Well they finally found a way to end us for good. System Wars Bets is no more. it was awesome while it lasted, almost 8 months, atleast at the point i got there. it was more then just people making bets, it was a hangout, and a fun place to be. some of the best stuff was off-topic stuff. ill never forget the all out character brawl that me, deadman, and supermario had one day, spanning like 8 pages. 
it was a lot of work and very professionally done, but we did it, and made it work. i sucks to see that all taken away by people on a power trip that dont want us there. the community was very good at supporting us and keeping that place going, if it werent for them, we wouldnt have been there in the first place.
many of the members have already left and moved on to other things, but i dont know what ill do yet or where ill go if i go anywhere. yes gamespot has royally screwed me over in recent months, by destroying its great staff out of greed, destroying system wars bets, and just all around letting this site go way down hill in quality. this used to be an amazing place. ive been a member here for 4 years, and a constant visitor for 2 years prior to that. ive seen a lot here, a lot of big moments, flops and high scores, all the E3 coverage, and many other things. this used to be the place where id get all my gaming news because they used to be so in depth and quick. but now i see it in a shambles.
not sure what ill do yet, but one things for sure, its only getting worse. 
to all the members of the bets thread, i had the best time with you all, it was fun while it lasted, and it may have only been some stupid online forum, but enjoyed talking and joking with you guys everyday. maybe we'll all meet up somewhere else one day and do it again. 
*edit* heres the comment i was posting to KC's blog, till i figured out that 'someone' locked it.
its obvious we got deleted and turned in because the mods didnt want us there anymore bugging them. Casey can play good cop and make it seem like its not his fault, but didnt do anything to help us out either or keep us informed about why we were being taken down. 8 months we lasted and Now we get something from legal department. something isnt right. after all the PM's and him ignoring us i think hes as much a part of this as you know who.
whatever, its over, were done, hope the mods are happy now. system wars turned to crap long before we got kicked out anyway. thanks Sub for the wonderful remodeling, you did a fabulous job
