Loves and adores? It's a fucking thread... Maybe humorous, but like all humorous things, they get old.
It doesn't get old as long as Mak has new capers to post. There's quite a bit of variety, more than any soap opera, and it just keeps on coming.

Yes we all know Mak is an idiot. HAHA he's an NGF fag, HAHA look at this photoshop I made, HAHA look at this stupid movie I made.
YAWN
Again, it's much more than just this. It's like a soap opera that never runs out of new material, and there's a ton of variety in it- many subplots if you will, and since they're real, it's even more entertaining than a television series.

We aren't digging up old threads on AM Neo Geo and Brent "teh pony killer" and memorializing them.
No thread of the past can compare to this. None has been as long and consistently varied and hilarious (at least that I know of). And the topic itself is not only hilarious, but an undying theme in man's great struggle for self-actualization. Perhaps only the very deep and sophisticated, such as myself, Stinky-Dinkins, Abasuto and some others, can comprehend this.

So you tried to help Mak. You want a prize? Go host your own charity site for Mak if you're that concerned for his well being. The majority of us could give two shits about your AIM conversations.
WRONG! Many members may not care about the AIM conversations, but many do. And whether it's specifically the AIM conversations they care about is irrelevant, as I am just doing my part to contribute to the thread and sustain it as a whole. Just because you don't doesn't mean otherwise. Want proof? Look at the number of views on that thread.

I'm sorry you invested 3/4 of your posts in that thread, but you shouldn't feel the need to justify your posts by dragging this crap out longer than it needs to be.
I didn't post but maybe a couple dozen times on the forums before that thread existed. This is only because nothing else on these boards has so engaged me. So what? Does having the majority of my posts in that thread make me not a Neo Geo collector or fan?
I don't feel a need to justify the posts, and therefore that is not the reason I am trying to perpetuate the thread and its legend.
And the thread isn't going "longer than it needs to be" as long as there are dozens of devoted Makismo fans, maybe hundreds, who keep reading it with avid amusement.
It doesn't "need to be" anything, just like the world doesn't "need" you to exist.
The world doesn't "need" great works of art, literature and music. The world would keep functioning if all poetry and opera were destroyed. But wouldn't that suck?
The thread is no different. The world doesn't "need" it, but it's a damn nice thing to have around, and it can only bring good and happiness to peoples' lives as long as they keep enjoying it not hurting themselves in doing so.
