You have no idea how many Goons will agree with you on this.

What "things" are you talking about here "zim"? Because I'm saying that yes, Goonswarm did host several websites that were linked from poison-pen letters sent to my RL employers with the express intent of getting me fired from my job. And you guys do still host a goonwiki that has my RL photograph alongside an allegation of child-sex abuse.

Nobody sensible "wants" to be associated with these things, and I think no gamer really wants to be associated with a community that makes and sustains such allegations to "win" in-game political campaigns either.

How about you remove the websites in question and perhaps we can all stop talking about these things?

Hey Jade, maybe you should start alt-posting since people hate you so much.

To be honest, being well hated or well loved on the forums due to your posting is an "Op success" in my books. If only I could get thousands of idiots to hate me...

By the way, Goonswarm sucks and they are the worst kind of subhuman slime ever. *crosses fingers*



Well, I don't really believe in alt-posting. I think its a bit weak all in all. I think its pretty much one of the worst things about Eve Online forums and has been since day one. Its generally abused by people wanting to sling murky accusations without risk from the sidelines.

The key to getting "goonswarm" to hate you Petrus is to take their leader apart in online discussions. When the Mittani loses his head on the forums he starts calling posting CTA's to cover his blushes. Shooting humorous one-liners at the rank and file generally fails on the grounds they don't really understand humor unless it has a pony or lolcat attached in asciii code to let them know its meant to be funny.


I think you're thinking of TEST. They're really all about ponies and lolcats.

What is crackerjax? I've never heard of that. How do you know that that is a Goon controlled site?

Right yeah.

The material there is very different from the stuff you post on eve-online forums every time you lose an argument.

Come on now Jade, why would we post things that obviously upset you?

I can think of a multitude of sites that have stolen content from the Goonwiki. Sites that are completely out of our control. Sites whose users can post anything, no matter what. Anyway, if you don't want to be associated with it, why do you keep bringing it up? I hardly ever see anyone mention it before you.

Strange then isn't it that every single time we have a discussion we end up on this subject. Almost as if you goons are trying your hardest to find ways to circumvent the new forum rules. Here's the thing, if you want to avoid the subject then just stop bringing it up in every thread. Perhaps you could say on topic and tell us again why you prefer to post on an alt.

So this is what, the third thread in a row that I've seen you veer completely off course with a "hey guys so goons accused me of [long list of things], and they made [link to a site with the very, very reputable name of "crackerjax"], too!"? I wouldn't have known you claim you were "associated with these things" if you wouldn't keep bringing it up at every opportunity you find (and probably then some).

And I swear, that list of allegations from your side keeps growing from thread to thread.

Remove which website? the crackerjax one? Sorry, no can do, it's not my site. And at this point I wouldn't be surprised if it was your site, designed to smear us, given the gusto with which you keep posting it.

The wiki that we own has been fixed. I have done everything I can do to fix your reputation Jade. Now stop spreading these rumors about yourself.

Back on topic: I really think that alt posting is different per the person posting. Some people can alt post responsibly, and some people just can't.
