I've considered applying for modship, but I'm afraid I'd go full ADAM on your asses.

Nooby, run with me. We'll be the new HC power couple, we'll lead us into a final golden age.

We'll nuke all of the dissenters from high orbit.

It'll be grand.


Don't take the offer, Gnomes just wants to spread your sweet sugary serb junie cakes. Which is ass. He wants your ass.

Look. Kip. Just because you're correct doesn't mean you're right. I can want me and Nooby to be mods for non-lewd reasons. I could just want to have unlimited power, and an active mod to get drunk on that power with. You don't know me. You don't know my life.

Idk why I keep getting Fred and William mixed up, which is odd given how Will has become pretty chill and Freddo used to be chill.

As for you Blizz, you and Forfy have this way of being decent human beings then just going off the rail for some wild mystical cause that only you can bloody see. Meanwhile from my vantage point all I see is the trail of entrails as bodies get dragged or collided with your derailed train of thought.

But no nothing is really any different besides a few things. For instance when  there was an argument there'd always be some 'other' place you could chill, like us and the lads in the VW had no idea who said what or whose panties got twisted in such and such OSM thread we were just aving a laugh n mindin our own business. The sections used to be seperate entities. Now with so few people it's all just one big deserted shop instead of a Mall.

So it's not so much people are on short fuses, it's just a decaying family, and the latest batch of our inbreeding did not yield much promise. With Gnomes back maybe I'll finally have decent genes to work with.

Though to be fair, I'm with Blizz. Under normal circumstances his spamming would be mildly irritating at best, but the response has been unwarranted.

I remember when I came back to the forum in 2009 and Nebdar told me that I was an ancient poster because I registered earlier.

That was only the beginning of a great friendship and posting alliance.

Don't get me wrong, i think everyone here are decent people, more or less; and i'd like to hang out with anyone here. Despite anyone's beliefs, we are all people who i think would make for a great get-together. I was friends with meroe up to a point, i got along with adrius up to a point, i think even kiryu entertained now and again(can't really remember).

It is these toxic and nonsensical ideas that people have pushed on them, that they for some reason accept, that divides them from people with both feet on the ground.

Even then, i'd still like to meet them. We all had a childhood, dreams, and will have to deal with whatever future comes to us all. It is this basis, this core, that i think everyone can find a common ground, be relatable, and could have an interesting story to be told. Over a beer, pina colada, or milkshake.

I don’t agree with someone’s opinion or ideas on a subject dividing them from others.
First of all, there is no way for others to know their ideas or opinions in the first place. You see a person on the street drop their wallet you pick it up and return it to them. They thank you and continue on their way. For all you or they know either party could be anarchist and the other totalitarian. Both happily coexisting together.

The divide comes when one side or the other feels the need for superiority or control and starts to assert their values on the other. The atheist coming to tell the orthodox that god doesn’t exist and he shouldn’t waste his time on such fairytales. After which the orthodox tells the atheist he should repent to not spend eternity in the wall of the damned. Both might have the best interest of the other side in mind but deeply offend them regardless. Still they could live civil lives as neighbours, friends, family.

What stops this is when either party takes action against the other’s beliefs. Purposefully or by negligence. A field of dandelions is awfully pretty and tasty but planting it next to a golf course is asking for trouble. There are purposeful trolls but those are not worth spending your time on and you should just leave them to rot. The negligent ones are whom you should spend your time on. Not their love of dandelions but on their lack of thought about how planting them next to the golf course makes life difficult for the ones taking care of the golf course.

I love how some people play the impartiality card... It was the christian who came and attacked first, saying people of my ideology should be put to death by firearms, after he praised racism.
Then, for weeks we had "Talking about Christianity" in the first page of Today's Posts, so I opened a thread to counter it. You don't have MORE right to your opinions then I have to my own.

i know im not perfect enough in order to talk here, but, guys, here's an old photo of some of you about which you might not have known that it exists somewhere in this virtual reality




reading this thread made me recall about this photo and the last modified date is 25.09.2008, though it s probably older.

It represents the Pantheon of HC Admins at that time...

... and it makes you think about life.

@forfy
I dont remember much about kiryu but both adrius and meroe were cool in my book, too. They were most certainly not man-hating at all.

@ I agree about blizz, I mean yes, he sometimes posts like the caricature of the left indeed, but then again kip does the same thing with right, it’s just an internet persona, nothing to get mad about. It’s easy to separate when he’s spamming and when he’s serious, it only becomes annoying when he switches in the middle of an argument.

I mean, never had that much animosity here, maybe being too harsh in the heat of the moment at times true, but really, always there just to argue. Except when it comes to people talking about cuisine, I hate you all to my guts and I will hunt you down and strike you down with maximum prejudice.

Seeing Kiryu mentioned, funnily enough I think we were on good terms (well, at least in my opinion from my side lol) despite being on completely opposite sides. Sometimes I wonder where they vanished.

the swedes most likely got a fatal dose of cultural enrichment.

Meroe is a brit afaik, so most likely is in prison for an expired tv loicense or mean tweets.

I also remember Meroe and I wouldn't even paint her as a woke feminist, just a woman posting from a feminine point of view (granted, I remember her mostly from NoobX most famous thread). As an example of respectful disagreeing I recall Salamandre, we couldn't be more in opposing sides, even about what we expect from a map, and I'm in pain thinking my ERM teacher, the guy that put me to tears with the introduction of one of his most underrated maps and encouraged me to create my own maps, is gone forever because of progress.

I'm amazed Meroe even tolerated me us as well as she did. I never remember her being a feminist, unless you count "feminist" in the 1950s sense of the word.

Yea, I personally haven't seen it before. Appreciate you posting it, seems cool

I wouldn't say it makes me think about life though. Makes me think more about how they misspelled Alcibiades', Valeriy's and Mytical's usernames.
They also forgot to add DragonSister, but her modship's been obscure knowledge for decades, so it's understandable.

Yes, I had the presence of mind to save her reply in another thread for posterity before it got nuked from VW (which it did). Here.

From my perspective, it's about the same as it always has been. People just always like to think the present is worse than the good old days. Declinism is a well-studied cognitive bias.

And I do wish Elodin was back. Much as he drove me crazy most of the time, he was a great foil that defined my thinking on religious topics in a lot of ways. Which could I guess be said about HC in particular.
