General IQ of AO?

[Nitroduck]

I'm just curious........

I went into the AO chat tonight to see what was up about this contest, and found out everyone was supposed to spam PBN. So i , put up one lil message , and once i got done, i checked back into chat only to find out that every single person is spamming quite badly. Is it common for people in a chat to spam the chat soooooo bad. Would it be alright if 10000 people from PBC , PBN , or such and spam quite a bit? It seems to me that this forum is starting to get out of hand and is seeming to go from a great intelectual foum into just a big mob of mag owners doin stuff that could make them look VERY bad.

Emag > pbnation.

Really, its just a contest, who cares.

It's all part of Tom's new marketing strategy... To prove that mag owners DO exist!

I agree with Nitroduck, this is a little rediculous, I wish "+m" was always activated in there.

Chill out. People get excited for contests. So what? Stuff happens. Now we know what havoc we can wreak.

Nitro, I see where your coming from, I dont think Tom realized how powerful he was.. as he said in chat

[Ack]

I personally feel dumber after a few minutes in chat. I remember now why I don't use chat anymore. /mutter

I agree with Shartly......If the point was to prove Mag owners exist, there are better ways to do it, sending a mob of 200 people spam another forum really isn't smart. What if PBnation's server DID go down? There would have been reprocussions, I already know the PBN server was lagging because of the spam posts. Was PBN contacted beforehand of this happening? If they weren't, this shows very poor planing by the party planners.

Now, if that wasn't bad enough, (Im using a non-AOer mindset for this), the reason to spam the forum was for a Emag, oh wow. So does that mean that TK could selectively target other owner groups to spam them to show that Mag owners are a bunch of brutes?

Please, next time you have a party, tell the people on AO about it, not post 200 messages on another forum, tying it up....Like I said earlier, do you want people coming to this forum, posting 300+ messages in 10 minutes tying up this forum in hopes of winning a Tippmann 98, or some other forum's products?

[HoppysMag]

Im sorry!. Wait no im not, i didnt do anything. Even though i was sleeping during this party i had no idea was going on..........But i do agree with Nitroduck. lets try to be the civilized forum. i mean come on all the other forums have a section for flames. we dont need one . we are better than that.
