Not for nothin, but that's the OT community as a whole. That's the behavior people expect from them. They make good money off that site.

I always heard Fazle took a loss constantly on OT...i mean if he was in it for the money, why didn't he sell it by now?

Fazle was always great to me, he'd go behind Glen and get me unbanned all the time, much to the annoyance of other supermods (Except sigirl she's great!)

I tried to keep my posts on OT to be about PC Gaming and Politics, I never got into the whole "know your supermods and admins!"

Although I have known TankRizzo for about 7 years, back from LS1 forums, god damn most boring person I ever met, I can see why people don't dislike him, but I don't understand why people like him...

Anyway, I never kept track of the whole "in" crowd at OT that spent ungodly amounts of time going over every detail of members, and ofcourse Nique and other OP

So, tell me about the strip club? All I know is they constantly had that code-word for strip clubs and related it to church "A lot of you have a problem with giving too much money when the collection comes aroound..." I always thought was hilarious

I'm sure most people are very cool when you're constantly reassuring them of how great they and their creation are.

a better measure of ones character would be to see how they react when you're pointing that their creation isn't as good as it once was.

Fazle spends a lot less time on OT than he used to, it's pretty much run by glen, or was when I was a mod.. he leaves most of the big decisions up to him, so if you piss him off you're pretty much fucked

They aren't really interested in ways to make the site better, they're interested in ways to lessen their workload (which, in all reality is fairly high)

The complaints about thread moves off the main board seem to be growing as the OT gods try to get the sub-forums more traffic

The emergant new diac crew seemed to be on the verge of formally complaining that this was damaging the sub-forum, ..., but glen put paid to that

LL could try to cherry-pick the decent disatisfied posters. I 'd suggest Marix & bckane. I'd invite them myself but, ..., etc.

No matter the reality of ownership etc I still reckon that boards 'belong' to the posters & they have the 'right' to demand 'rights', ..., especially if they're paying, though obviously ultimately 'feet voting' is an answer

OT always had a big contingent of 'dope addled wankers', ..., OTAH & the sub change has meant that this group is now much more prominant, ..., or so it seems to me.

As if any of this matters

Subforum mods don't have the ability to ban anyone on OT, it all has to be sent as a request to smods... so uh, learn what the fuck you're talking about before you take a cheap shot at me chief.

That's what makes it fun. Check out the first page and if nothing interests you wait a few minutes and it's all new. There are some pretty stupid people there but also some of the wittiest I have ever seen.

It's a nice change after being here for a bit. This place, though fun sometimes, is pretty boring.

Because of the mentality that he's running the site out of the kindness of his heart, is constantly taking a loss, and so forth.

I don't think anyone begrudges him the ability to make a buck, but he should be honest about it.. he's never posted the actual numbers though, so there's no way to be 100% sure either way.

In 2002 the site was really active, I have to imagine he was taking a hit then

But as of today with all the subscriptions, I would say he's making more money than he's losing

Exactly. Its like when Bear Grylls got busted for staying in hotels instead of actually being "man vs wild".

And everytime he upgrades the hardware whether it's needed or not it's this big deal that it cost thousands and thousands of dollars. Faz is pulling in at least 4K a month on this site. ($4 a month x 1000 members not including all other ads)

Everything is like he's doing us a favor, no he's not. Most of us are paying him.
