I'm not dead guys and girls.

Ahahahaha who told his ex girlfriend about the post that is seeeeerious creepy

Also have fun being a jerk with all your jerk friends goKi if it works for you that's great but please just go play halo 2 with your frat buddies instead of coming here and reminding us that we are all nerds and can't measure up to you thanks

Another problem is your flames, which will require more muscle than a Moderator can muster to douse.

Cry me a river, bitch.

And goki man, I'm really happy to see you are enjoying life. Moo and I told you when you came and visited that you need to open up and just have fun and it really seems like you are now 😊 Now you just need to come visit again 😃

I didn't ever say or think that i was better than all of you. But if you all have a bitch like this at the drop of a hat, perhaps i am. And Glitch, as soon as i've got some cash together, i'm there, man.

goKi I don't think you "get" AGN

I'm glad i dont.

Isn't that just what you want to hear from an admin?

I'm thinking Goki should just step down as admin and leave AGN since he is so much "better" than all of us. Yes let's tell everyone through a computer screen that I'm cool now because I lost some weight and I drink a few wine coolers on the weekend.

Pathetic...

So once again we are without an admin that is here almost every day. I thought War Lord just approved 2 admins about a year ago, and now both are going to be gone: just beautiful.

I think goki should be forgiven for subconsciously placing himself a pedestal above the rest of the nerdy internet scum. It sounds like he's just moved out of his parents house and he's over excited to test some boundaries. No big deal. Although, if he's not going to be around as often, I would have to agree that he should step down from his admin position.

Btw, I was bare-ass naked while I posted this.

It's always nice to get little reminders as to why you don't go to some places any more.

I think the problem is that few of us view drinking, picking up chicks, and acting sleazy as "doing more with yourself".

Drinking a lot and getting laid with random girls might be fun, but I assure you it's not any healthier or productive than relaxing at home and posting on the internet.

The gym, however, sounds great. Good job on that. Losing weight and working out will add years to your life and improve self esteem.

You don't come here because one person decided to leave?

phattonez wrote:You don't come here because one person decided to leave?

No I think he means Goki is just a reminder of why he doesn't post much anymore. I'm sure there are many other reasons.

Believe me, from what I've seen, protesting for some staff who will actually be around is very high priority on the list of us who can't do anything but carry picket signs.

This is going to look like an attack on all the inactive staff, but I stand my ground; it is NOT. I've always believed that even though a place may not need it, having staff around that actually frequent the forums is a good thing. It keeps people happy knowing that if they need a staff member, they are there. I know people have lives, missing a few days ain't gonna kill anyone, but there are people who haven't been here in months, possibly longer.

*picks up his sign*

oh well...

I'm sure you knew this already, but I'm with Geru. For those of you who are confusing an uprising with a desire for a more active forum, you've gotta rethink your position on a few things. If you think that we're the ones that need to be rethinking our position, then you REALLY need to rethinking where things stand. Some of us here, (Hopefully the vast, vast majority.) want a forum community that's consistently happy, interested, participating, and not afraid to show up and post. Do we have all of these already? I don't know; it very much depends on who you ask.

I think I posted a list of two absolutely critical items for all staff to have. Even if your position on things is a bit different, so long as you're keeping people happy, it shouldn't matter. When the majority present is happy and posting, you've got yourself a great team of hard working staff. It's not a perfect list, but it's a great start towards the obvious. If I'm wrong, show me a different obvious. Show me what you think AGN should be relative to every other community. It's either a clique, or it's a great gathering of people. It could even be both! It was both for a while, and I remember people being happy, if oblivious, with it.

Also seriously who posts with pants on? Terrorists that's who!

Well then cuff me up and send me to Gitmo.

No that is too good for your kind we will send you somewhere where you learn the error of wearing pants

I know just the place, Kohl's. I hate that store so much. I wonder if they have those in Australia.

