That guy is a frickin goof. That is why I aint joining his forum. I am not letting that little faggot do that me.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on Today at 07:52:10 PMYou're right... the world definitely wouldn't have known how to handle more than one Riotgear; it barely knew how to accommodate just the one. LoL

To be clear I don't blame him entirely, or even mostly, for what happened to the OOTIKOF forum. I had handed over the Administrator account to Joel which was highly unpopular with a faction of the KOF membership. As every KOF were and always had been Global Mods they showed their displeasure by tossing most of the threads into the ol' byte bucket. At that point I couldn't be arsed with any of it anymore so even after the dust settled and I re-started the forum with a clean slate it was never the same with only a handful of the previous membership still hanging around.

The deletions and exodus weren't directly Joel's fault and I never held a grudge about that. The rebels or whatever you want to call them chose their own path and the result was completely their doing.

Hell, the thing I now miss most about that forum was customizing its Themes.

That's my jam, as it were.

I don't recall his exact age, only that it shocked me because he was so young and he is indeed missed.

I know he'd have a little smile to know his infamy lived on at least a little somehow... somewhere.

Cheers for the chat Garraty_47   I appreciate it and you sharing some of the history I missed or had long forgotten man.

Quote from: sicknote on Today at 07:02:54 PMLong ass post, but was cathartic to share my fee fees with another who knew him how I did, throat cancer ain't no way to go, what was he 53/54?

R.IP Joel your missed bud.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on Today at 06:32:35 PMJoel was unique and that's indisputable.
Since he was the one who literally created the KOF I couldn't even get all that mad at him for ultimately causing the disintegration of the OOTIKOF forum. As I see it he kinda had the right, if anyone did.

Afterward Joel and I were still good but rarely poasted in the same places anymore, to my knowledge.

I SWEAR TO ALLAH its true. And I'll tell you what, providing I can effect a timely escape, I'm going back. I'm just having a little problem with these zip cuffs. I'm going to lop the head right off that ugly motherfucker. So I'm standing there, just minding my own when I gets this crawly feeling on the back of my neck. Real similar to the feeling you might get after you hit the send button and wing a post off addressed to THE LION. Like something bad is going to happen but you don't know what. Anyways, I start panning around and sure enough here's this fucking Degas giving me the beadies from all the way across the room. So I straightens me spine and has me a stroll right up to the punk and says- "You maddoggin' me motherfucker?".... Nothing. Stone cold silence. Like he was all high and mighty. Now I'm pissed, I say "I'm talking to motherfucker, answer up or I'll go out to the car and get a bat and bash you in your fucking knee". A couple seconds pass and I'm hard looking this boy and he says -

"All works done after the second or 15th century renaissance are shit and Renoir was a punk-ass Monet wannabe who might as well been using crayola's. I bet you even think I'm sculpture. Well you don't know shit you fucking asshole."

Being a huge fan of Renoir's I was now officially steaming pissed. I say "ONE MORE FUCKING WORD AND THIS PLACE COMES DOWN!"

So he looks me right square in the eye and says-

"When I listen to Mendelssohn's Allegretto non troppo I can't decide if I want to puke, piss, or cut my fucking wrists."

I screech "NOT MENDELSSOHN MOTHER- FUCKERRRRRR!" and grab an Incan stone fertility figurine. Four Salvador Dali's and two Mayan death masks immediately met their makers. I raised my bludgeon high and with a mighty howl brought a crushing blow to bear. The recipient of which being a some sort of ancient clay Jew tablet. No big deal, I thought, just Jew bullshit anyway. As I load up for another pass I am unceremoniously slammed to the ground by policemen and cuffed, dragged outside and thrown into a van. After a 45 minute ride blindfolded, I was thrown out of their moving vehicle 200 meters from the entrance of Katzenjammer Properties.

Somebody loan me some snippers and a Vespa so I can go set that fucking smartass Degas straight.

I've got like 200+ PM convo's with big bro at TK, I like to have a little read through them from time to time, He died when I was away from forums, I had started a family and had very little time to piss about on the boards, but every month at the least up would ping an email from "JCSheWill"{or similar} always shooting me some good vibes and checking up that me the missus and the kiddos were well and enjoying the important things that really mattered, fucking hell I can't lie I loved that bloke like a family member, I miss him a heap and out of at least 20+ peeps from forums who I truly considered friends that shuffled of this mortal coil for me his hurt the worst.

I'm sure he will have let you know himself because he wore his heart on his sleeve if he like or disliked someone, but in our pvt communications only every spoke highly of you personally and respected your works on the battlefield.

Long ass post, but was cathartic to share my fee fees with another who knew him how I did, throat cancer ain't no way to go, what was he 53/54?

Interesting as it came up in convo on open forum with the last few weeks and I believe BF even said you were no longer banned, I may have misinterpreted his post though, so don't take it as gospel.

My love language is sarcasm and I love *everyone*.

lulz

lol... speaking of sarcasm it was always hilarious to me to watch Pig try to pull it off only to demonstrate conclusively she lacked both the wit plus self confidence to pull it off correctly as she would always put something in parenthesis to denote she was being sarcastic

I was always like "you dumb fucking pig, if you have to do that you've killed the entire point"

and this is a person who honestly believes she's head and shoulders above the rest of us in terms of IQ

When it's coming from the owner/admin who also likes to play petty little games with his panel then nah, I'm out.

Tout passe, tout lasse, tout casse, et tout se remplace.

no thanks

Quote from: DKG on Today at 05:02:07 PMThat I cannot answer. I have heard of it, but I never saw it.

I hope so, because if true he was a good friend to a very dear pal of mine.

And it means I met garraty a heck of a lot longer ago than I previously had figured.
