Ah, and here we come to the second argument present thus forth: "we still play inf". Allright, yes you do, and i never said you should stop. Just where in my posts do you see any indication that i want you to stop playing infiltration? Hell, i've even been on a few times, if just to waste a little time and see the final product. I've got no problem with playing the game. As memory serves, Infil is one of two games installed right now on my computer, not including the origional UT that its installed upon.
Hey, fags, keep on playing your game. I'm not judging you for that. Going online and playing is one of the few things i still see as decent around here, outside of people actually going well out of their way in vain attempts to keep the game fresh.

My problem isn't with playing the game, its with all this idiocy in these here forums. So, in short, way to miss the point, guys. If all you did was play the game and not post random stupidity here, i'd be cool with it. Hell, that's what i'm aiming for. However, as it stands, THIS PLACE (specifically, the inf off topic and the majority of the posts in the other forums, outside of perhaps the online forum, as well as #infiltration) is **** and should be cut out like the vestigal **** that it is because it only degrades what once was.
My secondary point was a matter of ePenis which has yet to be contested. We won, you lost, hahahah. I simply explained the conclusion (and our victory) to a very old dispute as i figured a few opponents were still hanging around in these forums, which they were.

Ahem.

Arethusa, your complaint about my argument is plagued by itself, as you still offer as of yet NO EVIDENCE OF SUCH. In addition, it was a ****ing macro, because it was used as one. Not to mention the entire link-stealing issues raised with it (host your own damn images. First ****ing rule of good forum etiquette, right there).

Lt., there are several key differences between this punitore character and myself which i won't even bother going into if you can't recognize them yourself.

Taque, as i stated, i did expect response. But this place has failed to prove me wrong, which was expected as well. It was my hope that you guys would indeed be able to mount a decent defense in your response, otuside of "Bwah grammar" and arguments which miss the point entirely.

But compared to the #inf forums or the ExtraLife boards, mainly frequented by Inf oldtimers, the official forums are pretty active...
#Inf forums are history, no? I don't think the EL Boards are mainly frequented by Inf oldtimers either.

This place is dead? Yeah, this thread proves that. Or rather, the replies. The initial post is just the usual elitist "I'm a vet and I'm so much better than all of you". What else is new? Certainly not the per usual bitching and whining from Owl. Why don't you try contributing with something worth reading next time? As it is, you are just wasting my time, just as I'm wasting my time replying.

Thank you.

I hope to see some more substance, though, because that would be the first step in proving me wrong. Fist, first of all, i commend you for offering a decent point in an otherwise generic assanine response, so i'll address simply that. When the car doesn't run anymore, you'll still go out and get a new one, which was the advice given in my post.
Next, addressing your bland insults, as should be obvious, #inf no longer cares about infiltration in the least- i'm here because i want to see exactly what i stated in my origional post, and to offer the conclusion for an old argument, which you should well remember.
now we can move on to Arethusa's post, because he's a great example that i wish i had known about before i made the first post. Arethusa, i thank you for being a dolt who registered very recently, instead of a dolt who registered in 1999, because then you mightve been able to counter my points. However, as it stands, you reinforce them. Lets go through a point by point analysis of your post (which would've been what you shouldve done to mine, if not just a well written and coherent response to my first one). first of all, you present an image macro attesting, simply, that i wrote a short and stupid generic flame filled with bad spelling and accusing people of being gay. Now, outside of the present problem with macros in forums (read, they are stupid and annoying), your macro is completely wrong about the entire post. Look at what they little circle says, and then look at my post, sir. Its funny, how on the internet, you can find hoards of people who will call you stupid in a manner that only makes they themselves appear idiotic. He then agrees with me, and then calls an imbecile and offers no evidence towards this means. Teehee.
Read my post, dumb****. PROVE ME WRONG. Show me that this place is still alive, that intelligent discourse is not lost. Please.
If you already know everything about everyone on this forum, and their exact reactions to your posts, then why bother posting, other than to boost your own ego, or to maintain your own pride?

No really, whats the point of all this? I'd love to know.

Why directly try to invoke such things as retaliation and flaming, when they are clearly hidden treasures to be unlocked only when absolutely nessecary?

This is one of the greatest forums I know of, and this thread is a perfect example of all the reasons why. First, people have the balls to flame eachother. Second, mods have the balls to let threads like these roam unlocked and undeleted.

Yes, please.
LOL, is this one of those guys who tried to leak 2.9 before it was released? :lol: Those guys were a hoot.

The mental masturbatory nature of the topic post speaks for itself. I'm happy to hear #Inf and whatever else this guy is on about is doing well. Thanks for the update. Bye now. Have fun with your epenis.

You don't need bad grammar and typos to be a troll.

