I enjoyed BOM a lot until I did the modding. It became a complete pain in the ass when I did that. However, for me, this site always kicked BOM ass because we can post pictures and swear. Plus Eagle is 50x cooler than the people who run that site. Now that's something I agree with. BOM's board is soooo last decade. It's a relic. I brought that up once, but baumer likes the all text format better. The lack of creative options holds me back from posting there like I would if it had the features of this board. Sean needs to upgrade.

That's what the Poster Awards are for. That's the clique awards, which don't hold much credibility, and I said I DIDN'T needed to be thanked, I just thought it was in poor taste to villianize me for the efforts. Anybody would have felt the same.

Not that much babbling actually. Especially if you considering the HUGE gaps, even if you take out all the "babbling" there's more here. Also some of this "babbling" is actual film discussion, believe it or not.

Dr. Lecter wrote: What about that Antichrist guy? Or was that Fett? I can't be blamed for Antichrist. He was attacking everybody and started drawing blood on baumer, so I got involved and beat him down. Look at who you are mentioning. Gold Master, AntiChrist, Fett, these were not your upstanding nice guys. I got along with most of the people that were nice, and most who weren't. There were the LOTR loonies that I had issues with, and lots of heated battles between Matrix fanboys and Hulk bashers. Me and loyal once got into a very heated argument that led to our animosity in the early days of this forum. The fanboy wars led to my association with BKB, and the formation of the unholy trinity with him and baumer, with lots of arguing, but it wasn't the personal attacks to my character like I endured here, it was all in fun, and didn't affect my popularity or friendships with people, even though many of them were on the opposite side.

Maverikk wrote: Well, where's loyal right now? If he wasn't harboring hard feelings, he would still be here, wouldn't he? And getting thanks isn't really the issue. Getting made out to be a piece of shit asshole for all my efforts by a mob of people was my problem. I didn't need to be thanked, but I could have lived without that nonsense. I'm sure anybody would feel the same way. I can't speak for loyal, but I get the impression that loyal is a do-er. From what he has said, this site wasn't going the direction he wanted, so he did something about it and made his own site and is doing what makes him happy. I'll cut off my left nut if 5 years from now loyal is hanging out here just stirring up problems and laughing at people because he is upset that he wasn't appreciated enough here. Which is my point for you... you've got so many ideas on how to run a site, or how one should be run, but you've done very little about it. Instead your wasting your time here trying to be a troll. That's completely beneath you, IMO. Trolling is easy... 12 year old boys do it. That's why I could never see loyal doing it. I just can't for the life of me figure out why you've taken to it, and why you aren't more pro-active in implementing your plan(s).

 Re: Why Not Just Close Up Shop Here? (now with a poll)
Thanks for those stats Lecter... as I said, it's not even remotely close between the two. In just about every measurable stat, KJ is kicking BOM's tail, and we've seen no data to suggest otherwise.

No, loyal plans on creating a new place and killing this forum with it. I'm sure he'll laugh about it if it happens. Loyal has done exactly the same thing to people at times. I'm sure he'd be the first to admit it. If you haven't noticed, loyal lost his star around here. He used to be king. I know all too well what that feels like, as I was once king at BOM. That creates a desire within to shove it up collective asses. I can't emplain why.

I just can't for the life of me figure out why you've taken to it, and why you aren't more pro-active in implementing your plan(s). Probably because I have two businesses and a new baby. I don't have time to implement more than that!

 Re: Why Not Just Close Up Shop Here? (now with a poll)
Your version of loyal - as a vindictive childish asshole - seems a lot different than what I would guess, and a lot different than what he has said publicly. I hope, and trust that's not true, as I would lose a lot of respect that I have for him.
Obviously I cant change your mind about being a troll here that has a desire to stick things in our asses, but I do hope you change your mind someday. I sincerely mean it when I say you're better than that. I've seen you at your best, and you can be fun to be around when you choose to be.

I sincerely mean it when I say you're better than that. I've seen you at your best, and you can be fun to be around when you choose to be. Now that Sean Salisbury has left BOM, this place has even more trouble. I don't think loyal's being a vindictive childish asshole. It's nothing personal, just business, and all in fun, but I'm sure he's not going to post here anymore, and something must be preventing that, because he obviously still could, despite differences in opinion on the mainsite, yet chose to leave and not return. I'd say that speaks to harsh feelings, regardless of if he wants to publicize it. He, like many others, don't like what these forums have become. Like I said, the poll speaks to that, not just me. And this thread is not trolling. I'd admit it if it was. I think the subject needed to be brought to the table, because quite a few people felt exactly like me. You obviously don't, and that's okay, too.

 Re: Why Not Just Close Up Shop Here? (now with a poll)
Unless I don't understand numbers, the poll seems to be nearly 2:1 in favor against your opinion.
Also, all the numbers between BOM and KJ that we presented show that KJ would have to lose about 50% (or more) of its active posts to just be even with BOM. I really think you posted this thread at the wrong site.
You've yet to post any hard data to back up your theory here, or why this thread is remotely needed and/or anything but trolling (or stirring up shit and laughing at people, as you put it!)

My point is that NINE people doesn't mean that it's just my opinion. Nine is significant! Somebody else can track the activity. Actually, with the news of Sean's departure, I expect BOM to experience a revival, especially if this new guy is up for upgrading the forums for the 21st century.

 Re: Why Not Just Close Up Shop Here? (now with a poll)
Mav, why do you care, though?
I mean, I'm really happy your real life is thriving and you have a baby girl now, but shouldn't the prospective demise or continuation of a film forum like this (which is pretty inconsequential in the grand scheme of things) which you seem to have no vested interest in be fairly irrelevant to your concerns at this point?

In your fevered mind, I know you think you are making a point, but I can't for the life of me come up with a sane one.
On the bright side, maybe you've learned not to come sharing your personal sob stories with a group of people who, as a result of your arrogant attitude and endless lecturing, truly, truly don't care.
