The Sad Cunts with No Life Thread

[Monkeyborg]

Oberleutnant Chumpstein coming here and talking shitzen, doesn't really class as a 'march past' though.

It's more like a lonely, lonely Nuremberg Skypenwankenfest.

Fuck me. Was I really a happy member of that place for over ten years.
Someone please tell me it's got worse and wasn't like that before.

[Macunaima]

It wasn't like that before.

It was always a little U.S. patriotic, "rah, rah, go team!", but there were no holocaust deniers or people screaming about how all Muslims are eeeeeveil (tm). If that shit came up, it got squashed.

What I think has happened is that all that nifty jingoism of the early part of the Aughties has soured into the realization that the U.S. pissed out a hell of a lot of treasure organizing Vietnam II, the sequel. People who were waving flags back then are paranoid and unable to figure out why "their country" let them down. Again. And the economy hit the shitter, so people are looking for scapegoats.

No, it's become worse. It's also a whole lot less useful that it was as more and more of the quality posters depart for greener pastures (or Frothers..... )

Advocating eugenics was OK though. And taking on its advocates would get you banned.

Or was that just me?

Sometimes Obtusetrout cracks me up

Not sure who you are referring to, but maybe you shouldn't be so judgmental. We have all types in this hobby. We could do with a little more tolerance and brotherhood, and less hysteria and name-calling.

Tell it to Angelbarracks

When you consider that was a direct reply to this:-

Do you really want this site to degenerate into a Stormfront style home for deranged 'I was never in the forces, but I'll pretend to be' types?

It becomes clear exactly the sort of people he wants there (don't tell me he didn't know who Stormfront are or bothered to Google them!)

Ya think?

Obtusetrout the ostrich

So Oberführertrouten deftly maneuvers TMP away from wargaming and over to ultra right-wing politics, casual racism and holocaust denial in an effort to avoid increasing competition from other wargames sites, only to find that groups like Stormfront exist, ready and waiting to steal away his last and most loyal hardcore followers!
Looks like he'll have to take TMP in yet another direction... something with no competition, an untapped market that would appeal to the sort of people he approves of, the kind of thing no other site would want to compete with, something that MontyBill actually has an interest in...

Go on Bill, you know you've been working on that special LRPG "addon pack" for it

It could be played via Skype.

Or 'play by blog'.

TMP has always been home to Stormfront types. But they're higher profile now than they've ever been and they're getting off with more. Active opposition would seem to be weakening, mainly as a result of the way Bill moderates the place.

As others have said the amount of useful stuff posted there has lessened over the years and the only real reason for visiting is to watch the crashes.

It was always full of cunts
