I had a lot of resentment built up since being the last person left on 360, took me a while to accept things as they were and move on. I always opposed the way the group was being promoted when new people that came in tried to change what we were and what we'd always been about. I didn't get it..as hostile as it sounds, we were cool..we didn't need to push for new ppl. It wasn't about teams and scores, it was just friendly competition and banter. Since Fusion and current gen dropped I think it all just went mental and somewhere along the way what it started as..and why BigBow started it got lost.
I could go on and on but I ain't got the energy tbh XD
Make it Bone only is my vote, I'm always about if anyone wants to discuss it.

Can't edit: Just wanted to add..no animosity or any bad feelings intended to anyone old or new intended by that post.

Bit harsh lol. What about Mower, for example, who isn't on Xbox but a part of the OTHG?Originally Posted by JoeRegular Go to original postI understand Bosses' concerns though, and I agree, if you aren't doing anything with the group or play tracks, even if only occasionally, why bother. It was cool in the old days, and it was a friendly tight knit unit. We still have that on Xbox though, just not as much competition as the old days lol. Nobody hardly plays Trials enough but a new game should re-ignite some (friendly) competition.
We'd grind and grind and for a laugh, grind a bit more. Sometimes until daft hours in the early morning, looking at you Phil
Boss, that's not far off a ten on the Post o Meter.
I feel for Mower, he's in exactly the same position as me XD
I joined the PS4 OTHG as I've been here almost from the start and it allowed me to maintain a tangible link to you guys. I had my ups and downs feeling like you lot were treating us like a turd in a swimming pool but eventually I got over it all.
I think Bone only is what BB wants and after a lot of thought..I don't begrudge him it.
Myself, Mower and anyone else that's become a real member will maintain the links they've made regardless. And let's face it, how you gonna stop me coming in here
I'm just one guy tho, I'm probably wrong, nobody listens to me anyway etc XD
Love you Boss. Having a strong bond with family and friends is important and I know you're a great guy because I can see you value that and cherish the times together.Originally Posted by bigbow62 Go to original post
I really respect this OTHG and all its members, you especially Boss for creating it. I'm not trying to change the "norm" or push anybody out of their comfort zones.
I really liked the Xbox 360 days of Evolution. I really like Xbox and like that you guys play on it. Please keep doing what keeps you happy, and let that happiness overflow to others.
The reason I'm speaking up about this is because others and myself having difficulty accessing Xbox One Live Chat. I would love to get on with you all chatting it up and I bet I would be on daily too.
My only reason not being on Xbox One was that scary anti-consumer launch it had. Wow, it had strict restrictions about gaming. That's long over with and they really turned it around.
Ditching the Players from other platforms (PS4/PC) of being OTHG isn't my call ultimately.
Those (PS4/PC) players might be proud of being over 30 and like being in a group. A group that likes to play Trials.
They have friends to chat with in the gang. These things you enjoy, they also enjoy. How important is it to take that away from someone for not being there in your daily life?
Mower, just wanted to make the point again..my post wasn't trying to single anybody out or make anyone feel alienated. I've never felt you were rocking the boat so to speak.
To be totally honest...I was stunned the question of whether the gang should be console specific was being brought up again. Took me a day or so to think it through enough to be able to post without being a d1ck...and I've probably failed miserably there anyway lol.
I was annoyed at first, the question instantly makes me as a PS4 player feel unwelcome, expendable..and that's after being here a long time. Thinking more on it I realised I was being selfish. It is BB's group and ( again, if I'm wrong..sorry) it's not what he set it out to be. My vote of Bone only was to reflect that only, not an indication of how I feel about any other member/s.
I've always got arsey about the turnover of members here tbh. I've been part of the Trials community a lot longer than the OTHG and by constantly trying to keep OTHG members on my 360 friends list I ended up removing loads of long time Trials ppl. Eventually I stopped doing it and started looking hostile to new members, it was a Catch 22 lol.
Again...Mower, you seem like a lovely bloke and I apologise if this has seemed like I'm trying to get us kicked out![]()
Yaaah buddy.. high five! (*clap!)Originally Posted by JoeRegular Go to original post
But.., you're a OTHG representative executive lutenist ranking officer... I don't want that taking away from you.
We are soooo close to another Trials game. Keep that beautiful bearded chin up brother!

It's really all right, I actually agree with you. I'm not bothered in the slightest about myself loosing the OTHG tag by my name. My hearts going out to the good
bunch we got going on. They are good people and they are doing good with that OTHG tag. People like Devils_Demon and SwampBalls are building tracks
for us all. People like Finn and JP Stream on Twitch.
Everyone is different, I have never been of the opinion that everyone in the OTHG should act the same way, I understand that boss hankers after the old times where everyone was on the same console but that has gone.
I don't think people in the OTHG should be bound by what device they are on but their love of the trials games.
I think it is cool that the OTHG offers a place where older trials fans can feel part of a community, obviously the more you put into something the more you will get out of it but this will always vary between person to person.
I think things will improve when the new game comes out if it good, as the majority of the OTHG on all devices are not playing trials much atm.
Boss nice way to get the thread moving lol
Ok the OTHG is a way of life for me not just a console or a game being part of this group means the world to me and that's on PS4 and xb1 I know I play a lot on the xb1 but I still feel part of the OTHG on the PS4 might not party up the same but the OTHG community thread gets love which is good
I say just keep things the way they are booped does a great job running the PS4 side of things
I do see the point that boss is saying about being a name on a friend list there are members on the OTHG that I don't know or have on my list
So I would say to be part of the gang you should have some active part by either posting chatting etc otherwise you are just a name on a leaderboard
There will hopefully be a new trials game along soon and that will get this place buzzing again 😊👍
Keep on riding trial bro's
