Would you say OT has developed a deep culture?

I think the _basics need their own union, but the membership keeps dwindling. :(Travo_basic

Random question... I know the whole Basic suffix came from people who registered for a free account 'n all.
But does this mean somewhere there are a few _Premium members?

[QUOTE="ExoticAnimal"]Nah, never cared for those two. I don't really participate in the Unions at all.Baconbits2004

In that case I was talking about someone else then.

The_Druggie and Mailer, probably.

You mean the all caps username clique?

You mean the all caps username clique?

THE_DRUGGIE

Perhaps that's what I'm confusing it with.

My memory's a little hazy, I was thinking someone said something about you two taking a trip to the mushroom kingdom together or something?

I don't think they were given a name on the end since they were paid accounts. Just us lowly users who refused to pay.Travo_basic

[QUOTE="BPoole96"]

Not entirely. YOu just have to hate mainstream music, love metal music, and be atheist and you'll fit right in here

CaptainAhab13

Yeah I don't really agree with that statement, except for the atheist part. Not that I like mainstream music, but there are plenty of people on here that do. And to be honest, most of it is mainstream metal...

[QUOTE="Baconbits2004"]

[QUOTE="Allicrombie"] a 2 person clique? ExoticAnimal

Yeah, president and vice president. =[

I wonder if those 2 will get unbanned :o

Hmmm, true. I agree. I don't get the "touch her shoulder" reference though. :?CaptainAhab13

I agree, OT is pretty snobbish, narrow minded and butthurt 24/7.

I wonder if those 2 will get unbanned :oColin1192

I think we have a subculture, in a loose sense. People have already done a good job of pointing out the little things that differentiate OT from other boards and forums.Elraptor

[QUOTE="MAILER_DAEMON"]I'd say OT's culture over the last 2-3 years has been overall pathetic despite some good people here and there. Nothing original, just memes taken from the cesspool, people getting angry over something pointless, and people feeling that the world revolves around them. In other words, it's gone from being a neat but flawed place to being like most other spots on the web.rawsavon

I agree 100%.
I think that causes the vast majority of issues on here. If a person teases their brother, friend, etc and gets no reaction or they laugh with them, they will usually stop.
It is when people blow something small out of proportion, that it continues/escalates

If I may ask you a question though:
Would you not say you are guilty of that as well (getting upset over some small things that have happened here...given your reposes here and on MSN)

i like to imagine OT as a room full of curly haired hipsters

I will. I just want to make sure is all

...and just an fyi, I have no interest in talking about this over a pm (in case that crossed your mind. I tried to talk to you before outside of the main pages once before.)

I'd say that OT has more of a broad culture than a deep onexaos

I guess I will have to be more clear/less vague.
-You took some glamor shot type ninja pics of you with a sword
-people got a hold of them and posted them here in a meme fashion
-you blew up

If you had reacted differently (laughed about it and blew them off) instead of flipping out, it would have stopped
-this is similar to what you posted about 'not getting angry over pointless stuff'

But you did not follow your own advice
-this is what I questioned you on ITT
-as a result, people know it bothers you and seek to continue for that very reason...you made a situation (that was not your fault, unless you want to call those pics a crime >_>) even worse

In regards to MSN,
I was talking to sunnsha on MSN shortly after these events
She mentioned talking to you at the same time
I asked to speak to you (as you had blown up at me in another thread here on GS about this whole ordeal when I told you something similar about not overreacting).
You refused to speak to me outside the walls/protection of GS

[QUOTE="MAILER_DAEMON"]I don't recall ever talking to you over MSN, since I don't give that out to people like I do my AIM, so I can only take this as a threat. What I don't understand is why you're suddenly confronting me about something that I don't know exists.

This is more juicy than a rare steak!

I felt sorry for him/took pity on him. It was obvious he did not know how to handle the situation/had not been exposed to that growing up AND that those pics bothered him a great deal.

...i tried to reason with him.
But he blew up and used his mod powers against me. So lesson learned on my end

Yeah....seemed obvious who it was toward.:PLJS9502_basic

I just wanted to make sure.

Sometimes people skim through, and overlook things that aren't directly related to them. :{
