Long time since I heard that "season ticket holder" bit, I missed it, I think he even had it in his profile before.. He was formerly known as Shadowfax, right? Yeah I know him and I know most of the guys from this forum, before I started posting I was reading these boards regulary and I know more than you think.
It's not about who I like, don't like, respect and disrespect, it's about you and some others who think just because few years ago you knew everyone and everyone knew you, that this place was oozing intelligence and proper conversations, there were no idiots and trolls, just great, smart guys who loved each other. Guess what, there were always idiots here, from Rainforest Liu to to Badass Devil.
Just because Respaul or Sergio or whoever left doesn't mean he got sick of idiots, if he did then he's an idiot himself for reading another idiot's posts instead of simply overlooking them. Idiots and trolls were always here, just like on every other internet forum. Perhaps the man lost interest and doesn't have the time anymore, maybe he got married and had a child born, maybe he lost the finance to be a season ticket holder anymore and he's ashamed to post now because of it.
Maybe I got it all fucking wrong, but you're acting like you and your gang are all smart and intelligent when you have guys like Burkes who are no better than m_elayyan or Badass Devil. But hey, he's your friend, you know him from day one and he's a good troll to have around.
Also, I think password protecting that NATW thread is about pathetic as it can get. Did it give you your little privacy and rid you of idiots and trolls? Did it bring back intelligent discussions and those great old posters like Altair, Respaul, Sergio, Tom, Ian, Erik...? No, I don't think so, people got bored and left, no matter what they say the reason is that's most likely it. Believe me, when you finish college you'll leave too, when I get back to college and leave this boring ass work, I'll leave too. That's what people do, there's nothing wrong with it.
I don't give a fuck about NATW and the intelligent posters that are there, I always knew you guys were some gang and had fun with each other and that was and is fine. I never wanted to post in that thread because I saw it was a private section on the forum and new guys were hardly welcome. Fine, but thread was nothing special, 70% of the time it was lame ass, stupid jokes made between 10-15 friends, here and there there was an intelligent discussion about anything but we have those on the rest of the forum as well.
This forum still has great posters and always will, that's the bottom line. You speaking of some glory days of Juventuz.com is bullshit and I'll always read Dominic's or sateeh's match reports, yours and vinman's as well, because they always offer something interesting. I'll just skip elayyan's or devil's. I'll hope Jun-hide makes an appearance more often as well because he's IMO the best poster this board has ever had, but I won't kiss his ass when he comes or makes a return, I'll say hi, nice to see you and that's it. I won't say; "hey we miss guys like you, I wish we were all smart and great here, this forum reeks of idiots these days."
But no, you gotta greet and hail your great poster, show everyone how he's your friend and the bestest, biggest Juventus fan in the world and in the process insult half of the forum's current users just because they're not the good old guys.
