People are crazy sometimes...

Post by Gunsmith » Sun Feb 08, 2009 18:58

During the years we've had various issues with membership, mostly with bots. We do get new members but they usually prefer to lurk.

We were fending them off lately quite well even though the captcha has been defeated.

Until a few days ago where ON seems to have become popular with some search engine and now I'm suddenly getting 20 bot made registrations a day

I finally got fed up and disabled new accounts.

Almost immediately I have been sent requests by email by real people who want accounts! And one has already admitted that he is probably not even going to post!

Heh, I think an ON account just became one of those things that ppl want to have but never use :D Still, I think we should be proud!

What's the point of being proud of newcomers when they're afraid/not interested to post?

You gotta think up of some incentive to let them post or say something, at least. Or maybe they won't probably care to post, who knows.

Can you blame them? I lurk around mmcafe and most of the members shudder when ON is mentioned. They react to us like we're a bad outbreak of genital herpes.

We're internet riff-raff. angel3

Really? I lurk/occassionally post at MM as well and I can't say I've ever heard mention of ON. Who exactly is anti-ON over there??

I think Gojira mentioned us and Time mage said something about us being ew, and someone else said something along the same lines. It needs to be taken into context since we don't come up that often.

ew? EW? Was that from a srk fan by any chance?

Riff raff my ass, we've always been the elite. Ppl don't get to troll or hate here, which is why it's quiet- it's full of (mostly) normal ppl talking, not shouting, about kof etc. We don't support racism, sexism, homophobia etc which is why it can be a bit boring haha. Maybe I should lift those rules.... Hell no.

Hey... maybe somebody stumbled across an orgy and freaked out.

I slowly got integrated into the orgies after looking with a closed mind.

Now I'm free, baby.

Now why would I talk about ON when I'm not here? Whenever I wander away from these purpled walls this place stops existing. How can I talk about something that doesn't exist?

And it's not herpes, it's more like chicken pox. People want to get in early so they don't have to deal with it later.

But yeah if new memberships are off it's like we're turning into some cult. The Church of Wyler?

If I had an ON badge I'd wear it proud ... like all the other forums I go to!

Though I have to say I tend to lurk when I'm at new forums cause I just want to see what kind of people they are and what they like to talk about ... and only when I'm really bored will I post there and go unnoticed :o I can somewhat understand where the new members are coming from. It's like high school you know, just new and don't want to make a scene (yeah I say high school not prison where you'd want to deck the biggest mofo around hahahaha) ... and not like they know wtf we're talking about 70% of the time hohoho

You should just make the forums private since that's how it's always been these years. I mean seriously, other than us, what do FUCKIN lurkers actually find interesting on these forums? The only reason we're all still here is because we all know each other well already.

Making it private might also make a certain someone stop advertising his FUCKIN shit which no one gives a FUCK about.

Making it private would also show them haters that we don't give a FUCK and want them to FUCK off instead of look like we try to not give a FUCK but still care.

And I'm actually FUCKIN happy that you made a blog section because that's the only section that is actually fun to FUCKIN talk in.

No offense but I really think that this place is a place for old friends to hang out than an actual KOF forum. Branding the KOF name onto the forums feels kind of like an insult to the FUCKIN franchise since 80% of the forum is about something else, like sleeping at gay bars or talking about anime girls.

I vote for cult. FUCK new members cuz we never gotten any anyway.
