Ghostbusters: Nightsquad

and he is lurking around this message board.

What’s up fuckers,

As you can tell by now. The Nightsquad Message Board is back. She’s back to stay,  whether anybody ever uses her again or not. I figure I owe you guys an explaination  as to why I brought her back.

I put the ol’ broad into retirement for all the wrong reasons. Those mostly being  depression and sense of general defeat in regards to the community and the direction  it has taken. I felt as though what little friends I did have had turned on me in  favor of this new direction and the shitty people contained therein. All the regular  users had dropped out from GBHQ an my little slice of heaven. I felt like I couldn’t  win, and at the time, I was tired of raging against the machine for what I perceived  as a collective group of ingrates with the long term memory of a goldfish. So I shut  her down. Put her out to pasture for good. Figured people didn’t need the service I  was offering anymore. That was that.

Now as far as bringing her back, There’s several reasons. Let’s start at the top.

It had came to my attention, repeatedly, since about a year after I close my doors,  that a fair minority of people were generally displeased with the community. More  specifically GB Fans. I’d keep getting messages from people about a general  mistreatment of them, and their opinions, because they didn’t seem to want to fall  in line with the concept that the quality of your proton pack determines your worth  as a user. They would also voice their discontent with the fact that most of the  regulars there tend to lean towards the possibility of being full blown asperger’s  patients. This mentality pervades the majority of long-standing users on GB Fans. Up  until now ignored their apparent pleas for help. Justifying my own actions with the  thought that they didn’t have my back when I needed them.

That would be until I got on this alternative medication for depression, and folks,  I can’t stress this enough. St. Jon’s Wort works. If you even think you’ve got some  sort of depression or mood disorder, then get yourself some of this shit. It does  wonders. It had gotten so bad for me that I couldn’t leave the house, and I enjoyed  NONE of the things I used to LOVE. I feel like a million fucking bucks now. I can’t  express enough how much this shit can help you. So if one of my fellow Ghostheads  out there has such an issue, pick you up some St. John’s Wort and start taking it.

So, quite simply, i’m back. I’m myself again. Believe me kids, you’ll never  understand how sorry I am that I turned my back on the minority you that asked for  my help. That being said, I can no longer sit idly by and let these good people have  no voice. They need a place to go, just as much as the propfags do. They need a  place to go that isn’t overflowing like a clogged toilet with the kind of nerdery  that brings shame unto us casual fans. Everyone deserves to be heard. EVERYONE. Not  everyone should be forced to conform with one man’s vision of the community, just  because he’s the biggest dog in the yard.

Now with that. I give you the Nightsquad Mission Statement.

This place isn’t meant to be a declaration of war. I got no desire to lock horns  with AJ Quick. AJ’s a okay kid and he was justified in banning me, and i’m sorry for  pushing the poor kid to do it. AJ really tried his damnest to NOT ban me. But I  wouldn’t leave well enough alone. However he promotes an environment that’s not  necessarily how some people want to roll. This place is meant to be an alternative  to that. That’s it, simply put. i’ll use a wrestling analogy for those who are so  inclined. If AJ runs WWE, and Chad runs WCW. Then this place will be ECW, and i’m  crazy fucking Paul E running the arena.

Now, even though this place isn’t firing the first shot in some Ghostbusters.net  style war, I am not going to censor people who do have a grievance to air. This  doesn’t just apply to GB Fans, It applies to all. Just like before, anything goes  here. People are free to moan, piss, and praise WHATEVER they want to. I’m not going  to stop them.

You’ll also notice the distinct lack of 20 different categories. I’m keeping it old  school people. One Board. No more. No less. Just like the Emkow days.

This is also not a numbers game. I don’t care if we have 10 users or 1000. This  place is going to stay open. I’m not gonna pull a NetSolo. So long as i’m living and  breathing this message board will be around for people, even if there’s only 5 of  you. This place was founded on principle, not popularity. Now to paraphrase one of  my heroes. Lemme nerd it up for a moment here, i’m due.

I promise you people, I PROMISE you. I’m not going anywhere ever again. I will be  the messiah of the Ghostheads (not the GB Fans, there’s a difference), the rabbi of the revolution, THE  SWINGING SHLONG OF THE EXTREME. This is Nightsquad.

Remember kids, Up front there ought to be a man in black.
Love,
Holbrook.

Remember, back when we were just wee ghostheads, bumbling around the big empty world of cyberspace? Remember all the failed attempts at organizing a big meet-up for Ghostheads only?

The wait is almost over….

Ok, sorry about the weird gay angle, this nugget of nonsense was brought to my attention by one Adam Bestler. This video was used at a ‘hentai for anime fangirls’ con to promote Ectocon.com – which if you haven’t heard is a secret project that’s been in the works for a Ghostbusters-themed convention to take place in 2011. So um, check it out.
