Collipso

hello. i’m collipso. i registered less than one year ago, when my life was the shittiest its ever been and Star Wars helped me cope with everything. this place ended up helping A LOT too, so first and foremost, thank you all.

somehow though, like many mentioned, the forum has been decreasing in enjoyment constantly (for me) ever since shortly after the TLJ debates died out, which was around march or april.

i really enjoyed off-topic at first. man it was funny as heck, and the regulars here are just really nice people, all of them. at least all i can think of right now.

but… as of right now, i feel desolated. absolutely desolated. an extremely authoritarian action has been taken by the far right claims-to-be-centrist asshole Jay.

honestly Jay, when i first found out that you weren’t exactly appreciated here, i decided to defend you. our interactions had been fun and i quite liked you. i even understood it when you banned me, even though of course the “next guy who posts something gets banned” made no sense and treated us all like children.

but… you became what everyone said you were. an asshole. an idiot. a dick. you started to get in fights where you were obviously wrong but because of how arrogant you are it you completely blind to everyone else’s point of view and to everything that was ACTUALLY going on. i see you’ve brainwashed oojason for example, who claims to deal with facts while only spilling lies, your lies, only your side of the story. half truths are lies too, man.

you refuse to listen to others. you only care about what you think and yourself. you’re no leader. you’re no administrator. you’re nothing more than a man baby who thinks he’s opressed and gets it out on us. fucking pathetic. you’re fucking pathetic sometimes. most times.

and now you banned politics. banned. politics. that was incredibly childish of you. politics is something that’s at the core of every human being. everything is politics. art is political. Star Wars is political. you don’t just get to ban it. this is censorship and a dictatorship. and i won’t take it up the ass. never.

i ask you to reconsider it. unban politics. unlock the threads. grow the fuck up. people disagreed with you, got into heated arguments. that fucking happens, man. fucking deal. but no. dahmage said cool. so he’s an ass. therefore fuck the entire subject of politics.

it just makes no sense and is extremely childish.

you couldn’t follow your own rules man. you attacked others personally and failed to admit it, to apologize. to everyone. that caused the shitstorm we’re seeing, because you’re an asshole, but an asshole with power. those are the worst types of assholes.

so congratulations jay. you didn’t nuke off-topic, but you might as well have. most regular members are gone or leaving. you managed to take away all the fun in this place. all of it. so fuck you. fuck, you.

after months and months of going after frink and some other regular members, you finally did it. you’ve ruined this place to the community that built it. you’ve banned the guy with 80k posts. you’re making decades old members leave.

so i ask you to reconsider, and write an open letter apologizing for everything and unbanning frink and politics. it’s the honorable thing for you to do. it’s actually the only honorable thing for you to do. it’d make me reconsider.

with this, i can say i am leaving the forum. i’ll finish like i started, by thanking you guys. i’ve made some really good friends, such as darthrush, ChainsawAsh (whom i almost met, damn you circumstances!) possessed, frink, dahmage, dom, warb, coffee, and duracell. i never got to tell you before duracell but you might be one of the funniest people around. you, dahmage, frink… i’m going to miss you guys.

so yeah. you’ll see it eventually, Jay. you’re being an idiot, a hypocrite, an asshole. a fucking child. the stupidiest is the one who thinks they know everything. you fit the desceiption. so fuck you, and, sadly, fuck this place. but i’m carrying with me in my heart many good moments and i’m going to be in touch with those i really like. if i don’t end up banned, know that i’m not coming back.

thanks jay. you managed to fuck everything up. please, go drive into a tree.

Smells like teen spirit. Reported.

lol

also, the ignore function is much preferrable to what ocurrred over at off-topic yesterday.

this sounds wonderful. i really like the suggestion.

however, maybe wait for when Episode IX comes out because it’s likely going to be the next time a discussion is going to be had here.

No Social Commentator

Nothing to see here. Move along, move along.

Smells like social commentary. Reported.

hey duracell it says “divergent” in your sig. you do realize that unless you’re a physicist you’re going to be reported by me in 10 seconds right

Possessed said:

political

banned

my interpretation is that he was talking about how Jay instead of diplomatically talking about what’s been going on in the politics thread decided to ban the subject and nuke the threads, thus not talking about it meaning nothing will change, which contradicts the statement in question.

idk though. could be about cooked pizza, or possessed

looks good, i’m excited.

not cool

what was hard rule #4 before?

Before a couple of years ago? I don’t know mate - may have been a different set of Rules & Guidelines. Jay posted this set up on December 2016.

Edit: It may be worth checking further down the ‘announcements section’ for older rules if interested?
 

no, i meant before the update, since jay said “updated hard rule #4”. as in, what did it say before “no politics”.

Oh, doh! Okay - ‘Your signature, which appears beneath all your posts, may not contain political content or social commentary.’

makes sense. thanks!

I confess that I didn’t see the tiny bit of gantry above the TIE in that shot at first.

The only onscreen evidence of how TIE’s are parked pre-SE is in ROTJ.

Jedi Outcast had a Star Destroyer level with a hangar bay full of TIE’s hanging around this way.

I never noticed the TIE hanging from some sort of maintenance gantry in this shot before!

Also, Return Of The Jedi is my favorite Star Wars movie.

now who would’ve thought…

How I feel today.

Any particular reason why, or just one of those days?

It’s just one of those days when lots of threads get deleted.

And to be clear this is not social commentary.

You know, now that you mention it…

Uh-Oh did you just get deleted?

i don’t think you need to go out of your way to introduce padme. her first scene with anakin says a lot by itself, as in that their marriage is secret because the jedi don’t allow it. you don’t need to throw everything at the viewer right away. and we don’t need to know that they’ve known each other for so long, just that he loved her very much, enough to become darth vader in order to save her.

you could explain the clone wars in the crawl, and i think that’d solve many of the issues. heck, dooku doesn’t really need much of an introducing either.

cool

TV’s Frink said:

rate my babe

brilliant

now i finally think i’m ready to say: welcome back, frink. 😄

that’d make him break telegramming rule #1 though.

dahmage said:

There’s a couple people who post around here that I really think need to start indicating when they are joking…

i think i’m included in this group of people

do you mean “the original trilogy radical redux ideas thread”?

ChainsawAsh said:

I had a nose hair that was being particularly bothersome and, since it was just the one, tried to take care of it with scissors instead of my electric trimmer.

…I may have mildly Chainsaw’d myself. Ouch.

well that really sucks.

he just said this:

“[UPDATE] #Youtube #YoutubeDown: The “attack” was not meant to be used as publicity stunt, it was primarily a test on a vulnerability. Note that services should be a up within a few minutes to a couple of hours, for any updates or wanting to contact me follow/pm me.”

probably bullshit though.

SilverWook said:

I wonder if they got hacked? And why would a twitter account that was gathering dust for 12 years suddenly be talking about it?

yeah i saw that, a bit suspicious. i think they got hacked.

Is YouTube down?

yes.
