Mr. Basil just didn't want private server discussion, any of it. We're pro-ps to a certain degree.

hmm...
makes sense... though i like to tout myself as an excellent wordsmith. i think we're just too cool to get banned.

Being a wordsmith gives our identities away. :[

Well anyway, I never knew trolling was fun.
And in an attempt to keep this thread un-locked, what were your impressions when you first came to SP?

I still remember how exciting it felt to do something out of my code-of-conduct way of living. But Fiel was too amazing to even have doubts in.
And I admired Fiel for managing to establish a community well-moderated via mutual respect. It was/is an achievement.

It's censored because I believe this site is affiliated with SW.net.

Win.

how it felt to first come to SP?

well...
nothing. o-o
"oh, hey, look, a new forum to spread my darkness unto and try to rule ov--OMG, WRITERS CORNER!"
literally.

and customizable views? win. im using that dark side of alchemy one, sheer win. i didnt have any "ooh noes, dis is forbidden gwounds" thoughts, nor "this is a utopian eden-esque shangri-la for such a refugee as me!" just... it was another forum. o-o

This generation of Basilers doesn't remember me, or they'd know I'm smarter than that thread...

Anyways, at first it was hard to get my bearing, everything here was so technical and refined vice the type of threads I was used to. I went from being one of the smartest people on a forum to...well, a lot lower. It took me a while to take in all the new knowledge and be able to speak on an even footing with everyone.[/COLOR]

*feeling that now. i went from one of the brightest light bulbs in the box to a light bulb shining against a flood light...*
but, again, i didnt come here for knowledge, its just a perk. o-o deep down, im really apathetic and ignorant to things i dont want, but im open and aware enough to accept and take interest in things im not used to.

on a side note, kal, remember me at all? does a priest sitting in ludi talking to random people, people watching ring any bells?

When I first joined SP I was still part of the PlayPark forums. Yes, I used Singlish and all. (Oh, the horror! ) But SP has helped me to refine my English, so I'm happy for that.

And no, I had no reason for joining SP. It just happened.

OMG ITZ YOU!!! Wait, who are you again?

Unless you were one of those L > DK for Himes priests, nope.
I didn't have the pleasure of meeting with that many literate people on Maple anyway.

I'd take blind shots in the dark anyway............ nope, nothing comes to mind. :zzz:

Not-off-topic:

I concur this.

i was the OPPOSITE of those priests. id sit there, and tell priests "you just missed the dk's," or the dk's "ooh, sorry, you just missed the priests." and when the dk's asked me to train, i told them "i cant hime, i lag."

I think I remember that.
Was your ign... something something?

Kaj is close

Here's the basic gist of it:
--Fiel was the main guy for extractions at sw.net. Adura noticed this, and asked for Fiel's extractor program. Fiel refused.
--Then Adura started questioning whether Fiel was involved in PSes (he perma-banned anyone that admitted to being involved in PSes at the time, dunno about now). He told Adura that he was (FlowsionMS) but had since quit. Adura responded with something like, "I suppose current change of mind is better than current involvement."
--Fiel, not wanting Adura up his ass for everything, decided to start up Southperry and changed all of his threads to ads for Southperry knowing full well that those posts would be deleted (Thanks Adura! Followed my plan perfectly.)
--Fiel established sp.net, and it was an MS forum with the extra perk of showing raw extraction data.
--Since many sp.netters were former sw.netters, a lot of references and localized memes specific to sp.net were leaked into sw.net. Adura obviously did not like this, and did what he did with any other unapproved website: blacklisted and censored it, and declared their mentioning illegal.

Wow... I never knew the whole story.
All I knew was that Fiel exiled from Sleepywood due to an argument to Adura or something.

Adura calls us "The Banished" and Fiel "The Banished One". If you search hard enough you'll be able to dig out old threads poking fun at SW, but I guess those won't be appearing anymore due to the new Forum Bashing infraction.

Yes, Fiel doesn't want us bashing SW, yet Adura still hates us. Irony.

Speaking of which, I got banned when I opposed the views of these threads.

(Thanks Adura! Followed my plan perfectly.)

Oh you diabolical you

Is that Basil thread still alive?

Edit: Haha, yes.

s-perry mr basil blocke it as its like basil market forum but has alot of adds

I lol'd @ this

What was the point of that fight anyway? it's not like a wz extractor is something that rare and precious.

At the time it was because not many people could crack the newer encryption on the wz files.

Also, I had it explicitly in my sig that I would not give out any decrypter or decryption methods. Adura then decided to ask me for it. Belligerent much? Then when I told him no, he started talking about trust issues and asking if I was a part of private servers, etc.. It got stranger by the day.

He's just jealous because he couldn't spend an hour every day for 6 months to crack the whole thing by himself from ground zero.

Besides, it was hella fun watching my friend do it, and I learned a lot =D

I used to post on SW alittle, way back in the beta days and early Global, mostly the marketplace. I was clumsy, slipped up thrice despite carefully reading the rules (or so I thought), and was banned. Oops? :f6:

On a whim I decided to look up Southperry at Google. Found this place. Saw Isaac here as a mod, which for some reason struck me as "this will be a good forum" (Is Isaac's thread about the story in MS still stickied at SW? I haven't bothered to make another account to check...) Also saw Magus/LordKatz as a mod here. Decided to sign up and commence lurking 90% of the time.

I really, really like this place, and not just for the extractions. This community is more my style... a shame I never really have anything meaningful to say.

i know what you mean, this is a much nicer forum.
I got banned 3 times peremantly on sleepywood for really stupid reasons.

i don't truly remember when was the first time i came to SP , i think it was back when the pirate info was being let out of testing in kms . i didn't really like SW to much, ( way to big of a community, some of the site back then seems vary complex , and i good thing i found SW good for was trying to get me a z helm from a group). now I'm not saying i hate SW but i wasn't a vary big fan of it . As for basil , well i kind of liked it and some what used it for forums . The only major thing that kept and still keeps me there is the buying and selling they have . the forums from what i can remember back then, was immature , and even now it still immature . i only go there ever now and then to look for things like training areas and other stuff like that . I've always had a "good " feeling about SP , its not to big , yet not to immature and have people posting things like " pic or it didn't happen" and other posts like that. another advantage it has was the extractions , i always liked seeing the extractions and thought it was a great thing to have .

I'm sorry if i got off task writing about my ideas , and views on SP. i did know that there was some drama between Sp and SW , i cant seem to remember where/when i found this out. but i do remember telling a friend how fiel was band from doing extractions and SW and made SP .

I forgot I even had a basil account.

...Might as well mange to get banned....
