Tayl Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 This whole forum is getting repetitive. Given enough time, the 'big posters' find their way into all the big threads and turn it around into an insult match. If I didn't know any better, I would swear they were working together to hijack everything and make it into a flamefest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Teatime Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Actually Tayl is correct, there is a plan. From what I've read on the DAC and RPGCodex forums, certain people are competing with each other to have the highest post count in the forum, as well as seeing how long they can flame and insult before they get banned. It's not too hard to work out who, if you just think to yourself, 'which people would do things like this', then you'll work out, well, who is doing it.

I'm mostly spamming, they seem to take pride in there post-count on other forums so fight fire with more fire or something. Cheers. edit: I'm pretty pwning those boards. 100 posts in under a day, number 1 poster. Pity there's not much conversation, but it's allowing me to HOME MY TALENTS as a ****. Seems to be trickling into other forums where I've calmed down though so watch out or I'll rip your nipples off." http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic...er=asc&start=20 "I'll lose intrest probably within a week, so long as I try and out-post rex I should stay near the top. I think he's trying to get the top spot too, so fun is had by all. Or just me and him." Can't find any in RPGCodex at the moment, I remember reading a thread with a lot of people saying how they were going to mention SLAM DUNK a lot and stuff to see if they got banned.

Exitium Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I've looked at both of the Obsidian-related threads at the Codex and found nothing to substantiate your claim. See for yourself: http://www.rpgcodex.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3550 http://www.rpgcodex.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3551 I would advise against making baseless accusations. edit: As for the posts I'm making - I have absolutely no intention of retaining 'top spot' nor had I any intention to attain such a position in the first place.

Volourn Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Ex, you don't have to defend your posts count. It's just a number.

Exitium Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Just as well, it should be pointed out that Megatron seems to be the only perpetrator of this so-called 'post count' race so I hardly think it's reasonable to accuse everyone else on those forums of participating in this 'event'. Nobody else is doing it, so there's absolutely no evidence of competition whatsoever. The certain 'people' you refer to would be more correctly address as 'Megatron' who is [ONE] person, and not any certain, unspecified number of people.

Mr. Teatime Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 True, it was just Megatron, and I withdraw the accusation. I found the other thread I was thinking about, it was the first page of the DAC one but it was done before the forums were opened and I read it in the wrong way. All I have to deal with at the moment is POOPERSCOOPER trying to send me his favourite images (and failing most of the time), and Llamagod trying to start another insult throwing contest. You can try, if you like, but I'm sure you'll get bored eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fionavar Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I think this is a great idea and perhaps Obsidian might consider this as an option.
