General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

I think technically no one has been staff longer than 2016 bc even the ones that were before and after Smark bought the site, got removed from staff bc of the stupid ass admin that legit killed the site for a month or so

Bizarre and questionable decisions made in 2015. One man thought he could run the whole show.

I think Just Bring It was a Rock solo cover

 

[Barry Poppins]

I presume the Rock was on the cover of know your role?

He was on the cover of All of them except for HCTP

 

[Barry Poppins]

Brock Lesnar was the main face of that game for obvious reasons.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Maaan, now I kinda wanna run a HCTP series for WS.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Kinda like what I did with Shut Your Mouth

 

[Ricky Smarks]

no Ben was awesome he sold the site a couple years before smark bought it bc he had just had a kid and didn't have time anymore. It was Jay, who wasn't even the owner but was given ownerish powers by the dummy smark bought it from

Seems like Chris remembered the story pretty well. My only issue with Ben is why he sold it on a flipper site to a middle man named Josh I don’t know. It should have gone to someone here that built the place.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Yeah like imagine thinking it's a good idea to just fucking turn it offline for a period of time when he already had an established userbase for the most part. Lmfao

He didn’t even tell the owner. Who knows how long the site would have been offline if I hadn’t contacted Twitchy.

that I don't even know if I was aware of bc I remember it going from Ben to Twitchy, but in Ben's defense along with his irl responsibilities, Troy had also completely left him high and dry where they split the financials before

 

[Chris]

I think McHenry remembered a Josh tho so I probably just forgot

I only found out because Josh tried to buy it back from me to flip it again. He was the one who sold to Twitchy. Who didn’t even know forums well.

 

[Chris]

Twitchy had a lot of grand ideas that just weren't feasible for the site at the time, probably how Jay got in his ear bc he did too

 

[Chris]

It's like, we can't focus on trying YouTube or podcast content when we don't even have fucking active posters lol you have to be a forum first

Yeah, he seemed very well intended. I’m glad he got it and not Jay himself. He’s the reason I even have it now so I can’t badmouth him.
