I tried to come up with a funny Ahnold reference. But they were all taken. So take this funny .bmp image instead.

Also, if it happens, don't start OT threads in the gaming side.

Me and my girlfriend had a fight about the Sony E3 conference. Help me, OT!!!!

OT may be closed temporarily during the big conferences if necessary, as with every E3. Don't panic if it happens; if it does it'll only be for a short while. Also, if it happens, don't start OT threads in the gaming side.
Thanks for the update, dude.

May your new servers survive this bloodbath.

- Close off GAF to members only.
- Start banning anyone on the gaming side who makes an insubstantial post (less than a sentence)

Profit.

E3 has to be some of the best free PR for getting members, so I'd understand not wanting to shut out lurkers.

...still...if we had to choose between members and lurkers...

I don't see it happening, though.

Not ever closing to guests, guests are the primary viewership of GAF and the whole system is designed so that a small percentage of people post and a large percentage of people view.

I totally forgot that e3 is going on. I think I'm just losing all interest in games. Its strange since I would also go nuts reading about that sort of stuff.

Now let's home Gaming doesn't send some Terminators back in time to prevent OT from popping back up. :D

We fought long and well my brothers.

The machines may have won the battle...but we will...win this war.

Its inevitable, the aging of the generations and the assumed increase in maturity will eventually free the children from their obedience to toys.

I watched the events for a little while. The predictability of the whole thing is so fucking sad.

  • Company A has a press conference; fanboys and trolls ready themselves for war.
  • Company A makes announcement. Thread is made and the new development is praised by the majority of the posters in the thread as the second coming of Jesus Christ.
  • Troll posts flame bait. Mindless back-and-forth ensues for the next 20 pages.
  • Meanwhile, Company A has announced a new product and the cycle overlaps and repeats itself.

I'd like to think this was Gaming GAFs Judgment Day, instead.

And what a poor judgment it was.

don't you use Firefox? didn't you see the red squigglies?

I'm sorry, it's practically a compulsion

I pride myself on writing the best I can whenever I write, regardless of the format or context. (I may sometimes forgo grammar to make fun a thread.)

I'm using Safari, and I just checked "judgment" and "judgement" on TextEdit as well, and both are recognized and accepted.

The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both the American "judgment" and the British "judgement" as acceptable.

  • Gaming Forum has an event; forum fanboys and trolls ready themselves for war.
  • Off topic forum is closing down. Thread is made and the shut-down is shunned by a majority of the posters as the coming of judgement day.
  • Event finishes, subforum returns. Mindless back-to-back whining ensues for the next 20 pages.
  • One year later, gaming forum has same event and the cycle overlaps and repeats itself.

I always find the needless hate of the gaming side kind of funny. In a really dumb kind of way.
