...the beginning of a forum which had more drama than Knux's, yeah...

I could say something but i won't. Best thing 2 avoid any drama is just not 2 post into or even better don't care about it.

The only good thing about SMBX:R was that it basically killed Cloud's Forum and NSMBX and gave power to reghrhre, making it easy to bring everyone back here.

Who doesn't enjoy me correcting people? No one specified that they did, except doomoocv who already requested me to stop and I did. Also, it was a joke, since I corrected Joey. He usually corrects me with my English and word choice, so I corrected him for once.

I really like how off-topic this thread is getting, too. Correcting people, discussing the merge, discussing Trekweb, Cloud's Forum, Knux's Forum, and NSMBX - this is about Supermarioman, if I recall correctly.

]well damn i just remembered i started the discussion about the merge, right?

The question is, who does enjoy you correcting people?

Pointing that out without saying anything relevant doesn't make you better.

Yes, but could you please refrain from using such small fonts without a real reason? Small fonts are fine, as long as they are still readable without copy and paste or quoting your post. It's pointless and annoying.

Man, i sure love these kind of threads so i can make dickish statements and going to play dota or smite afterwards and looking at braixen hentai while i'm dead.

So, let's see:
Supermarioman was pretty cool, and like ragont said, agtiger fucked shit up, then i made dumb as shit summarizations (idgaf if that word doesn't exist) about the topics in which both of them participated, which is how i became friends with igno and trinityflash

NSMBX forums were flat out retarded, i can't deny that knuxforums weren't better, but the difference is that i adjusted myself to knuxforums' asshole atmosphere, while NSMBX forums were filled with autistic 11 year olds, i also liked reghrhe as an admin more

2012 was the best year, i annoyed the fuck of the entire knuxforums staff (somehow i was still a mod?), then the sarge incident popped up, and that was the greatest, then my 13 year old hatred hormones popped out and i tried to crack SMM's password and failed hideously, then, a lot of time afterwards, i created SORA (yes, i was actually the one who made it), then i did some completely and really retarded shit with raster and michelfp at that moment, then knux got mad, and afterwards nobody gave a fuck about SORA.

good times

Nah NSMBX was pretty good. There may have been a lot of stupid people there, but, I mean, this is Knuxforums we're comparing it to. I know you're acknowledging that but still… NSMBX had a fair amount of intelligent people especially in the administration department, and was overall a lot more stable than Knux's ever was.

Also what the hell did SORA try to do anyways? I remember it was that anti-Knux conspiracy or whatever but what were your actual plans?

If I recall correctly, they wanted to make Knux lose his founder rights on his forums or something like that.

Excuse me if I sound superstitious on this one, but it kind of sounds like you were planning/expecting that to happen, as if that in no way was coincidental.
Also worth noting that SMBX:R is partially responsible for the near abandonment of Knux's forum on the grounds that SMBX:R's admins decided to close down their forum and join in with your forum(and in the very same case, Knux's), which ultimately led to Knux demolishing that forum as the end result. So basically you get roughly 92% percent of the remaining community(not counting SMBX Brazil or forums that do not speak english)

That was the goal, it was just executed in a way nobody (myself included) would've expected. You can't blame the destruction of this forum on the SMBXR staff, and my plans for this forum weren't developed until December 2013.

SORA was easily the darkest time this community has ever seen. More on that when the wiki opens.

actually the best thing about smbxr is that it's where i got power for the very first time. AND IT ONLY WENT UPHILL THEN DOWNHILL FROM THERE.

Mable · Postby **Mable** » Mon May 12, 2014 1:14 pm

The best thing in smbxr was when i got admin and banned everyone.

Banning Ignoritus was...I'm sorry, I can't type a coherent sentence with your avatar.

2013, the way I see it, was everyone having an outburst of opinion that was built up over the course of the community's history (mostly 2012). I guess it was cathartic, in a way, but it was still pretty nasty. I guess it's better to speak relatively though - it's not like any time in this community has been legitimately terrible and unenjoyable for everyone, but 2013 was definitely the least fun for me.

I agree. 2013 was characterized by the community going through a phase as stated by a few members within that year. Catharsis of said users did lead to progress for the SMBX community, some of those users who did speak up had a bigger impact than others. I can say that year is the darkest the community ever faced post-deletion of original SMBX forums.

Joey wrote:SORA was easily the darkest time this community has ever seen. More on that when the wiki opens.

Really? With all due respect, wasn't the series of merge attempts much darker events when it comes to what the SMBX community has seen than SORA? Users have been displaced from their forums and there was a lot of support/opposition. Some even left with all that drama going on. The merge attempts were very chaotic, and I am certain that the effects of those merge attempts are still felt today.

And um, as for if I remember SMM, I do, but I never talked to him. Though I wasn't a fan of his last few major decisions for NSMBX (putting reghrhre and Chad in a difficult position and selling out his forum with such apathy by supporting the merge with NSMBX and Knux's forum during the early summer of 2013, and the cancellation of SMB:R.), I kept silent about this till now considering that people in this thread are talking about 2013 for this community as well.

Knux wrote: It wasn't a case of who was right or not, it was a case of morals. Morals that reghrhre later threw out the window.

I wouldn't entirely blame reghrhre for all that happened. Neither side of the administration of your forum and SMM's forum were acting with total benevolence to the users now that Im thinking about it.

I'd say that the events surrounding the (first) merge were a lot more damaging to the community than SORA ever was. SORA was just a group of anti-Knux idiots trying to commandeer the forum and, you know, they failed. The first merge actually caused a bunch of people to leave the community and overall split the community into two groups that still exist today: Knuxforums people, and not Knuxforums people. That distinction wasn't as pronounced before that.

Everyone who went to NSMBX exclusively clearly enjoyed the atmosphere. I say this as someone who lurked the forums on and off since late 2010 and didn't feel comfortable in the community until I joined NSMBX in 2012. We all, at some point, should contend with the fact that some forums are just run differently and that it doesn't mean that they suck; it just means they're for different people. I liked NSMBX and I like this forum. Can't say much about SMBXR objectively for being a part of the staff, but I can say I think I learned a lot about how I personally feel sites like these should be run—it doesn't mean I go running over to Knux to try and bash his methods, nor do I particularly try to bash Joey's.

Joey wrote:SORA was easily the darkest time this community has ever seen. More on that when the wiki opens.

I expect you'll merely be providing the facts and letting people form their own opinion?

Anyway,
Supermarioman was cool, his involvement in a betrayal notwithstanding. It's too bad we'll never get to see his project finished.

Not really. The reason why SORA was so bad was that it showed everyone that Knux had no plans to step down (despite people providing valid reasons as to why he should) and wouldn't budge whatsoever. Not a real fun time in my life personally, so that could contribute to my opinions as well.

The first merge attempt (or it's failure) was good because it prevented Knux from controlling both sides of the community. The second merge was good because, like I said, it got rid of both NSMBX and Cloud's forum without giving any more power to Knux.

And it's not the staff's fault if people get butthurt over moving forums (let alone leaving the community because of it) - I can't think of any valid anti-merge reasoning (unrelated to who is in power, just merging itself) that was ever presented.
