You don't have an intro thread, and judging by this remark I wonder if you've been here before?
Regardless of the situation, you NEED to make an intro.
Even if you have been here since June, you have only 4 posts, and no intro.
Odd.

[Godslayer Jillian]

Yeah... Pyre, there's a reason for that.

[Cheddar Biscuit]

I put plenty of time and effort into my first intro. I just like to come back here and see how the forum is developing every couple months.

[Cheddar Biscuit]

Hey Jillian, it's been a while.

[Godslayer Jillian]

Hallo, I'm still torn between four people you might be.

[Cheddar Biscuit]

Probably somebody you wouldn't expect. I was only here a short time.

[Cheddar Biscuit]

Any guesses?

[Godslayer Jillian]

I might, but I don't like to guess wrong.

[Cheddar Biscuit]

Lets see. I was here during the Gnet life of Sanctus, horrorgirl, wolfmoon, EPS... others I can't quite recall, and I witnessed all of them leaving. Oh, and you once called me a non-conformist.

I can just imagine all those people getting the codes at the same time. There'd be scores of posts everywhere saying "Hy im newb lolxorz GOTH OUT!!11eleven!" and the potential cool ones might say "This is it? Leet speaking Linkin' Park lovers?"
Wow, it creeps me out.

Now that's some bullshit. Not even giving some actual people a chance to get a clue - just delete the new ones who may appear like leet trash before you delve?

I can see skimming for bot shite, but give the kids a chance like you were given, regardless of how you initially came on.

[Godslayer Jillian]

I never said "delete them"
I only said not to give everyone their activation codes at the same time or the site might flood.
I know you're focused into accusing me of a chauvinistic goth pig, but that doesn't make it true.

And Cheddar Biscuit, you just gave me a project.

Re-read your post for other interpretations, how it might *also* be read. You admit readily that you are an elitist, but shy away when actually called out on it, take the less offensive intepretation. That happens a lot around here... I am not focused on anything with you. I don't know you. All I have to go on are your words here. There is nothing for me to alter or make into a reality that is not already there on your own words.

But fuck all that- from reading this thread completely, it would seem silly to ask anything of anyone who might be in charge, no? If they believe some group or the other is causing the random bot invasion, then why do they not screen to begin with?

Dont' take me wrong, open enlistment forums are... ok. But the better forums do tend to have a screening process and a "board" for member determination.

I do openly admit I'm an elitist. Yet, if you knew me half as much as any other in the forums, you would know the areas and the extent of my elitism. I have judged new guys; I have never denied them.

[MollyMac]

by what right do you judge others?

[Godslayer Jillian]

By the right I give myself which people tolerate and even agree with.

[maggot]

Biscuit, are you Andrew?

[Cheddar Biscuit]

Nope, guess again.

What people tolerate and agree with this alleged right?

There are no rights, only privileges. You can assert a right for yourself, in your mind, but it means nothing in the real world where even saints and greatest sinners do not rate because no one honestly cares.

[Godslayer Jillian]

It's funny that you are arguing the point I was trying to prove.
You say by what right am I who I am? I say only by the right I give to myself. No other right exists anywhere.

[MollyMac]

so, a self appointed right to judge others because you have nothing else appointed or earned. charming. have a pleasant day.

[Godslayer Jillian]

Furthermore, you made the common attack in the internet of saying that "in the real world no one cares"
First of all, that doesn't offend me at all.
Second, that assertion is more judgmental than what you are accusing me for. You don't know me in real life; ergo, you cannot say what is and what's not in real life when it comes to me.
Just a tip about me: I am the same person in here and outside. I am just as elitist in real life as I am here. I am just as intelligent in real life as I am in here. I am just as friendly in real life as I am here. And the rights my friends give me here are extremely similar to those my friends accept and expect from me in real life.

How is that based in fact? Personal attacks are always awful; they have no bases. They're a futile attempt to offend.
Tell me first of all, where was I judgmental (I know there are places to show this, and I'm not denying it) and why was I wrong in those cases?
I like proof, so give it to me.

[HumanePain]

Uh...excuse me, but would you two please take this conversation to the Arena
or somewhere else? Just to keep posting in this thread related to Gnet upgrades/breakdowns etc. Your back and forth is interesting but it is filling up the communication link to the site admins.

Thanks.

[Pyre]

I had a feeling Cheddar was an oldbie here who is on a different (and rarely used) account, but I still want to see an intro.
Oldbies can post intros, too.
