I miss Adrian, Louis and Tribesman

[Kralizec]

Louis was right. That is, it was about a rather obvious joke that some other people IMO overreacted about and insisted was offensive anyway. However like I told him I don't thinkt the whole "discussion" was worth all the drama and certainly not worth leaving.

Did Adrian really leave, actually? It's my impression that he has dissappeared and reappeared several times over the last few years.

I don't recall whatever incident caused Tribesman to leave, but Beskar's explanation sounds perfectly believable. I'd love to see him again at the .org because watching him in some discussions was amusing, but at the same time I realize that he was a rather stubborn guy, not always friendly or respectful, and I can see why not everyone would miss him.

Yeah, that's accurate. Like the gentle stroking of a desert zephyr, he wafts into our lives when the moon shines bright, caressing our skin with his vaporous tendrils, then vanishing with the morning dew, much like an interrupted erotic dream.

Here's sig-worthy material if there ever was such a thing.

I overreacted in Louis-gate. I still find the way Louis said the f-word (the homosexual slur, not the main f-word) distasteful, but I shouldn't have gotten angry over it.

In my defense, I was dealing with real homophobes where I was living at the time and I was getting fed up with that word and the bigotry (the day Louis-gate happened I literally just had a conversation with someone complaining about how all these "f****** keep coming onto me, I want nothing to do with their disgusting lifestyle"). If Louis came back I would apologize to him for being an over-zealous ass.

In my opinion, it was absolutely shameful for that troll to drag Louis into his watchtower thread, a thread which had absolutely nothing to do with him. It was also creepy the way he had saved things mods had posted from months (years) back to use against them, as if he had been meticulously organizing his case against an internet gaming forum for some time. It was equally shameful that people bought into the manufactured drama.

In any event, Louis is apparently gone for good. Is Drunk Clown still around, or did he do his damage and move on?

Drunk clown? I think there's a piece of this story I have yet to be told.

I will describe Drunk Clown to you in an nutshell.

So picture me, who has a history of complaints with how moderators do their job sometimes (I am more mellow about such stuff recently).

Drunk Clown is who I would call a "try-hard" version of me and would copy pasta entire threads, save the text and bring it up months later to make a point against the moderators and would not relent.

A lot of the old face have moved on. Very few of the people I knew when I joined are still active posters. I wouldn't even describe myself as particularly active these days.Such is the way of things.

In regards to what he had done to the mods, I have had that happen to me and a few others before. It's not really pleasant.

I've been lurking here for years, probably back in 2006 was my first visit. I think I made an account here once before, but I can't remember it. Anyway, people come and go in forums. They're here for a year and gone the next and don't come back. Or some just slowly fade away.

[Fragony]

Tribes departure is all on me, what started as as a (imho) joke turned out foul. AdrianII still hangs around in the pub 'van Zanten' 200 meters from maison Frag but I have absolutely no idea who he is and I like that. No idea what happened to Luigi, I want him back

[Gregoshi]

Yeah, that's accurate. Like the gentle stroking of a desert zephyr, he wafts into our lives when the moon shines bright, caressing our skin with his vaporous tendrils, then vanishing with the morning dew, much like an interrupted erotic dream.

Is it me or is it getting hot in here...
