No more Bnet OTS for me
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: Chako
Well it is official. You shall never ever see me on Bnet again. Tonight I decided to make a rare appearance in OTS. It has changed so much from what my memories hold dear. For one thing, I got in a nice tiff match with someone called Elbobbo. In point of fact, I am an anachronism. I do not fit into the crowd that now inhabits OTS on Bnet. I feel like a fifth wheel on a car. You know, the little cheap spares that they make to get you to the nearest gas station. Well that is me. Revenge hangs around but seems to never be at the computer. Redwench, Spider, and LadyTempest were there and about the only people who would respond when I spoke (for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart), for it seems that very few would give you the time of day, let alone the common courtesy of responding. I hope we where not that bad when we were a common fixture of OTS. I pray we did not ignore people just because we did not know them. My memories remind me of the times we helped people with their problems. Today, from what I saw, very few in there actually help others. It is a shame. I can write pages and pages on this topic, but I am still a little furious about my experiences from OTS. Enough so to officially proclaim that my visiting OTS is now over for good.

Yeah, that's pretty much why I don't visit the OTS channel as often as I used to in the past... there are times when it becomes just another blizzard chat channel. Some people forget that it's a channel where we should help people - it's Open Tech Support, for chrissakes.
It's a rather dubious development for a once elite channel where people hang out and help each other, as well as share game tips and just have fun. Nowadays I see some new faces that have only been there a week yet already claim the channel as their homebase - and they don't even help people at all.
I am very thankful that I set up this place - if it weren't for this place I would be like all the other old regs who have moved on and not heard from again. I once thought Diablo 2 was the game that would bring everyone back. Well, it didn't, and I doubt the D expansion or WarCraft III will do the trick. The Open Tech Support channel is now occupied by the new generation. Even though some of the people who still hang out in OTS are my friends, I don't think I can enjoy hanging out there as much as I did two years ago. Lotsa things have changed ... bots, spam, egomaniacs. You name it, OTS has it...
Still, without OTS, I wouldn't have the friends I have now, so I am still indebted to the channel. That is why this place is still named Open Tech Support, not Laggy's House of Love, or whatever I wanna name it.
If I can get even half of all the old regs and half of all the new regs in here on a daily basis, I won't even need to go to the OTS channel anymore...

Chako, what happened with ElBobbo? He is an old ass Reg...hmm....anyway, I think I will start playing Brood War again, hehe..anyone wanna join me?!!! After 2 years of non-playing, I think I may do it, I think I just may. I have a rant though, I think that Blizzard should change the starcraft b.net graphics.

