The End of NationStates?

[Personal Freedom]

For all the troubled minds.

Alternatively the servers could go down and nobody cares.

I'm done.

I dunno. I am but a pilgrim seeking knowledge and finding nothing but reality programming.

Ah, you should've said that first. Your biolink must be dirty.

Truthfully now: NS has it's problems, but what site doesn't? I am grateful to this site because in it I've met wonderful people. Hell, I even met the love of my life here. I've made lasting friendships. So all in all, it balances out. At least for me.

My only real friends are on this site since I'm too unsociable IRL.

From what I'm learning so far....even the Mods must be just as insane like the rest of NSG...

That sounds like a dangerously level-headed assessment, so I'm sure there's some forum bylaw that requires me to mention fascists.

Ook ook! Nazis! Ook! (with apologies to Stonekettle Station)

How is this not Godwin's law?

What about National Bolshevists? They're always fun, particularly because they sound like a Monty Python gag.

Can you just stop talking about godwin's law
people stopped caring about that eight years ago

Isn't Godwin the likelihood of Hitler being mentioned in an internet discussion? Not Nazi?

NO! I'll never join your evil plan! I haven't lost all my sanity in NSG yet.

I'm sure they're here, watching, waiting, lurking. However, aside from Andaras Prime (RIP), I don't recall encountering any Bolshies around. And AP was more of a die hard Commie than a Bolshie so, maybe that wasn't a good example. :/

But he was mentioned! At least twice.

I wish that was so. I really, really, REALLY wish that was so. And I really wish people would stop saying Godwin, as if that was so way to end an argument.

It's funny when people say things along the lines of "You violated Godwin's Law". It's a scientific law, not a law you can violate, but people don't seem to get it.

Yes, but I think both times was the result of you mentioning Godwin. Not as a natural occurrence.

You just mentioned Hitler. And so did I.

People can actually violate Godwin's law?

No, Personal Freedom made a fake quote from Adolf Hitler, and mentioned his name.

Godwin's law states that somewhere in an internet discussion, someone will be compared to Hitler. Mentioning Hitler in and of itself is not Godwin's law.

Nananakabananaland? Oi, you are old Kitty Cat Meow. I remember those rumors. And the not-nearly-so-interesting-as-some-claimed kerfluffle that went with some of it. Muahaha. Not a goram mod at the time. Still amazed at the blatant show of ... well, we'll leave that in ze past. Where it belongs. Yep.

In any case, anyone who doesn't remember the ORIGINAL forums, simply hasn't been around long enough to have seen it all, and thus, their opinions, by nature, are somewhat lacing in background. Bah gawd, we had to refresh and refresh and refresh just to get a one-liner response in. And sometimes, it'd glitch and post it multiple times! Like more than 3! Many multiples! And the game would clog. And the lag would be horrible. And we would sit glued to our screens waiting for a response and then LEAP at the chance to respond in kind. Wash, rinse, repeat. I won't even get into The Great Purge. I'm still bitter over that. And if anyone mentions the name of a particular crater, states that they want us to 'talk to their father' about their ban, or get into how things are flat on top, for stealth, I've a pillow here with your face slated for it.

Oh, and IReJ? This thread isn't about you. Try not to make yourself the topic. Or Hitler for that matter. Protip and all that.

Godwin's law states that somewhere in an internet discussion, someone will be compared to Hitler. Mentioning Hitler in and of itself is not Godwin's law.

So eventually someone is going to be compared to Hitler?
