Hanger-On Registered: Feb. 02	Bottom line: I am convinced that O&A pulled a fake radio bit by having contestants eat vomited clam chowder. All those that really believe it really took place need to think again. For example- 1) Infinity would not take the risk of a major lawsuit if someone caught a disease. 2) For all the times Don and Mike have tried to have people ingest other people's bodily fluid, the lawyer QUICKLY shot them down. And just because Don and Mike are at the lower rung of the Infinity ladder doesn't mean that the lawyers pick on them. O&A are subject to the same legal precautions. And don't think having people sign waivers is going to keep Infinity out of harms way. 3) Stinky probably switched the vomit bag to the chowder bag when no one was looking. Like the WWF is was all pre-planned. I think O&A are a great show but lose credibility for trying to get this fake bit past the listeners. The bit was fake. Sorry.

Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00	When the video comes out, you'll see. Even if it was Clam Chowder, I'd like to see someone fake eating a littl puke and then barf up 4 times as much. quote: For all the times Don and Mike have tried to have people ingest other people's bodily fluid, the lawyer QUICKLY shot them down. I seriously doubt they brought a lawyer with them to Boston. quote: Posts: 1 I think O&A are a great show but lose credibility for trying to get this fake bit past the listeners. Yeah, O+A are great but your only post on an O+A board is to speak badly about them and bring up D+M??? I think someone else's credibility is taking a downturn around here. Thanks to Brokenjaw for the sigpic Moss should have given the ball to his coaches to spike, or at least invited them onto the field to take part in the celebration, because they were the ones who made that score possible. But don't tell that to Randy, it would only take away from the glory he believes he deserves for being as great as he is. Click here for the whole article

Hanger-On Registered: Feb. 02	Well sir, instead of throwing out curse words, why don't you prove me wrong and make an intelligent counter-point? It's obvious from your reaction that you are in denial. Fake radio bits = not good. Why don't you tell me why you think it was real? Is that above you?

Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70	So just to recap, becuase Don and Mike can't do it, Opie and Anthony couldn't have done it? Did you ever hear Stern have pornstars puke on guys? That is the completeness of your ironclad proof?

Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01	Even if it was fake - It was done with the contestants thinking it was real - Proven further by the instant vomit and loss of "The Big Game" tickets. Nice forst post DEEK!! I hope you do not choke on your own mule while listening to Don and Mike

