That one I don't mind... as long as it's IBonk singing. That guy sings like a PRC opera. Power!
The power of the internet should not be underestimated. That said, the power of the internet is very often
overestimated. Everyone knows that the internet is full of so-called experts speaking their opinions as if they were accepted facts. It's a bad idea to take anything on the internet too seriously. Anyone can have a blog nowadays. Anyone can be an expert.
And like you said before, big players would not be on this forum talking cock. They would be busy spending big money at HFJs. So even if people are actually silly enough to take the internet too seriously, I really don't see how SBF is going to affect any HFJ's business.
That is also very untrue and misleading. I know people who have registered their nick since 2000 and still act like bloody newbie. Because they only read, they don't experience things firsthand. They take all the boasting and tuapao of the so-called seniors on this fucking forum so seriously because they have no actual experience to fall back on.
And come on... years of existence equals maturity and reliability meh? It's usually the seniors who create clones because they're afraid of losing their points. It's usually the seniors who organize gang zapping. Newbie need clone one meh? Newbies got power to zap meh? Trust me, most of the childish antics on the forums are carried out by people who have registered far longer than you or I.
I owe no respect to people by their join date. I am only impressed by people I have met, especially those who don't try to impress me.
Sorry, I know I'm very boring when I'm serious
