Moving in from the Basher's Sanctuary (TF.n)

So the Basher’s Sanctuary in theforce.net forums has been closed.
Are there other gentlemen and gentleladies from that hallowed place who now reside here?

I was banned from theforce.net because I didn't like the changed that Lucas made to the movies.

And because I didn't have an orgasm every time I watched Episode I.

Hey Invader Jenny, I remember your stuff on TF.N. They must have been a bit selective with their bannings, as I remember seeing much worse written by gushers who got away with it.

Hi to Ree Yees also. I was an irregular poster in the Sanctuary, but I've moved across after seeing the thread that's replaced it. Where's the fun in that???!!!

That could almost get me to watch Episode I. Almost.

I was going to say "Every time I put in Episode I" but I thought that might send a strange visual image.

I'm from tf.n. I have friends over there. The atmosphere is like a regime. This place is so much better.

There is nooooooo Sanctuary!

To those just joining, welcome.
There's good in the Original Trilogy, and it's worth fighting for.

Yeah, it was sad to see it go. I hadn't posted in there for some time, but I'd lurk to read the final words and such. It's good to see some of the gang come over here, though. I'm not too impressed with the "Golden Vintage Star Wars" whatevthehell they're calling it replacement for the Sanctuary. It's a joke. It seems more like a "Hey I'm an old school Star Wars fan! Look at me jape and act for your amusement" type thing. Did that sound bitter?

The idea of a "sanctuary" for someone who willfully identifies themselves as "a basher" or otherwise marginalizes their online existence--is utterly mindfucked, to me. Which is why its' no surprise the concept comes from TFN.

there was seriously a coffee-klatch board set up at that place where people who voluntarily reduced themselves to something as simplistic as "bashing" would hang out and pat each other on the back for marginalizing themselves?

Insanity.

Welcome to OT.com It's different here.

It was closed? I never went there, but I know Strilo. He was a mod there, right?

Well at least the reversed surround channels have been addressed.

"Mod", "Dictator", he went by many names.

It's been a while since I even dropped in on the sanctuary but it was nice to know it was there to visit whenever I had something I should have been doing.

There were a lot of interesting POV's to check up on and even some reasonable gushers.

Such familiar names, I was cjedi72, and didn't know the sanctuary existed, and started arguing with fans who thought TPM was better than the original SW, so I got banned. When I was released from jail, I moderated myself around the PT gushers, and hung out in the sanctuary, cause that was the only place you could post an opinion without getting warned of baiting.

TF.net is a pathetic website, and when they closed the sanctuary, and started that new thread today, I bolted for good. When you have a website with threads like, "The Phantom Masterpiece" and "Is ANH meh?" I started to question if these are the same movies we are all watching?

Then I forgot, they only watch the SE!

The site is 99% fanboys who defend the PT even knowing that they aren't as great as they say. I have talked to many fans there through PM's, and when I talked 'off the record' they admitted that TPM & AOTC are not great, but they just couldn't say anything bad about the movies or the bashers would be right. It is like American Politics, they are all just towing the party line, but don't believe everything they say.

Welcome guys, I have been here a year, and everybody is on the same page about what our goals are. And we don't need to post that the Original Star Wars is a classic, and go chapter to chapter to say how much we love every scene and how it affected our lives.

We let the OT, excuse me, the O-OT speak for itself.

Wow, that stuff sounds crazy. This is the only Star Wars message board I've ever posted on. I've read stuff occasionally on the starwars.com board, but even that doesn't seems as screwed up as tf.n. It's hard for me to believe that such places even exist! I'm so glad I'm here and not there. It seems that many pilgrims (some of whom have decided to use that avatar that's been amost exclusively mine for the past year, grr ) have found their way over here. Welcome all!

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

There's a great gabfest on bbs.stardestroyer.net about TF.N and their policies. It seems some EU author came up with some ridiculous ideas about the Clone Wars, and when they called her on it, she

a) accused them of sexism,
b) accused them of harrassment,
c) got the mods to change the rules so VIPs cannot be told they're wrong,
d) got several of her interlocutors banned,
e) accused them of libel, and
f) ranted about how she would like to kill them (garroting and evisceration).

The kind of behavior that the mods here don't tolerate is considered VIP behavior on TF.N.

I was thinking of creating a "Basher's Sanctuary" welcoming thread, considering all the TF.n'ers who were talking of coming over here, but I wasn't quite sure of how to word it.

Nice thing is, the majority of this board is kinda like a Basher's Sanctuary, and need not be limited to a single thread. Welcome, all!

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.

So it's the insane fighting the insane, huh? How fun.

EDIT: I hate women whose first line of defense on anything is to pull out the old sexism card. It's so retarded.
