we even outlived reddit it seems.

lol, reddit. They're such little bitches. Complaining about management. The mods grumbling because they weren't informed that someone would be fired. Guess what? It's not jut a website, it's a fucking business. Grow the fuck up. Not every little corporate decision around there requires a revolt...

Well to be fair, the person fired was the person who made the AMA process legit. Without her, it will be difficult to coordinate the AMAs and ensure that they are done properly.

That being said, the mods are definitely letting it get to their heads, considering they are volunteers.

edit: It is also worth mentioning that reddit mods complained about the removal of the r/shitniggerssay subreddit, FWIW.

It's a poor business decision to abruptly fire an employee who manages a core service without having a transition plan in place. Admin = clueless.

I lost like 5000 posts because of that failed world cup bid. I also lost posts somewhere else.... it was like a donation thread or something.

donate postcount to feed an Ethiopian child today!

Yes - Ogambo is now much better off for the 5000 posts that were donated to him

Shame we don't have the threads before 2005. I can't remember the exact event that caused a temporary migration of the forum to one of raw's servers?

He used to secretly spam in the spam forum and then delete the threads with his posts and up his post count.

There were 2 major forum disruptions that I remember...

When Gamespy decided that they no longer wanted to host UBB forums and opted for PHPBB, and when Gamespy decided to stop hosting us completely.

We Do Youngsters

It's true. If gamespy hadn't dropped us, they'd still be at the top of their game, so to speak...
