Countdown to Owen's return - REDUX

[Bruceswar]

I think it would be sad if he came back... If a friggin clicky explorer type game site banned me for 6 months, I think I would probably have to say, "frick you losers" and move on... But thats just me.

It was a forum ban not site ban...

[pimpdave]

At first I thought owenshooter overreacting to everything he could possibly drum up was just part of his schtick.

But as time went on, I became more and more convinced that it's just who he is. I hope when he comes back he learns how to let things go, and give the benefit of the doubt. Or at least give that benefit of the doubt to those people he should know by now are not racists in any way, shape, or form.

No one's perfect though, and I can understand why he gets upset (yeah, that's right idiots, white people can be victims of racism too).

Time flies when your havin' fun, eh!

Depends on your definition of fun.....if by "your havin' fun" you mean "nobody reads the forums anymore," then yes i agree with your statement....the mods should be so very proud of the current state of things!

There are some old posters I miss (including owen) but I also think there are some great new posters who have, to a large extent, filled the gap. There was certainly a period (about 6 months ago) when it seemed Andy had removed most of the active GD posters in one way or another and GD was dead, but new people have emerged, have bedded in, and are now writing good stuff. I certainly read GD.

I would also add that GD is certainly not 'over-modded'. A lot of threads go off in quite wonderful directions and all seems to be good. I suspect this is due to the lack of any real angst in the threads...compared to a year ago. Personally I am quite happy to have a slightly 'Gd-lite' time if, because of the general good humour of the place, there is little need for active, destructive, moderation.

However, I am looking forward to the return of our great leader, the all-knowing presence that is the owenshooter. I've been practicing prostrating myself (in an online fashion) and am also looking forward to the inevitable "Why aren't you wearing a BpB sig.?" conversation!!!

Ha!

Cant say that I did but I can now call you an old man.

Actually I did not see them in their hay-day. Caught them in a night club in the early 80's. Saw Zep 6 times in the 70's, I guess you can say that I sacrificed a few brain cells back then. lol.

I was in the service right out of HS when Bonahm died. God I worshiped them. I had this born again christian room mate who informed me Bonahm had died from his vomit. LOL Thank You was the song I considered "our song" with my first love...these days I cant even get her to friend me on face book..the wench!

my best concerts where while stationed in the UK. Alice Cooper, queen, Heart, Joan Jett, iron maiden...London was great.

[JoshyBoy]

I can't wait for him to come back. Wonder if he will come back to us in the same reformed spirit that GENERAL STONEHAM did.

sure do wish people would stop trolling this thread. this is not off topics about music, there are plenty of threads for that. this is about the countdown to owen's return. funny how trolling and going off topic is not being enforced in this thread, but if owen were to do it, he'd be on another made up 6 month ban. racist!!!

[AndyDufresne]

Darn Right jbrettlip! Power to the people!

Do remain on topic, though.

[Timminz]

I can't wait for the return of the weekly PMs, begging me to join whatever that clan he's in is called.

[nagerous]

Exciting times for the forum.

[Blitzaholic]

he can receive pm's or do you have to reach him on skype?

[squishyg]

no need for skype, he can read your mind before you even think your thoughts.

[jbrettlip]

PM me since I am his multi.

Personally I'm rather disappointed.
We've been having so much fun with all those threads about the dice - you can never say enough about dice in my opinion.
And then there's the great threads where we quote what we say in game chat.
Here's one of mine:
2010-04-08 21:42:40 - sam02 [team]: roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa definitely we cant win this one with those dice
2010-04-08 21:42:54 - laughingcavalier [team]: hooray i killed 1! he only threw two 5s & two 6s
2010-04-08 21:43:11 - sam02 [team]: lol
Great eh? There's more where that came from. You only have to ask.
And I love it when I log on and I don't have to scroll right down to the bottom of the forum to find all those really interesting threads about who has got 7 more points and that makes them number 28th on the list. So many great lists too!
I'm sure this Owen character is a jolly nice chap, but won't he just spoil the fun we are all having?

[Snorri1234]

I wonder if he is gonna call me a racist.

[natty dread]

I wonder if he'll buy me ice cream.
