To use a military analogy. People who start board wars are like mercenaries. They run into the town, rape the horses and ride off on the women. Then I have to come through and clean up the mess that's left over.

In other words, they are not fun on my part.

I go over there once in a while. I hate the format, the people are like people everywhere, some are jerks some are not. I think I go there because there are more people from the southwest, or who backpack in the southwest.

thebackpacker.com is home, much as I am afraid to admit it.

Damn! I hate it when we get found out! Just kidding...I really didn't mean that we should start one...only that it's a GOOD thing that there hasn't been one in a while......That's it.....just showing how GOOD we've been......that's all... :)


Seriously, looks like that would not be fair to our underpaid, overworked Webmaster. Sorry, big guy!

Their nitwits are no worse than ours. It’s the format over there that stinks. For instance, if I make a post about horse raping, there could be responses anywhere on the thread. Here, you just read everything since your last post.

Invasion
They key to a board invasion is to not let them know you are coming. For some reason, a ton of people from there lurk here. So they would obviously know by now that a war is coming and they would be prepared. Then as Matt said, they would retaliate and attempt to rape our horses and ride off on our women. If you make it a covert operation and plan it secretly over email or IM, then attack in the middle of the night...they have no idea what happened, just a suspicion(sp). If they don't know who attacked they can't counter attack? Maybe it was those dastardly people from backpackinglight.net? Maybe Oskar was off his meds again and having a relapse?

Did Dub go to private school or something? Haven't you ever participated in a food fight young man? You don't sneak over under cover of darkness and muck things up in anonymity. Where's the fun in that? You yell "Food Fight!" and start slinging. Maybe flip over a table for cover. Everybody knows that.

If memory serves that's exactly how the last one started, too. Violin yelled "Board War" and let the slinging begin.

Those were goooooood times!




(Don't worry matt, that was just for educational purposes. I won't start on, I promise.)

Well Skullcap, if that's what you want, retaliation, then yeah, you just yell and jump in. But if you want to destroy a board you get 10-20 people to sign on when the moderator is gone to bed and make 100's of posts to 100's of threads, lol. Everyone wakes up and is like, WTF? Then you repeat again during lunch.

Dub, the mastermind.

I thought you just up loaded a bunch of pictures on the site, causing it's server to fill up and then the site would crash. You don’t bother with the small insignificant veins and organs. You go straight for the jugular.
