I did hear those rumours before. That was shortly after it went down, though. Few months ago at least..
I saw this message a couple of weeks ago. I'm curious as to what it means. Even though I wasn't a member.
whats the sing up link :lol:
countdown for who??!!
why in hell i want to wait for a private tracker that i never saw :O
I've already had enough of elitist (for lack of a better word) cunts from there. Sure, some of the members are great people, and I actually enjoy talking to some of them. However, there's a lot of pointless elitism from some of their members. I was on IRC a few weeks ago, considering a friend of mine told me the announcement had just gone up, and some people (not going to drop names) had the audacity to tell me to get out if I had never been a member, like it was some sort of dickwad shrine.
P.S. I realize I made it sound like I was intruding, when in reality, I was and I wasn't. All I was doing was talking to my friend on that channel, popping jokes, enjoying the mood people were in and someone just blew their top off on me because they thought I shouldn't be there. I didn't ask any questions about FTWR, I didn't speak about FTWR, heck I didn't even say "yay it's coming back." I was just talking to a friend. Whatever.
That's a pity... they had really nice staff and members in general. It's very true that the channel has become filled with people who weren't ever members though... personally I frequented it for about a week before I got sick of "curious outsiders" showing up... kinda defeats the purpose. Not singling you about specifically, but I'm sure after dealing with hundreds of tards who were never members and probably showed up in the channel trying to get invited somewhere "1337", they've adopted a rather cynical viewpoint towards outsiders.
Speaking of "1337", I never really had that vibe from the site while it was up. If the perception of 1337ness can be blamed on anything, I'd say it's the idiotic WTAW levels, as usual.
On topic, at least two of their former staff have confirmed that they have no idea what the countdown is for or who set it up, so if the site is being restarted somehow it certainly isn't a united front. I suppose we'll wait and see what happens.
