Hey, congrats SFTS! 10 years here as well. Doesn't seem like it's been that long.

[Sarmatian]

And yes.We all miss Louis..

Especially at night

Maybe if we all stalk him like a ditched girlfriend with no self respect and beg him to come back... ?

[Papewaio]

Congrats Strike. Your opinions and perspectives have only become more nuanced and thought out over time.

Of course brevity, to a point, becomes indistinguishable from lack of wit.

From my perspective, Louis was more or less a victim of Banquos Ghost (BQ henceforth).

BQ handled the backroom in a VERY self centered way, throwing out warnings left and right if something didn't suit him, and letting things pass that suited him.

Louis was a free thinker and always challenging his surroundings, and we loved him for it. Heck, I loved him for it, eventhough we often argued.

It came to a point where the Backroom more or less rebelled against BQ, unfortunately, Louis posts became the battleground.

It was just SO DAMN OBVIOUS that the mod played with hidden cards, unfortunately louis posts were used to highlight it, and the forum at large had to step in to quench it...

And that's why it turned to **** and we lost one of our best posters.

I miss Louis a lot, even to this day. He was just collateral damage in the war against BQ.

For me as a person I much prefer the forum post BQ though... I think BQ gave me as many warnings a month as I have gotten since BQ got pushed away... Some several years ago. The Backroom modertaion is actually the last years the best moderation I have seen on any internet forum I have ever been to.. So cheers for that!!

But yeah... A Backroom with todays mods AND Louis would of course have been the best. And honestly speaking, it WAS rather pettty of him to just quit... I would cry for him, but real men don't.




EDIT: Those who have only been here for 10 years are still newcomers in my eyes :p


EDIT2: sorry for grammar and spelling, I am out on the countryside with a laptop from the time when vampires didn't glitter in the sun

You are giving away the game my friend.
