I miss the shiva boardFollow

Ok I am a very calm person and frankly I really like these boards and like interacting with the people on these boards. In fact I have made quite a few friends in game this way. However recently every thread or discussion seems to be taken over or started by certain people who seem to have an innate desire to slug it out with each other on issues that have no relevance to this game what so ever. Its getting to the point where I don't even check this board much and I've noticed that new threads by others have dropped dramatically as many people are abandoning these boards for this reason. I don't understand why this group continues to attack each other even though I think some may want out of this cycle or why some desire to keep prodding others. For the love of whatever deity or self-importance you worship could you people go find yourself one thread to bash each other brainless on and stick to it. Your comments aren’t usually that witty and 9/10 times they are only funny to you. I sincerely hope that this group one day grows out of this behavior (God I sound like my father) but until then could you keep it to yourselves.

I've seen this happen before on boards where its a nice community till a small group start going after each other and eventually the board dies because no one is left except them, then they move to where everybody else went and it all starts over again. I would hate to have this happen here as this board has been very useful to me and others.

I agree with you Aga. I just finished reading all of todays lovely threads. I noticed how there are only 2 people causing all this; Grimshiddy and Crayola.

Grimshiddy- A person who is bored, has nothing better to due than write offensive and distrubing posts on a Video Game forum. He is someone that is lacking some much needed attention and knows Crayola will give him some, be it good or bad, I do not think he cares.

Crayola- She is like a Politician, She doesn't care if she is getting bad publicity as long as her name is being mentioned. She replies to everything Grimshiddy writes trying to defend herself and make him go away. She lacks the intellegence to realize that the only way he will go away is if she ignores him and stops adding fuel to his fire.

Barchiel- This guy Humps to many people, he will have a FFXI virus soon if he keeps it up. I hope he at least uses a Wrapper from a Galkan Sausage.

Look, I have nothing to do with this BS. Recenly, the boards were fine, everyone had kissed and made orgy, and then this Grimshiddy guy starts <bumping> old posts that were dead. Titles that you would skip to read the date and just go to the hate, sort of speak.

So I let people know to watch what they reply to when the date was etc, because one person already replied to one that was written in October of last year :/

Anyways, I just wanted to know what Grimshiddy had against me, cause I have NO IDEA who the hell he is and just curious how someone so stupid and so low life, and obviously has no respect for anyone, can operate a freakin' computer to post on here.

Keep rating him down, maybe he'll leave again.

You don't know me at all Lionsfan, and as an old friend I'm disgusted you'd even have the nerve to say stupid **** like this. I don't lack <intelligence> (correct spelling)
No one talked about Grim, no one said anything about Grim, and no one even thought about Grim. He came back on the boards starting **** himself. Read the posts, read the times they started. I will defend myself and my name forever, I don't care how long this **** goes on because of it. But I will not sit back and let people make fun of me and make them think it's ok. THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

Sorry if you don't like it, Sorry if you hide in the corner when conflict arises, you were obviously brought up to run instead of deal with. I'm dealing with.

These threads have nothing to do with anyone expect Grimshiddy and his psychiatrists.

Yeah it is a shame that the drama STILL is going around the way it has. But this is actually very common among forums of any sort whether is video games, paintball, cars or just random forums.

My theory on why this happens is the obvious maturity level of the offensives posters in question. I'm trying to stay away from saying its the "younger" crowd because age really doesn't make too much of a difference at times. My best man in my upcoming wedding is only 21 years old. I'm 28 years old. I met him and have been friends with him since he was 15. The reason why I'm friends with him is the fact that he is VERY mature for his age.

However this is a rare situation though, even though it is possible. The new generation in the world today are growing up with computers, the internet and forums. Its unfortunate for the ones that actually come here for info/advice/fun have to deal with all the high school drama but it doesn't really look like there is no way around it. It sucks.

Some people haven't learn how to deal with things in a mature fashion so hence they feel the need to lash out, defend, or flame others even when its not really needed. Some people need the attention cause thier mommies didn't breast feed them long enough. Some people are just down right asshats. Some are stubborn and feel the need to defend themselves.

I just tend to ignore it and only look/read/post on the good stuff here.

ok, so I spelled Intelligence wrong. Thats doesn't look to good on my part. Anyways Crayola I was not trying to say you are dumb, was just pointing out that you did not know how to handle a situation like this and that was why this troll was coming back. So he bumped a few old posts, well instead of starting a new thread with his name in it, you could have just bumped some good threads to push his down.
I am not trying to get in the middle of this feud, but I also don't hide in a corner when conflict arises (I can't even find the corner, I am stuck in Papa's round room atm).

I only made a thread with his name in it because a BUNCH Of old threads, not even all with my nam eon it (like the whole serket pull stuff) and it would of brought war back to people that didnt read it the first time or something. Which was his intention, to start ****. So my post outside the thread he was bumping was logically more better and stood out so you didnt "fall" for the trap
