Lemur 492 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 man, the k forum used to be freaking awesome. Agreed, i think a lot of it's decline was when scu left (def no blaming you scu) and power was ceded to tfurg who kinda mucked it up by sticking all those threads. I think that act even though it looked helpful really stifled the "dynamic" flow of how the k forum was operating, as well as the fact I don't think the literature can just be put in labeled boxes like that- thats not how theory works. That and just some of the big names who were pretty prevalent in k forum discussion disappeared. I just think if it was able to regain a mod that was active it could be revitalized to a certain degree. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New round of puzzle games? Also: can we get the proper parties together to re-tell Yellowtail? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lemur 492 Report post Posted April 24, 2011 New round of puzzle games? Also: can we get the proper parties together to re-tell Yellowtail? This would probably be near impossible. Unless sold to each as their chance to put in their final definitive word/side of the story. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ankur 2917 Report post Posted April 24, 2011 The quick and dirty of the yellowtail affair is that there was a discrepancy over some tickets between Wes and Shayan, various accusations of thievery which eventually boiled over to cross-x in the form of bickering and AIM chatlogs. At some point, I am pretty sure one of them posted a poll on "who was right" (probably Shayan). Wes, at some point during this debacle, posted the picture of him and his bong. In the background was a bottle of yellowtail wine. I decidedly made fun of him for consuming alcoholic juicy juice instead of real wine. It snowballed from there. The same way that when someone either makes a horribly idiotic comment or fails at trolling we say something along the lines of "you Tfurg'ed it"... Yellowtail just represents colossal ineptitude.

Studley Dudley 814 Report post Posted May 3, 2011 this transition to ip board software is way worse than the transition from ubb to vb was. history There once was a hilarious poster by the name of Chris Logrhy. He stopped posting on these boards around the same time he finished debating in college... age 31. And there was much rejoicing. Just kidding, post here again, you're still hilarious, even if you are Louie's age. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
