Off Topic Discussion Megathread

Oof. The King is dead, boys and girls. Looks like Theodoric's temp ban became permanent

What a shame. He brought a refreshingly different point of view to the forum, even if the past couple of years have had a sour disagreement over XIV's story. He posted here often, and often talked about other games too. Posted interesting shots from his nature walks. Truly an individual worth interacting with.

It's a shame the optics for this ban are sour too. Off the cusp of him posting a bunch of Encyclopedia Eorzea 3 pages related to that same sour story beat. Makes it seem vindictive, rather than rule bound.

Then again, the ToS for this forum are so vague, I could probably get banned for just talking about it so...

Here's to you, Theodoric. *clinks glass* Thanks for keeping this forum from being an echo chamber. Thanks for making cool characters. Thanks for making people who also felt a distaste for Endwalker's story feel a little more sane and a little less lonely.

Well, that's unfortunate. I may not have agreed with him very often, but I respected his ability to articulate his point of view without getting snippy or passive-aggressive about it.

It is a great shame this occurred. I have lurked on the forums for a long time and generally enjoyed the contents of his posts. In addition, he generally represented his points well and tended to keep the ad hominem to a minimum. For those who were dissatisfied with the game, he was seen as a beacon of sorts.

Remember...remember he once posted...

Lol, why? I never felt, that he was trolling or being rude.

My theory is that SE doesn't like people posting paid for content without their consent, kind of like how Nintendo is about their stuff. Could've been over other things too, but, that's just my theory.
