Happy 10th Birthday 5punk – Gaming

Today 5punk.co.uk is ten years old. What began as a function for likeminded people to organise gaming sessions has, in those years, become a very close community in its own right. Many members, many games, have been and gone through the forums. Even the forum has died and been reborn. But the constant which makes 5punk the place it is remains true. The members, whoever they may be, their puerile but good natured sense of humour, love of gaming, and penchant for bumming horses.

The theme from last night, though, was trolling. Or rather anti-trolling and the proximity of that to being an actual troll. It’s a fine line.

I fucking hated these things.
