I was just on the SWCombine IRC channel when someone said no one plays DF any more and, quote,

Who gives a damn about Bay12

Please help me by logging on to the following irc server/channel:
irc.swcombine.com
#swc-members
And tell them Trikk_Scanthar sent you. Ideally, we could all get on at the same time and spam the channel.
So, please help me prove someone wrong about DF.

So, so much wrong with this post. Nothing against you personally, tahu -- you seem like a good guy from what I've seen -- but, just for starters, how exactly is drafting a private army to disrupt an IRC channel going to convince anyone of anything save that Bay 12ers are self-important crybabies? Further, on the incredibly-remote chance that he is convinced of this forum's value by this, what then? Does anyone -- him, you, whoever -- stand to benefit from that?
    It's frustrating when others' opinions come into conflict with one's own, but this isn't how to solve it. In order to resolve a conflict like this, both parties must form an understanding of each other's reasoning, and I don't think that's what the guy in question is looking for.

I guess I didn't think this through thoroughly.

Still thought it through more than the Toa of Fire himself would have, though

DammitMata Nui, now you've gone and started up my fanboy rant.

Are we talking gen 1 Tahu, or Gen 3+ Tahu?

Doesn't matter. Come to think of it, you could be Vakama or Jaller and the result would be the same.

Not to beat a dead horse but I think the intent wasn't really spam the channel but bring forward but a small sampling of people who do in fact play DF to make a point that people do play it and the forum isn't some ghost town.

On the off chance they are convinced. they may well play it themself, and if they like it become involved in the community, and possibly even make a donation. You never know. If they remain unconvinced, then the group brought forward tried and can at least say that they made an attempt to enlighten someone without being assholes about it.

I just woke up though so I don't actually know what I'm talking about here.

Well, I did say spam the channel, but I don't think I was being serious. I can't really remember...

What about Lihkan? He was a fire Toa, too. And past gen 3, Tahu was really a more responsible leader.

Found this in somebody's sig on bzpower:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Keep in mind that if Star Trek fans had, as a group, said, "No point in talking about this anymore, it's never going to come back," it never WOULD have come back.
-- Greg Farshtey

Once Star Trek ended - pfft! - the network didn't care about it anymore, nobody cared about it anymore and it was the fans that kept it alive until finally someone turned around and said "You know what? There's a whole mess of people out there who like this. Let's do something with it again. It was a lot of years - a lot of years went by - before that happened. But if the fans shrug their shoulders and are like "Pfft! I don't care about this anymore and I'll just forget about it," then everybody else is going to forget about it, too. So the only people who - the Lego company can't do it - the only people who can keep the flame alive is the fans ... It's something only fans can do.

We're 30 months closer to Bionicle's return than we were when it ended!

Likhan was actually quite responsible come to think of it (for a Fire Toa), and I GUESS Tahu did get better... once the Rahkshi beat the everloving shit out of him, causing him to say the most emo line in the series ever.

I. HAVE. NO. DESTINY.

My quote actually came from Bionicle, though.

Now that I've been rereading the web serials, I've decided that my new favorite villain is Vezon.
