Not a screenshot but this is the thread where Fourm Tryhards BTFO'd Sapphire.

I got banned for telling a mod I wouldnt change my opinion on something just because he told me to. The group is great for members who have been there a while, but if you havent, you get looked down on for having a different opinion than someone else.

Sapphire technically has more posts in it, but the "discussion" is just people making single responses to topics and never coming back to see what posts have been made. There is no conversation in most threads. Many are just surveys that people only look at once to make their post and never come back to.

Sapphire, a popular gathering spot for many unfunny tennagers to share their dull lives, is fanny flustered that people like FT, a group of mature, knowledgeable persons armed only with the brotherhood and friendship they've forged through time.

Everyone telling everyone to stop taking private groups seriously

Sits here and defends their groups honor like it is a literal war.

Never change, b.net

Difference is, you dont get banned for having a differing opinion in most groups. Sapphire is an exception.

Group war?

I notice a lot of group negativity in this thread. It is like a high school lunch room. Every Group is unique in it's own way. No group is the "superior group", There are many things that I like in all groups I a in like good friends, a place to hang out, and good people to talk to.

FCAW is cool to me because there are people to play with and game nights.

Sapphire is cool to discuss because it is active and people are willing to discuss many topics.

Mythic Members has a lot of older members and a wide variety of topics.

15th April, 2012. Some things just never change, eh?

Also, who are/were Forum Tryhards?

It was basically just another off topic forum that mostly centered around being a tryhard at Halo. Some of them might still be around unless bungie nuked private groups.

That's what I was thinking. If Sapph and FT were some of the largest/active at the time, and one went offsite, you'd think the other would be bumping around somewhere.

Hell, Septagon/Sep7agon wasn't really a thing until it just appeared after a myriad of proto-offsites failed.

I was thinking about that the other day. Are there any other offsites other than Sep7 and Sapph? You'd think there'd be more.

Thank you very much! Now I just gotta wait for somebody to active my account.

It was a group comprised of top/good halo players. The name was mostly tongue in cheek, the group was pretty casual for the most part. It was one of the more active groups on B.net in the later years of the site. Stirred some shit up with Sapphire for shits and giggles, like what I posted but one time Deej was doing some sort of art contest and users got to vote for the winner, FT was siding spartain ken because Sapphire was dumping votes on some shitty artwork one of their members did, the shit trashed the thread in the Community forum and Deej got fed up and the reward, a T shirt, was cut in half, one half sent to Ken the other to the Sapphire member.

Can not for the life of me find that contest thread it was a shitshow, would have posted it as well.

I think at one point anyone in FT was declined in trying to join Sapphire, that's how mad they got lol.

.................

i just realized fucking rocketman got the last thread in the halo 3 forum

THAT'S RIGHT BITCH

Did they ever change below radar in BF3?

Nevermind
