Farewell teamxbox

I don't think you were a jerk or an inconsiderate prick.

And perhaps my claims of "ego" are ill informed.. but there's something off about you that rubs me the wrong way. lol.. I rub most people the wrong way on the internet, so don't take too much offense to it.

The Nby thing bothered me for instance. I wasn't friends with Nby or anything like that..didn't really know much about him.. but he got thrown under the bus for making a joke about a toy.. and you actively turned that into a story about Nby "attacking your child." That's the words that were used during all of that.. and it made me a little ill. Victim complex.. and I'd seen it from you before. You took a lot of things way too seriously.

But perhaps you were under stress.

All water under the bridge now.

Maybe, I don't know. I was upset about the comment made at the time. I thought it was offensive and not just normal this is the internet offensive, I took it personally. Personally because it was about my kid, who I up until then felt I could share with the community and not have to worry about those kinds of things. But I felt it crossed a line. It's not like making a yo mama joke or ragging someone about their girlfriend or whatever.

I think what got me most was I had always been pretty open toward the community and tried to be pretty transparent about events in my life. Through the divorce with Serenity and other things over the years. I guess I just took it a little too much to heart because I felt like it was a betrayal of my level of trust from someone who at the time I thought of as a friend, even if it was one I never met in real life. And granted I realize he didn't mean to be overly offensive by it and it was a knee jerk response just to get a few giggles, but again...I don't know how many of you have kids, but maybe if you did your perspective would shift a bit. That coupled with all the stresses going on, I guess it's fair to say that was one of the last straws and a couple months later it all ended anyways. So the timing was probably good for that too as my heart just wasn't in it at that point anyways. So things ultimately worked out for the best, and I think I've always said I wouldn't have changed anything.

:banana:
 
Wow, people have some feelings about this old stuff. I was never one for the OTL, so I don't have any memory of it at all. Interesting to hear more about the history of TXB and what things were like behind the scenes.

Shock/Brent, I certainly hope you stick around. Bunz aside, we have a pretty nice community here. :tounge:

If it was your child involved in the joke made ( i dont know what that joke was since I was on TXB sabbatical at the time) then chances are, in my book, it has crossed the line. Having three, I can empathize. Unless of course you "know" the poster, which is grey area. You probably may have not liked NBY and his constant online presence at the time to begin with, which may have fueled your reaction
 
I don't do a good job running forums, I'll be the first to admit that. I get way too involved.

You did a good job with all the technical aspects of WCG. You just can't have an "anything goes" kind of forum without hardly any standards for code of conduct.
 
What's up BunzHoles butt? LOL

We know, you don't appreciate Brent or think he appreciated us. Time to move on, brah.

Nobody is perfect.

I deleted my TXB book mark the day this forum was designated our new home and I haven't been back since.
 
How's life treating you @Wiseguy ? I have to admit I miss the nights of playing Rainbow Six all the time.

Been good man! Had my first son, Jackson, last year and have been enjoying fatherhood. It's a great pleasure to have a child and as you know, it changes everything. Like you, I kinda became jaded by the gaming industry that I was never really a part of but privileged to have a sneak peak into. And as you know, it's not all fun and games. Haven't been gaming much until recently when GTA V came out, we had some great times playing IV and I remember well the Rainbow Six days, was a blast. Just downloaded RSV for s***s and giggles and thought it was crazy how much tech has changed since then.
 
TXB, wow, what a sad site to see. It has been 3 years since I have posted there and I never posted much, but it was the only forum I ever considered home.

I feel right at home here with the community so it still feels like TXB to me. Even though, I miss being at teamxbox forums where it all started.
 
Everything about the tech behind this site is superior to TeamXbox.

It has been terrible for a long time.. never had any good image resizing.. and weird little things always bothered me about TXB.

Like the fact the top menu isn't on the UserCP screen.. LOL... go to UserCP... lose your nav menu.

And of course Search barely working for many years.
 
That was the first online community I ever felt part of. It really sucks to see it go. I met a lot of cool people through the TXB forums.

The community didn't go, just the site. I think what we have here is even better because it kept what was great about TXB and left what wasn't so great.
 
On a whim I swung by TXB. Database error :( Crazy. RIP TXB.

But hey, things seem to be going well over here!

Am I the only one who this site works for? I'm yet to see this error.
 
I checked just now and it came up for me this time. Must be in it death throes. Ack! Oooooohhh! Eeeeeek! Bleeeeehhhh.........
 
What the hell is going on over there?!! It's like rape flavored spam. I almost feel the compulsion to take a shotgun in there and put TXB down as a mercy killing.
 
Was just looking over at TXB other consoles and platform forum, almost 500 pages with spam, tried to see the other forums, but got error.
Then looking at this forum, sow clean, spam free.