I was talking to teh CEO of Kohl's the other day. And he was saying how he'd never have a store built in Australia because the kangaroos would try on clothing and then beat the shit out of customers.

For those of you who have slower minds than others.

The drinking was such a minor part of the damn post. Funny thing is, i remember hearing several drunken rampage stories from almost everyone who criticised me drinking. Funny that. Also, Masa, i'd been out of my parent's place for over 4 months before i started drinking, so i'm pretty sure your theory is wrong. Mentioning i had gone out drinking a few times (and at the time of posting this, it was at TWO times, it's now at a whopping FOUR WHOLE TIMES, i'm on the way to being an alcoholic!) was directed almost specifically at Glitch, Mooie and Goat, who all tried very hard to get me drunk during my vacation up to the states two years ago.

The whole point of posting what i did, it's got to do with confidence. The reason i'm 'picking up' girls, and getting phone numbers and such is to build my own confidence and social skills. You 'internet scum' may not realise this, but you need social skills in almost every situation in life, not just while trying to talk to the opposite sex. Out of the four career paths i'm seriously considering following, three of them are extremely reliant on having good social skills (namely, if i can't talk to people well, i'll lose my job). Basically, i was a social retard before i started spending all my time on the internet, the internet didn't help me at all, since 93% of communication is voice tone and body language, which neither of are used at all online. My job was suffering, my friendships were suffering, my relationship with my family was suffering. I was just done with having such terrible social skills, and i think that i'm far better spending half an hour a day having conversations with complete strangers on the street than spending them talking to people over the internet.

The reception i got here is extremely typical of what this place has become. You guys are so wound up in yourselves you don't know how to properly converse with people anymore. It's kind of pathetic. You guys need to get over yourselves... I'm serious. And by the way, i 'place myself on a pedestal over you guys' because i am better than you. Those who this doesn't apply to know who they are, but you guys are so fucking petty, i've got no idea how you can enjoy your life. I know this because i used to be one of you. So instead of doing exactly what i would have did 6 months ago and start having a laugh about how i'm having a huge rant at you guys, and take a good hard fucking look at yourselves. You all could do so much more with your life (Again, the internet is fine, in fact, i can't wait to get it hooked up at home), but it's what you guys make yourselves when you're online that's just completely fucked up. I just re-read my original post, and it's far less self serving than everything you guys have written behind me.

Get over yourselves.

Vanilla Goki... now with at least 7% asshole!

Goki, you should go ahead and just ban Glenn again.

Glenn the Great wrote:Vanilla Goki... now with at least 7% asshole!

ha! that was brilliant.:lol:

goKi, I think you lost this thread. This is the equivalent of a GB thread without all the "fucks", "shits", and "cunts". At this point, there's really no reason to try and even defend yourself, you'll just end up getting bashed more and more.

Goki - It sounds to me like you were incapable of managing your time before completely cutting yourself off of the internet. Some people go overboard and can't get things done if they have access to the internet. I think it was a great idea for you to cut yourself off from the computer so you wouldn't be tempted to waste entire days in front of it.

There are a lot of very successful people posting at AGN. I am more impressed by the people who post interesting posts here AND have something meaningful going on in their lives -- not just partying and picking up women.

Great job getting in shape though. :thumbsup:

Best. Post. Ever.

Ahahaha just because I'm a jerk on the internet doesn't mean I have no social skills it just means it's more fun to troll people when you can easily disconnect yourself from the environment. Also we're all pretty tight-knit here so yeah when you waltz in talking about how much more awesome you are than us and how we have it all wrong we get pretty self-absorbed. Try walking into one of your bars and start talking about how abstaining from alcohol can really turn your life around you'll get pretty much the same results.

Yes Goki you figured out what type of person I am! I have no social skills but have clinics in a hospital two nights a week where I interact with people. I'll also be volunteering at a fire station again so there's more people but oh no! I don't have any social skills.

Someone developed an ego and needs a cookie. It's tempting to move this thread out of GD and out of sight.
