Just out of interest i looked at BoMF's profile under 'list all posts'.
I looked at his most recent compared to his oldest.
A chain of declining relevance is very obvious.

yeah, he's getting better and better!
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

I don't understand why this topic keeps coming up. If you discount everything that's posted in the "Off topic" forum, most of his posts (80%+, it looks like) are directly saying something relevant about the topic at hand. And the ones that are completely off-topic tend to be near or in response to already-off-topic posts (which there are a lot of in the N64 games forum, for example).
I enjoy reading Bag's posts. They are not always useful but always funny in some sense. He brings entertainment to this forum which I think is a great thing. :-)
I don't mind Bag. He's not particularly funny, either... lots of forums have a guy whose attention seeking makes them more a target for abuse than respect.
Nitsuja's comment was accurate, I think. He's usually on topic when he should be. His perceptions are probably more the result of the sheer volume of his postings.
I find Bag's posts annoying. So many of his posts are just stupid jokes that when he actually has something to say I can't be sure whether he is being serious or not. The quadruple sarcasm he always wraps his posts in doesn't help either.

I can't believe so many people are this opinionated about the situation. Especially since I don't really give a damn, and I'm always bitching about something.

After looking at dozen threads in the SNES and NES games forum, I agree with Nitsuja. Most of what BoMF posted was on-topic and helpful. I'm getting the impression that most people's views of his posts (including mine) are skewed.
Then this would be ebaumsworld/gameFAQs/nintendo forums, and no one of intelligence would stick around.
Which is kind of scary, I guess, since on lots of other forums I post on I'm about a silly as Bag of Magic Food. Maybe. Possibly. I dunno. But that might mean we are only one fluke away from total destruction of everything TAS! (Or not.)
Personally, I enjoy BoMF's jokes enough of the time to like having him around. :)

Well, don't get me wrong. I appreciate Bag's input, and I do find him funny sometimes. However, it does get really annoying when an otherwise straightforward thread gets an unecessarily useless post from Bag in it.
