Just saw today that Something Awful put Eve in their Video Game Article.
You know that you're becoming popular when humor sites stop taking shots at WoW to poke a bit of fun of you!

Something Awful has the biggest Forum you have to pay for... You have to pay like a one time fee of 10 bucks to make an account, that's how they keep spammers and trollers out, because if you get banned you lost $10 ...

both are wrong
http://www.big-boards.com/
Off Topic.com (which has a very small corp in EvE) is the largest pay forum, SA is just below them.

It's just a good comedy site, which tends to have alot of eBaumsworld bashing since that mother****** tends to steal from the SA, and every other website that is popular in any way.

It's actually $80 semi-annually for a forums subscription. Worth every penny though.

That's basically where Goons come from.
No birds or bees or storks involved. Just sordid demonic perversions, I hear.

thank goodness for the reminder.
I almost forgot why I found SA to be so **** stupid.
the whole thing... just get a "icky" feeling from that site.
posting a phone number on a message board? good greif... I'm no socialite but if thats what you call an upgrade of social interaction from message boards and instant messaging... ::shudder::
"real" social interaction isn't "real" because of the fact its in a medium that has voice.
Going to LAN partys. good. forum ****'ing, ... not so good. but IMO better than staring at a TV for the same amount of time. talking on the phone to people from a message board ... just... ew.

Alot of fun stuff, alot of goonery, alot of idiotcy. Although, we did raise $35k in relief funds in about 6 hours when Katrina hit the gulf coast.
Just like any place with thousands of posters, you get the good, the bad and the ugly neckbeards.

Lets not forget the money drive to buy a Goon and his platoon members ballistic armor vests before they got deployed to Iraq.
<3 SA forums
Also, theres something like 1500 +/- goonfleet members, plus a bunch more in regular non goon run corps spread out. Goons have been in Eve since around April 2004. :)

Yeah, or the guys that made fun of the mentally unhinged kid and provided advice on where to buy guns and ammunition, mere days before he killed his neighbours with a shotgun, then turned it on himself. Mustn't forget that one either.

Edited by: Virtuoso DeToure on 23/04/2006 03:24:10 Don't register for those forums, seriously... SA sucks. It's like 80 bucks a month and they just ban you when they need more money. All that for a truckers' newletter?
Seriously, it's a terrible forum. No one from Eve should ever go there. Listen to Istvaan, he's never lead you astray.

I remember that dude, He was nuts. He was asking for advice on what sort of shotgun shell he should use on these 'damn kids who kept shooting his halloween pumpkins with BB guns' TFR laughed him off the forums and he flipped out. I feel really sorry for the girl especialy, she was only 18 i think.

I don't see where the whole "Dear God People on the Internet exchanging non-internet contact information!" thing comes from. I recently met up with about 25 people in the area to go eat and watch Silent Hill. We're having a barbeque in a month then at some point in the indeterminate future we're playing Guitar Hero on an IMAX. Doesn't get more awesome than that. The only "Internet" thing I ever did was when a few of us got together and Protested NASA's Unfair treatment of the aliens they captured at Roswell.
Every bit worth the 80 bucks a month.
