Charlie_McSheenie

Well, with hamster, redstorm, black op and nobby gone theres no real motivation to stay at the forums, for me at least they kept the place going and made the whole place generally fun to be in. I can think back and think of all the good times we've had together with all our spam and pissing off mental pete and the mods but now since they're all gone i think the only fond memories i'll get is maybe occasionally getting a pacifist to agree with my theory that country x is right to be ethnically cleansing country y (since the offtopic forum will probably be a major political thread now), but will there be another cereal thread? no. Will mental pete ever return? no. will any more guys like wisdom show up so the forum is plunged into a massive 3 man flame war? no. While the moderators are pretty fair with their rules, except that they have stalinized the whole place, i think that these rules will mean these fond memories will never happen again in some other form. Will the forum ever have a thread involving spam lords fighting intergalatic battles with raw sewage and suicide spamiban, with some hot sarah michelle gellar clones chucked in under the watchful eyes of placebo, sith, hilandor (and whatever mods are left), i doubt it. Even if there was i doubt there'd be many people to talk with in such a thread since those people are all now banned, and i just wouldn't feel happy with a few crazy forum people joining in. All the flashpoint conversations have been done as well, so have all those immensly fun america vs russia vs britain vs france vs germany threads. Many members i enjoyed talking with, the mighty five, sniper, shambler, moleman, pete, L24A, noone, wisdom (aka murda inc), grimreaper...... are gone now, theres still people like nordin, kingbeast, spacealex, avon.... who are a good reason to be on the forum, but with so many of my mates gone, i feel the place will get boring quickly, and so, i can't be arsed staying, watching as the forum gets more and more like the opfn forums. Well anyway, to wrap it up i'd just like to thank: Black op - for being my mighty five compadre and my day of defeat partner, also good friend of course. Hamster - again for being in mighty five, and for being my cs (cheating) compadre Nobby - for being a great guy to talk to about football, and crazy stuff generally, and for being in mighty five and inventing some of the funniest things to grace the cereal thread Redstorm - for being in mighty five, starting the cereal thread, being the co writer of the big USAF piss take comic, and telling me about the wild life a regular dutchman leads  Stealt Eagle, nordin, damage inc - for being great blokes and spamming a lot Erex - for being the coolest OF developer on the forum and for making me that custom wallpaper ages ago Pete for telling loads of stuff i didn't know about all these key issues in the world, and for being a good argument whenever we argued about stuff. And for going mental that was a good time even if it did piss me off back then L24A - for making that trivia thread and being a good argument Murda inc - for being a good competitor in the massive flame war me you and black op had (you fought well even tho against me, black op, nobby and redstorm) And thats all i can think of really at the moment sorry if its overly long its just redstorm said it'd be more dramatic btw - redstorm would like to say theres no hard feelings about him being banned, since he didn't get the oppertunity to say that. and i thought you'd like to know sith - charlie mcsheenie was my other account (i suppose i'll get banned for that now ). I suppose since i'm dishing out all the thanks i'd like to say - i shouldn't have been so graphic and horrible to the mods with that account, its just generally the mood of the time was everyone hates mods so i went along with it. (This goes for redstorm as well btw - except the charlie mcsheenie thing) I'd also like to thank placebo for un banning me, even tho i had to kiss his ass to get un banned  I'd also like to point out that the old forum wasn't the home of sades like many mods would like to have you believe. 2 examples of this - the flame war with murda inc - massive massive flame war that encapsulated a lot of the forums - we have put this behind us and all involved are good friends - the moderators had no input cos they weren't moderating at this time. and pete going mental - we all compromised and both parties were made happy - the spam went (temporarily at least). so i request that the mods get off their high horses and stop slagging off the old forums, since they had no real input into them (even if they did register ages ago). i feel this is fair well, theres lots more thanks i'd like to give but i can't think of much to do now, but if i don't get banned (i probably will since my charlie mcsheenie confession will set the mods off) i'll thank anyone else who has made my time on the forum cool. Anyway, bye everyone

thanks very much alex

Well this is probably my last post on these forums I'm mainly leaving as the mods have become to zealous with there use of power and are banning members left right and centre and any thing tried to be done about it has been marred by the childishness of some of the mods not all the mods act like children the only mod that I have respect for is Sith as sounded the most reasonable one out of the lot. Well my other reason for leaving is that I feel after this incident has been fully settled I would be posting in a hostile environment with little sense of fairness or freedom of speech. Well those are my reasons for leaving these forums. I would like to say bye to Black Op, Ruskie, Redstorm, Nobby, Stealt Eagle, Damage Inc, Nodin, L24A, Pete and many others. For the first 7 of you I would like to say that you had made these forums fun for all with you antics and humour and for L24A and Pete I may have argued with you in the past now and then but I respect your opinions and will be sad not to see your serious post topics any more which I have always found interesting. Well bye to all of you hope to see you one day in a different forum<span id='postcolor'> never thought i'd see the day where you willingly left the forum what with all the good times we've all had. obviously we can still talk on msn and stuff but i'll still miss you on the forums

i could of course be a mod as well if you're offering, maybe just a temporary position which'll allow me to get rid of certain enemies i say unban black op cos sith was being a arse to him and he probably got frustrated at this - and got banned. Now his biggest enemy mods are gone now anyway he probably won't cause anymore trouble or start anymore revolutions.

