Ha! Got you! Yeah, thats right.. you. Why are you looking around like I'm talking to some one else? What I get you with, you ask? Well look at you! You came in here thinking 'oh snaps, a srs thrd'. You were probably bundling up your fists, and huffing with rage and getting ready to lay down some QQ and flames and stuff.
But wrong! its not a serious thread! its an amusing time passing thread disguised. I just IFF jammed your sensors there, buddy. I just flipped your signature designators.

Then whats that? I do it again! because it is about to get real up in here!

I am looking to see how many of you are still around, I know that there has been a drop of some people who no longer frequent the forums as much as when I first joined back in Oct or so. I serenely have not been perusing any serious conversations since I hate doing the same arguments over and over.

So the question stands to reason, who is still hanging about? How long has it been since you engaged in serious posts or topics? What is it you do on the forums now? Did you see the Awesome? Are you afraid that if you are gone to long you will miss the 'real' beta?

Yeah, you all just got NARCed! heads up 'cus I just slapped you in the face with a whole salvo of LRMS!

Edit... You will always wonder what I changed....

When a new theread or idea comes along, I'll post but alot of the forum traffic is just adding to threads that have been around for a while. After one has had a say, there is really no need to keep beating a dead horse until someone makes a strong new point. It's fun just reading others' thoughts even onsome of the older threads.

I usually just quote someone from the thread and comment on it. It makes me look like I'm part of the community.

Same here Omigir. I throw in a wee bit every now and again, comment on the Wednesday drop, but that is about that really.

Only so many times you can talk about melee, madcats, the unseen and what not...

But I do keep an eye out. every now and again someone says something new to me.

Not frequently, mind.

Now I am confused. Are you trolling, or trying to ask us if we keep visiting the forums? ;)

It's irrelevant, degrading and no doubt will repeat on me, typical Omigr - our thanks for keeping his thread on the front page ;)

Seriously? Posted Image
I read this thread because I try to read Every thread in certain sub forums in here, therefore marking it as having been read. I either read them to gain knowledge, insight, or try to help someone else by directing them to the info they seek. If I can contribute, I do, but not to every thread. Get used to the repeated thread, as they are apt to become more numerous as we get closer to the the release, and heck yea, probably for a while afterwards.

My thoughts on this thread? Posted ImagePosted Image

XD not really a troll, Morana.. not this thread at least. Just a fun thread for people who have not been around much or wanting to participate on current threads can pop in and say what they have been up to, why they have not been around. With my own quarky humor added on top ;)

;) I mean, if we are all serious all the time, then who is having fun!?

Paul.. that is who!

Was hoping you weren't going to take my post as a flamer. *whew* I knew what you were trying to do, just caught me offguard. Posted Image

*tries to lift a hand belonging to an arm covered with cobwebs and what must have once been an uniform*
*gives up halfway*

How long has it been since you engaged in serious posts or topics?

I... I don't remember. Must have been two days before. Or last week. Feels like ages though.

What is it you do on the forums now?

I try to defend MW:O against MA kiddies while the purists are on vacation. ;)

Did you see the Awesome?

Yes. It is Awesome.

Are you afraid that if you are gone to long you will miss the 'real' beta?

No. I'll be busy writing my bachelor thesis until august, so I never even planned to participate in the beta.
I've been waiting almost a decade, so a few month won't hurt.

Can I rant? Can I? Huh, huh?

I waana raaaant!

Seriously, just lurking these days with the odd post tossed in. At this stage of the development the game is pretty much what it's going to be at launch minus the tweak here and there. So just sitting back and waiting for open beta.

To try and stay positive; All the redundant threads for LAMS and Clan Tech and future years tech, ad nuseum, are making the forum quicker to read since I just ignore all those. ;)
