PoE Wank
It's gotten bad at the Portal of Evil. Bad enough to leave. What was once dark-roasted FUNY with a few Folger's Crystals of stupid has turned into a premium blend of pure idiocy. There's more wanking in the forums now than there is mocking, and it's sad. But thank Todd for fandom wank! It gives me hope where all is darkness.

When things go all bad like this, you want to find the straw that broke the x-rated fursuiter's back. The point of no return. I can faithfully say that that straw [or point] is PoEcon II.

PoEcon is a time for all friends of evil to gather together and get drunk in the woods. It is a time of comraderie, of putting all those nasty flame wars behind you and having a good time. There has been a grand total of one PoEcons, and the 2nd is coming up. Last year, some people couldn't come. Last year, that was okay. This year, if you do not attend PoEcon II, you are a great big coward who doesn't know what fun is and should set your priorities straight.

In this thread, Alienjack asks for people to confirm registration. Then he cancels PoEcon III. 226 posts ensue. High points: if your aunt gets in a serious wreck, you should still go to PoEcon. Alienjack posts messages about the whole fiasco in every single active forum. Also, Nevervoid2000 asks how this stuff was managed in the PoEcons of yesteryear, because surely there must have been so many, what with this year's being PoEcon II.

Wank ensues in the form of Flash. Everyone agrees they hate Nevervoid. Then more voices of dissent appear. 231 posts.

Also, somewhere in here, Shmibbon stalks Nick C for years to find out his last name. And Mr Burble is Captain Obvious and has been pulling the most elaborate troll on the forums we think since ever. Or maybe he isn't. I can't tell anymore, and I'm not diving back into this ocean of fecal matter again.

Goodbye PoE. I'll miss you.

I knew I should have wanked that when it was still fresh.

Although, admittedly that flash was funny.

Oy...I have no idea why I stayed around so long--the AJ kerfluffle should have been impetus for me to get the hell out of there, if anything else.

Um ok...that was my first time at that site, so lemme ask a question...is this alienjack guy the like, owner of the place? And is he always so fucking rude in his posts?

I am really fucking disgusted with the way this went this year. The response was miserable because damn near everybody here is all talk and no action. I guess I should have expected as much, but I held out hope that this year would be different. The party will be a blast, I assure you, but once again I will spend myself broke pulling it off, only to hear the SAME LAME FAGGOT FUCKING EXCUSES FROM A BUNCH OF MISERABLE PUERILE SHITHEADS AS LAST YEAR as to why they're not coming.

I am super cool and i'm gonna host this most bitchin party ever but you guys who might actually have something better to do with your lives will never know because you're a bunch of fucking losers!! Or something.

The best ones are the ones who cried to me about the location. Most of the people who are coming are traveling vast distances to do so; far further than most of the pussies whom I hear crying because IT'S NOT IN THEIR FUCKING BACKYARD. FUCK YOU, PRIMADONNAS. FUCK YOU FOREVER UNDER A PILE OF SHIT AT THE BOTTOM OF A LANDFILL. HAVE YOUR OWN POECON AT YOUR HOUSE AND RENT A MOONWALK AND BARNEY THE DINOSAUR YOU WORTHLESS ASSHOLES. YOU KEEP WAITING FOR NEXT TIME BUT NEXT TIME ISN'T COMING BECAUSE YOU WAITED. CONGRATULATIONS, FUCKFACE.

Gee, excuse the hell out of people who don't want to spend their last dollar traveling across the country to attend your little party.

Though, i don't know why anyone would WANT to party with this person, considering how nasty they are.

And that post is the furthest i've gotten so far. Baby Jesus help me.

And your questions are answered.

  1. Who is the owner of PoE? A guy by the name of Chet. He's been rearing his head around the forums less and less often, though.
  2. Is Alienjack always that much of an asshole? Yes. Yes. Yes.
  3. Is PoE a fountain of wank? It wanks about as much as UJ does. However, it's more of the "endless flamewar" variety and less of the "pseudointellectual faggery" kind.

Well, I usually like AJ's assholeness, because it's usually quite funny. But for the past month, it's been very NOT funny.

What's so sad is that the place is supposed to be a giant flame war, yet it turned into this very sad ball of unfunny infighting. Hell, infighting at poe used to be funny. Now it's old crowd vs new crowd vs con crowd vs extremely obsessed furries, and nothing good ever comes of it.

Missing Imari. ;_;

Chet and Kthor run PoE. AJ's one of the major regulars. What's weird is that usually he is a swell guy, but the con thing apparently happened while he was majorly PMSing.

Now I remember why I only read the PoE-news forums.

Your icons make me giggle a little on the inside.

Okay, I lied. They make me laugh like the hyena I am on the inside *and* outside. XD

I love Slayers fandom! Whooo!

It's a comment made by my good buddy Irony-chan during the mother of all Xellia... Nay, all Slayers wank!

Ahhh, those heady days of Xellia-dom, with GUTB trolls and Micheal the Dead Red Priest. How I do miss thee. *sniffles* *one tear* :')
