I'd assume that if Crooked was assassinated, the bill for the server wouldn't be paid.
So you assume he doesn't have a wife? Or just a wife that doesn't support BF?
The only person I'm seeing on here that is willing to assassinate CF is SkuZZy.
I'll make sure to tell my brother to look for a guy named CrookedFoot, when he moves to Iowa.

We've had hacks and screwups thrown at us and it still lasts.

I can't predict when, but I hope it lasts after I leave for good for some time.

I want BF to be preserved in my heart. :)

I hope BF lasts till I can come back after I settle down. I hope most of you would still be here. It could be like one of those reunion thingies old people have.

It's going to last until SC, WC, D2, and CS become gay. They haven't yet..

What's funny and sad at the same time is..when I'm like 30..I'll be like.."hmm..I wonder if BF is still up.." and check..that's assuming I'm not still active..god damn by then I'll have a good 800,000 or more posts..lmao..

This forum is never gonna die, not even that 2 month downtime killed it. If a forum can live through 2 whole months of downtime, it can live through almost anything; you can be sure of that.

Compare BattleForums with, other big gamiing forums, what big difference do you see? If you answered: Their Forums aren't spam filled, you get a cookie.

Anyway, I think this place won't last. Chit-Chat's become so repulsive I can only stand being here for about half a minute. All the threads are stale. I'm guessing 1-2 years left until it's abandoned.

Pfft....I can't stand posers, and he was no exception. He even talked like he was a gansta. HE should have taken Jesus' place. Not Teddy.

That's why people still post in all 3 of those forums and there are around 60K+ per realm on a day for D2?

BF may not die, but the warcraft forums are already heading there. only one person si to blame for that, and it isn't really Forged. its you.

The basic rule of thumb I was always told was...
Most sites die within the first 6 months.
If they make it past 6 months and are still active, it's amazing.
If they make it to a year old, it's a miracle.

Considering the hacking, the Summitizing, and the ChrisUK downtime....
You are witnessing and participating in something well past unbelievable.

As for my life span being in question, don't worry, it will take something beyond natural causes to do me in.
Also, once we get past a few more minor hurdles I'm going to set up a will of sorts just in case so my wife can pass the place on to coRtALoS if something should happen.

I'd hate to go through eternity thinking that I convince Chris to dig the place out of the cyber garbage can just to have it get buried with me.

Managed to own these forums with as little activity from him as possible.