O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00	Who the fuck really cares if it was a fake bit or not? Did it make people laugh? YES! Did it make people cringe? YES! Did some not find it amusing at all? YES! Jesus fuckin christ, these are 2 guys on the radio who's job it is to make people laugh, and to make the company money, bottom line. Jesus mother fuckin christ on a pony, some of you people need to get a fuckin life. I have been accused of spamming members of this site. In reality, I e-mailed one person to tell her about the existence of another site. I never gave said person the URL of this other site and only asked if she would be interested. Well, long story short, she told your beloved froy and he decided that this would be his perfect opportunity to ban me for good. As usual, his reason is without merit. I think it is important to point out that they boy wonder feels that you, as members, are his possessions: possessions that are not to be contacted by outside sources. I readily admit that I sent the above-mentioned e-mail of my own volition and was not sponsored in doing so by any other outside source. This has put here to explain what froy won't explain to you. He would have you venture a guess as to what I did, and furthermore let your imagination get the better of you. I have no shame, and I will tell the truth as I always have, for better or worse. So, those of you who wanted me gone for so long, you've finally gotten your wish. Now can all have your Kid is Dead Party. And I can cry in my Corn Flakes because I care so much. This board was fun when it was fun, but man when it sucks does it really suck. Enjoy it though; it's your world now. A world without Kid Afrika I've been here for a long time. I've seen a lot of people come and go: Mods,newbies and Veterans alike. It never really occurred to me why someone would walk away from such a tight-knit community as OA.com, but it has become painfully clear to me as of late.All of us have noticed the change, the drop in posts, the general fun gone. I remember a time where I would Log-into the board and have a sense of excitement: seeing what others have to say to my comments, taking a backseat and watching absolute mayhem unfold before my eyes, it was a great time. That time is gone now, and it's becoming crystal clear that it will never return. Many people have voiced their distain with the board, and the general response has always been "If you don't like it, leave." Well, I have decided that I have run my course, that I can go no further, and that it would be in my best interests to Leave OA.com. There has been a push as of late to return the board to some sense of its former glory, and many ideas have been proposed. However, at every single turn, it was said (and most often by Froy himself) that the board has evolved, and will never go back. As much as I hate to admit it, he is right. For me, it was always of question of "What can I do to make the board better?", but now it has been reduced to "How much fun can I have on the way down?" This destructive mentality, however fun it might seem, would only hasten the board's death. When I mention "death of the board", I don't mean a literal "404 ERROR" message, I mean that the board gets reduced to such a state that it is at best a nuisance to log-in, and at worst a bad idea altogether. At the pace the board is going at, it will happen. For me, it already has. Please don't get me wrong, I love the people on the board. However, I can no longer, ingood conscience, support a site with my patronage that is blatantly wrong. I have seen the board deteriorate to such a sad state that it is almost painful to watch. I've seen Off-Topic go from a Nut House mentality to "lets all hold hands and play". I've seen General Discussion go from Intelligent and thought-provoking forum about the Opie and Anthony show to "Lets all go to yet another Brother Joe Gig!". The Brother Joe gigs have over-taken the board functions, making all other gatherings seem stupid and trivial. I never went to the Bar 9 events to listen to Joe play, I went to be among friends. I would have gone even if, especially if, he didn't play. It truly is a sad state of affairs that GD has, for all intents and purposes, become Opie and Anthony's Spam. The "big name celebrities" post only when they have a gig to pimp, and we're all supposed to be thankful and kiss-ass? Sorry. Not my style. Never was and never will be.People have always said "if you don't like the board, then be pro-active, do something and change it." Well, I honestly tried my best. I did everything I knew, but I failed. I like to think that I made some small contribution to the board, but I can honestly say I did not. And I will not, so long as the board is run the way it is now: where originality is punished while fake-loyalty, conniving, lying and ass kissing is rewarded. Those involved know exactly what I'm talking about, so I wonâ€™t name names. Unless you dedicate yourself to these methods, you'll never get ahead on the board. I refuse to do that. I may not be popular, I may not have any sort of power, but I'll have my pride, and Pride's enough for me. In this atmosphere, not me, not anyone will change the board, so I have decided to stop avoiding the inevitable. The board will die, and no one can stop it. So long as the board runs as it is, it has no future. It pains me to say that, but I know I must. It is my most sincere hope that the site does become fun again, if not return to its former glory. However, even my fondest wishes will not let this board escape its fate. Now, it is not a question of "If", it is a question of "When". The board was in trouble, and needed new blood. When I accepted Froy's offer of Moderatorship, it was with the promise that I was being modded for the sole reason of helping to change the board. He wanted new ideas and fresh perspectives. However, I was lied to. Froy has made it painfully obvious to others and myself that the changes that OA.com so sorely needs will not be occuring, that protecting the status-quo is more important than changing it for the better.I hope that the people here can succeed where I, and many like me, have failed. I wish nothing more than the continued survival of OA.com, and the best for its posters. Hopefully, others will follow my lead and try to post interesting things, if not for the betterment of the board, then for their own personal amusement. Maybe they can find an answer that I could not; maybe they will turn the board in a new direction, one that I have failed to do. If nothing else, I hope your time on OA.com is fun, as mine has been. Hopefully, you will not have to come to my conclusion, hopefully you can find another way. I' m saddened beyond words that it has come to this, but I know my time to walk away is now. I hope I brought a smile to some of your faces, and I hope I have secured some small asterisk in the pages of history for OA.com, but only time will tell. For those of you who I have had the extreme honor of calling a "Friend", this changes absolutely nothing. You all have ways of contacting me, and I hope you still do. Those of you who have considered me an Enemy, thanks for the memories anyway. We had our scuffles, but rest assured that they all made me smile, if only for a second. I would like to leave you all with some words of advice. Stay out of the petty board drama. It is one of the main reasons the board is dying. The gossip and rumors, the lies and backstabbing hurt the board more than you can ever imagine. And if you do decide to get involved anyway, trust no one. Question everything you hear, believe even less. Question the motives of the people telling you things, question the validity of everything your told. Not everybody is a shining beacon of moral stability, in fact, only a select few actually are. Think for Yourself! Fuck the repercussions of what you post! This is what made the board great! I thought I left all that gossip shit behind when I left High School, I guess I was Wrong. Not everybody in "Authority" knows what their doing, and they shouldn't tell you how to THINK. Someone can tell you what you can and cannot post, but they CANNOT dictate how you THINK! Always remember that. Goodbye everyone, and thanks for the ride.