Fixed it for you. Stop reading Fark, it destroys your long term memory and your IQ.

Oh yeah, this place is really kicking. I'm beside myself with anxiety because I can't decide whether to post in "p0sT ur kewl vidz here lol" or "HALF LIFE 2 IS RELEASED LOL!!!! MADE YOU L@@K HAHALOL" One should not be expected to make such difficult choices.

It is contributing. This thread's seen more activity in two days than the entire forum's seen in a week. Granted, 90% of said activity is idiotic at best, but at least it's activity on a level other than "saw this on fark and it is funney lol" It is elitist chest-beating on owl's behalf, and I think more of it is needed, because this place has degenerated into something beyond bad. And yes, we did tell you it would happen. I'd be doing some chest-beating of my own if I wasn't so pessimistic about the future of this place. Don't even try to tell me this place is even half as good as it was a couple of years ago.

Correct! Leave this thread, and take your holier-than-thou attitude with you.

Thanks ^____________________________________^

LOL, Jaunty take your hand out of your pants, everyone can see you.

I fail to see the point in this "OMG every1's an idiot! This place has no future LOLZ!!!" sentiment. I don't think anyone really cares if their posts meet some arbitrary "level of intelligence" requirement imagined by some nitpicking elitist jack-offs, nor are they worried about the "future" of the game forum they post at. This is a fringe mod for a 5 year old game, of course it's going no where. If you want to stroke yourself, go ahead, but don't pretend to have a point.

And honestly, how can the "leak" of 2.9 be considered successfull when no one bothered to download it anyway; and everyone just waited for the official release as if the leak never even happened? That whole affair was just a joke.

By merely posting, in my view, you are expressing an opinion. Perhaps not an opinion related to the thread, but an opinion none the less.

And yes, I have been guilty of stupid posts lately, particularly in the BuF OT forum. I have no excuses for doing so. However, I do agree with owl's post. For god's sake, owl's post was far less inflammatory (sp) than some of the threads a few years ago. Everyone needs to stop being so thin-skinned. Mojo tore people up here on a regular basis, no doubt inflicting serious mental anguish on some people much to the laughter of many people here. Inf was known as a "bad" community because we were for the most part, bitter, cynical, sarcastic and gun-crazy. Maybe not quite as gun crazy as in; "MY GUNS WILL SAVE ME FROM GOVERNMENT TYRANNY BUT I WON'T ACTUALLY USE THEM FOR THAT PURPOSE BECAUSE I WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO STOP ALL THE NON-WHITES FROM INVADING MY PURE LAND!" but still. We had serious discussions and lots of insults and I certainly had fun, even when I was a brainless, immature moron at the time.

As for all this talk about elitism, look around; Inf is/was an elitist community. We weren't very fond of n00bs (newbies are different) or the attention to realism in other mods, and anyone of the Inf team will tell you how much we hassled them about issues in the game that we felt were unrealistic and were not subject to engine limitations. The BMA was started here from my recollection because some individuals were not happy with the attitude of noobs here nor the whole shift in moderation to "Insults hurt each other's feelings and discussions about religion, politics, feminism and anything serious in nature makes baby Jesus cry." The BMA just decided to try and keep the community special.

In short, I agree with owl, though christ knows why I hang around here anymore. DLL was kicked out after all the censorship and attitude he gave us and we have beerbaron and keg, who though I haven't spoken with them much, appear to be very nice guys and guess what? We decided not to go back to the good old days, and I'm as guilty as anyone else here of fucking that up. Many of the more intelligent and humorous people left for IRC to try and revive that spirit and just talk plain shit.

...I'm honestly confused why the corpse is still rolling around, ...
I still post here because I enjoy doing so. Even though there aren't as many people like jaunty and Code (also known as DLL) mixing it up about serious topics such as murdering squirrels in the name of God as there once was, I wouldn't go so far as to say that this forum is anywhere near as bad as the typical game-devoted forum. The people here are still diverse, well-spoken, and interesting. I guess they're not interesting to you anymore, but as I am sure you realize, your perceptions have no real bearing on those of others.

owl said:
...but all signs point to even that slowly grinding to a halt soon enough.
No fucking kidding, seriously? This game is old and dying, and this community is based on it. I don't know why you would even expect it to remain in motion with such infrequent infusions of "new" as it has had. Thems the breaks when it comes to "official" communities formed with such temporary things as games as their bases. However, as your #inf community demonstrates, the bonds and friendships and whatnot that formed here will continue on even when the entire Unreal franchise goes away. I do not believe that these events are all that surprising or unexpected, nor do I think they are matters to be so terribly lamented.

