Phunkeydude, I don't understand why you have to come here and complain about the atmosphere over there. Pirate is Pirate and that is just how it is. I came onto your forum, but did I come talking trash about the way you guys were running stuff? No, I simply came in to say hi, kept my cool, and read a little bit.
Coming over here and talking **** about another board and the way you got treated is meaningless. Pirate is very open, but very closed at the same time. A lot goes, but there is some stuff that isn't tolerated like going to a Tech section on the board and asking for votes when I've already involved the whole board. Chrome tow hooks don't go well over there either.
So what if I offered a little voting incentive? And how do you know there was any truth to that statement I made? So I put up pictures of some random girls? Does that necessarily mean that I had anything to do with them? No. A little attention grabber is needed on a place with 100,000+ members and 500,000+ threads, hundreds which are archived daily to make room for more.
I did my best to even the playing field, I spread it to as many people as I could, as quickly as I could, but ya'll got the better of us. That's fine, I'm not sore about that. What I am sore about is that you had to come over here talking trash about another board and crying and moaning about how you got treated at a place that is unanimously considered rough, rowdy, uncouth, and by far the most hardcore technical forum on the Internet.
Please, take you chrome tow hooks and leave. You aren't making any friends here this way, and I'm pretty sure of myself when I say this whole board stands behind me.