Hanger-On Registered: Feb. 02	I'm not saying people would volunteer to eat puke, I'm saying that Infinity would not allow it. If one of the vomit eaters were to catch a nasty disease, Infinity would be sued to high-heaven. Trust me, the lawyers wouldn't let this fly for a minute.

You didn't provide an intelligent point to counter. Number 1 - The contestants probably have to sign forms that absolve Infinity of any liability. You obviously didn't think of this. Number 2 - O&A are not D&M. D&M are pussies. Of course they'd run it by the lawyers first. If anything, D&M probably did a fake bit, "the lawyers won't let us do this, we're just too extreme for them". Number 3 - Even if the bags were switched, the toenails are enough to make anyone puke. So, you didn't really have anything useful, just your opinions, so I gave you my opinion, which I am now even more secure with, you are a fucking moron. "dream yourself awake" he calls "an eternity awaits us all open your eyes and be with me forever.."

Hey, Raheem my brother, did you ever wonder why when they were overhyping this "bit" they never let on that they had more than one set of tickets? Or that they never once mentioned that they were going to do this? Perhaps they knew that "standards and practices" wouldn't allow it given prior notice. Therefore, they had to spring this bit as a surprise. Anyway, that's just my opinion. Fuck you if you don't like it. Gonzostyle is Buttmunch & SG's Dog's Bitch.....

So long as the board runs as it is, it has no future. It pains me to say that, but I know I must. It is my most sincere hope that the site does become fun again, if not return to its former glory. However, even my fondest wishes will not let this board escape its fate. Now, it is not a question of "If", it is a question of "When". The board was in trouble, and needed new blood. When I accepted Froy's offer of Moderatorship, it was with the promise that I was being modded for the sole reason of helping to change the board. He wanted new ideas and fresh perspectives. However, I was lied to. Froy has made it painfully obvious to others and myself that the changes that OA.com so sorely needs will not be occuring, that protecting the status-quo is more important than changing it for the better.I hope that the people here can succeed where I, and many like me, have failed. I wish nothing more than the continued survival of OA.com, and the best for its posters. Hopefully, others will follow my lead and try to post interesting things, if not for the betterment of the board, then for their own personal amusement. Maybe they can find an answer that I could not; maybe they will turn the board in a new direction, one that I have failed to do. If nothing else, I hope your time on OA.com is fun, as mine has been. Hopefully, you will not have to come to my conclusion, hopefully you can find another way. I' m saddened beyond words that it has come to this, but I know my time to walk away is now. I hope I brought a smile to some of your faces, and I hope I have secured some small asterisk in the pages of history for OA.com, but only time will tell. For those of you who I have had the extreme honor of calling a "Friend", this changes absolutely nothing. You all have ways of contacting me, and I hope you still do. Those of you who have considered me an Enemy, thanks for the memories anyway. We had our scuffles, but rest assured that they all made me smile, if only for a second. I would like to leave you all with some words of advice. Stay out of the petty board drama. It is one of the main reasons the board is dying. The gossip and rumors, the lies and backstabbing hurt the board more than you can ever imagine. And if you do decide to get involved anyway, trust no one. Question everything you hear, believe even less. Question the motives of the people telling you things, question the validity of everything your told. Not everybody is a shining beacon of moral stability, in fact, only a select few actually are. Think for Yourself! Fuck the repercussions of what you post! This is what made the board great! I thought I left all that gossip shit behind when I left High School, I guess I was Wrong. Not everybody in "Authority" knows what their doing, and they shouldn't tell you how to THINK. Someone can tell you what you can and cannot post, but they CANNOT dictate how you THINK! Always remember that. Goodbye everyone, and thanks for the ride.
