Moose & Dis: A Look Back
It's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride here on the Bomb lately. I shan't beat around the bush - I'm talking about the controversial permanent banning of regular (and popular) GB users SuperMooseman and Disgaeamad . I'm not going to dwell too much on the events that have transpired, but instead I'm going to share a couple of tributes for both of these undeniably memorable members of this excell...
It's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride here on the Bomb lately. I shan't beat around the bush - I'm talking about the controversial permanent banning of regular (and popular) GB users SuperMooseman and Disgaeamad. I'm not going to dwell too much on the events that have transpired, but instead I'm going to share a couple of tributes for both of these undeniably memorable members of this excellent online community.
SuperMooseman SuperMooseman iss an all-round awesome guy. As a Wiki editor, he's been second to none in terms of the scope and detail of his contributions. In addition to his excellently-written articles, he's provided an additional service to the GB community by regularly using his Wiki powers to change page pictures by request. His blogs are just as well-crafted as his articles, and he also contributed in the form of guides; Moosey has written walkthroughs for both Spy Fox and The Curse of Monkey Island exclusively for the site, with Vinny describing the latter as "really nice stuff".. Renowned as something of a joker and a serial prankster, Moosey is famous for the construction of such elaborate stories as 00Sweep and Sweep & Hamz: The Early Years. Most recently, he masterminded "The Cover Up", and worked with other users to create the masterfully edited conclusion to this week's Question of the Week response video. His wicked sense of humour was not only restricted to the site - he is famous among the site's userbase for his unique presence in the Giant Bomb IRC, where he can still be found indulging in his favourite pastime of hustling.
Disgaeamad Disgaeamad's on-site presence has always been felt but never explicitly in-your-face. He's made a substantial number of detailed contributions to the site's Wiki component, not least of which was his monopoly on the Touhou series of games. His blogs were infrequent but always an entertaining read, either because of their humorous nature or their thought-provoking content. It must not be forgotten that Dis was also one of the four figureheads responsible for Giant Bomb's first unofficially unofficial community podcast, Bomb Should Have A Face. Even now, he is an almost constant presence in the Giant Bomb IRC, where he can often be found "piledriving bitches". 
As these short paragraphs indicate, both Moose and Dis have been important parts of this online community since day one. I think it's important to think about them in this respect. While we can only speculate as to exactly what has occurred over the last couple of days, we can also be certain of their invaluable contributions to this website over the last thirteen months. Ultimately, above all else, it should be those things that they are remembered for. Thanks for reading, guys. See you around.
