You guys can call me whatever you like, although these days I mostly go by the name FoneJack on different forums/gaming communities.

You obviously haven't been looking hard enough to find recent posts then have you? If he hadn't improved, there would probably be another leaving thread... in fact, if he was still as bad as he was, he would still be imitating Scourge, and he would've raged at you for petitioning to ban him, rather than not really giving a ****. Plus he would be down to about -60 rep, and GCT would be at about...2125-2130 pages after being filled up with petty arguments. And there would be another poop thread.

But, if you look at his recent posts, you will see that there is nothing flame war inducing (unless you take offence to mature posts), and that his whole forum personality has appeared to have improved.

Then again, this whole post is just my opinion.

This made me laugh. My favorite part was, "There would be another poop thread." Lol, what even happened to that thread?

Are you guys still cool with the whole realistic stock thing? I've got a few bots I want to post, but they are in no way combat worthy.

They also have paint splashes :V

Sure, I guess. Jonzu's starting something that focusses on Realistic Stock, so why not?

Welcome back Sparkey. The boards have honestly been pretty quiet without you (mostly because of the drama that used to happen round here but it might be refreshing to have some actual <expletive> go down here).

Don't know who said this, but there was another poop thread... And then another. Then finally a thread called "The Fecal Matter Topic". I made the three after the original got deleted until Naryar got all butthurt about it.

Dude building has shifted away from efficiency towards what could be done in real life. Unless they are like a white box with two wheels and no interesting features you should be fine. (ignore Nary when he rages about inefficient bots he still loves efficiency building)

There's still some standard DSL round here too, so it's pretty cool on the building front. A little too much IRL for my liking (does NOT work in tournaments, and that's not just my grudge against Skidmark talking

).

You made it, you left, it was deleted, HA made it, it was deleted, HA made another, it was deleted, HA made yet another one under a different name, and it was deleted, Then he gave up...unless I forgot about a fifth incarnation.

So, on the last day of school (May 16 or 17), I think I'll make a tournament. Nothing special just a normal, combat efficient DSL tournament. Any weight classes you guys want?

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #31773 on:** April 22, 2012, 05:08:03 PM »

Middleweight would be nice.

123savethewhales · « **Reply #31774 on:** April 22, 2012, 05:09:05 PM »

welcome back sparkle.

NFX · « **Reply #31775 on:** April 22, 2012, 05:13:06 PM »

Welcome back to the boards, Sparkey. Permabans arne't as permanent as I thought they were, evidently.

Hopefully you'll have improved this time around, though. If Garvin has improved, then I'm reasonably confident you can too.

I was leaning towards that direction before. Now to figure out how to do a splah.

....or get someone to do it for me...

Ooooh, apparently the original Xbox was made with normal PC components.

I should play my Xbox at some point.

You did not know this? I am disappoint...

Xbox 360 and PS3 are too. The only difference is the operating system/firmware.

I knew consoles are just low-spec PCs, but I thought they had a few components that they didn't share with PCs.

Oh dear god...he found out about the ban removal...

We're doomed. All doomed.

Give him a chance, guys. Look how GTG has improved.
