I know it's not kosher to laugh at sales numbers like that, but I was going to laugh due to the absurdity of admitting something that dismal.

Still, bad numbers and a shame the second one wasn't localized, but wow.

It's rather fitting though. Not that I didn't deserve mine either. I think GAF has gotten me over my irrational hatred for Sony, and I'm down to just my rational dislike for them.

Was he actually perma banned? Last I remember he was posting ass sots of electricluv and spouting off how everyone is jealousy of him, is that what sealed it? Or did I miss it?

These stories are pretty fascinating.

Within my first couple of weeks on GAF someone posted this awful picture of this hilariously nerdy looking dude in a suit that didn't fit him and said it was a photo of Amirox. in retrospect they were clearly joking, but for about 18mos I had this image of Amirox as this ridiculous overweight greasy fucking dweeb IRL.

It was just one of those associations that stuck for a lot longer than it should have.

Sometimes when I am walking down the street I wonder if some of the people I see are Gaffers.

I bet I know at least one Gaffer but neither of us have no idea the other has a Gaf account.

I know of one person IRL, another on my FB but not sure how many london based gaffer there are, maybe a Meet up for the UK/londno side is in order.

Yeah, he had a major meltdown and that was his downfall. I think it was in the post your pics thread.

That wasn't Amir0x?

If we're talking about the same pic, that is.

I don't even remember what the pcture looked like, it was about 4 years ago. But we're probably talking about the same one.

But I'll echo what you said early in this thread, in that you were a kid during GAF's beginning, and so was I. I think you and I are around the same age actually.

Fun fact: Me and Evilore are only a few days apart in age! Both born in November 1984. He is slightly older I think.

Ami's lost a ton of weight recently, I think >100lbs? So that's not relevant anymore anyhow.

Yeah, I think I saw him post a pic after he'd slimmed down a bit recently.

I still have that pic in my head though. It's the first thing I think of when I picture him.

I am pretty sure that was me. Story was I got last minute invited to go lobby in Washington for a certain bill a specific Tobyhanna Army Depot contract wanted to pass. I didn't have time to get a suit fitted properly, unfortunately, since I was literally invited only a few days out from having to actually go for a week. As a heavy guy back then it was difficult enough to find a suit that fit right.

Had a great time though. Met congressmen, partied, got a personal tour by Kanjorski of the Capitol Building and we accidentally ran into Nancy Pelosi in the process. Good times, good times.


God fat-era Amir0x sucked though. I am now 180lbs. Down from 280lbs.

I got fat due to depression right after I finished high school though from a specific tragic life event so it's not like I was just lazy. I was in fitness club in high school and everything and on the baseball team. Even set a school record for that one test where you push forward the little notch to test your stretching flexibility.

You know, I think I have my stories mixed up. I was thinking of someone else when I thought of Wrath.

Does anyone know why exactly Wrath2X was banned?
