Has anyone tried to lure Bill back? I messaged him on MSN but he just said sorry. I don't know why he still posts on NeoGaf, they are much more negative on Nintendo over there.

Yeah, but it's expected at NeoGaf, so at least you know what you're getting into.

Society has a double standard. That's totally sexist.

So, as soon as Bill leaves, we have a bunch of the classic posters start posting again. Mouse_clicker, PIAC, Termin8Anakin, myself. It looks like Bill was the one holding these forums back. Frankly, I think this is great. It's a golden age for the forums. One that will never end.

It just shows how significant Bill was.

KDR, Pro, Bill... some users have just been active so long and so often that they define the forums. Bill was one of those, and it's sad to see him go.

Yes, I realize that. It was a joke. Although it would be great if people stuck around even if it is just to hang out out in the funhouse and joke around. That's mostly what I do. And mafia games also. You should check one out. [/end shameless plug]

That's why I made the joke about a golden age for the forum. While I think it would be nice if these longtime posters stuck around, I know they probably won't. Which is a shame since it is great to know that they are still out there and still care a bit to come back and post like this.

And I agree with RAB that Bill will be back. Sometimes I think we all need a break from the forums and I think that's all Bill needs right now. There was a spell where I was hardly around and you just need that break to get some more free time. These forums can be great but they are also a big time sink as well. When he finds time, I'm sure he'll be back also.

I blame Khush for Bill's leaving. Bill stopped playing Mafia and we all know Mafia is the NWR glue that sticks forever.

If Khush wasn't so good at Mafia Bill might still play...and then he couldn't leave because he would be stuck in the proverbial Gorilla Glue that is NWR mafia.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #284 on:** February 01, 2009, 04:44:43 PM »

I'll never play Mafia.

So much for glue.

decoyman · « **Reply #285 on:** February 02, 2009, 05:06:27 PM »

Maybe Bill will come back if we let him change his name to Akai or whatever it was...

Somebody tell him!

the cubed canuck was chronically negative before it was cool

take that ian your act was old even when it was new

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #287 on:** February 02, 2009, 06:37:39 PM »

Aren't they both Canadican?

Lady Une · « **Reply #288 on:** February 02, 2009, 06:40:13 PM »

Goodbye Bill. You brought a lot of laughter to these forums.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #289 on:** February 02, 2009, 07:40:06 PM »

Didn't the cubed canuck get banned?

The puzzle pieces are beginning to fit together.

vudu · « **Reply #290 on:** February 02, 2009, 08:36:43 PM »

Hard to say. It looks like Deg might have banned him, but I can't say for certain.

ugh five years ago me is annoying

There were always trolls here, even way before cubed canuck. They all came and went, it just happens that Rick or Hrusecky banned people long before they had enough time to build up anything even approaching a resume of trolling so there isn't as many names for people.

I remember when everyone liked Ian. Seven years ago he was probably the most prominent poster, or at least a tied for one of the most, along with SPE and a few others. What the heck happened? Staying on this forum make him go crazy (like Gray Ninja)?

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #293 on:** February 03, 2009, 12:31:21 AM »

So many people here that I don't recognize.

I recognize SOME names, from when i used to read old threads because this place was a ghost town. Do what i do, grab some popcorn and sit by the fireplace and enjoy these elders and their stories.

decoyman · « **Reply #295 on:** February 03, 2009, 12:15:35 PM »

I recognize all these guys.

I was a lurker for a loooooooooong time before I actually registered and started posting.

There was one guy with a homer simpson avatar (not ferny) who used to post a lot when I first started lurking... don't remember his name, but I remember that I always seemed to like his posts.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #296 on:** February 03, 2009, 12:40:08 PM »

I recognize some of the names...but I am a thread browser, I don't read every post...I find specific posters I like to read (Both Ian Sane and Bill are/were posters I liked to read) and then I try to read all the interesting and intelligent posts on the boards.

I think I just used to have opinions that were popular and don't so much anymore. The DS was probably the turning point as I really thought it had a lousy launch and was a real dud at first and that was not a universally held opinion. I guess people who just dropped 150 bucks don't like hearing someone point out what a poor purchase they just made. I didn't go crazy. Nintendo just changed and my opinion of that is not the majority opinion.