Chako has been in OTS way before Bobbo ... I myself would be interested on what Chako and Bobbo talked about .. I have had a couple of run-ins with Bobbo during my stint in OTS ... I think Labby knows of one of em 
Posted by: MK
Well, excuuuuuuuuuuse me!  Bobbo is cool though, I think. You may not, but he gets along with certain people better then others. Just as everyone does. So Chako, if you would not mind, what went on?
Posted by: Canis Lupus
Hehe, I didn't say I don't get along with him I said there were a couple of times where we had heated arguments... he's a cool guy, but he's not what you may call "everybody's best friend" if you know what I mean
Posted by: MK
Nor is anyone Well, I am not at least I get along with him great, so shut up! hehe...Hmm...well, I thought he was nice when I first met him. I love getting in heated discussions with people though, sparks the brain 
Posted by: Canis Lupus
Bah, maybe you're talking about debates ... the heated discussions I'm talking about are ones that never end and go on and on without resolution ... kinda like that double standards thread at the TG forums
Posted by: Kull
Hey I don't blame ya Chako, I can't even stand going in there. I have not even been in there since the whole bot thing. Although I don't know what happened to ElBobbo, I don't mind him, he's a good guy, pretty smart, thinks he knows everything 
I have always seen him as a nice guy, but debates and such can lead to arguments that may have insued.
I just see Bnet's OTS as nothing but a shame. First it was the arrival of a channel slut, then the mass bots, and password guys and all kinds of stuff that just ruined it for me.
Oh well, I couldn't care less anyways, I still talk to the people I wanna talk to on here and ICQ.
Posted by: Spider
Bobbo was argueing with SkA, Chako asked them both to take it to whispers, and chaos ensued...
As for the channel...I don't mind hanging out in the Battle.net OTS, I don't have many problems with people, hell I'm not at my computer most the time I'm in there anyway, and as for helping people who come in, when people actually do have a problem if you don't answer a question straight away or they think your bs'ing them they freak out and get lame like everyone else, and beyond that 98% of battle.net problems are caused by the Diablo II realms and all anyone can do is direct them to the realm status forum at www.battle.net I forgot where I was going with this, so I'm going to stop typing now
Posted by: redwench
im the channel slut, in case anyone missed kulls point
and elbow just snapped at poor chako, it was an interesting night
blizz is supposedly cooking up something for the bots, i look forward to seeing what it is.
and id be happy in laggys house of love
Posted by: Chako
Bobbo and this other guy were arguing like preschoolers in OTS over some stupid statement. I got tired or reading their trash and asked it they would please take it in private. Bobbo started dishing out the crap towards me. I BRXed him quickly. Needlessly I am not impressed with his comportment on OTS. That was it.
Posted by: MK
Maybe he was just pissed and said it. You should not judge someone by first glance.
Posted by: Canis Lupus
And you should look at both sides of the coin before you judge someone back...
Posted by: MK
Did I judge Chako?
Posted by: Canis Lupus
... maybe I'm just pissed and snapped at you
Posted by: Swilo
I think ElBobbo just likes a good arguement, regardless of with who or over what. There was also someone named elbobbo. in the channel today, so maybe you were in fight with impersonator? But Open Tech Support has rather died since D2 was released. Spammers, passwords scammers, lamers. 90% of questions are so ridiculous people just ignore the person asking. "What's the gem do?" "How do I reduce lag?" "WHY DOES BLIZZARD BAN BOTS???????" and other such nonsense. Occasionally there's a question that I will answer because it serves a purpose, questions that can't be answered by the instruction manual or common sense. Either way, I just hang out in OTS to chat most of the time and help people who I feel deserve it.
Haven't posted here in a LONG while, things have changed...
Posted by: Chako
MK, his actions are all I need to judge him....a persons actions are a mirror to themselves. You will never see me treat someone less then I would expect to be treated. It matters little if I got him at a bad time or not. It does not excuse his behaviour. He is someone I would not associate with. If he is your friend..fine...just don't expect me to like him for that.
Posted by: Freak
It's true.
It's just bullshit now.
You get a geniune request for help in about every 500 lines of spam.
It's just not worth it anymore.
Posted by: MK
Chako, I'm not saying your wrong, but I am just suggesting that maybe you caught him at a bad time and that time is the time you first met him and that is how you view him. Fine, but I am just saying that he is a good guy and maybe your actions were too rash. But, if that's your decision, that's your decision.
Posted by: DemonBob
He was argueing with kerash most of the time I was in thier maybe that worked him up. hehe. Althought that might have been after the incedent with chako....i don't know
Posted by: Null Actor
Funny thing is, most people weren't even around to remember the good ol' days of ots and bnet.
'97 was a good vintage of OTS, too bad there's none left. The early '98 was pretty good, but even that's all gone. Anything after that was crap.
Posted by: Freak
Oooh yeah Nova and his college days hehe
Posted by: Kdr Kane
Too rash? All Chako did was ask them to pipe down. They refused and he BRX'd 'em. It's exactly what I would have done. And I wouldn't make this such a big deal about ElBobbo.
Chako's main point was about the channel. I think the channel goes through it's phases. There will be times when it may feel normal again, and other times not. One problem is that Blizzard restricted bot's and so OTS is too full for me to even go into now.
Posted by: Bishop
b.net's always been changing.
it gets worse and worse every year.
at first the idiotic questions were ocasional, "how can I dupe?". "where do I download bobafett?" and such, but they keep getting worse with every game and patch.
first thoose two, then more with SC, it started to be that the logical questions no longer outnumbered the moronic ones.
the OTS private channel was a good distraction when the main one was over-run by morons or bots, but it didn't last too long and now it's totally useless except for setting up a game in private.
I remember when the old regs left.
I remember when the new regs came in.
it's just not possible to contain that kind of community in such a changing enviroment.
actually the fact that we kept it going with some of the old regs in for so long is quite an acomplishment.
at times I think having a class of generations for the regs is a bad idea but it would help cut down the confusion.
to me old regs are EOT, janna and vindica, laggy, chako, lab, tkron and the rest.
like MK said, to him bobbo is an old reg.
can be very confusing at times I suppose.
b.net's slowly gone from bad to worse and every time it changes we lose a few regs.
most of them can be contacted either here or at TG, or people here have their e-mail's or ICQ's or the game servers they play on.
we don't need b.net anymore, it was nice and fun and it has a lot of good, amusing, and annoying memories, but the simple fact is, it's useless now.
in a month or two things might die down with the bot lamers, but then d2x will come out and we'll be bombarded by even more moronic questions, adding to the already overwhelming ammount of idiots currently holding the channel at knifepoint.
I think I'm too tired to continue this.
and yes, I know I probally got a few names or events switched or missplaced, but that's to be expected, it was a long time ago and I am rather tired.
btw laggy I like the new posting boxes and buttons.
site doesn't blind me anymore ^_^
Posted by: Chako
That is correct. I am not quitting Bnet OTS because of Elbobbo (he just added a little flavor is all). I just find the place has changed too much. It is just not the same. Besides, I found a new home I much prefer...bows to Laggy and all contributors to this wonderful site.

