Oh come on, nocash and Frostilicious were good people.

I consider myself more of a BPD:NOS than a sociopath, personally.

Ah... I suppose that does explain why I always felt at home here.

Hahaha, coming from you, that's really something, buddy.

Is this Bo? Because if it is, I honestly consider him to be a dangerous sociopath.

But then, I don't take pleasure in the pain of others and he demonized me as pure evil because I didn't want to have sex with Korean men so what do I know.

No PoE board ever needed the forum equivalent of a public stockade to control what happens when you have an entire community of yrmoms.

Other than a surprise appearance by aka_mouse, superjail hasn't been used in over two years. I don't know why I'm bothering to write this, but I was surprised enough to find my login still works to feel obligated to do so.

He'd take Name Brand Aspirin.

A writer at cracked.com actually summed it pretty well:

Every forum, especially the large ones, eventually reaches a point in its history where it has a "fracture" moment. You've probably experienced those in some of your favorite online haunts yourself. One person pisses off another, people start taking sides, a small war breaks out, and soon the virtual air is thick with virtual turds flying in every direction. Eventually, there'll be a walkout in which a bunch of people leave the community, likely starting a spin-off of their own so they can all stay in touch and remain as awful as they want to be.

From where I'm sitting, and admittedly it's not a spot with a great view, the animosity arrow is pointing the other way, scrimm. My stereotype of a bo-newser is one that things that users of all other forums are despicable. I don't view that position with animosity so much as distaste.

exy - agreed. And the sort of people who eventually flocked to Bo did what they could to drive people away from PoE-News. They made it the sort of site that discouraged people from posting because, if you did, you risked a hostile dogpile and who needs that.

I bear no animosity towards any of you! I like the videos that get posted here, I check in occasionally, it's fun.

Bort, I do think it's funny that poetv, which has a white supremacist problem, is somehow morally superior in your mind, solely because some people who now post on bo were rude to you roughly a decade ago.

I think the most accurate criticism of bo would be that we are old and dull, now.
