Yeah none of this makes any sense. Neel is right.
Mr Thou! Mr Thou!
I always thought the whole Socs thing was intentionally ironic. While some people here at EoFF might be more popular than others, nobody really abuses their status or uses it to gain favour.
A commonly cited example of Soc-ism is the GR8EST Spam Thread vs. MAPS theory. Basically, this states that Linus' thread was Archived and MAPS was not because Linus is a popular member, and the MAPS participants are not. That might well be true, but even if it is, is it really Linus' fault if the staff decided to archive one thread and not the other? Of course not, so there's no reason to label him a Soc.
In reality, of course, the fact was that there was already a spamfest thread in the archives. What exactly would be gained by putting MAPS in there as well? It seems to me that the only ones who wanted it archived were the particpants, so adding it to GA wouldn't be in the interests of the entire forum, but merely a few select members. And that, my friends, is Soc-ism.
Same thing, surely?Originally Posted by BoB on BAoTW

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
OMG BoB loves me
I am so not a senior though, more like someone who just mucks about and winds up BoB by making him a puppet :P

SEXY McAWESOME TO YOU, MISTER

That's the exact point I was going to try to make.
Wow. THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF ME. I AM TOUCHED.
This is something that I've been meaning to write for ages, because I actively consider the content on the BAoTW site to be wrong, but let me explain.
A long time ago, in June 2003, me and good ol' Striff were in #eoff. We noticed that despite the fact we were both completely AWESOME (
And so we added all kinds of random stuff like walruses and the like, just to make us better. Because y'know, walruses vs non-walruses, puh-lease? Anyway, I guess we adopted a them vs us mentality. I don't know why. We just did. And so we bashed things. Like LiveJournal. Yes, I know I have an LJ now, but then LJ needed codes and were held by all the "socs" as we branded them, and I guess we felt isolated from that.
Anyway, BAoTW has been a great way for me to make friends on EoFF. So many members have become those I consider friends, and that is all through BAoTW. And other members have made friends too.
I'm not popular. The only people I am popular with are my friends. I am not "accepted" by the popular members. Hell, look at my LJ friends list. None of the people on it bar 2 or 3 are people who originally I'd call "socs". Hence why a lot of them just criticised BAoTW in this thread. I'm not especially bothered, but I love your personal attacks on me, they always make my day, Brian. Or Ryan. Whatever.
And I don't "spam" (I only ever made one spam thread, for the record) to entertain you. I do it to entertain me. Although a lot of other people find it entertaining. And if someone like BoB posted it, people WOULD be in love with it and think it was awesome. Whether you choose to accept it or not.
FOR THE RECORD: There is only one person in the world who is a soc now.
Loony BoB, we love you
