Warning!! Uncensored rant.....

[Big_Saw]

So, D's been tweakin' the site, and it made the last few days here irritating as hell for me, so I've been lurking around other boards while the 'Colony's been getting a spit-shine......lemme tell you people....THANK ****ING GOD FOR SITES LIKE XCOLONY!!!

I been sharing a bit-o intel over at the Survivalist Boards, only to discover that the place is ****ing CRAWLING with morons and know-it-alls, and the topical discussion is completely unchecked....

...I also (out of morbid curiosity) paid the Anarchist Cookbook forums a visit..... being a big fan of the original manuscript, I thought I'd be pleasantly intrigued.....right....and a gaggle of geese live in my ass....of all the sites I've ever tried to tolerate, this one proved to be insurmountable....it's modded by punks, privates and psycopaths, Admined by a no-show, and the most popular topics are whether or not to shave your crotch, and how to make money without doing anything resembling work....

If you want drivel and "intel" from Google-hungry, 13 year-old ****tards, I'd suggest checking out survivalistboards.com ...if abject stupidity and lasciviousness is your taste, direct your browser to anarchistcookbook.com ...but I've read the book, and it's much better :D...If you're looking for intelligence and mature peers, just click the Jericho image at the top of the screen, and hang around a bit.....

....There's no place like home.....

I checked out several sites before putting down roots here,and I agree with you completely. Most are just waiting to viciously attack some one's point of view,and never did I see any discussions of prepping of any kind.But....... one advantage of visiting those sites I can see is, you can kinda get a feeling of the intelligence level of of the "Zombies" we'll have to contend with when SHTF.

[Big_Saw]

No doubt....if that's the kind of resistance we can expect, I have no doubt the true "survivalists" will one day RULE THE WORLD!! Bwa ha ha ha ha ha.........*cough* xD

Well, the good thing about spots like those .... if ya ever had a doubt about yourself or those closest to ya ..... I know you feel a whole lot better about everything now :D

O.W.

I left Survivalist Boards after supporting it for many months, seeing my illustrated articles obliterated when the owner changed servers with no warning several times. I was a mod there but when the same guy went on YouTube to draw more 'traffic' to boost his income and did not heed my warnings about that demographic he was pandering to I left. it was a dirty divorce but like all divorces for the best, I'm sure you all agree.

I agree with everything said. I think here we have a sense of community were we are encouraging eachother to be better at our craft.

I have a couple of Mormon sites i like. They are polite, actually know about food storage and dont dwell on the "ramboesque"

'Ramboesque',,,,,Classy, susinct and with class

I have visited the survivalistboards.com (and still do on rare occasions) but I found that the pro atheist outlook disturbing, I was attacked via PM for having bible quotes in my sig. so I never post over there! I do not post here very often but I love to read as much as I can. The main reason that I do not post to much is that I do not know that much about prepping! but that is why I'm here to learn!

I have not been on those same boards per se, but have dabbled with a few online, and I go back to the Usenet days (does that even exist anymore?) of misc.survivalism and similar newsgroups.

And I have arrived at the same conclusion...XC is the place to be! That is why I choose to be a VIP member and donate money to this site, which I encourage everyone else to consider doing as well. There are only three forums (out of perhaps 20 or so that I belong to) that I feel are worth my money and a little extra time, and believe me I am super-picky.

I am not soliciting, I am just saying...be thankful for the forums that you like, and support them if you can, because without them we would be stuck with the lesser-quality crap that is out there.