owl said:
And that, in the end, is my advice to you today: let it die. Leave. Grab the emails of those people you deem worthy of keeping in touch with from here and get the **** out. Infiltration is dead, the forums are dead, #infiltration is dead. Let it go, you disgusting, stupid ****s...This place used to be great- respect it by leaving.
It certainly is good advice to get the e-mails of all those here with whom you enjoy speaking, as we can't know when exactly this place will be shut down. But I do not understand why we, those who still enjoy posting here, should stop doing something we enjoy so that your odd sense of pride in what this place once was can remain intact; you've given me no compelling reason to bow to your wishes. Sure sure, you've told me that it is dumb, stupid, and unenjoyable, but I disagree. If you could prove to me that this place is dumb, stupid, and that I no longer enjoy posting here, then I'd have a reason to follow your harshly presented advice.

owl said:
You've got nothing to talk about now, and when you've got nothing to say the words tend to be pretty dull.

Thank you for informing us that we're unentertained when posting here...we might never have known.

But see, the car hasn't quit running for the people who still post here. It may be a different car than the one you have and it may be a car that you think is stupid and useless, but it is still getting the remaining members of this community where they want to go, so why would they get a new one? A person who goes out and buys a motorcycle merely because someone pointed at the car he had and said, "That's not a very good motorcycle" is silly, if he likes the car.

As for your argument, you win. This community has become something that you and your community no longer enjoy. You were right! Now explain to me (carefully and slowly, because you know how dumb I am), a person who has always enjoyed this community, why I should care.

So you want to see everyone leave this community? Why? Why can't you and your community just be separate from this community? Obviously you all have nothing much but disdain for what this community has become, so why not just separate yourselves completely? I do not understand how this community, no matter how stupid and useless it becomes, has any effect on the excellence of your community. If your purpose was to improve and restore this community, then I might understand your presence here. But that is obviously not the case as you are telling everyone to abandon ship. If I am misunderstanding something about what you have said, please let me know.

Dear Jafo,
Remember what I said about people on the internet finding ways to call people stupid whilst seeming stupid themselves?
Well then oh great fountain of knowledge:
Please explain why you couldn't even be bothered to spell my name correctly ?
Oh wait ... that's beyond your typing-skills as well ?

Lets look at this again, this time with an eye to proper editing and spacing. ...
So your enter-key still is broken ?
Or did you really expect people to even bother reading your endless stream of nonsensical wannabe 1337-dude message ?

So, if we make these corrections:
Next, i will address your "HURR PENNY ARCADE" argument, a surprising and fully witted followup to the origional "HURR PENNY ARCADE". Oh no! Except i can't possibly think of a better argument than "HURR PENNY ARCADE"! It's flawless in every way, just like Penny Arcade, which I am apparantly too stupid to understand. I'll never know why unoriginality and hack writing is funny and I'm going to go into the corner and cry. Oh, wait a second! It ISN'T!
sjees ... it's a web-comic. It's not a site with all the answers to life, the universe and everything. Yet despite that it does have its moments of brilliance once in a while.

Then again ... I guess even thinking that there might be some truth hidden in there goes against your elitist attitude.

No, I don't read Penny Arcade, I read ****ing literature.
Oh pardon me great reader of 'literature'. Take your "I have read big books so I am better than anyone else"-attitude and shove it up there where the sun don't shine.


PS: Please remember that in the future, if you are going to try to attack my grammar and spacing that you should consider using proper grammar and spacing yourself, unless you want another English lesson.

PSS: I'll get to the rest of you after class.
PS = Post Scriptum

I'm sure a PS after a PS would be a PPS, but then again you're so obessed with Nazi-Socialisme that your tiny little mind gets confused at times.

PPS :
If you thought that was an 'attack' then I'd suggest you take a stress-pill or something before your head explodes.

I joined at about the end of the hayday of those times that owlofdoom is talking about and quite frankly I never really cared for it. The forums were so clogged full of bitching whining and trolling any intelligent thread got to about three posts before turing into a massive sh*t flinging contest.

I understand what your trying to do but I have to say that it's just not going to work. Jaunty has kept up the fight for a while by causing controversy but majority of the time he has radical views that you can't help but agree with. I like his style as offensive as it is and after reading his posts I feel liek I learned soemthing. I'm a bit surprised by the fact he's supporting this but that's neither here nor there.

My point is that you want the forums to go back to the good ol days by sparking the same kind of controversy and arguments that made it fun for you but the boards have changed, the people have changed and the ones who stayed have changed as well as stated before. You can keep this fight going but I don't see any real point to it.

The ones you trolled with and against have left. They moved on. no one else is carrying this crusade except you because they've all moved on. Maybe you should take the hint and do the same.

Yeah, but what can you do?
