Listen, refried bean... We all know that you have a raging hateboner for the dude but, let's face it, I'm not the only one who doesn't fucking care and the people who do outnumber you by a pretty substantial margin. It's not our fault he said "No, I do not want to suckle your massive manmeat of hatred."

Jesus Christ. Being part of the Lix defense force should be a bannable offense.

We should have some sort of retro skin. This made me so nostalgic for the old days.

I'm not defending him.

I'm just absolutely sick and tired of Ol' Wetback here having to bitch and moan about El Blanco Grande all the fucking time like he killed his mother and then fucked the body. I think it's potentially far more destructive than what Elixir can do on his own.

This, much like Communism, only works in THEORY. In actual practice, it's completely the opposite.

And yes... You ARE defending him. Why else would you come to defend his name, which I'm sure is as pure as the driven snow?

Can you both shut the fuck up.

Also, can people stop nominating shit that isn't an actual event. So far we've got a nomination for A MEMBER (Frank), A MEMBERS UNBANNING, AND A POST REFERENCING A MEMBERS UNBANNING.

I hate all of you.

In actual practice, it's happening right now, you fucking dumbass.

Oh but I'm a moderator! I cannot possibly derail threads! Ever! I'm the good guy here!

The court finds that Elixir is bad, but is made worse by people who can not or will not shut up about how bad he is.

Court adjourned. Everybody shut the fuck up about Elixir.

Considering that the We Miss You Award is the only thread to have a decent level of interest, may I suggest in future gearing the awards completely towards the deep nostalgic yearning for years gone by, that is in the hearts of all longtime gamingforce members? If I may offer the following category suggestions:

Post of 2003
Thread of 2003
Best Returning Member Award
The Community Commons Award for most mentions of Gamingforce being better in the past
The 'I really liked that award, why did you get rid of it?' Award
The Chillout Lounge Award for most missed subforum

And so on.

Rest assured that next weekend, after I close the nominations I'll be thinning out the really silly shit. All the double nominations will go then and anything nominating that doesn't match the category will go too.

I propped you, then I unpropped because although nominating a member as an event is gay (unless that member is Dopefish circa 2006), an unbanning could very well shape to be an Event instead of just a happening. Not every event needs to be planned!

Community event. As much as certain people would like to say Elixir's unbanning would effect the Community as a whole, there's a great deal of us that don't give a fuck either way.

Doesn't make for much of an event. If it is considered any sort of event, it'd be because people with hateboners have nothing better to do with their time.

Well, you know me.

I read that as "Most people would care but a smaller, marginalized portion of us don't".

In other words, the community DOES care...(?)

No LeHah, you just can't read. That or your level of comprehension isn't high enough to understand the point I'm trying to convey.

By "certain people" I mean Enceph and maybe a few others who would like to make a big deal out of this, while the rest of the board continues to go about their business in an orderly fashion.
