OOT sucks.

[daryn]

i knew it was going downhill, but it is officially crap now.


reasons:


1) this whole thing about "Ootia". how gay is this? it's OOT. Other other topics.

2) hottest chick threads. the problem with these is, a good poster like el diablo will actually make a post about a hot chick that is actually interesting for some reason, and then a ton of retards will try to mimic him and start posting all kinds of pics of chicks. ugh.

3) TSC 10k post. who cares! i mean.. maybe 1 post about it would be alright, but people are treating it like it's the second coming of Jesus. take it easy guys.

4) gay polls. you know who you are. posting the most meaningless polls that nobody cares about. some are good, most are bad. if you have to ask, do yourself a favor and refrain from posting. actually, do one better and kill yourself.

5) every single Ms. OOT post. in fact, every single post by that retard non_comformist, who recently changed his name to an even dumber one. amazing. what are you, 18 years old? and you have kids too??? at least one, and i hope no more. go get a vasectomy to go along with the labotomy you must have gotten. P.S. your webpage eats ass


i'm sure there are more things, and maybe i will think of some more when i have a few more drinks. feels good to cut loose.

[Piz0wn0reD!!!!!!]

damn who put yogurt in your trousers?

[ThaSaltCracka]

I missed you Daryn.

[daryn]

make all the retards leave and i will come back. btw note that while i included TSC's 10k post in my gripes, i actually like TSC, just don't like the retards swinging from his balls.

[Piz0wn0reD!!!!!!]

you and buster should go out for drinks. Wait, he cant legally drink.

[ThaSaltCracka]

no one is swingin on my balls. I think nearly everyone is amused I have 10k post and are just have a little fun with it. Don't worry Daryn, it will be gone by monday and the Ms. OOT is almost finished. Also, you can always start a thread about a topic you like if you want.

[Popinjay]

Either you are on dial-up or secretly gay to not like hot chick pics.

i knew this comment would come.

it's just that there's no reason to just post pics of all the women you losers jack off to on a regular basis. go to a porno forum if you want. i'm just saying, it used to be like, el diablo would post and say, "whoa, what's up with that chick from xxxxxx", and that would be a new and interesting topic for people who watch the particular show, and others. but now it's just "post a hot chick".

oh well, at least it's not as lame as "post your desktop".

It's ok Daryn the OOT isn't for everyone and you everyright to feel how you do towards me, I'm sorry to say I haven't given you as much thought. But I willing to work on it and have come up with the following a gesture of kindness.

As usual, daryn is correct. If one has any doubt, see Zeno's response, as Le Misanthrope is always right.

[AngryCola]

I agree that way too many threads were started about the 10k posts. But still, I think you should lighten up a little about that particular gripe.

As for the rest, you're not too far off base.

Still, I feel it's populated by a better crowd than the rest of the forums.

Yeah, TSC, how much did I say I'd give you? A ten-spot? You should start a thread called "$10 for 10k!!!" and I will tell everyone to join in.

[dr. klopek]

Yeah, totally agree that all this ootia business has got to go.

[wacki]

I've seen a lot of really good forums go down the shitter. One way to limit the mess is to have a retard tax. $10 for 5 year or even a lifetime membership. Some token amount that is just large enough to keep the retards out or the new alias of the month posters from showing up.

A new 2+2 or 2+2 premium with a retard tax would solve this. It will also drastically increase the quality of all of the other forums. Thoughts anyone?

[AngryCola]

The last time someone suggest what you are proposing, they nearly got lynched.

Basically, it was decided that your idea is not in the best interests of 2+2 Publishing.

symptoms include:

* showing severe bitch behavior when subjected to change

* thinking people care about how long you've been doing something, when in reality no one gives a sh<font color="orange"></font><font color="black">it</font>

cures have been known to include growing up and getting a grip on reality

[SuitedSixes]

If only there was some function, like a title maybe, for each thread so you wouldn't be tricked into reading a "Post a Hot Chick" thread when you're really looking for a "swing by TSC's nuts" thread. Maybe in the future technology will spawn such an advancement.

I suggested this a while back in the Zoo, I would pay a monthly or yearly membership. I vote yes for the retard tax. Although this will never happen, the forum admins make more for advertising and increasing memberships than if they would by charging us. So, were stuck with the retards.

