Like LAST and RIVALS, GMK was trolled (I’m as guilty as the rest of them). GMK could be brutal too....but GMK was funny as fuck, had a cast of characters this board could only dream of and more importantly, understood our club’s growing crisis way before anyone else... we knew it wasn’t all down to SISU. When I joined this forum (after GMK’s demise) former GMK’ers, that hadn’t jumped early, were referred to as ‘SISU Lovers’ ...amongst other things.
So let’s back off with the ‘GMK wasn’t any good’...it more than served a purpose, it was a necessary influence that happed to die...whether it was too soon or too late is really a moot point.
I think we all mellow as we get older and many of the former GMK trolls came here and mellowed somewhat, I can say that for myself and it seems FM did too, barring a few delightful regressions. Old habits die hard sometimes...and before anyone gets on their high horse, that’s what makes any forum, including this one, a great one.
