Whatever you do don’t buy a bottle of Lagavulin; it’s so damn good it will ruin everything else for you.

I'm not so much a fan of the Islay's in general I've found.

anyone who doesn't like scotch from the Islay region should stick to drinking Rolling Rock.

Why aren't we talking about bottles of whine?

3 months is an absurd suspension amount, it's like getting the death penalty for stealing luncheables.

1) It's fuckin' stupid that Dennis got a 3-month ban for that if that's all he did. Really?

2) I need to learn a good Scotch lesson next time RendeR. Like it, but I don't know too much about it. Where do you buy such quality stuff? (Got a few places in mind if they're purchased in the WNY.)

3) We need a pic of a her tits against the wall while holding a bottle of scotch.

Ah, no I feel there are some bannings that are fair, but many of them are a joke, because today they are fine, and tomorrow they aren't. How many mods look at all this shit on here everyday not worrying about it and then finally one mod sees it and BAN! And then the users get butthurt about it. It appears there is a pretty vocal group that doesn't agree with the boxings, which means maybe these "unwritten rules" should be looked at again.

Did I make a judgment call? I simply explained what the reference to Shorty was - he defended everyone that got banned or boxed.

I have my feelings on the moderation of this board, but I find it rather pointless at this point to bitch about it, as it's not going to change.

I'm upset again. I just realized that it's been several hours since I've gotten any work done. Now I feel guilty, and I'm not even catholic.

That will all go away if you just drink some Scotch.

One MIGHt make Irish whiskey drinkable, but it would require the aforementioned ass crack of a blonde haired angel. Since when drinking from THAT recepticle one could forget what a hellish and disgusting excuse for bad rattlesnake piss Irish whiskey really is.

i find the easiest thing to do is not come here. were it not for the birth of my daughter that i felt would be nice to announce here, i wouldn't have come back. in all honesty i was just gonna post the birth announcement and move on, but then i saw all these "HA is back" posts and decided to stick around. if i get boxed, so be it. if i get banned, so be it. this entire website is a joke when you think about it - a website dedicated to vaporware. i get the "ppl come here thinking its the official FOF website so bad behavior looks bad for Solecismic" thing, but guess what? the company is dead. Jim is working the cash register at his local five and dime, and no one is buying a game that came out like 5 years ago, not to mention a game that isn't advertised anywhere. this is Jim's market. us, right here. no one is googling "football text sim game". everyone who knows about the game knows about it. this site isn't connected to FOF anymore. there's no need to keep our pants on anymore. anything short of decapitation videos and girl on girl assgagging should be in play here.

anyone could easily create a new website for everyone to go to with less stingent rules. all it takes for everyone else is updating the link on your favorites. ppl laugh at FN but at least he tried. so just shut up about the Mods, nothing will change. your options are to either put up with it, leave like i did or everyone sets up shop at a different website. seems like some pretty fair options to me.

the last game he created had no visible changes in it from the previous game. all the changes that were done were vaguely "under the hood", to coin his phrase. i got sold the same game twice essentially, but yet we speak of his name in whispers so as not to anger him, like some ancient Hawaiians trying to appease the volcano gods. so stop me if i feel he owes it to me/the community for something more. time to move on, Chip, its ok to critique him.

I don't know about everybody else here, but I don't think of these forums as having anything to do with FOF. I have continued to come for the past 10 years because I enjoy the conversation, plus I've made some half-way decent friendships along the way. The only time I play FOF is for FOFL related stuff. As far as Jim and his life are concerned, I could care less. Why? Because he's not really a part of this community, no different than any other lurker who only posts once every couple months. I don't place him, nor anyone else here up on a pedestal.