[ThaSaltCracka]

dude, there is nothing wrong with OOT and its content, now if you are referring to the other forums, well, what do you want us to do about it?

everything changed on here once the WPT forum was created.

Also, Daryn needs to quite complaining. Like any of us want to read your posts about possibly getting a job. I think he wants all of us to hold his hand as he enters the real world.

[The once and future king]

The only thing that needs to be changed about this forum is its name.

It should be called the talking about irrelevant bollox and shite forum.

The shear quality of the irrlelvance of this forum is why I love it so much.

For fu...cks sake Daryn, if you have questions about your life etc, ask one of your "real" friends in the real world, dont burden us with the minutae of your life unless it is in someway amusing.

I for one am not fecking intrested unless the question is framed in a manner designed to solicit amusement.

This forum is for light relief not serious issues.

[TimTimSalabim]

Daryn,

Your sh*t stinks just as much as everybody else's. Stop acting like it doesn't. Go back to sucking diablo's d*ck and leave us alone.

I think there must be something deeply wrong if one comes to the other topics forum of a poker book publisher to resolve serious issues in ones life.

However this said I dont mind people asking serious questions as long as they are prepared for non serious replies.

I wasn't saying that we should have a retard tax on 2+2. I said that they should keep this site as is, and then open up another site with a retard tax. The admins make their money on advertising, and people have the option of going to a site with a retard tax. I never said yearly membership. Just a one time $10 retard tax (on the new forum only!) should be enough to keep out the retards from the premium site. This forum wouldn't change at all, and it would be very easy for conjelco to set up.

[dr. klopek]

Why not have a disussion about some serious [censored]? I have enjoyed many of the threads in which something important was discussed. To me, this forum is like just hanging out, sometimes you have a discussion of ideas, sometimes you make fun of someone, sometimes you try to think of the best video game ever, and sometimes you look at hot chicks. What's the problem? I dont' mind most threads, because you kick around some ideas, you might even learn something.

Am I the only one who doesn't have to read all the threads? I mean, come on....MS OOT is marked pretty [censored] clearly.

Daryn's right, OOT has gone down the tubes. It used to be a mix of the serious and the ridiculous. Most of OOT was sports. Now we have people making threads titled "F,u.ckin' Chuch Norris" with absolutely no content but "just wanted to say that". WTF?!? OOT is quickly becoming too ridiculous. I hope conjelco clones 2+2 but makes the cloned site have a retard tax.

Please note: A retard tax does not mean the website is financed by the retard tax. It's just enough to keep retards out.

[Zoltri]

This 'high &amp; mighty' attitude is tiresome.
You and your buddy Daryn are not any better than anyone else in OOT...so check the attitude at the OOT door when entering.

I have a tip for you as well. When you read a heading to a post, you should be able to figure out the content. If you feel its too much 'Springer' info for you....dont open it.

All the people who wouldn't be ever caught dead in an internet forum where all the dorks spend their days will post their dork-material here.

Why? Because they convince themselves (and their acquaintances - the people whose opinions really matter) that they're really on this forum to improve their poker skills. That way, they won't really be dorks.

I'd bet the average winrate of all posters with more than 95% of their posts in OOT is a full 1 BB/100 less than the rest of the 2+2 population.

Either way, the fact that you used one tournament result of one player as a significant sample size regarding overall skill comparison suggests I may be even underestimating the true difference.

Regardless, it's King of the Zoo. Between "Pacific Poker stole my money!" and "Can Party Poker 4th and 5th street cards be predicted?" the only reasonable conclusion is that the Zoo is OOT-lite.

I'm sorry that the old school OOTers feel like their small 'click' is fading away, but as poker and 2+2 forums become more popular the influx of stupid people is inevitable.

That's neither here nor there - the important thing is there isn't much reason to particularly care either way. I was merely offering a plausible explanation as to why OOT is full of tripe and OOTPolls and Ms. OOT and arguments about whose dick is bigger.

Interesting though, the Politics forum - save a few exceptions I'm not sure I am credible enough to list here - has mostly intelligent things to say.

Ultimately, I post on 2+2 to get better at poker. Cause I like poker a lot more than discussing 90% of the shit here (Yet I continue to read the forum - There are nuggets of wisdom here, you know!)
