[Pooh21]

no idea


but I was born in late 1978 you are all geezers

[Krusher]

Well there is always bigweek, one of the original hangouts of dweebs like us.


I wonder if Tilt would kill me if I posted the link to bigweek LOL.

Since I don't have broadband at home I can no longer play online games so all I have is the interaction with you yahoos in the OT.

If it stays gone then I will have no choice but to go away and be a pathetic loser somewhere else.

[Creamo]

Just go to the Checksix forums Mighty.  It's basically the O'Club, and will be moreso if everyone joins. Not a big deal unless the bandwidth gets mauled.

Well

For what its worth I think it a shame. If I had a role in it  I apologise , though if I'm honest I can't realy see that some of the very tounge in cheek stuff I posted and some of the slightly controversial stuff was in any way any worse than what others posted. I read some real off the wall and at times pretty harsh stuff in there but it was always entertaining and sometimes interesting . I guess that I got barred more for being an " annoying Englishman" than anything else. Can't help that its what I am I guess  Anyhow sorry bout that. I guess I might have to take my annoying English pounds to another game if it keeps happening!

Oh well Pity it had to go but all good things must come to an end.
I will miss the endless Gun threads, debating exactly what makes a Biker and just why Bush is an Idiot and England is such a great place! All good fun, and hopefully  taken with plenty of salt. I'll miss you interesting folks too. Pity but there ya go.


Now where's my winnebago!?

Didn't someone once have a theory that there was a direct correlation between the O'Club getting crappy and the length of time between AH version releases?

He might be telling the truth. They've made mistakes with user accounts before. A few years ago, I got banned. Found that I couldn't post anything, but the entire BBS was open to me. Hidden forums, squad forums, all of it.

[Hap]

do away with it.

[indy007]

Well this sucks. There's only 2 places I really bothered to keep up on current events with, news.google & the o'club. I'd enjoyed getting different perspectives on well... any topic from a mixed bag of foaming at the mouth good ol' boys, arrogant socialists, various sociopaths, gun nuts, anti-gun nuts, anti-kitchen knife nuts, and f-16 flying cia agents. No anchorman reading a teleprompter can hold a candle to that. You can't buy that kind of entertainment.

That, and any question I ever asked had an answer. There's no way I would be playing with a gps enabled oopic if it weren't for this forum.

Oh well, nothing lasts forever.

[Black Sheep]

I'll just post all the stupid off topic stuff in the GD area then.

[Thrax]

And the wheel turns full circle.

Any old farts might remember AGW -- well, it's still on the go (at least the Off Topic section is).

If the O Club IS to remain dead, then might I sugest http://agw.bombs-away.net as an alternative?

The O'club is closed pending further review.  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.  We'll make a decision regarding the future of that forum soon.  In the meantime, do not bring O'club traffic to this or other forums.

If you have any reasonable and civil suggestions, please feel free to express them in this thread.

Guys c'mon, He's trying to get our help in salvaging the OC, but what I've seen mostly in this thread are flames. So far, the best suggestion I've seen is the one about archiving the old OC material so we don't lose everything.

In my opinion, this community is like a party: when a "guest" gets too far out of line a good host steps in and addresses the situation with whatever action is appropriate. That action should be made known to the party-goers ahead of time, such as it is in here. So, simply-put: HT, enforce the rules and the whiners be-damned. This is your house, after all. To those who find this too irksome, I say stay out of the BBS if it bothers you that much. But if you do come in, act nice (sort of).

Having said all that, however, I can see where it's an impossible task for one person to monitor this board, or even one forum, when it gets inundated with inappropriate material as it apparently did yesterday evening.

I didn't say the O'club was being shut down permanently, I said it was shut down while we decide what to do about it.  I opened up this topic soliciting for suggestions to make it work and ironically, the strongest arguments for just keeping it closed are being presented by those who think they're making the opposite point.  On the positive side, community moderation has been suggested and we're open to that idea, but I think that's only a piece of it.
