Fuck me, There was only one 'Gear, not sure the earth woulda been able to keep spinning on its axis if there were two of him, I would have liked to have repped that post with "Love" "Funny" and "Funny As Fuck"

You'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.

R.IP Joel your missed bud.

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.

Never tried again after that

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: sicknote on November 19, 2025, 06:11:59 PMI regged at ootikof in 2010 after you boys invaded www.trollkingdom.net or some of our lot raided your site, I made a very very dear friend from that exchange of members, He was a bit crazy but I loved Joel to bits and tbqh I miss his counsel a great deal and could have used his ear and perspective on quite a lot over the last 8years..

Always R.IP to the big homie Riotgear/'Gear.

The last few years at least four people I have posted with have passed on. Let's face it, most people on the forums are not spring chickens. I'm 41 and I'm one of the more youthful posters.

And thick as a tree stump.

She is soooooo thin skinned.

I don't have any issues with Lily. She puts up with more than her fair share of abuse, she adds some good content on occasion and she holds her own in a Heated back and forth exchange.

She's an atheist so that gets my respect any day of the week. Anyone who doesn't believe in a bearded dude hiding in the clouds or a red dude in an underground cave is light years ahead of the countless morons who believe in such stupidity.

She starts as much of the bullshit argument there as anyone else then plays the "everyone treats me like a punching bag card"

She also has a habit of saying some pretty shitty takes and mean spited views and when pointed out to her, she goes damage control and starts moonwalking, reframing and gaslighting.

Its annoying that she think people are stupid enough to not see it.

Other than that shes fucking sound as a pound brah 

I haven't seen her play the victim card but I could have missed it.

Not that any of it matters were all adults, we all see and seek different qualities in folks, I mean take lotusbud for example, fundamentally  she's clearly not a mean or horrible but she is not my cup of tea at all and I'm sure that reciprocated, you for instance over their get most of the posters riled with you posting style you don't rile me at all, I find your particular brand of bullshit/trolling is good for a laugh...

I guess it all different courses for different horses

The idiots get offended by my dry sarcasm which only confuses them. The smart ones find it amusing.

Literally the fundamental corner stone of British humour and you use it well sir.
