Right, as I posted before Jim Sterling suggested a moron gauntlet, which would give 'so-called haters' the change to go toe to toe with him for a chortle. Well, one of the people he 'named' was our very own Bouncybhall, who accepted, only for Jim to suddenly suffer amnesia.
Which is all well and good, only now Bouncy is off on a winner's victory lap.
So Mr Sterling, if you don't remember him, here's a reminder.
He's the one who you wrote about as 'The Jim Sterling Hate Site'
He's also the one he claims you have quoted in your sig on your other forum.
And perhaps more importantly, he's the one that has made a Lego Minifig out of you.
So, I can understand not remembering, he's quite forgettable (sorry Bouncy) but we offer you this, instead of honoring your Moron Gauntlet proposal, why not come onto our podcast? Same rules apply.
Or just set up a Moron Gauntlet and belittle Bouncybhall (sorry again Bouncy, but this has gone on long enough now).
i dont know the story behind your stupid drama, but i think jim sterling is a moron. his lack of socialization/slight mental retardation is obvious in his writing/lack of perception,understanding.
@ Reaprar - I wasn't on the google blog, that was just Star, Bouncy and Nerfie, but there was definitely more of an air of Sterling love/hate back then.
To be honest we're now pulling in 5000 hits a week, been advertised in a 360 mag, and still Bouncy insists on sticking in the past.
That's kinda why I hoped the Moron Gauntlet would go ahead, just to shut him the fuck up.
I didn't namecheck him. I know several people who look like sex offenders. He's merely one of them.
You know what? I generally ignore him, because after my CBlog about his little exhibition, he just got weirder and more anxious for my attention, but let me just say -- have you ANY idea how busy I am? Now I'm reviews editor here, I have little to no time for his desperate BS, or anybody else trying to score themselves a little infamy off the back of my hard fucking work. Sometimes I barely have time for my own girlfriend, friends and family, let alone some fucker who can't something in his own life to talk about.
I don't care if he's running victory laps or if he thinks he's beaten me. I simply don't care. It's not important. He can go and stalk me around the Internet all fucking day if that's important to him, he can go claim these victories over me as many times as he wants. I have actual important shit to be getting on with and couldn't give a flying crap.
I don't know why he doesn't like me that match. We have never directly interacted, and I don't bust my ass round here to be despised, but if some people feel the need to loathe me on the psychological level, so be it. I don't lose sleep over him, or anybody else. Have you seen that VGCats comic where Ash just tells Team Rocket "Here, TAKE Pickachu?" That's pretty much the level I am at. I keep hearing about this fool whose writing I stopped reading months ago (despite the fact he sent us tips to his stupid scrawlings) and I honestly have better shit to do.
Now, I am going to go finish Viking to review it. Lolocaust, I may do the Moron Gauntlet yet (it was an f'n joke post) but it takes a lot of organizing and I don't know how worth it the idea is. If I do it, however, your friend will be welcome to join it and he can enjoy the only five minutes of interaction that he and I will ever have.
@ vexed alex - hey no worries, we're trying to get something off of the ground, and so far are doing well on groundworks, but this 'feud' Bouncy has is causing issues. I guess the whole Moron Gauntlet was a solution to a buggering awful stickler of a problem.
@ Jim - I totally understand mate, like I said above it was a window of light, but yeah you've achieved a lot here and it's hard not to admire it. Ultimately if the Moron Gauntlet goes ahead than yes by all means invite 'our' sex offender lookie-likey to join the others, but if not don't worry.
Other than that I don't see any point really going on, as it seems to be damagind our site for now. So hopefully there's more to The Lolocaust than the Jim-baiting nut job.
@ wardrox - kind of, Bouncybhall set up a blog linked to a retro site, which became a rant board, mixed with genuinely odd stuff, towards the end of it's life it became a Jim Sterling hate site of sorts, but now he posts over with us, and continues to use the'jim sterling is a massive cock' tag a little too eagerly.
Still, like I said before, everyone needs a hobby, and outside of being a photographer and video store clerk bouncy is a hater. And yes it is pathetic, and yes occasionally very, very funny.
Aww, it's so cute when people try to get attention by causing drama with those more internet famous than they are. Did I say cute? I meant pathetic. Tell whoever Bouncy he needs to get a life if he's obsessing over this.
Honestly, why do you continue to interact with him yourself? From your own posts, you sound like the annoyed older brother having to explain the behaviour of his hyperactive, mentally challenged younger brother. I've seen annoying people and trolls on the net, but this goes above and beyond.
His writing is tepid and mediocre at best, and you constantly seem to have to play good cop - whatever affiliation you've got with him, were it me having to play mediator, I'd drop it posthaste. Your involvement doesn't reflect very well on you or your site at all, at least in terms of professional courtesy.
I have to agree with Bio. Why do you associate with this person? It can't be good for your website to have a guy that is so obsessive about calling out and insulting somebody on another website.

WTF is this BS?
@slayoyayo
lol wut?
If you dont like Jim just dont read his articles. Its as simple as that.
que?
@demonelite - It's not a case of him ignoring the articles, it's become an obsession for him.
Long story short, he consider's Sterling his Moriaty. For some reason.
@ Reaprar - I wasn't on the google blog, that was just Star, Bouncy and Nerfie, but there was definitely more of an air of Sterling love/hate back then.

Still, it's nice to have a hobby I guess...
(again, sorry Bouncy... /prepares for wrath)

I really won't give much of a shit though.
*that much
When will you learn not to anger the British - we're already on the edge...
This blog is just oodles and oodles of sadness. I don't even know what else to say. Lolocaust, you are pathetic.
Woah. Wait. I'm tired. Please ignore my last comment.
It's 5 AM here. I haven't had any sleep and I seriously have no idea what I thought I read.

Wait, you people have acutaly made an "I hate Jim Sterling" website? That's, well, to be blunt, little pathetic. Yet very, very funny.

I don't understand. Why does this Bouncy guy hate Jim so damn much?
Aww, it's so cute when people try to get attention by causing drama with those more internet famous than they are. Did I say cute? I meant pathetic. Tell whoever Bouncy he needs to get a life if he's obsessing over this.
I really wish I was important enough to justify the kind of obsessive attention I get. I'd be fucking rich if I was.

The moron gauntlet is being held on the sun. Go there and await for further instruction.
I got hate mail every now and then for different things... I dont care, I even keep one or two of them because they are funny.
PROTIP:
THIS IS THE INTERNET, IT DOESNT MATTER
Also, you're a fucking no name that no one cares about
