Members Revisited: Shooter

[Bond]

I believe Shooter left shortly before or after I joined GT. I know there is a lot of anger / hate toward him from past and present members.

So, in that light, what was Shooter like? Why do so many people dislike him? Is he the anti-christ?

[Fox 6]

Now I am curious as well.

[Bube]

I've never had any problems with him, and never understood why people hated him so much. I know some stuff happened in private, but all I saw on the forums were the anger messages. I have no idea what that was about..

[Professor S]

Can we show any examples? I remember the name, but I don't recall the incidents you're mentioning.

[Bond]

Here are two old threads I found:

That second thread was hilarious. I didn't come to GT until 2 months after that, so I only heard about it. Wish I could help toward figuring out what happened.

[Dylflon]

Certain GT members were angry kids! Wishing death over the internet.


Does anybody remember when Rndm Perfection started being all mean and crazy?

LOL, nice visit to the past. I remember E_Petit (or Ravishing Rick Rude or whatever his name was) started the Shooter hatred. I do remember one instance where he made one of those little flash movie shorts starring shooter. It was about 10 seconds in length and had a very effeminate man saying "I should kill myself". I think he disliked Shooter because Andromeda and he would publicize their relationship troubles in GT...which was a kick, haha.

Do you remember Pure Evil and chris? They also pestered Shooter. Then again, they harassed everyone.. I still remember when they would invite me and a few other GTers into an AIM chat and just spit out every racial slur they could think of. lmao.

But back to Shooter... I'm friends with him on Facebook.

If not for Shooter, I would never have found my Cacti Beer again
mmmmmm Cacti Beer.
Since it is still hosted on his website for me.

Is that why you asked Bond? Did you notice? Being the only one to respond to my thread so far.

Shooter was ok really. I had no problem with him. He was accused of be annoying and childish sometimes. He liked his short one word or smiley posts too

Ah, I remember all of these things. A good refresher though, thanks BLueFire.

E_Petit was always kind of a dick, and Shooter was annoying. Those were some interesting times. It's weird I've been here through all of these cycles of members.

I first remember Shooter as Wildfire on gekko's Nintentrix site as a moderator. Had a cool flaming signature. On GT he was Shooter had Burner Man as his avatar...and I edited it in my spriting days to be covered in poo......

I thought E_Petit was an ok guy. Was pretty nice as far as I recall. Don't think I was around much after he changed his name and attacked Shooter though. Not sure.

Pure Evil would appear on AIM every few months and curse me out. I miss that.


Y2Kev anyone?

Shooter, Shooter, what could I say about him. Geo already mentioned the Andromedia business and that got nasty once they broke up. He also had a habit of harassing people on AIM. I believe I have like a dozen of his screennames blocked. He would go into racist rants at time, but don't remember any particular on the forums.

E_Petit/Ravishing/etc was a cool guy, last I heard he DJed at some Canadian bar.

I use to keep in close contact with nWoChris, up until around the summer of last year than he fell off the face of the earth.

PureEvil was a douche.

I still speak with Y2Kev actually goes to Columbia.

[ZebraRampage]

Okay, so I'm getting a clearer picture about this whole situation now. I have another question. Shooter changed his name to Revival, right? That got me thinking.. Who else has changed their username and is still active? I know that there are a few, but I wouldn't easily be able to tell who is who and what the previous usernames were.

E_Petit was the man. I used to fight with him on AGB but then we started chatting on AIM and he turned out to be a cool guy...that was like 8 or 9 years ago. Oh how time flies by.

I registered here like over 8 years ago but I didn't post much, I just lurked. This place was too active to keep up with. I've always lurked on and off, but yeah. So I guess that makes me a n00b.

[jeepnut]

I have never changed my name.

And by the way, I believe that some of us should be approaching or may have already passed a decade of knowing each other online. Crazy.