I just got back into playing opf again and i've completly forgotten some stuff. I'm on that mission where you gotta blow up all those choppers as a spec op, and i've forgotton where the base is located :/ anyone help me?

For more information please consult the OFPN Moderator Fansite, where you can order your very own OFPN-Team T-shirts, posters and underwear. Seriously though....Black Op being banned wasnt 'just' bcuz of that post he made. That simply was the last drop for me. In the past months he has done NOTHING on this forum except spamming threads to death and attacking the moderator team in every possible way at every possible moment. People like him ruin this place for many others that DO want to have a serious discussion here. We're not censoring your right to have fun around here, we simply draw a line where funny posts turn into annoying posts. We've been very lenient towards Black Op (and several other spammers) for a long time, but he simply crossed this line too far this time, thus I have removed his posting abilities for what may be forever. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Otherwise you just abuse your power, and spam the forum with your  '''well, we're such great mates from the opfn forum'' shite, little realising no one gave a fuck about the opfn forums cos you made them so f ing boring - which is exactly what you're doing here, banning most of the regulars (except the ones who kiss your ass obviously) and generally being twats about the whole thing.<span id='postcolor'> Hmmm...which in turn leaves me wondering why the OFPN forums have always been the biggest (and till recently longest running) unofficial forums in the community? Looks like we got ourselves one massive army of ass-kissers out there If you're such a "community veteran" yourself, why havent I ever seen you before? Please do reveal your true face and tell me all about your infinite knowledge of the OFP community and it's forum history.<span id='postcolor'> lol, yeah, when i went to your ''longest running, most spankingly good forums'' 3 new threads opened in a week, i talked to 2 people, kevinblake and placebo, in addition to a few other people from this forum who i knew anyway, and generally it was a boring, shite forum - thats why i consider it crap. Statistics or whatever may say it was the centre of all entertainment and fun in the opf community, but experiance has told me just how fucking lifeless and boring the opfn forums were. you haven't seen me here before cos this is my second account you tit which incidentally i set up when you guys moved in here as a lot of people did, it pointless me telling you when i first registered on this forum cos you only took over it about 6 months afterwards. I would tell you who i am but i think that'll threaten my other account anyway, you've only played an active role on this forum for about... 3 months now, i could tell you the forum history and all the funny things that have happened, all the cool members, all the fun, long drawn out arguments we had before mkoderation, but you wouldn't know what the fuck i'd be on about. n00bie.

What do you suggest?<span id='postcolor'> Well, you couldn't moderate the ofpn forums well enough - that forum was a right fuck up, so you take over this forum and now you totally fuck this one up as well. And like nordin said you act like dickheads, shutting down threads you don't like (usually because you aren't welcome there) and ban people who take offence at you being racist twats. I personally prefered the old forum, it wasn't really a hellhole, the only improvement you have brought to the forum is the poll thing :O and the new forum style is slightly better as well. The old forum had the serious topics and the spam topics, one or two people hated this but all the spammers and closet genius' came to a compromise - you guys can't even do that, you just ban anyone who says you're all twats. Otherwise you just abuse your power, and spam the forum with your '''well, we're such great mates from the opfn forum'' shite, little realising no one gave a fuck about the opfn forums cos you made them so f ing boring - which is exactly what you're doing here, banning most of the regulars (except the ones who kiss your ass obviously) and generally being twats about the whole thing. so i would prefer if you leave. I mean, this'll get me banned no doubt, but hey, i can just register again sometime easily. btw - this is mainly directed at sith, placebo and pretty much every mod except kingbeast who was a nice bloke before he became a mod (i haven't been on the forum recently so i dunno if its changed him)

its not like they run an unprofessional operation down in bos, since they have so much trouble down there people can set up piracy businesses without fear of being busted, so, you can buy music cd's that look and sound like the real thing, even with the books. A ps2 game comes with a dvd box and an immaculately copied cover thing with pictures printed on the cd's. my dad asked the women down there about the black and whiteness and she said the chip is overheating so next time he goes down he's gonna get it replaced, hopefully it'll solve the problem.

Games like silent hill2 and resident evil are unplayable in black and white, but smackdown 3 and legends of wrestling, as well as fifa 2002 are pretty playable if tyou just get used to them (the best games i got from bosnia are in color anyway, such as twisted metal black and pro evolution soccer, which is good ) i think that buying pirate games (and music, and dvd's, and video's, and hardware ) off the bosnians is alright since it just adds to their economy, increasing the amount of tax the government recieve which could go towards paying for a higher standard of living for them poor people besides, pretty much every person in the british army who goes to bosnia does it (at least most of the ones i know) its a very organised system, you can contact a guy in bosnia and ask for a game and he'll bring it back with him on his R&R for example

It wouldn't be profitable to release wave after wave of snazzy, huge requirement games to the public because the market has so many people who can't afford a 2ghz pc with geforce3, so they wait for that hardware to become cheaper so more people can play the game - therefore increasing sales. thats my theory anyway
