In the past eight months that I have been on TK I have mostly lurked on E and posted on SB, and in that time I have seen 2 posts on SB that were about E...one was one where somebody asked about what the hell happened between SB/E/Heels/Off Boards/BoardWar/etc and the answered received was a very basic explanation more or less saying that if they didn't know the players it didn't really matter and that they didn't want that drama on SB. The second was last week after FFF where there was some 'talking around the subject' regarding certain E regs.

Honestly, I feel like other than those two times SB never really ever talks about E, probably with good reason.

I don't necessarily think there are more posts on E about SB but there are certainly a lot more about the 'board war' and a lot more negativity with regards to specific posters.

But again, this is just my opinion, which I realize, holds no weight on E, hence why I rarely if ever post here.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Hey Guys! : That's what I find laughable too. Sb doesn't go around going "Omg E blah blah blah" and neither does E. Maybe at the very beginning but not recently and no more than each board talks about other boards (like locals or CC).

Which is why I asked about it. And no one can tell me anything about it, but it still ends up on KPS and now the new site. So really, W.T.F.

And honestly, I had seen it on SB, a LOT (again, for the few times I went there. I stopped going there because EVERY Thread I opened included, "Oh I can't wait to see THIS discussed on E tomorrow" or some variant of that or "I wish they'd drop the board war," both equally obnoxious).

Which is why I asked about it here. Because I was really really tired of the underhanded BS remarks on SB. It WOULD seem that at this point the board war was only in the minds of SB since no one on E even knew about it or cared about it and we think it's a bloody joke.

But, you know. It still shows up on KPS and all.And apparently who gets the most posts wins. Hello, childish.

jasmineh7777 · August 2010

If we're going by most posts today about it, SB really fails.

Anyway, I'm usually posting to either answer a question, or have a conversation with a poster that I like. If I'm feeling really wild, I'll start a poll.

That was weeks and maybe even months ago. Besides, it was true. There were threads on E quite often making fun of stuff on SB. And that's fine, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but let's not pretend it never happened or that it was totally baseless to say "Oh boy, they're going to make fun of this on E tomorrow."

katiewhompus · August 2010

Eh, I must not be seeing those threads then. There's an occasional "did you see this on E" but there are also a bunch of "Did you see this on CC/Local/Whatever" so I don't read too much into it. I think people are just super zoned on the letters SB and E and hyper-sensitive because of what used to be.

Pretty sure the same sentiment applies on SB. I can't speak for everyone, though. Like I said, board war is just easier than saying huge acronym above.

Posted by goheels05[/QUOTE]

Regardless of when it was, that is my memory of the situation. It's why I stopped going there and why my only frame of reference is that.

I asked about the board war weeks ago. There was no real answer. So it turned into a joke here.

Which, apparently, is just continuing the board war, if the kps is to be believed.

Which once again brings me back to WHAT BOARD WAR????

So, I'm just banging my head against the wall and apparently this entire thread is just extending the board war or winning post number wars or some fuucking ridiculous thing.

Posted by ohwhynot[/QUOTE]

Why wouldn't I be bothered by it? I answered this once before. I like E. I like the people here, and the people who chose to stay here.

So when I saw posts on SB that were like that about a place and people I liked, it rubbed me the wrong way.

Just like if I was sitting having coffee with someone and they started saying that IT at our company sucked. Or that any group of people I identified with sucked.

I also saw it as unfairly judging this entire board and extending the situation then claiming it was E extending the situation.

Underhanded, whiny and childish, really. Why would I be happy with a board like that and why would I stay?

No, I get it. I really do. I even thought making fun of it all was funny. But it's self-indulgent and off base to think that E regs are the only ones who use the term "board war" in jest.

And it shows up because who ever creates it knows that it will start drama. If we would all just ignore it, the people making this stuff will get bored and stop.

And I really do believe that this boardwar crap is all just a matter of perception. I'm usually directed to E when the SB / E talk heats up again, so it seems to me as if a lot of the talk on E is about this stupid non existent boardwar. Now, I'm certain that 99% of the threads on E are not about this stupidness, but since I'm only looking at a few threads, that shapes my perception. Which is, I'm sure, how the perceptions of SB were shaped for many of you. And those perceptions (on both sides) happen to be very inaccurate.
