Puffy... SuperParrot... London... All classics.

The ones we have today pale by comparison. Not even nostalgia talking there, these guys were something else.

And good to know you were cool about it States

Who was the guy with all the doom posts/flame threads during issue 3 being tested? He kept asking the devs to let us make game mods and such. Then he changed his name. Then he disappeared.

Anyone remember Arkaine from the old boards or from Beta? Or PumpinIron? THEY flipped out in style.

Vegetor was also pretty popular with me.

The irony of you attacking people for being unoriginal by using the trite "crotchsniffing fanboy" insult is not lost on me.

[/ QUOTE ]

First, I never attacked anyone, I'm making a suggestion.
2nd, Trite... maybe to you. People paint themselves a certain way and I tell you what I see.

If you find this offensive, I can't help you there.

Backagain definitely sounds familiar... I only vaguely remember one thread by him, but it was of that sort of thing. I think it kinda got lost amongst the Stoopid-Europeans threads...

Friggin_Taser · 05-26-2005 03:44 PM

scaryjapan, I'm just pointing out that we can do this "DOOOOOOM" "FAAAAAANBOI" parrot spiel all day. Neither camp is original in the least. In fact, the "everyone who does or says something I don't like is automatically a fan boy at the crotch of the devs" thing has been around a hell of a lot long and is a hell of a lot less original.

So therein doth thy irony lie.

My memory is a little shaky: who did the "Capes not available until level 20 will be the end of this game" rant in style?

Whoa... if someone was inane (or maybe insane) enough to warrent being remembered by States himself... damn, who was this Puffy legend, and what crazy things did he post to be universally remembered with such "fondness"?

Backagain became Revolution_Pr0. Always interesting to see the passive aggresive attacks on... well pretty much everything.

scaryjapan, if you can't see how calling people crotch-sniffing fanboys is anything but an insult, you reeeeally need to take a break from the boards.

_Pax_ · 05-26-2005 03:48 PM

My favorite was by MacAllen (who got banned and became MacDaddy) about how all Scrapper sets should be more like Martial Arts (the old MA mind you) and if the Devs didn't do it then CoH was dooomed because a whole AT was useless.

Hehe... I remember his rant on Spines and how useless they were.

Geez, States.

You make it sound like all I needs to do to show up on your radar is start going all Darkity-Doom-Dark on it.

DrThirteen · 05-26-2005 03:50 PM

Who was the guy with his own MMO* who never failed to mention it in ever DOOM post he ever made because his own game was better than CoH in every particular?

I loved that guy.

Wasn't that the male Dallus? There's a male and a female one. The female is the one we usually see posting here on the boards in leet speak. The male one is usually seen talking about how his MMO is better than CoH.

Any "fanboy" you have insulted could say the same. Yet you seem all too happy to attack them... ironic, no?

Sorry, dear, but lump.

No one would begrudge you your opinion. I don't think anyone here would deny you that.

By the same token, no one would begrudge you a right to post that opinion on a public forum.

It's more that if one were to take a look at your post history, it's more that you have a habit of couching those opinions as fact; you tend to presumptively speak on behalf of a lot of other folks; exaggerate issues in the game into enormous game-breaking problems; threaten to depart the game if your opinions aren't upheld; or blame others for your own perceived deficiencies in-game.

No offense, but all hallmarks of the kind of DOOOM!sayer that we take such delight in poking at in threads like this.

Seriously, if the game makes you this unhappy? Leave. No regrets. I'll even show you the door.

Nowaki · 05-26-2005 04:05 PM

I remember quite a few of those doomsayers. Roland, Puffyshirt, SuperParrot/EspressoBob.

I also remember the prebeta boards where some forum members declared CoH to be vaporware. It didn't exist and never would. That the Marvel Superhero MMO would be out first and it would be infinitely better.

How many of you pre-beta folks remember Qlop (or any of his many aliases), or Avenger/Great Gazoo/Handyman?

And if you remember waaay back in the beginning, the forum member that snagged the handle "batman" who was the relentless crusader for CoH to be a free game.
