Thanks Harlock, but I have given up fighting the fight over there, now my goal is just to expose how one sided that website is, and I have been pissing off Twilekjedi, the CT mod there all day. I PM'd him and asked him if they could create a specific forum that was totally seperate known as the O-OT Forum. I told him if they created it, I would get everyone back who left, and it would be a omage to all the fans who grew up with the series from 77-83, and it would make us feel wanted, not just having our own thread, but our own FORUM! He replied NO WAY, and said it was brought up in the meeting of the mods and nobody thought it was a good idea. I PM'd him again, and told him why don't you just rename the site, "Only Star Wars fans of the movies from 1997-2005" He never responded.
One of my posts was edited, but in it I said that I am the only one who is fighting for the O-OT on this site now since Harlock, Zombie and LordHelmet were banned yesterday. The post was up for everyone to see for about an hour, but I got many PM's from fans who were posting who pretty pissed off. Even though they disagreed with me, they really thought it was lame that the O-OT guys in the argument were the only ones who got banned.
Then I posted about SW getting #39 on the new AFI List, and at this time presently , nothing was posted on the site saying one of its babies, the original SW made a Top 100 list compared with EVERY movie ever. But they were quick to post last Thursday that Hayden won an MTV Award for Best Villain! I got about 2 replies from fans who congratulated SW '77, and my point was made: There is no one left on that site who likes the O-OT and the Original Star Wars anymore. Guys, this is the new radical Star Wars fan. Get used to this niche audience of SW geeks.

CO, I see you are waging what looks like a one man battle against the likes of Dude4c and others. Backup is on the way

Sheesh...That's depressing. I'm guessing this is a bunch of young people who've only ever thought of Star Wars as the six-part saga, and when they saw the OOT found it to be grossly innacurate to the PT, or as it seems that they consider, the first three films in the saga. It's sad to think that the next generation might be made up of Star Wars fand like this. Though, there is stll hope. I'm a teenager and love the OOT, and I might not be alone.
