How long will we all keep in touch with each other...

Nah, he was all right. Don't remember much about him save the avatar, which is probably bad on my part.

Nah, Cube was alright. Talked with him often over Xbox Live with grf, SD Downs, a3HM and others.

I thought Cube was sound. The only person I didn't like on NGamer was a3hm. Worst person I've ever encountered on a forum. I wouldn't have stuck about and gone on to win three - three! - prestigious Forumite Of The Year awards on the old place had he stayed, and thus never have ever kept in touch with any of you!

Unless it's me, I've genuinely no idea who any of you are talking about...

I think Stu's and Jay's posts gave it away...

I feel like such a bitchy person now. I'm sure he's a good person at heart who's just had a rough time over the last two or so years!

On a more positive topic, what happened to SD? I see Billy Goats grf occasionally on Facebook, and know that he turned down an invitation to the forum, but SD just slowly vanished...

I feel I'm missing a reference here.

I'm staying here just to see if these predictions come true....

6/10, must try harder.

But yes, I'm not getting the reference either. Poor memory for irritating typing styles, it seems. Who was that?

A3hm was okay in small doses.

I have him on Facebook to be fair and he can be a right laugh, however he suffered from some sort of Internet forum God complex and could be just a dick at times.

He removed me from Facebook, rather rudely. Something to keep in mind when considering my opinion!

Far too kind: he was a complete waster who contributed nothing to NGamer's forums and looked like a mini-mosher in need of a good bath. Actually, that's too kind as well.

I remember him adamantly defending UKIP, occasionally snapping at random people on the forum, and talking about how much he liked drink and weed. It's funny the things that stick with you eh...

If I had a spare e-mail address, there's no way I wouldn't be making a fake a3HM account right now.

I just hope it's not me! *hugs everyone* *stands away in case he's gone too far* *runs*

I wish I'd thought of it. Then I could post this video during my reveal, and it'd be beautifully relevant.

Jimbob, don't worry, read back the past few posts, it'll all be made clear.

Though I think we can all agree his hugs are getting out of hand

I like them

Now I remember having some absolutely massive blow-ups with A3HM back in the day and I will be honest, it was a major reason I went on hiatus for a long period of time. He had some close friends who would have a tendency to gang up if a discussion became heated. The oddest thing about all of that is that he added me on Facebook. I have never really talked to him, but I see his comments every so often, usually on Shanks' posts. He must have deleted me from his friends list some time ago.

The funniest fight I had with him was over Guitar Hero Aerosmith, which I described as a waste of a disc as they were overrated and hardly anyone knew more than 3 of their songs. Then it descended into a pissing contest about who knew more about 70s rock. Of course, I was a teenager in the 70s, at the height of this style of music, so I was speaking from actually being around at the time. Plus, it was just opinion and I wasn't really invested in the topic, but he wasn't going to go away quietly and berated me over and over. I don't care for arguing on the interent, but I do find bullying and intimidation very offensive and I won't let that stand given the opportunity. We were destined to clash.

Also, I do have a problem when a forumite for a Nintendo console suddenly becomes a hater of Nintendo and shouts that at every opportunity, and I have seen that far too often. They usually have friends to back them and they don't want to leave, but their constant negativity becomes unbearable.

On another front, I have several Facebook friends from NGamer and still, I am terrible at putting those names to users. Some are easy Stu, Shanks and SDDowns, plus grf. However, I can't put usernames to Daniel Murphy, Gwyn Brian, Scott Varnham and Stewart Campbell. I have a terrible memory for those details.

This is THE only forum I go on these days. I have been banned from every game site I have frequented, so as long as you don't ban me, I will stick around. My last banning was because I made a comment that Mormonism is a cult, at the height of the USA election. I was suspended and then told I would be banned if I repeated it (a moderator was a Mormon). I told them I would most likely repeat my comments and just go ahead an ban me - they did.

Besides one humongous and ongoing rant he had over the new shipment of mods (i.e: Yours Truly, SD Downs and grf741), I never had personal beef with a3HM. I could see him clashing with some of my favourite forumites on a regular basis, though, and I've always disliked the presence of pointless disagreement. A quick check of Facebook informs me that he's still in my friend list, and I'll honestly say that he's always been fine over there.

The only forumite (and person altogether, thinking about it) that I've unfriended on Facebook due to distaste is Mrs 741. She must've caught me when she was having a bad day one day and she had a huge rant on one of my posts (which was a personal status update, not a post to her wall) which happened to be a Simpsons quote. She said she was tired of seeing a bunch of us innocently exchanging Simpsons quotes over Facebook, so I had a minor dig back before taking my bat and ball home and coming to the conclusion that there was no point us being 'friends'. We'd never met, and we didn't exchange any other Facebook pleasantries.

All that sounds a bit childish reading back through this, but if folk aren't willing to look past a bit of idle fun then they should go and sit and sulk in their corner on their own.

I haven't seen much from grf741 lately and I get the feeling mrs741 deleted me some time ago. I was surprised they added me at the time as well, as they didn't give me any indication they were fans of me. I must have missed the rant over the Simspons. You have slowed down significanlty with those posts - run out of things to quote :homer:

I still quote Simspons so much in my life, I doubt it will ever stop.

Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.

I removed many people over on Facebook - not for any personal reasons or distaste - just because, like Balla, I'm not overly fond with having people on Facebook that I haven't met in person. It may seem a bit much, but I've grown a bit more private on the web lately.

However, I did remove Mr Monkey due to distaste after he had a go, not at me, but at one of mates who he didn't even know. That crossed a line for me.

If I never added people I have never met, to Facebook, then I would never have been able to speak to some wonderful people in England or America. That very specifically means, but not confined to Stu. I am prepared to give pretty much anyone a shot, but I am also quite prepared to delete them if they don't work out. I only have 39 'friends' on Facebook. Like everything in life, you can control it, or it can control you.

I've not hesitated to add people I've known around here for almost six years now. I speak to most of you more frequently and thoroughly than many people I actually physically know.

(hugs everyone)

@oldschool: I still quote The Simpsons every day, albeit mostly in real life.

Did you pick up my Simpsons quote 2 posts back?

Indeed I did.
