Well, to the original question. I didn't really have any strong opinion of either alliance before the war, exept that i generally like the PvP groups in MMOS. But after the war started, and ASCN stated to accuse BoB of cheating, hax, etc. i must say that i would be really disappointed to see ASCN win. Either you show undeniable proof of cheating, or you just acknowledge you lost.
About the BoB smacking on forums.. well, it seems to be most often reactionary. You congratulate them of a good fight, you get nice talk about the fight, you accuse them of cheats, you get smack. Of course they could just tell their members to shut it, but i kinda see it as honesty, as in they are showing what they really think, not some diplomatic BS. Not that i like reading thought that bull any more than the next guy.
Besides, as i see it, they dont really get anything from trying to appear all diplomatic. It's not like they would be hated much less. In WOW maybe a leading guild gets respect if they dont smack, but it doesn't work like that on competitive games where loser actually loses something. Even if no-one from BoB was saying anything to anyone in forums or in game, there would still be people telling every noob that BoB are the ultimate evil, that haxors the game and kills everyone that they see. Been there, done that. Our guild was still accused of everything under the sun.
And finaly, they ARE a PvP alliance. They want people to fight them. They would probably quit the game in disgust if everyone was cheering and wouldn't want to fight them because they are liked so much.

This might be a good opportunity to ask a few questions, for interest's sake, on a subject very close to my heart i.e. player driven content and it's impact on the player base at large.
I suppose these questions are directed at the following groups of people (not exclusively but as examples) relatively new players to Eve who haven't had the chance to move out to 0.0 space yet, players who prefer to play Eve solo and stay largely in empire, members of small corporations run independantly of alliances in 0.0 etc.
1. Are you at all interested in what goes on between the player factions/alliances in Eve?
2. Do you know what is currently going on between player factions/alliances in Eve (in the broadest sense e.g. who controls what space, who are friends/enemies etc.)
3. Do the actions of player factions/alliances have any real impact on your Eve experience?
4. Where do you get your information about player driven content from e.g. the Player News Centre, the Intergalactic Summit, CAOD forum etc?
I may not exactly be one of those you were asking the question from anymore, but i was some months back. So.
1. I like reading about the politics of player factions, i find that it creates depth for the game.
2. Generally yes.
3. Certainly they do now, but before i really started to go to 0.0, not that much. I think that the real empire dwellers dont see much of a impact, exept if they are manufacturing and/or selling things.
4. Forums in general.
