Is that what happend to Mac? He was everywhere in the prebeta days, but I can honestly say I don't remember a single post from him from beta on....
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm fairly certain that Mac moved on to other games. He's a mmo junkie. Even when he was moderating the CoH pre beta boards, he was actively participating in half a dozen other mmo boards as well.
I'd guess he's probably moved on through 3-4 other mmos since.

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.
[/ QUOTE ]
This whole post reminds me of zzMDude... I remember him saying that he didn't post any of his character, their sets, their stats, anything like that. Why? "Because I know how forum posters work."
That was classic. So speaking of which... Where is he?

While we're on the subject of "Where are they now?" type questions, anyone know what happened to Spongecake and/or Icarus_Factor?

Gawds' sake.
This is probably one of the cleanest, gosh-durn nicest forums I've ever come across.
Pre-emptive defensiveness? Understandable, but given his history that's just trollish.

Anyone remember Arkaine from the old boards or from Beta? Or PumpinIron? THEY flipped out in style.
Vegetor was also pretty popular with me.
[/ QUOTE ]
OMG. Those guys were great. Ah, nothing like reading about how City of Heroes was dooooommmeeedd right after launch. Those were the days.
[/ QUOTE ]
OMG I forgot about Arkaine ... he was the best ... man and he was soooooo right

I think he did....on a side note, does anying Sponge remind anyone else of Spongebob Squarepans? (He is taking over)
Sponge just left with no notice whatsoever. Who knows what happened.

Anyone remember Oni from Beta and the infamous "Sprint got nerfed!" thread. Oy. THAT was some first class "DOOOoooooMMMM!!!!!"-saying.
Edit: Oh! Or his "Scrappers don't have Ranged Attacks? This game SUX!" posts. Man, I argued with him FAR too much over that one.

Actually, he wasn't bad at all. Cynical, but no doomsayer. As I remember him putting it, the reason he was outspoken, was because 1. He loved the game and wants to see it better, and 2. Because he knows the devs listen, and appreciates that.
I think he just doesn't post anymore.
Just want to remind everyone of this great utility that we can all use to come up with our own memorable DOOOOOOOOOM posts:

That just seems kinda sad to me. These are by far the rudest, most flame-filled boards I've been to.

where else do you hang your board hat? cause while my online experience is limited to early AOHell and livejournal, these boards seem pretty tame and normal to me. Compared to some chat rooms and the debate community in LJ-land, the people here are saints.
[ QUOTE ]
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?
[/ QUOTE ]
I believe it was either PuffyShirt or London.
Ahhh, London... How much nicer the boards have been since he and Puffy took off.

My particular favorite is when someone makes a valid point about the downside of a nerf, and some jackass responds with a post that just says "DOOOOOOOOOOM!"
Yes, I surely love those.
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm with you. I believe that if you're on this forum, it's because you have something to say, regardless of whether or not fanboys agree, we have a right to express.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes yes, and what's funny is when anyone disagrees with the "xxxx will kill CoH!", (which is the same broken record heard on every MMO's forums even the most successful, longest standing MMO's) the doomsayers claim that people are trying to deny them their free speech or their right to have an opinion...

Wow.
Just wow.
I prefer to think that this is paradise compared to, oh, say -- the Apocalypse.
Quite frankly, I have no idea where you hang out on the 'net, but this place is more easygoing than the [censored] Trading Spaces boards.

sometimes this forum is like going on a long summer vacation with a big and dysfunctional family in a winnebago with broken air-conditioning.

You're correct. However, those experiences always seem to create the best stories and fondest memories later on in life. I suspect it's the same with this community.