Why not create a new topic here in the Rants/Raves forum? You don't need to type out or copy/paste your logs ... you just need to attach them to the post

Bobbo always think's he's right, that's all. Most of the time, he is, but not always.. he's a knowledgable chap. I get on well with him most of the time- but everyone says and does things when they're angry that they wouldn't otherwise do- so don't jusdge him too harshly on the basis of one incident
Oh, and bish... you're right about the regs thing. It's interesteing that. To me the old regs are T'K, wargy, laggy.. the same people as you basically. The most amusing thing is that a lot of the people who play on TG's CS server- the new TG people- regard me as an old reg... now that just cracks me up hehe
Out of interest, when did you 'old regs' start playing? 4 or 5 years ago?

You pretty much hit the head on the nail Chako. There just isn't as much user friendliness in the channel. I think more of it has to do with how the Internet has shaped as well as the age groups now there.
When we were there back when it first started, most of your computer users had either money or were adults. Now the trend has definately switched a lot more to the everyone group so it includes more youngsters.
Of course there are exceptions such as smart youngsters or stupid adults. But in general, the crowd is a lot younger than us and most of them haven't developed manners yet.
btw..It was fun playing Diablo with ya in the old days. Unfortunately I don't think bnet OTS could ever become the place we knew and loved again. Too many adolescents and Korean spam.
Fortunately most of the immature types don't visit BBS forums so we can now communicate here. Thanks to Webmaster extraordinaire Laggy. Also, we can ban them here for acting up...hehe
Posted by: Chako
RS, as a matter of fact, I know who he is. His name is familiar, and I do remember him from times of past. He belongs to TG, and may in fact be a moderator for them (not sure on this though). I was just surprised at how he responded to a simple request. So I just BRXed him and ignored his ravings. As I repeat, he is not the reason I am quitting Bnet OTS. That was just a minor blip, all the more surprising from someone I know, but I think this just highlight how long I have been gone from OTS.
Am I stubborn...Hell ya
Posted by: EOT(US)
Did Bishop call me "old"?  hehe Hell, I AM old! But Chako is one of our "oldest" friends from the "good ole days" .... so if he said something that "rubbed" someone the wrong way ..... then so be it! *thumbs up for Chako*!
Posted by: Bishop
I meant old as in one of the first OTS regs.
not age, age is worthless.
somedays I'm thought to be in my 60's, others under 10.

