Offline		 SO doesn't have any users to show off a suicide for, or any users at all. And most people love Onion.

Offline		 Wow, Ant P got mad because I commented on his 100-registered-users spinoff. How hypocritical of you! You don't see me crying over your banal comments on whiteFyre, do you? Don't be such a pussy.

Offline		 Hmm..Well, you must admit uG...A spin-off with 10 smart useful users is better than one with 150 retarded users.
You've even said it yourself, wF is only good for PHP coding now.
SO is still a smart and fun spin-off.

Online		 wF is the AOL of spinoffs.
You can have a million times as many users as me for all I care, it'll still be retarded.

Offline		 Again with the wF comments! Goddamn.
I never said wF was good, and that doesn't even relate to anything I've posted above.

Those 10 "smart useful" users are found at every spinoff. And if SO is such a smart and fun place, why isn't it so popular?
Please. That place is more of a semi-active shoutbox than a set message boards.

Offline		 Similar to what Jay said, all spinoffs are pathetic excuses for communities. And please, if you're going to bash a spinoff, look at yours first and try to realize how much it sucks.

Offline		 *looks at Gensou*

It actually doesn't suck... it has 76 users where most of them have never been to another spinoff. They don't even realise the hell that is in the others.

why isn't it [Special Ops] so popular?
It is. Just that all the retards get banned.

Offline		 Well, admittedly, what I said does relate.
Just purge wF, you know it has the potential to be good.

Offline		 And almost nobody knows you for anything BUT wF.
wF is basically you, like SO is Ant, AT0 is Onion, etc etc.
Each owner is reallly the spin-off if you get what I mean.
Not many people know Onion for his ATL Source, FTPHP(Erl?), or GF Clone. Mostly just for AT0. Same goes for you. Not many know of PHProxy, and even if they do, they still consider you to be wF, meaning when insulting you, wF comes into play, just like SO comes into play when insulting Ant P.

Online		 Y'know usually I'd just ignore wF, but pretending to shut them down then reopening them as if nothing happened, just so you can watch your retarded users make orgasm topics about their userlevels... is pathetic. As pathetic as Raijin.

Offline		 I'm impressed, uG actually said what I've thought for the longest time.

all spinoffs are pathetic excuses for communities

The ones that were good, were great, were populated, and so forth because of the demand for them. Because of people wanting to be somewhere to converse, to belong.

This is true for GameFAQs and it's boards. At first, people flocked to GameFAQs for the FAQs, and stayed much longer for the boards (the actual community). Now most people just go to GameFAQs for the boards because they wandered in.

Nowadays, people just don't care. Yes, spinoffs are needed to converse, but there isn't much to converse. There isn't much to talk about. There isn't much of anything on spinoffs. Sure the quality of the boards themselves kick ass, but the quality of the people as a whole, that's questionable because just a few people aren't very interesting.

Also, people don't really care because GameFAQs gets the job done. Or they aren't really looking for a community to look to, or when they find one they feel out of place and don't really know what to contribute.

Etc

I may be wrong on this, so it's best to probably not take me seriously.

Offline		 The closure of whiteFyre was for real, so was the reopening. There's no pretension here.

And why do you care if I close and reopen my boards and how does that stand as pathetic?

Ant P saw it as just a ploy to rustle the dust, if you will. Something to brew up excitement and conversation. A marketing idea to gather activity and attention.
