I was permabanned from TFN back in 2006, but that suprises me about the bashing now, cause they essentially drove out 90% of the bashers back then.

The big turning point at TFN was after Lucas announced the GOUT back in May 2006, as the gushers were stunned that Lucas had renaged because he always said that the OOT didnt' exist anymore.

Then once the GOUT was said to be non-anamorphic, all hell broke loose on the boards. People like myself were pissed because we knew it was a spit in the face to this fanbase, then the gushers started chiming in gloating! To this day I never understood why a SW fan would gloat that Lucas would spit on the original versions, the ones that made SW what is was today!

They started saying, "You are getting what you deserve!" and there were heated battles all over the boards. Finally they closed the bashers sanctuary later that month, which came out of nowhere, and then they pretty much banned any basher of the PT and we all fled to OT.com or ORS.com.

I havent' posted there in 3 years, but I do remember the last days I was there it was a bunch of teenagers defending the PT, and I figured that place wasn't for me. I still have the Private Message from a mod Darth Sapient, "No one gives a shit about the OOT, get over it and move on cause you'll never post here again." I was then permabanned.