hehe Bishop, I knew that!
It's just been so long since I have been able to get to the forums I am making up for lost time
Posted by: MK
Just because someone is an old reg makes them right?
Posted by: Canis Lupus
You're missing the point MK, as always...
... and the answer to your question is NO...
Posted by: Bishop
age means nothing.
when I first got on the net I was 11, and despite the ocasional childish act or word, most people couldn't believe I was under 20.
when I think of OTS, I'm drifted between two different eras.
I remember hanging out in OTS back in the original diablo, ocasionally playing with one or two regs but never really getting to know them, and yet still somehow managing to fit in, although that came later.
The majority of OTS is not so split and divided as we think.
Take me and xon.
we argue almost constantly about this or that strategy in d2 and SC, yet one day one imbecile came in sputtering utter nonsense we both knew was wrong (even though we had different ways of countering the strategy in question), we sat there and grilled this child until he ran screaming from the room with tears in his eyes.
Also take AOD and bobbo.
they always argue (notwithstanding the fact that bobbo argues with everyone, that's besides the point) about varying degrees of topics but many a time have I seen them work some moron over until he cried for his mommy and left.
OTS is a highly diverse and divided group.
but it IS a group.
We have many different feelings and opinions about many different things, but the plain simple fact is while we disagree on this or that idiocy, we all see the same thing in the end of it all.
I could go on, further hoping to bring my point across, but the people who can see it through what I've said so far are the ones who really understand how things are, and even some of the reasons behind them.
Posted by: Ion Silverbolt
What he was saying I think was the channel was great back then because you could be in a channel full of people talking intelligently and cracking up with laughter. And then you could always play a fun game of Diablo with to boot.
Now it's so full of spam that everyone gets drowned out. The D2 chat interface doesn't help either. And the channel is full of rude people who shout or curse all the time at each other. Sure some people may like that sort of stuff, but I and a lot of older regs don't which is why we bolted.
You can like it all you want and praise Bobbo's or anyone elses behavior all you want. It isn't a bad or a good thing. It just is. Some of us don't care for it so we choose to hang elsewhere now. Nobody is alienating anyone. It's a public channel for crying out loud. But there's nothing against someone wanting to alienate themselves from it. (Or anyone)
That's why I like these forums so much personally. They're kept clean from all that garbage and it feels more like old OTS channel here than anywhere else. Although most of those people are gone, it's the environment that made it for me. Not just the people.
Posted by: uh...ok
Heh, Bish directed me to this post, so I guess I better say something.
In regards to the whole OTS channel thing, I think all that needs to be said have already been said, so I'll save us all time and energy and not repeat everyone else...
I definitely had the most fun reading RS's post... that was hilarious hehe... good one RS.
And why the heck isn't OTS.net named "Laggy's House of Love" anyway??? I'm sure that would bring plenty of new members on board... LOL... oh and Ellen, you're not that old... your avatar pretty much says it all...
-uh...ok
Posted by: Darky!
You know, I hate it when people leave the OTS regs. Im sorry to see you leave man, even though i honestly never met you, since your on ots reg, i consider you a friend (Thats just the way i am).
It is a pitty that you'd leave OTS just because people aren't helping, as they say, there are good days, and there are bad days, you probably caught a bad day, since most of us help when were there, or atleast, the regs I know do.
I hope you'll reconsider leaving OTS for good, as, even though I've yet to meet you, Im sure that OTS will truly miss you.
Thats abuot all i can think of to say really, since I'm not really to good wit words and all that, and my 5$ keyboard constantly makes me go back and corect mistakes  .
Posted by: MK
Well, my statement wasn't really a question. I was just stating that sarcastically, because it doesn't. Also, Bobbo doesn't argue with everyone, take that statement back
Posted by: Null Actor
I think the worst thing is, is that there are no consequences on the net. Not to mention that, but parents don't supervise their kids when they are on the net. Parents should be teaching children netiquette as much as good manners.
If I ever have kids (god forbid), you can be damn sure that I'll teach them net manners. Being a little brat in a chat room or on a message board should have the same consequences IRL as being a little brat IRL.
Unfortunately, most parents currently don't know shit about the net, they just own a computer. And the situation probably isn't going to get better for a long time.
The net needs some civilizing. That's it's main problem.

