Just like this isn't what people would consider dicE, it's just dyelife and 5 guys who are suddenly associated with the name. Not a big deal to me, I like seeing all the old names on the team list, but I can understand people who were friends with a team of that high a profile being disappointed.

While a team like hb had a fairly consistent roster the last couple of years, the earlier days it looked a bit like this:


In the dinosaur days they looked something like this


I doubt that more than 3% of the present dod community even know who hb-Skwirut is, and he was the guy that started hb back in 2001.

so yeah like other folks are saying - this whole same-tag-different-roster is a pretty old concept.

Skwirut has come back a couple times, I think a lot of people know him. And I'm not saying roster changes are unusual, I'm saying it's unusual to have a team reformed with only one former member. If endofone and gh0d came back and we decided to remake h8 and pick up a few players, people would say "oh, h8's back". If I decided to make a team of 5 random people never associated with the name and then call it h8, people would probably say "what the fuck is this guy doing?"

So this is really a "fuck you" post towards Kevin for taking the x[m] name and running with it, right? I.e., letting kicken55 join.

edit: ^ charles bronson, fuck yeah.

Actually 3h and db both had 2/3 of an "original" roster.

Really? My bad then. I was thinking of this http://web.archive.org/web/200307172141 ... dodo&id=35 as "original" or also a lot of the people who were on RLTW, but I'll admit my dod memory is not that great.

I was actually making the point that it doesn't even matter but I think that got misinterpreted and I didn't mean to offend . People have been remaking teams for a long time. Sometimes with 1 original member. I've personally been on 3 or 4 different versions of teams with the same name. Dod in 2013 is serious business.
