The last warning!

[Qwerty]

You don't remember HowWorkGun, HeavyDelta, Cowace and Killjoy2000? Buzzdaradeeotwa? Milo Morai? Around 1999/2000?

Today's Ubi board is like a gentleman's club compared to the idiocy and flaming those lunatics unleashed. No wonder the chief moderator, Stormin Norman, resigned (from the Ubi payroll). Actually, many people found his manner quite offensive, so perhaps he was to blame as well.

Skychump, Isegrim/Kufurst and all the rest were just bit-part players back then - the support act.
It was the miscreants named above who set the unfortunate tone at Ubi several years ago - and it has never changed since.

Note to Evgeny - it's a good idea to start as you mean to go on.

I was there .... That was what got me ionto forums..LMAO.. the old PL.. but the Gulf war put an end to that if you recall... I agree with you....

Yup... The pilot's loungs disappearing was not a very smart move. They effectivly got rid of a trashcan, so all the trash in the other forums piled up.

BTW, I think Stormin Norman was some kind of community builder or something like that. You saw him in a number of other forums of new UBIsoft games. After the first few months, he resigns from the forum (When the game is no longer commercially attractive??) and let the lesser community managers take over. But that is just a theory. After that came Cartrix I believe. He was an allright chap

[1.JaVA_Sharp]

IIRC Carl Norman wasn't a community manager like Cartrix was. He was more of a producer of games. (one of his last games was destroyer command IIRC) I think he more or less resigned from the forum(s) because of either private reasons or business interest.

and yeah, the pilots lounge going boom wasn't very smart at all.

[Hellcat]

Ah yes, Stormin Norman the UBI doorman.

Mucho arsehattery and teeth gnashing back then.
The birth of the BlitzPigs. It changed my life.

[Loco-S]

Me believes certain poster over here has opened Pandora's box summoning the old Pilots lounge spirits, good luck..he he he

PS, zero tolerance for trolling sounds good in principle, lets see how it goes.

[BP_Jagger]

I say ban the Blitzpigs,
then again,
Oleg is an Honorary Blitzpig, even if he doesn't know it........

Then again, is it an honor (?)....hmmmmm

[Seafireliv]

Now how did I get here?

[Qwerty]

It wasn't all bad. There was a lot to laugh at, even though it wasn't supposed to be a comedy forum.
Remember Smokejaguar? He was a nice guy as I recall and a decent moderator - he used to post scans of his weird gothic pencil sketches. Quite sexy some of them. I think he was a Scot.
Then there was Subnubilus, HowWorkGun's son. He wanted to join the marines I believe - wonder how he got on? Is he back with his dad in Hawaii after doing three tours of the gulf? Cowace was also a soldier, wasn't he? Real name Captain Marvel - IIRC (!).
Killjoy was a headcase from the UK who wanted to be a soldier or a games developer - the mind boggles.
Then there was a wheelchair-bound Dutch guy called Jaapverdujin who used to include strange typos in his posts when his cat walked across the keyboard.
Only other name I recall from those halycyon days is Erugifog. I can't remember anything about his posts, but I still find that name drifting through my mind. Where did he get it from? What does it mean?

Ah nostalgia...snapshots of people's lives brought to you courtesy of the internet.
