Why Are There So Few Japanese Apolytoners?

Q Cubed is Korean, but he hasn't been on for awhile.


Andy,

I am not a Korean BTW I think Rogan Josh is German. He doesn't seem to be a gamer though.

Rogan Josh is Scottish, used to live in Germany but currently resides in south east France, near the Swiss border.

I always wondered how they came up with "U R a gay tw*t" when the original phrase is "UR is a gay tw*t"

[Immortal Wombat]

In HARDMAN's first post, he actually wrote out in full "you are all gay twatz" instead of "u r"

[Ecthy]

That post was actually a lurking one. I intended to find out who around is geeky enough to remember the original hardman post. It should have been obvious.

[Immortal Wombat]

remember it?
God no. My registration date is the first time I entered the world of Poly/ACOL/owo and I was not even online in June '99 when HARDMAN appeared. I merely learned the legend quickly, and recently.

I don't recall HARDMAN on ACS. IIRC he haunted only ACOL.

[DarkCloud]

I think he visited Apolyton- it would be fairly inevitable since ACOL likes to attack forums

Mark probably permabanned him; (just like he did at Top40.com's forums )

[Immortal Wombat]

HARDMAN has visited almost every forum every noticed by any of the former ACOLytes. And that's quite a few. Even the S Club 7 US forum has been "HARDMANed".

Adam Smith, how dare you forget itokugawa! Of course, he has forgotten us… profile says last post was in 1999.

[TCO]

I don't mind the short responses if they are witty. the really and obvious pcr ones, become annoying.

Wombat, my posts are rarely short except when I am chatting. And that is usually only on the OT, nowadays. Check out my posts on CBR.

[Immortal Wombat]

yes. Good CBR posts

AFAIK, Japanese is the second-most used language on the Internet after English (possibly only contended by German). But I also think they mostly keep to themselves, on Japanese sites

The Internet has changed during the past three years. Originally people thought that English would be the dominant language, but now the Internet has spread and divided into a multilingual universe. The Japanese, or any other non-English language group, would naturally prefer to talk in their native language. Hence the absence of Japanese people from these forums.

S club 7 US forum? What's that?
ACOLYtes seem to have gotten lax in recent years however, I provided them with several opportunities at Counterglow, then when they didn't take it, I decided to hardman up the site myself

I didn't get banned, but my posts were deleted

itokugawa!

Wow. Even I remember him I feel old-
His last post at the Civ II universe branching forums was sometime July-Sept 2000, after conversing and sharing ideas for a time, he left, then I discovered Sidgames, registered, finally decided (after a year) to register at Apolyton after I found I liked Sidgames but that Sidgames was dying,,, and here I am
