Rip the Bring. Keep it sacred gentlemen. (and Jen)

Sensiblenick · Oct 29, 2005, 07:48 AM

Rip the Bring was a phrase born unto slopers. Immaculately concieved by one person alone, It is a burning torch carried by the slopers who KNOW what it means, and is a Phrase that taunts those who don't. Brothers of Bring: the origin of the phrase MUST be kept sacred, and the worshipers of bring go underground, and hide within the Slope Forum.

The removal of our "Here Goes Nothing" thread is a total shame and loss to the slope-group, and an insult to the memory DevilsCries and M'sBF's Cam. Putting a "Rip The Bring" group up is all well and Good... and I see that it's meant to be a nice gesture (and for that we thank you), but it won't replace that which was needlessly taken from us.

I'd welcome the original Off-Topic thread back in the slope area: it's where it started, it's what we enjoyed, and it's what we want.

I agree, its best that way.

THis is still cool though, and it doesn't piss anyone off.

Some threads did tarnish the RTB and detract from the post.

i guess you could say he took one 4 the team by "trolling" a couple of threads to death to get our own club

I go away for the weekend and look what's happened during my absence!!!

Brethren of Brick* - the great legacy of DC and MBFC has been cruelly and tragically snatched away from us.

I haven't bothered to go look for it as yet but I am guessing it has something to do with the incessant number posting. Justin, Keith, Nick (not the Sensible variety!), Alex - I'm holding you 4 juvenile delinquents (mainly) responsible for this disastrous turn of events!

Oh well. Another day, another thread. And now...another forum.

Anton-dude, it is all mike k's fault. And the people who claimed there was a lot of "clutter"...but how is 1 thread that is always at the top clutter? I guess they were mad because their post/thead was never "at the top"

AntonL · Oct 30, 2005, 06:40 PM

Yeah, but if there hadn't been incessant number posting then they probably would have continued to turn a blind eye for who knows how long. Might have got that thread up to 10K and beyond with 'legit' Brick* discussion!

BTW, Mike K is just the site admin; not a mod, AFAIK. Jim is the main man - the owner of RCG World. In his posts where he locked off a few threads he claimed that a bunch of people had been complaining about "obnoxious behaviour". I'm not sure what this refers to exactly - just the counting or something more? To me it seems a bit odd that many people would complain about the RTB thread alone, given that the type of person who complains about such things is unlikely to be keeping up with that thread.

I'm guessign they ahven't liked the slope forum in general,a nd thought there was too much OT discussion. HGN was simply singled out.

hey... Leave me out of it!!! I posted ONE post with a number in it, and then realised that the thread was gaining 100+ pointless posts in a day!!

It died becuase it lost reason and humour, and just became a countdown-fest.

AntonL · Oct 31, 2005, 04:28 AM

Don't worry, Nick, you do not stand among the accused (now tried and convicted, in some cases). "Nick" <> "SensibleNick", at least in this case.

Furthermore, I would never refer to you as a juvenile, given your advanced years. Now, delinquency, OTOH...

Sensiblenick · Oct 31, 2005, 05:25 AM

oh. jolly good then.

I say... it's a fine morning isn't it?

AntonL · Oct 31, 2005, 05:33 AM

Ah, yes, indeed it is. If only all my mornings were this fine (it's 10:32pm and I have a glass of Grolsch lager in hand).
