ohoho

There are some people, like me, that do look at who's online!

Yo Jargum, what's up? I don't think I've heard too much from you since ET died out. > :(

And who else, is up there? Owindea? Yo, you should post here more. It's creepy here now. We have threads from 4 days ago on the front page. I remember when we'd have posts from the current day on the second page.

Cool people went into lurk mode and stopped posting, which isn't cool. You people should post more.

I also see 12 unregistered users online. What the crap? Unnamed freaks. Login or register and get a name or something. You guys are wierdin' me out.

This thread inspired by sleepiness and boredom.

To be honest, I really like Evercrest, always have. There are some really cool people that post here, always have been. People get asshole-ish at times, but whatever, that's human nature. It would annoy me to no end if this board ever went down.

Which is why seeing a lack of posts is starting to annoy me. I don't know if it's that no one has anything interesting to talk about, or if no one cares to talk here any more. >:/

Call of Duty: United Offensive is my new ET, only without any EC or AV people.

Pretty much just lurk as usual though.

So, yeah, What's up?

The general personality of these boards doesn't encourage anyone but oldest/most popular posters to post. Anything not of the very highest quality of wit (by this board's standards, not always easy to discern) is met with little beyond acerbic repartee and a crap vote.

I don't recall saying 'twas solely dependent upon reg date. Perhaps rephrasing it as "oldest and/or most popular" would better convey my intent?

It's not, but I'm just popular enough to not get yelled at every time I post. I don't hang out in the cool kids IRC channel (anymore) and I don't participate in the trolling circlejerks most of the time

edit: I don't know what I'm trying to get at here and I don't feel like rewording my poorly written post so I just added this instead

Not all of us are. :/

Just the people who respond the most/the fastest are.

I will say though, that I think too much bashing is going on and it isn't needed. A good example is talking about MMOs. If you aren't talking about World of Warcraft, you can expect to see a few people bash the thread before it slips off the front page.

I know that Drys pretty much took SA's rules and applied them here, but what makes these forums a "mini-SA"?

Nothin' much. CoD's multiplayer good? If so, I may install it tomorrow or something. (Any recommendations on a server if I do?)

Can't complain. My guild in WoW got their panties in a twist when I said that they weren't ready for ZG, then when they spend a week getting wtfpwn'd by the bat boss and I'm all like "I told you so". Yadda, yadda, yadda, they booted me and I've been playing CivIII, Guitar Hero, the odd round of Half-Life 1, and some handheld action with the GBA.

It's all good

While their is nothign stopping new members from joining, i dont see anything that would compel them to do so, the hook used to be the comic, then word of mouth, and while im sure that still happens to some degree, at the moment the majority of the poeple here have been here for years and i fail to see waht would attract new users
