Yeah, you could say that "fanboys" played no small part in it. Here's the tawdry tale in its entirety.

Wow. Sounds mind-numbingly stupid.

I forgot all about that. And I was a moderator at the time, too. That was when my life started entering crisis mode, I believe.

And now I miss SaferSephiroth.

I thought that "stupid" didn't really go far enough, but I was very much in the minority at the time.

I was MIA when the thread was open. I would have stood up for her. It saddens me that a former moderator was so thoroughly trounced for no good reason other than one member's hurt ego.

I know I'm late to the conversation but I just wanted to put my two cents in. I don't really care about rep other than the comments. There was a time of some disagreements between our own and I turned my rep off but really missed the comments section.


Well said and much more to the point. I am, if nothing else, verbose.


What?! Pshaw! I used the bold feature to highlight the ridiculousness of the statement. We have our own T-shirts and Dice for heaven's sake!


Edited to fit but great points all around, as is the norm for Miraclo.

One thing that has always irritated me about the whole issue is that people bought ro_gan's claims of investigative proficiency when his personal issues which were also aired pretty publicly at the time showed clearly that he must have been the most clueless S.O.B. on the face of the earth.

Didn't he go insane for a while and tried to kill someone... his ex-wife or something?

This is how rumors get started, kids!

He's better now. I had lunch with him and some other people on the Saturday before last (At WWE).

I met Ro-Gan a couple years back. He seemed pretty well-adjusted.

Well, as well-adjusted as ANY of us are/can be.

You were at WWE (meaning Philly)? Huh. Was it Saturday? I missed most of Saturday due to cowboying it up on Friday.

Yeah. I don't hang for the shin-dig anymore because I usually take the train in. Plus I don't drink and I feel weird hanging out in bars.

Wow. This thread exploded overnite. Geez, the things I miss when I do those silly things like work and sleep...

I love lamp.

I have been around for a long time and remember all these posters:

FreakazoidX-I still rep him and leave fond remembrance messages on his "Wall" every now and again.
SaferSephiroth
Lealu
Sandra Wu San

I also remember the rise and fall of CLANS that choked the main page. We wouldn't see the same kind of insanity to the main page again until the mafia craze started.