Uhm, yeah, he doesn't argue with people who are AFK .. that would just be plain dumb
Posted by: Swilo
Actually laggy, one day he was yelling at me about some stupid thing, and I quite obviously mentioned I was away from keyboard, and he kept going for another ten minutes, which I only knew because someone pointed it out to me and I checked the log. I think he just zones out and totally ignores the other side of the arguement until he's said his word, then he might consider going back and readin what you said.
And OTS just got worse with the new D2 patch. The servers were down for the patch upgrade, and everybody was on SC/BW yelling their lungs (or should it be fingers?) out at a 2 hour outage. Now today everybody is on D2 and yelling their lungs out because the patch "F***CKED UP MY WEAPON" or "NOW I CAN'T HIT THEM" and other such nonsense. For anyone on a bot, you're welcome to create any channel that starts with Public Chat as a hide-away.

bobbo loves to argue with anyone . he's an admin at the TG forums yes .
we had several err "discussions" in the past . he's a good person . just takes awhile tho .
ots (the battlenet channel) is more dead then my love life i think .
wow what a bunch of idiots in there (few exceptions tho). all in all it ain't worth going there much .
i sometimes see an old reg . infact b4 going to the E3 i bumped into brandus in OTS . hadn't seen that guy in 2 years hehe :"are you that wargasm from the old d1 tech forums "
ME :"do i win a prize if i am ?"
he :"i am brandus
me :"SH!T long time no see"
hehehe
was cool
but if you think OTS is fun i strongly suggest you plan your vacation in former yougoslavia or so .. prolly at a conflict zone . lotsa fun there also .
Posted by: MK
For one, he doesn't argue with me
It seems like people are attacking him. I am not saying you are, but that's the impression I get. People, don't destroy the group that is already set. Try getting along with people instead of saying how they do this and that. I will try also.
Posted by: Chako
MK what planet are you from? Where you even there when I ran into him? I seriously doubt it. Now quit insinuating that I was the one who started this whole thing. All I did was to ask them (politely at that) to make their argument private because they where both acting like children. I asked them to do it because I didn't want to squelch someone I knew. Now this whole thing has gotten out of hand, my original post was not about Bobbo, it was about the OTS channel in general.
Posted by: Canis Lupus
For that to happen, all parties should be able to adjust to each other .... we can adjust just fine - we've been doing it since the bots invaded the OTS channel ... but one thing we won't do is take shit from people ... no one does ...
Instead of trying to say people are "attacking" him, why don't you look at the other side of the fence and find out WHY people are allegedly attacking him ... he's not as innocent as you picture him to be, he has his faults, like everyone does ... we're all sharing our honest views here, and what we're saying is that we don't take shit from people, old regs or not... It's up to you if you disagree with them or not, but please don't tell us to stop being frank and honest...
And whose group is being destroyed? Wargy has his group of friends pretty much tight and secure, and I have my friends here in this site all bunched up in a great big family ... so whose group are you referring to? Whatever group it is, it's definitely not here...
We always try to be civil, but we will never go quietly into the night if someone treads on us ... we won't conform ourselves with someone else's imperfections, and they shouldn't, either...

Posted by: Freak
Well I guess it's pretty much all covered then.
Just one thing---Why does Nova always assume kids are born with no netiquette? Or manners or whatever. I know plenty of minors that act like civilized people on and off the computer. It's just loud noisy ones that give us a bad name. Sheesh for god's sake it's just unfair. But WTF, rarely is anything fair.
But then this would not belong on this thread heh heh
Posted by: Scav
thats all im done
Posted by: AK47
I was with Nova on this one, but Freak's point was valid. Its true that kids get a bad rap in general because of how some of them act. That's not fair. I think this is because in general, kids are easier to pick on. Of course, there are annoying (alot of them if you ask me) but not all of them are bad. I think that's what freak was trying to say. Yeah, being a kid can suck- always being blamed for shit, but oh well, that's the way things go. life aint fair.

