is it true that you charge people like 5.99 just to use the forums/put in apps? that's the word on the streets!

It's actually tenbux.

PBC is part of an already established community that has an admission fee elsewhere on the internet. It should be noted that while we are all part of SA in some way, we generally do not have direct affiliation with other groups of "goons" you may have heard of. We try to be friendly, generally speaking.

I ran with a group of Something Awful gamers in Rift [Everything is Fine] who took the same stance that has been described here. I have nothing bad to say about them I had a lot of fun and they were all very skilled gamers. I think that anyone who is affiliated with SA gets profiled as a troll just for having a clan tag that falls under that sites umbrella and it’s often NOT the case more times than it is, at least in my experience.

That’s not to say that every grouip doesn’t have its trolls, I have run into an equal number of them from guilds NOT affiliated with SA (in several games not just XIV) as I have who were. I’m not here to defend them as I don’t know anyone in PBC, but I have had good experiences with SA guilds in the past and I thought it would be relevant to chime in with that to this thread.

I would pose this question to “BigDawg” however.

If Lady Gaga has NOT been affiliated with PBC or any other Something Awful group of gamers, would you have been as quick to shout “troll” or would you be more patient and maybe tried to help the player or the situation in a different manner?
