It is always a sad thing when someone is banished from somewhere. For those of you that do not know, banishment is when someone is told that they have to leave somewhere and never return. I know what it is like to be banished. I was a very happy and contributing member of another gaming website for a long time *cough*GAMERNOOK*cough* When the site recently fell into a perpetual state of adolescence, I went ahead and pissed off the wrong person (some young punk that they made a moderator).
You see this other site has a built in chatroom. I was in there one late night and left myself in there while I went to prepare dinner one night. Apparently someone took my silence in the chatroom as an insult and sent me many vulgar messages in my inbox. You know "Your mom is a horse," "You smell like cabbage," "Your mother uses Macintosh," the classics. So I retorted with my own message and long story short, the banhammer was dropped on me. I got banned for making a sandwich and defending myself. Classy stuff huh.
I have spent the last couple of days searching for a new place to call home. I have heard about the community here at Giant Bomb and heard that it is much more sophisticated and mature the many other gaming sites. I am looking to make this place my new home so I hope that the rumors about the community are true. I'm going to spend the next couple of hours perusing the site and getting to know where everything is. Hopefully I'll get to know some of you very soon. If I like what I see here, I'll post an about me soon.
