Caltrops - Site Comments





	[quote name="Creexul :("]Random dates and times because some posts are posted in the past, replies are made, and then the posts they're replying to are erased from existence by the awesome powwa of wikifags because they decide what is truth and what is <b>UNVERIFIED</b> (which is worse than lies). Not a very good system! [quote]Caltrops is of no real significance to OMM, the "me too" desires of its users notwithstanding. References to it don't belong here. If anything, OMM should be referenced in a Caltrops article, <b><i>but I doubt Caltrops is important enough to merit its own OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO</b></i>. No mood to deal with it? Maybe you should follow Wiki advice and move on to something else. http://web.archive.org/web/20000408202811/http://www.oldmanmurray.com/runyon.wcs [quote]Indeed, that's the advice I put on my page. But you people annoyed me. This isn't a political issue, this is a vandal issue WE'RE TALKIN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGES TO WIKIPEDIA YOU SICK SONS OF BITCHES AND I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN STOP IT, VANDALISM IS A CRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMUH. --Golbez 04:05, 24 February 2006 (UTC) [/quote] [quote]OH HEY LOOK WIKI FAGGOTS TALKING DOWN TO NON WIKI FAGS! OH THE HUMANITY!? "A newcomer's behaviour probably seems appropriate to him or her and a problem usually indicates unawareness or misunderstanding of Wikipedian culture."[/quote] [quote]Hoot, hoot I say! You Caltropsian newcomers are like the red savage who, upon sitting for a formal dinner, sticks his totem pole in the mashed potatoes. Much monocle popping ensues from your shameful antics, I assure you! 3432434324sfd, 24 March 2006 (UTC)Jerry Whorbach Dreadfully sorry chums, my IP address seems to have escaped its trousers :([/quote] [quote]Why is this page even here? Only ranked 694,502 on Alexa, therefore not notable. Oh I forgot, it's American so the Wiki Fascist editors have to include it. --RobertaWilliams[/quote] [quote]Stop already. Can a mod please stop the caltrops updates? It is unverifiable. It is an attack. It is removing verifiable information. It dominates the entry for this site. It has no place here. Caltrops is not what made OMM great, the forums were not as important as they sad little men make it out to be. And yes, I will keep my identity hidden because they have attacked other users who have corrected this entry.[/quote] [quote]Sad little men Can a mod please stop the above user? He is a pussy. He has attacked Caltrops. He has insulted the users of a non-wiki site by referring to them as "they [sic] sad little men", and then peed his anonymous pants.[/quote] [quote]This entry is pretty disappointing. OldManMurray was influential enough to be one of the first pages given a permalink from Slashdot. They were responsible for supporting lesser-known games like Serious Sam with its bright colors and outdoor maps, and Pencil Whipped with its bizarre but internally consistent level design. Their front page authors have since worked for game companies, while their forums were read and occasionally contributed to by developers, game theorists, and internet economists, who all had a lot to add to the discussion about game aesthetics. Some of them now teach about games at NYU or Hunter, some have moved on to make interesting games like Chromatron and contribute to games like Supremacy - Four Paths To Power and God of War. OMM's insecure and unprotected (but always raucus and entertaining) forums were shut down by Chet in response to a massive spam attack. Chet still runs PortalofEvil, of which OMM was a small part, and now runs his own hosting company, works for a game company and helps out as the administrator of Quarter to Three, a games discussion site populated largely by video game critics including founder Tom Chick. As for the post-OMM forums, the majority of OMM posters moved on to Caltrops, using code we got from Chet to make it the same as the original OMM Forums. Many users also moved on to Quartertothree or the now-defunct Gamersangst. Jack Fool 22:01, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[/quote] [quote]Lies. The OMM forum was shut off as a direct result of Chet getting frothingly angry in a thread at Zseni (nee Vag) for criticising his POE hosting service. He pulled the plug right in the middle of the fight, and later cited us for being "petulant children" on our refugee forum while, at the same time, talking about thumbing through the OMM forum data and deleting random posts. Strangely, no code or post content was ever donated to caltrops. I know this because I was there on the day Chet's meaty paw came down on the forums, Fussbett designed the Caltrops interface, and I wrote the Caltrops forum code.

What the hell does that site have to do with OMM any more than a million others -- the Mushroom, Bitchx, Sierra, Quarter to Three, VoodooExtreme, and the various other forum user created sites (SSW, GA, etc.) and on and on.. get over yourselves. (And I really hope that's the real DIDCOT.) --JustSomeGuy[/quote] [quote]What's your problem with Caltrops? Even Erik Wolpaw of Old Man Murray thinks it's hilarious. I suggest you spend more time doing something else.[/quote][/quote]
