I wonder...

Why is there a Descentbb.net and a Descentbb.com?

Basically it's a needless duplication. A lot of people posting here also post there.

I say .com should go down or point here instead. ;P

Why is there a troll site?

The .com is where you can swear and stuff, have a signature, and be more free to say what you want. The .net is more kid friendly.

.com is where a group of people from .net took their ball and went home.

Folks, folks...

Let's NOT start up a war again here.

For those who don't know, suffice it to say that there were some big differences of opinion about how the DBB should be run. Thus the two boards.

If you're curious about the reasons, go do some searching. But please, don't dredge it up in here.

lol! SOooo true.

TB, in brief, a few years back there as a disagreement (let's just leave it at that)over content on this site. Those who wanted to post (what I will coin to be tactful as) "less family friendly" choose to post on .com (more or less) and those who do not, post here (more or less).

This is the really brief-whiout-it-getting-ugly explanation. :)

I think the threads are still here somewhere. If you're interested, look for Koolbear's posts about ..what..3 years ago?

But I agree with Foil. Let's not start ranting. it's not productive.

Late 2005, I believe.

Again, let's not dredge it up. If you're curious, you can go look up those threads.

I LOL'ed when I read this thread. Brilliant opening post, and a great response by flip!

I LOL'ed even harder when I read Bettina whining and Foil taking the whole thing seriously.

Was ThunderBunny not serious? (I took it that way, as it didn't seem like TB-style humor.)

Yep, I was serious. I had no idea- and yes, I would prefer a site where every 2nd word isn't a swear word or sexual joke.

So .com can stay where it is with the sewer-mouth hippies. :P

Hello non-issue!

Why don't you just ignore it? Personally I like to type what I want without worrying about endless fountains of guilt from people I don't even know and will never meet. "Save the children!" why don't you raise your children yourselves and stop guilting the rest of the human race because someone cursed?

Thunderbucket don't you have something to do like blame Islam for everything and Barack Obama for your tiny genitals?

Don't try to make something out of nothing. I wasn't whining. I like both forums equally but facts are facts. Neither .net nor .com is a kid friendly site.

You clowns have a heightened sense of self importance... I type for myself not for my videogame clan when in mid-life. Who cares what you think? No one.

Nah, .net VS .com would just be beating a dead horse and I don't think anyone wants to be around the smell or the maggots today.

Its fine that there are both. I don't visit .com much, because usually when I am posting I am in locations where I don't want to risk boobies on the screen or what not.

But back when I was a part of the \"descent community,\" those were the guys I enjoyed playing with most.

It is what it is, post where you want to post.

Yeah I got no problems with those guys. I mean, I've cussed like a sailor, watched porn and did more drugs than the law allows, so I don't or even want to judge anybody else for doing the same things. I've outgrown all those things and most people will too in time.
My only gripe against them is that the sentiment is not reciprocated there. They definitely don't seem to have as much tolerance for a opposing view as they expect others to.

Why don't you try blaming me instead of blaming them? I met some of those guys at a lan 5 years ago but I don't have any real contact with them. Good people. I think you suffer from 'Hive minds'! I don't type for those people, you clowns try to glom together like a 'free independent thinker would', right? =)

This is silly. You don't play anyways you just spend your time typing about what great Americans you are. You don't do anything.

*golf clap*

Raising a decent family of 8 isn't doing anything?

Playing Descent is doing nothing. It's technically a waste of time. Priorities dude.

It IS a waste of time, but it sure is fun. And why are people supposed to care about your family? You did it... ain't our problem. G U I L T B O M B, I'm perty sure you were begging the internet for money a few years back (maybe even the Dbb.com?)... so shadup.

C'mon you garsh darn great American, stop saddling everyone with your orgasms, pull yourself up by your bootstraps, be consistent.

I didn't make this thread. Some garsh darn videogame guy did. BTW I have nothing to do with Pun and his website, in fact I'm perty sure he thinks I'm a prick. LOL. He was cool though.

We will all live...
