Ok, so, I have been seeing a lot of old D.O.O.M.F.A.R.T. threads around lately, and know it has something to do with standing up to Mods. So, what was the point of it, and why was it started?
A bunch of peeps who pretend to be overthrowing Dakka's moderators. Mostly just like to hang out on X-Box Live, their own Facebook group, and the OT Forum.
They do. DOOMFART hasn't ever done anything besides de-escalate threads that get to serious. It's really funny when Shadow Metal-bombs a thread into submission.

Yes, they lock these harmless threads so that they can have their srs discussions about politics and religion. And then lock those when they grow bored and talk about Lady Gaga or fething ponies.

Looks like I missed the lock button. And the humor one, too.

Basically anyone that posts predominantly in the OT forum should be ignored.
The OT forum these days is utter trash. Back in my day...

The Polito form is dead, insect. Are you afraid? What is it you fear? The end of your trivial existence?

That is a very large generalisation.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
