Wonder what happened to Onslaught and Killerhurtz?

I think onslaught is in a museum or on display somewhere. Team hurtz still has killer along with beta and terror.
Ah, OK. The former doesn't sound so farfetched when you consider that in the Museum of Lincolnshire Life, Stinger is actually mentioned as part of the industrial exhibit.

This forum could use an actual rolepay section :/
Well, yeah. Pity that asterisks aren't as popular amongst the GTMers as they used to be, though.

Cake's gonna have a fit when he gets online on ST forum and sees what Nate posted ^^'
Why is it that I can imagine it being like this-

 
Also, sorry if I seemed a little bit angry last night...

IN OTHER NEWS

I now have an IRL friend for the week. Cake came over from Aberdeen to visit and is staying in a hotel at the other end of Fochabers :D
That's good to hear- I remember you discussing him with me over Skype.
Yeah, the rude one who's swearing the ST forum to its knees :gawe:
That's the one  :D
 
Cake is an odd name. I wonder if their surname is Kipling.
An exceedingly good joke, there   :approve:
 
(Damn it, now I'm feeling like some Angel Slices  XD)

Same.
Be careful though, Nate- they may ban you for what's happened. I've personally seen both sides of the argument and forgiven you myself, so if push does come to shove, I can help with your case. That's not to say I was in support of erasing everything, though.

I'm not mad, actually.
Nah, I just posted it to brighten the mood in general. Hopefully we're still not mad at each other for earlier, right?

Hydro hates me now :P

Seeing as I've more or less considered my options on what to do, I've this to say.
 
Some things in life are bad.
They can really make you mad,
other things just make you swear and curse.
But when you're chewing on life's gristle,
don't grumble. Give a whistle!
And this'll help things turn out for the best.
 
And...

If it allows me to throw Hadokens at it, that's one of your rare good ideas, mate  :P

No war is ever going to end all war. Unless it destroys every single member of humanity, in which case nobody will ever remember, recall or discover that particular war.
Indeed- always a likelihood as long as human stupidity exists.

It bothers me that they'd call their war "The Great War," because that's what Wrold War I was originally called, when people foolishly & optomistically believed that there would never again be another world war.
Indeed. It reminds me of a drawing I saw in an old Horrible Histories book on it, showing a girl and her grandfather looking at a war memorial, listing the names of the 20th century wars, to which the girl dejectedly states-
 
"I forget which one was supposed to be the war to end all wars"

Does that mean if someone on this forum actually gets it and restores it, they will ask Click to make a rep of it for DSL 3.0  :laughing
Not quite- needs moar Cassius II  :P

Didn't get it?
I did, but more an explanation of why they block things, really. That sums up the typical reaction.

[rant mode]

The majority of YouTube, or at least the popular stuff, is horrendous. The popular variety of anything is horrendous, because that means the idiots have jumped in it and taken over. Nobody in business gives a crap about making something remotely intelligent or having any sense of integrity, they just want something that will sell, and the best way to do that is to make something for thick people. That way nobody's left out, and they get more people buying it overall.

Humanity is going down the <expletive>ing toilet, if we keep going at this rate.

[end rant mode]
Also, a lot of the better youtubers have grown sick of youtube for these and other reasons, and have left.
Quoted for truth. If not for my friends and subscriptions and subscribers and things, I'd have left a long time ago. At the same time however, I can't just get up and leave- my subscribed channels (IE. Sonny's, for instance) still produce good content, and I've carefully cultivated my friend list over a period of time- erasing that would mean three years' work down the toilet. So for now, I've basically got to put up with all these dodgy partnerships, the WMG wankers, this whole "THIS CONTAINS CONTENT FROM AMERICAN TELLY AND HAS BEEN BLOCKED IN YOUR COUNTRY ON COPYRIGHT GROUNDS" fiasco (why have that? Youtube never used to do that), and of course, some of the most dysfunctional, GIFT-abiding morons I've yet seen on the internet. In all honesty, the horrible spelling and complete lack of any form of punctuation makes you weep for the future of humanity alone, never mind the obsceneties and unbridled hatred over such trivial matters.

Aww thanks GF.

Me personally, I believe that as long as there's room for people who pay no money and make no money on Youtube, that there's still hope for the good video makers.

And the depressing thing is, it will have replaced English as Youtube's standard language by next year, judging by the rate of all the idiots using it.

All of this is true, but I properly can't stand people who deliberately spell things incorrectly, or using so-called "leetspeak" in a desperate attempt to appear cool, because they just come across as stupid and ignorant to me. And it's all very well plucking the agrument about language constantly evolving out of the air, but I put it to you that absolutely no words in the works of Shakespeare or Dickens were ever spelt using numbers.
Quoted for truth. I've always used regular British English in typing- for precisely the reasons you mentioned, "l33tsp33k" or deliberately spelling stuff wrong doesn't appeal to me at all.

That is a concept that I have NEVER understood. Seriously, I <expletive>ing hate the guy.
