Do you start your dates by saying "My last girlfriend dumped me"?

Not trying to be rude, but why do we always get the people that were banned from some other site?

We're not a daycare or a trash dump, so why do people come here?

Anyway, welcome I guess.

 Religion and online forums always end in a horrific car wreck...and that car is filled with shit.

I hope you at least learned to stay away from the flame war of all flame wars.

@charliesheen22: Just don't post in any religious threads (which there aren't many, really) and everything will be fine.

I just don't understand how anyone reasonable would be banned from a forum.


Unless they did something unreasonable...

Well, the way I see it they did you a favor. You're banned from a shitty site and now you're here on GiantBomb, arguably the best videogame website in existence. Oh, it's also one of the rare communities (my experience) that isn't filled with fanboys and where it is possible to discuss like civilised people.

Not sure what kind of response you expected with a completely self-serving thread as your first entry to the site.  You would of been much better off by just posting in the welcome forum and starting anew.

Being banned from an online forum is not a badge of honor.  You should not relish in it.

I dunno, being IP banned from 4chan is a feat very few can pull off, and that ends up being a badge of honor.

Don't try to worry to much dude. We get gamespot users complaining about how their banned and forced to move here because of it all of the time. Just gets a bit annoying when you see it every other week. Welcome though and we're not assholes really :P

If you're spending your time trying to get yourself banned from 4chan you have bigger things to worry about.

Getting banned from 4chan usually ends up with the FBI knocking at your door.

@charliesheen22: Most people at Giant Bomb will welcome you if you seem excited about the site or games, but saying that you're here because you got banned from another site... well that's like going into an interview and saying you want this job because you got fired from your old one.

FYi most of the discussions here aside from food tends to be about games, if you want to really go nuts on religion, try ICQ or some sites which are religiously themed that would gladly welcome the religious discussion. If you start that here or I suspect other gaming/entertainment sites you will probably get banned as religion & politics are such a subjective issue that hardly anyone tends to agree completely with anyone else.

I should go get my old Gamespot account banned.


It's not like I'm ever going to use it again.
