Of course you guys don't -- most of you joined year(s) after that happened.

But for those who remember, were you quoted? I was quoted several times, especially for my *sexors newbie* greeting.

Topic, I guess, is whether you remember it, thoughts about it, and whether you've attained any sort of notoriety on the intertubes.

I can't believe I wasn't quoted. Just look at my name. Perfect opportunity XP Bastards.

I have seen the somethingawful thing :p though I don't remember the days.

I'm pretty sure I'm seeing the days in which that Quin 'n' Tonic fellow mocks us, though. Any of you guys been quoted by him?

I was just re-reading that something awful article a week or two ago. Then last week someone tried to do another EoFF Prom, which reminded me of the something awful article, then you make this thread PG.

It can't be just coincidence! :eek:

I remember lots of people (probably myself among them) whining that they weren't mocked at the time. It was quite a laugh, especially because I never expected anything like that to happen at a forum I attended.

Quit that!

I remember reading that article, and I recognised most people quoted in it. I remember in the article they said something about how ridiculous it is having Loony BoB being an administrator as he's a newbie. That made me xDDDD

I remember the profile of members who were mocked was boosted considerably. I remember wishing that I too could have written terrible poetry.

The Weekend Web on us really wasn't as class as some of their other stuff. It was pretty disappointing.

And Quin, you've squeezed every drop of blood out of that stone. That poor dead horse doesn't need any more lashings. We get it.

Do a search. It was on their forum mockery page, whatever it's called

I think some poem I posted way back when was mocked.

I liked the EOFF thread about it. I think somebody proposed suing Something Awful. Or maybe Sean just said he couldn't sue them. I don't remember. It was funny.

Miriel
09-20-2007, 10:05 PM
Yeah, I remember the thread. Everyone was all, "I can't believe they included that but not this!" It was neat that no one got all huffy and grumpy about it.

Alas, I wasn't around at the time. And apparently, Old Manus wasn't, either. He didn't get quoted. o_O

I liked that they put so much effort into digging out old dirt. They searched pretty deep to get it. :D

SA is funny because they fuck with Gorgeous George.

I was never quoted, but I posted pretty infrequently, so it's to be expected. That whole thing was hilarious though. Some people got pretty mad but then, some people got completely ripped on. :p

They got me, but didn't get me at the same time. :D I'm on the 8th page or so where they quoted Ryoko Masaki (http://forums.eyesonff.com/members/ryoko%2Bmasaki.html). I'm not sure if it counts or not but as you can see her signature is "list of current slaves so far" (I don't recall ever asking/allowing her to declare me her slave but...whatever) I am listed as my first ever username on this forum "Fallen_Angel_666" Oh yes... According to my sources she was dutch or appeared to be dutch and spent a little over a month on here. But yes I am on Something Awful :D

I was ignoring all the bad poetry up until this one:

And no, they didn't make fun of any of my posts, I wasn't an active member at the time :p

I was quoted twice. I can't remember what one of them was about at the moment, but the other was my "What if you had a boob on your head" thread (or something to that effect). Good times. The noted my Newbie/Admin mix of titles. 'twas great.

I actually registered at SA after that and they were pretty pleased that we were taking it in good spirits. A couple of people IM'ed me and stuff. Was nice enough, yeah.

I got quoted once. Something to do with the prom, I think. Weekend Web isn't all that great, but it was pretty entertaining to see EoFF featured, and even more entertaining seeing people's reactions in GC.

That whole article was disappointing. There was so much better material they could've used.

Ouch!
09-22-2007, 06:20 AM
I remember that. Good times.

"It's odd that this person's title both says "Senior Site Staff" and "Newbie". Guess they just make anyone a moderator over there. That's why their no good kids are running wild."

That was the best part. Good on ya, BoB.
