I always to pikey was an adjective describing someone with an extremely strong British accent that makes it hard to understand 'em. Never heard it as a noun before.

Traveler meaning thieving gypsies and similar stereotypes, right? Or rather that's the correct term for them but that's how they get seen quite often.

However your blog is so bloody boring Ben it actually hurts to read.
Half of it reads like a high schooler's excursion to aquariums and assorted space centres and museums while the other half is hunting down obscure WC trivia while collecting lots of toy fishes...in his twenties.
Oh and he votes Republican: Romney.

Okay, so at this point everyone has read the OP and has seen the horrible abyss that is CIG's Ben Lesnick. This fine commando, thank you Truga, has summarized how women were/are treated on an official forum run by Mr. Ben Lesnick.

Truga posted:

I'll post some poo poo that shows how bad big Ben is. This is long, it's a thread by some goonette, trying to make a women's social group so they could talk in private. It went about as well as you'd expect. Posting as links because the files are fairly big.

https://udba.org/sc/brownseawomen07.jpg

After this, thread got closed by Ben, and a couple of goons including the OP got probations, the reason being "trolling the community" IIRC. This only changed once people outside the forums started calling CIG out on misogyny, which got the thread cleaned up, in a really neat way which just removed all the hateful comments, as if to remove evidence of something bad ever happening. None of the shitlords posting hate got probated.

After this debacle, Ben actually tried to run the forums a bit better (likely because Sandi or Chris poo poo down his neck for there being bad press on a couple gaming news sites, rather than because they wanted a healthy community), but it didn't last all that long.

Games journalists have been contacted and given the run-down and choice quotes, all their research work has been done for them so all that's left to do is write the story and publish it.

So probably nothing's going to happen.

Yes. Goons, if you aren't tweeting, emailing, posting this stuff to any and all game news places....you're wrong. You don't want to be wrong. Do you?

We were young and immature, think back to what GBS was ten years ago, it was a bunch of Olsen twins legality countdowns, ironic racism, and stupid poo poo like that. Not that it's OK, but that was what immature jackasses posted on the internet back then.
We were dumb, guys, dumb enough to see the Wing Commander movie in theaters.

Not as bad as being dumb enough to play Wing Commander when TIE Fighter exists