Yeah, there are good people out there. I never said they were all bad. Or if I did, I didn't mean it that way. But I see kids every day, IRL and on the net, who obviously have no manners, and they outnumber those who do. By a large margin. This may not be absolute stats, but just that around me.
But the problem isn't confined to the net, it's much larger than that. It's just that the net is a good sign of it.
Posted by: Bishop
correct.
it's like saying morons outnumber the intelligent people.
while we all know people who are intelligent, for every one of them there are a hundred complete and total imbeciles.

Althought I've never posted here, at one point I considered myself a "baby OTS reg" on B.net (+6 mo under the same screenname on the same channel, trying my damndest to offer support to anyone I knew how to help...). Several members know me.. but anyway.. I gave up logging on to the forum for a while out of frustration and personal limitations. Now, when I attempt to log onto that forum through Topaz, I never find anyone I once knew.. Darky, AoD, Scav, the_druidess, idiot's_revenge, redwench, Bishop, Spider, etc (some "old-school" regs may find this listing laughable, but hey, i'm tryin, eh?)... and when I try to jump to the channel OTS I get a "channel restricted" message. Shalome's not good enought for y'all anymore? Oh well.. In the meantime, I'll keep looking around open tech support for everyone.
Later.

Posted by: Canis Lupus
Hey Shalome
I guess you didn't hear that Blizzard has put some restrictions on bots and chat clients on bnet. Chat clients like Topaz can only enter three channels - Blizzard Public, Blizzard Tech Support, and Open Tech Support ... it won't be able to enter private channels (like channel OTS) or any other public channel outside the three mentioned above. So it's not that "Shalome is not good enough," it's a restriction imposed by Blizzard
However, you are free to hang out here. Most of the regs in OTS that no longer hang out in the channel are all here. So stick around treat this as your channel

So go with what ya know and become better at what ya know.

I know Bishop can agree with me when I say it's not Just OTS that's changed and is changing..
Bishop, being from Bounty Hunters, and Cheaters.. Has seen Bounty Hunters turn into a channel none other then a place for Script Kiddies..And lamers alike.
Me, being from DS1, and FYA. I can say I sometimes /who those channels and can't find 1 reg from back "in the day" or whatever you want to say..
I was pritty immature myself then, and still am a bit, but have improved alot, if you ask me
Like channels, everyone changes...
Anyways, My point I think, is that OTS isn't the only channel that's changed... Every channel has on Battle.net. Some more drasticly then others..
I've been to almost all the different channels and the reasson i've stuck in OTS, ignoring the many people that don't like me, is because OTS is by far, better then any of those channels...
It's changed I guess, I don't know I wasn't around then. I was in DS1, and FYA..
Anyways, another point I was making, is you guys take the OTS situation for granted, hehe it's far better then you think.. Trust me
It can, and most likely will get worse.
And yea, from what i' see day in and day out (While i'm there, which has been rather often) is the only questions are "What's the Gem Do?", "How do I upgrade my lag?"
And questions only related to Blizzards mistakes with Diablo 2, and LoD. About missing charactors, and missing items..
And ammidst all the odd questions, is RedWench hitting on me and AlenL ..j/k!
/me giggles

u wont see me too often on bnet anymore either and if i am there it is probably just to refresh my account so it doesnt poof just in case blizzard ever decides to make Diablo2

why does anyone bother with ots channel anymore? Why not all just use something else...like the TG chat server or mIRC or something?

I don't bother with the OTS channel on bnet anymore ... I just go to these forums - much better than any channel or chatroom IMHO

I don't even bother with OTS bnet channel anymore. If I go in there its to play Starcraft, and even then I have not playing in months.

they need to restrict d2 to priv channels....that would basically solve all the ots probs

Heyas all
I'm a lil late for this thread, but... yeah, i have to agree with Chako, and everyone for that matter, about OTS being not as it used to be. 4 Years back, we were like, internet family, always helping each other swap on Diablo 1 and all, chatting in the channel, giving the friendly "Go to your Diablo folder, and delete bncache.dat" responce, but now... ugh.
Screw it, I'd rather just lvl up my pally
But yeah, everytime i try going there, I don't feel all that welcome. Except for this one time, when RedWench was in there... Whoa! A little too welcoming! j/k.
