Greg was/is a smart fellow who represented himself as an asshole. He was toxin to most regardless if selected few liked him.

Only reason I keep reading the posts here is because at least decent part of the people here dare to argue when someone posts something obnoxiously incorrect. It has kept the information flow surprisingly coherent in the last 5 years I've skimmed through the subforum even though it often came to be only through high amounts of bickering.

Also, wasn't Canadian the person who found GTX 690 and often made very incorrect assumptions regarding tech? I think he made another post a year back that made me blacklist him in all context.

Overall, I have never cared for your feeling of community all that much. Shaft was pretty point-on surprisingly large amount of time even if a lot of people didn't/don't like him and tended to call him shitposter for all the trolling he did.

I find it surprising people want their friends to come back here, to this perpetual pot of self-correcting bickering and slow repression. I'd rather meet them in a less hostile environment which encouraged self-expression.

I don't think anyone truly longs for them to come back here (specifically).
Everybody is somewhat nostalgic over various periods in time.

I mean when Those guys were around there was always people trying new things.
Who else aside from eek has did a dry Ice OC here and logged the adventure?

Thats what I loved, it was what people were up to and seeing what they were doing
next. But this place died so to speak and now no ones really doing shit which makes
others long for a time when it was fun,new and exciting.

About shaft, its great when he posts actually content related to the topic but the majority
of his posts are literally nothing but gibberish or I'm balding. AT a certain point you stop
trolling and become that, you can see it all over GC. I don't think people disliked
him though I think it's more like no one could understand him. Sometimes being right isn't
all that matters especially when you can't be understood by the one your trying to correct.
