Don't forget, you are currently fighting for systems that were already taken from you quite sometime ago. It isn't as though you have made one bit of significant progress in the past six months. When you start taking territory from BoB itself the Eve Community may actually be impressed.
Sorry, I saw this a few pages back and felt it needed some addressing.
Band of Brothers has held Omist since late May and even rented it out to a tennant alliance. Saying that 9-9 and XGH in tenerifis doesn't count as taking BoB territory I can understand, but taking a region that they've held for close to 2 months and had tennents in is taking BoB and "GBC" territory.
The reality at the moment is that the RSF pushed back a full BoB offensive in tenerifis and are on the verge of taking a region from BoB forces where BoB has level 3 soverign station systems.
This argument would be just as ridiculous as claiming that BoB never took a Goon system ever because it was all old LV systems anyways. When Feyth systems start falling to the RSF, are you going to claim that the RSF is still not taking BoB systems because its all old ASCN space anyways?

And to the people saying that they can't beleive SG would side with someone like BoB. Well, considering that SGHQ has zero in common with the likes of Goons or some of the others I don't find this surprising at all. Dicipline and honor comes to mind. And for those who think BoB don't have honor, then you have never flown with neither SG nor BoB.
LoL with lecturing me on how Sturmgrenadier works. I've known them since their 2003 Planetside days. When you phrase it with the choice being either goons or BoB, I don't imagine Sturm fitting with either entity (there are way more choices that BoB or goons though). What does suprise me is that they willingly made themselves a subordinate to BoB... not even attempt to be seen as an equal or a good rival.
As an old friend I've said plainly to Sturmgrenadier that allying with BoB is a mistake and a bad move. For one, BoB have a habit of recruiting the good PvP players out of their renters (hey buxaroo... didn't you used to be in Sturmgrenadier?), and second they were severely hurting their gaming clan by willingly becoming a "pet" of another.
Anyways, they have chosen to ignore the sound advice of an old friend and are about to feel all the negative results of their decisions. I remember in planetside when my outfit went VS for a few months, my groups decimated entire platoons of Sturm. Their military style makes them too rigid and they don't adapt well to different tactics. If its not in their playbook, it doesn't get done. All it will take is a goon FC with a little imagination and RISE will fall.
Maybe next time they won't ignore the advice of an old friend.

RA TCF & UNL are attacking 66- and R97. We lost the station in 66- and R97. Bob might have the station back in 66- as I am typing this. TCF has like 3 stations now in Omist. Lots of POS spammage since RAGS can't attack our POSSes head on, they rather POS spam. Goonies put 2 POS in 9-9 in reinforced and could not finish the job last night, typical.
And in local, you have Goonies talking smack in tech 1 frigs holed up in their 1 pos in 66- or their Station in 7-s.
Its been mostly BOB and friends fighting RA, TCF and UNL. RA have been using their time zone advantage on their pos timers since Goonies can't defend by themselves. Goonies usually play when they have 4-1 odds and jettison cans at the gate or station.
Its a bunch of pew pew and I can't complain. Wish lag was better than 5 minutes to activate your guns or control you ship in fleet battles. Smaller fights are fun. 
You went a little overboard on the trolling, but overall a pretty good job. You'll probably catch a few of the slower GS members (Battlestars).
It would take effort.
