misguided. :)
-
dang commie! :D Who's the best flight leader in town! :D
you going to make it to the con this year baxy?
-
Yes, I think I will make the journey again. I may fly this time, though. 15 hours in the car gets to be a little much.
Heh, I still think about that scenario in WB where we flew P-38's together. That was the most nail-biting experience I've ever had in a flight sim.
-
Udie, it's a right wing circle jerk with Datter as the pivot man. MG was just the first, but watch- anyone who "offends" the sensibilities of this group will get voted off.
-
umm whats funny is that cabby doesnt want MG banned. Take a look westy.
Plus cabby is an ok guy, stands up for what he believes in and doesnt back down. Compare that to mg.

hehe Dude I've watched Datter moderate his UBB's for about 4 or 5 years now. Goagw isn't the first site he's run. In that time I've seen him ban one other person. That was about 3 years ago, this guy named "Blair" from ww2ol. He was just about as bad as mg. Hmm I think Datter was pretty clear on the rules when he started the board up. Dude you need to take a break or something from the net. Not every UBB is the hill to fight your battle for free speach on! Sometimes you're the one that comes off looking tardish.

That is still one of my all time favorite senarios. I had no idea how stressful/rewarding being a flight leader could be! Remember Zappa? That dude had me on long distance for like 2 hours almost every frame! $$$$ I'd get a bad crick in my neck after those missions holding the phone with my shoulder while fighting :D
Cool about the con! I'm not sure yet because I'm unemployed and the job I thought I had fell through yesterday! :eek: So I'm about to go in to scared and freaked out mode again. Hopefully I'll have it all straight by the con though. Would be nice to see ya again and buy you a beer at the 5pm happy hour :D
-
I think goagw is a better place without mg, and I think the world would be the same without mg, but I am a little mean that way.
mg provided nothing positive or meaningful to agw, so why would anyone want him around? it's not like you can have a decent discussion or arguement with him. he is just a raving acchole

I agree Dago. MG added nothing of value to AGW OT but then again IMO neither did Cabby. All of which is a moot point I imagine as I won't be signing up there nor reading anymore. I just couldn't pass up commenting on what I see as blatant hypocrisy.
Switching to related subject matter for a moment...
IMO both AH and WB's (@ AGW) would be FAR better off without OT forums. Community spawned boards, such as Check-six, provide a far better venue for the players to talk about guns,war,politics and pr0n. And it benefits the company behind the product as much, if not more, by removing a noticable source of negative interaction which can get associated with the game.
-
There's something we agree about Westy. I can't believe that this OT is still here and I can't believe the AGW was just now shut down. I know I've been guilty of saying some pretty venomous stuff but there have been others who have said worse and been more consistantly worse. Can't be an image a company would want associated with thier product.

Tried to register, still can'y post.
Did they inherit "ban-lists" from iEN? I still can't even read bulletin boards hosted on warbirdsiii.com
I found out that I missed many things since our team was "damned" by "Jay and Silent Dan"...

Who died and made YOU moderator?? Oh, wait, i forgot. You are a hand-wringing Liberal and thus you are a born "moderator", with a license to meddle in everyone elses business - except your own...

Speaking of the stool!
AFAIR you had more than one run in with more than one HTC employee here and was asked to leave, if not booted.

^You are wrong....

I will have to say, of all the diverse personalties I have met online since 1994, that Westy is probably the biggest tool of all. That is not to say that I would not like him(you) in person, but the ambiance of his(your) postings leads me to that conclusion, on the face of it.
Don't take it personally, Westy, I don't know you well enough for that to happen.

Well dont forget to pack at least one pair of jeans. Remember where you wanted to go last con in this area that we couldnt go because of dress codes. :p

Actually Wes, Datter put the whole issue to a vote.
Last count was 102 votes:
78 votes (76%) for booting MG.
24 votes (23%) for not.
You might want to check your facts before you stuff your size 12 in your pie hole.

Could be a tie between him and ripsnort. It gets tiring readin some of their mindless "look at me" crapola. Both are like a couple of public school kids hollerin "neener neener" and runnin behind a teacher for protection. Its obvious that their secret desire is to become moderators. I hope they stay hidin behind skuzzy here and not head for goagw or checksix.
Cabby on his worse day is more honest about who he is then either of them.

heh. Looks we had a drive by from the "You're either with us or you're MG" gang last night.
Well. Coming from you Lizking that's just precious. Talk about boundless hypocrisy.
"Luciferr666." lol. Yeah. There you go folks. A pristine example of someone being "real" and not hiding behind some silly assed online handle on the intardnet.
Dogger. A real, bonafide vote!??!! Regardless of it being after the fact that must have made you feel, well, all democratic like and stuff.
