This thread is what happened right after the omm forum was killed and it doesnt explain much but is a fun read.

Fuck, remember that? Looking back at that thread, I wish I had been funnier. I guess I gotta be happy with getting in the second post and being not exciting like Buzz Alrdrin. Scooping conflitNo on that reply to "Kumquatxop" was pretty sweet, however.

Having "vague_hit" speak on behalf of the OMM forumites was the exact opposite of sweet.

Anyway, Chet's more candid reasoning for why he got fed up can be found in this Quarter to Three thread which Dunc starts off most excellently by saying that he can't find an emoticon sad enough. Later in the thread Dunc offers to buy the data, but there is no response, so I don't think it'll happen. I blame Stepto for distracting Chet.


That was the thread that clued me into the planethate forums. Until I saw that I didn't know you guys had headed over there. The last post in that thread is by me, under the name LP.

Now that I've had some time to think about it, I'm pretty irritated. Chet, who admits he never used the forums at the end, calls them a soap opera. He apparently has never seen the SA forums. But maybe I can't blame him for lumping the regulars in with the idiot spammers since he wasn't paying attention. And if OMM was just a big fucking target for assholes to attack, then it's for the best that it's not around anymore.

I still find it hard to believe that he was getting that much shit from a forum so much smaller than POE's.
