isired Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 If you can, answer this honestly: Did the thought of all hell breaking loose over at JI--and the jumping ship of 80 posters simultaneously--ever strike you as hugely coincidental? Did you ever think it was a goof?it's not like there were 80 separate events - or even 2... that would constitute a coincidence that you might question. what you're saying is like saying "and 220 people died in that plane crash - now that's some coincidence, 220 people at once, huh? too much of a coincidence for me. i think it's a conspiracy!"

isired Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Agreed. I am the world's biggest skeptic. I always think I am getting ripped off. But if this is a prank on me I welcome it. Let's bring 80 new posters over and give them prolonged exposure to our free content, vbookie, upgraded vbulletin features, arcade, etc. I like the chances of at least some of the 80 sticking around. seems to be working well enough for steve jobs and those fancy dual-platform macs...

Yes. And? Study history, my good man. Or, you are doomed to repeat Max' eternal blunder. The look on his face when Sooth springs the final trap--to be executed in the coming days, IMO--will be worth the price of admission. Poor sap, Max, I'm sure he meant well.

Unless there's a story behind it, then it has entertainment value. Pompous as in posting numerous replies to said "introductory thread" in which one pontificates pointlessly and shares his stilted--somewhat quixotic--view of the world, or a fellow poster, who has no chance to defend himself?

jetstream23 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 There was no PM campaign. One post set the wheels in motion. Partially true.

If every JI poster left abruptly tomorrow, how does that somehow hurt Max? It's not like he'd be losing a bunch of $55 membership fees or anything. Why would Sooth send an army of posters to another site that can't even be mentioned on JI? Why take a chance on some of the posters actually liking JN and posting here on a regular basis? It seems that there would be more potential downside than benefit for Sooth. Is Ashton Kutcher going to come running around the corner yelling "you've been punked!!!" It seems like it would be going to an awful lot of trouble for something that would have minimal impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Take this with a grain of salt as I was neither a long time moderator nor a valued poster at JI, but I jumped ship because Ham banned me for no reason and nobody had a problem with it so I peaced. Sadly your story is all to familiar. Sounds like Ham is some kind of a lunatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Ashton Kutcher going to come running around the corner yelling "you've been punked!!!" It seems like it would be going to an awful lot of trouble for something that would have minimal impact. You didn't get the memo? The plan was for all of us to come here in one large army, infest the board with our "no homo," "r belong to me," and "mancrust" references. This in turn would confuse and piss off the current inhabitants of JN who would then get so frustrated they would leave. Once we run the regulars out to someplace else, we are then to report back to JI at once thus leaving JN with no active members. How did you not get the memo?
