I'm not that active, but never dead.

Quoting yourself in this very topic to bump it without actually adding anything or replying to previous posts.

I didn't even need to press the 'More Posts By This User' link.

The Maw isn't elitist, we just tend to dislike people that ask the same question that has been posted 200+ times already. If you want to post, fine, but read the stickies and use common sense.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

I have to say, Join Dates don't really affect me. I can usually recognise when someone joined by their name. That's my join date system, I know who was on here before me, I know and am friends with many an 06er, and I know and appreciate the views of those who are newer members. Like the poster above: darekster2ongame... I recognise that name, ergo, I know he has been a member for quite some time. I respect everyone, whether they are new or old. What I don't respect is flamers and trolls, whom I'm sure everybody else doesn't like.

Tact is for those who aren't witty enough to be sarcastic.

No use cryin' over Spillt Milk

Perhaps the 'elitist' users feel that way because there are members like you who are obvious alt accounts.
Since you and Death v2 trip around the forums together and are always in agreement, there's an obvious conclusion to be drawn there.

Does our ability to call you out as an alt hinder your ability to be taken seriously?
No.
It's your personality that does that.

Please dont bring me up in your arguments with other users, I know you have your personal issues with me, but please stop trying to single me out, or attack me when I'm not even posting in this thread. Its rather childish and a bit trying on my patience.

Hm...just out of sheer morbid curiosity...what happens when your patience is tried?
Do you throw a tantrum like you did in the 'community guy' thread?

If so, I'll stick around and watch the waterworks if that's ok with you.

Isn't it odd that my attacking MLG Achronos got you to come running?

Both of you need to stop this pointless bickering. Get back on topic please. I don't like it when topics get locked because of personal vendettas.

If you two really need to argue, please, do it over PM's.

Do not. It helps determine the real member from a spammer/poser.

Someone posed as one of my Bnet friends last year, and join date was the only hint to identification.

I will simply persue the proper course of actions to have your actions delt with. Isnt it odd that you are trying to say that I came because you attacked MLG achronos, yet I never even mentioned his name in my post nor did I defend his actions? Please stop trying to start problems, its really not needed.

Oh, well get back to me when you figure out what it means to 'persue' something.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

I like join dates, even though I don't use them much, I check every once-in-a-while. I know now if someones been here for a while or hasn't just by thier name. For me, it's not so much of "this person's an '05 er, this person's an '07 er" its more, "this person's been here a while, this persons new to b.net"

Well mine isn't. If you guys wish to argue then do it via pm. There is no need to bicker about each other in a thread. Keep the thread on topic.

I think its an important part of somebody's identity.. sure it can cause elitism, but it will always be around.

Well I would be supportive of your statements, but I find it a bit odd that you would say that because in another thread you singled out and attacked another user, xPx Ape, and he also didn't even post in the thread.

If we removed the join date wouldn't you get the same response? Instead of clicking your icon for your join date wouldn't people search your posts and verify how long you've been active on the site? I don't think the problem is your join date, rather it is that you're new and people general regard people that they know better than strangers. I wouldn't call that elitism.

Alright, this discussion has been concluded, by the one man who would have the power to decide the outcome. Shall we drop the issue?
