Update Me

[Commander-K25]

If anyone remember's me (Slizor, you out there?), I used to be a regular on here; I left, and am now back. Could someone fill me in on the Politics Crew, League of the Militant Godless, etc.

Also, this forum's better than when I left it. It's no longer left of Marx or long, vengeful posts. Hmm, on that note, I'll see if I can find my old Abortion thread or the Palestine/Israel one.

[Ted-Easton]

Leave, while you can!
This forum is controlled by vicious, ravenous useres who flame idiots from the general forums to a burnt crisp. They feed on suffering and cause it whenever possible.
They're a power-hungry, mangy lot, and want nothing more than to send you running in tears.
I'm glad to call myself one of them, and welcome to the forums.

The politics crew is merely the regulars of this board. We affix the ying yang (see my sig) to your sigs, and it's a "seal of approval" for the user, showing they're not a complete idiot, and they can type a whole sentence without using "STFU".

The league is for those who wish to combat the use of references to deities in debates for evidence, as they are all opinions.

I myself am a regular, as are many others that you'll meet, from Evanatuo to Nemesiz, swayside to Slizor, among others.

Since you seem like an intelligent person, we'll skip the usual hazing and flaming that goes on to keep out the idiots. We consider it our "trial by fire".
Welcome aboard.

I had a feeling that Commander had been a regular at one time, because his first posts actually had very valid and well thought out opinions. I think he'd make a good addition to either of the groups. Keep in mind, once you have the Politics Crew badge, you're held to a higher standard.

And what, Ted, old friend, is wrong with flaming idiots to a crisp? It's one of the most rewarding things on these forums.

[JMHX]

Oh, and you're very welcome to use the Regulars Lounge Thread if the mood hits you.

Teddy, I think I feel closer to you now then I have ever before.
*Wipes away a single tear*

I just wanted to say that I appreciate you and all of the other regulars here for your efforts at culling the stupid from the ranks of the Politics Forum. Somebody has to, and I'm glad to be helping in such a task.

We should resurect the Evolution Vs. Communism thread Commander. I had a great time demolishing socialist and communist idealogy on that one.

[Ted-Easton]

*sniff* :')

[JMHX]

Evolution v. Communism was locked and I didn't even get a chance to make a smartass post in it.

*weeps*

That one was fun!

Now where are Biseor and GameboyCC?

[Slizor]

GameBoyCC showed up a while ago, I'm not sure if he'll stay. Biseor left for ever I think. AnarchyPenguin is off on the general forum. P-Chan is occasionally here. Urm...Freakapotimus is a mod, as you may have noticed.... swayside and imploddinggoat appeared again a month or so ago.

Quite depressingly I think I've been around here like everyday for 2 and a half years. Or it could be three, when was Bush elected? Bush Vs Gore...that's the first topic I remember. Is there anyone else?

[Ted-Easton]

Nope. All us second generration people rrrrule the forrrums, now.

Damn rrrrrrrrr key. Why does it keep on sticking? I neverrrrrrrrr spilled anything. Let's see what I can do to corrrect this.....

[Slizor]

Nope. All us second generration people rrrrule the forrrums, now.

Well actually I would probably say I was second generation, or very late first. Freakapotimus, Shrapnel, shorbe and P-Chan would probably be first generation. I would say that most people here are fourth generation (Commander is 3rd or 2nd), after the second fall of the Politics BBS (there was one time when all the posts from 2 weeks ago fitted on about half a page, the second fall I consider to be when there was a great influx of General bbsers.)

Slizor, historian of the NG Politics BBS. Coming soon - The Second Fall of the BBS and the New Age of Mods.
Damn, I need a life.

[Ted-Easton]

lol- good, we need a historian.
Create us an org chart/family tree to show where we all lay! THat'd be great.
Or at least tell me what generation I am.

[Slizor]

It would probably be easier to give definitions of generations. First Generation = Old BBS (I was on about 100 posts when the new BBS was created, so I would say I'm really early seond generation.)
Second Generation = The start of the New BBS (AnarchyPenguin, Anarchon, fuck-fu and pyroarchy)
Third Generation = I would say around the time of 911 (there was a big intake of people like LazerBeamBandit, Skewthat and Biseor)
Fourth Generation = Quite recent, last few months (again a big intake, I think to do with the war on Iraq. Dr_Arbitrary, Ted_Easton, Evanauto.)

There is alot of continuation between them and it is the time of becoming a regular here. Again, this is only my view. I would also say that we are now in the start of the fifth generation, post-mod (the generations are really based upon significant events (on the BBS or in the real world) and a increase in the number of people.)

Plus Perdix. I believe he was posting in Politics shortly before me. I miss him. *sigh*

[JMHX]

Well, I guess I would be late 3rd to early 4th. Jesus, and I thought I had some length going here. A new generation is going to be born when we take on Korea, though. Wait until you come in here one day to see a whole bunch of "Korea Suxors"

[cableshaft]

I've never been a regular poster, but for the longest time I was an avid reader of the forum. I miss both Perdix and Shorbe....*pouts*.

[Ted-Easton]

I'm in the same boat, Judge. I thought I had a bit of length, but it's little compared to some. I've been here since about Oct. 08/02, officially.

[Ted-Easton]

I mean to NG on this account. I can't remember when I started posting in here. Not important, though.

[Jimsween]

Your first post was 11/24/02 06:13 PM but you really started posting on 1/2/03 11:01 AM.

[Ted-Easton]

Thank you.

Wow, you really need a hobby besides this.

[NEMESiSZ]

As Imperator of the politics forum, I hereby denounce all of the people mentioned in that.

[Ted-Easton]

*Is denounced*
Ooh. That one stung.

[Jimsween]

Your right, this place sucks you in like a black hole mercelessly pulling you into the nothingness that lies within it, kinda like a Dirt Devil.

Which is why I often have 10 responses to threads all lined up. It's sad.

[Jimsween]

*Cries* I'm not crying because of my laq of a life I'm crying because I finally made it to 100 posts. I'd like to thank Jesus for giving me the strength to do this, and the people at Kensington for making the wrist cusions for the keyboard, without which my wrists would be bloody and raw.

[NEMESiSZ]

I wish we could undo your posts.

[Jimsween]

Yeah, well you cant.
