Why is th eforum boring lately ?
well, i was wondering cause lately it seemed like nothing happens, people just wait for updates and they talk like thrash in RI which was never even meant for that. you know guys, i liked the time where games poped up and times where RPG were going on, anyone remember the good old MOOGLE thread ? it was an awesome thing it moved a lot ofus. same hapenned with RPG's like SolidSnake Metal Gear !
so i wonder why is everyone, (and i know lots of kids are there) are acting stupider then they use to be ?
won't name names and i ask of you all who wish to participate int his to not name any either.
i just wonder why there are people who changed in a worst way then ever ?
i think the cause of this problem is the people not the emotions or topics you create.
i just think people think RANDOM INSANITY = acting stupid... while it actually isn't !
i mean even general comment and startegy isn't the same, lots of things there shouldn't even be there !
to be honest i think the only section which didn't fall in that stupidity phase is NEW FEATURES which even if the new features are stupid, they do are on topic which all the other are off topics...
anyway i just wonder why this community has changed so much... even old members changed to the worst of what they were ! and i think that is killing the community !
what do you think ?

I rarely even post in the RI section for obvious reasons. Though I do remember good topics in the general section back then you and I use to have alot of interesting debates on marve| and Capcom characters. The only sections in this forum that appeal to me is the "Unknown Section" -vips know what Im talking about, graphics section and new features because I like reading about the updates and progress of SFO flash online game. Though anyways not saying the other sections are pointless. Just saying that its a waste of my time to read them.. Anyhow I'll try to make some threads in the general section once again my topics usually are interesting and not boring.. since Im not a boring ass person.

SSJKarma
11-18-2004, 08:39 PM
some of this is true, i can't argue with that...
the names i am speaking about are mostly those from 2001 and 2002, i am not very aware of the recent people except perhaps those who do post and i must say that lots of them just can't post right, but as some understood, its to us to show how its done...
no what i was wondering was about those people, those friends i use to know... but those people got lives, they live it, i can't blame it, but when they comes back... they have changed, they aren't the same... want names, razz is one of them... he used to rock the place, as weird as it is he created the insanity and was a very talented user at it ! but ever since he left, i saw him changed... he just isn't the same as he used to be !
he's not alone in this...
Asshole, KKS, TarkanX, SBYRD5, MastaQ and even a few others that were simply banned for i don't even know which reasons !
they all changed...
2kwarrior also changed...
in any case, i can't blame them for coming less or even post less then usual...
but why have they changed about it ?
they were cool, why having changed ?
i'll bring back my old thread...
people liked it a bit at least...
Angel-Eyes
11-19-2004, 01:28 PM
2kwarrior also changed...
yeah, Ive noticed a large change in him......not sure if it was for the good or not....he just seems less "uptight" :whatsthat:

I still say dat...yall old/older ppl on this forum..yall lettin the new ppl control yall...yall should be teachin them lessons. Btw ppl change for lots of reasons.
i bet dat if theres isnt no more "no post count in r.i" RI, would be so queit anymore. it wouldnt be queit anymore if the topics actaully makes sense

Halo II has simply nothing to do with it, its been like this for almost a year now, that's why a few of the mods already asked TMyApp to completely shut down RI since it had no more purpose. but other mods fought for it to stay there and it did, now what i wonder is why have we fought for if all that is in RI is all retarded topics ?
i mean come on, it is a place for insanity and random comments but in no way must you act all stupid in it cause there is a limit between STUPIDITY and INSANITY, i know its a small limit, yet it is there. but most of you just go too far and cross that line.
as for the changes in others, i know changes is good, but what's the point of changing who you are in the first place ?
can't blame them for wanting to be better and take their lives more seriously, but i must say that changing who we are is just something people shouldn't do ! i must also say that most of the ones i named changed because they became NWO's or MODERATORS or even ADMINS...
is that the truth about being a mod ?
changing so we aren't fun anymore ?
Fun is in the heart not in the job... when you lose the fun factor, you lose everything you become a machine. and that is what this topic is all about, making people realise how machine we became in here. we post, we get post counts and we post again so our post counts gets even higher ! its all repetitive now...
can't this forum be like it was a year and a half ago ?
can't it be as fun as it was ?
i know this forum isn't as exciting as the game itself, but this is still a fun place to be, so why making it that bad ?
let me tell you a small story about myself...
it starts in a time where almost every topic i was reading thru... a time where i could easily pass around an hour just to read all of them not even answering for i needed more then an hour to do so ! this era is gone, its again that time of the year where people don't post much and that brings my reading time to around 15 minutes ! that's a big difference if you ask me !
but again i told myself that it would pass, hell i been saying this to myself for the last 6 months and the forum still hasn't come back in track.
thus my story ends in a dull and pathetic way because in the last 6 months, fun is what i lacked when coming here !
i just hope this thread will make some of you realised the truth and try to make this place a better world, for i alone is not capable of it !

the problem you're facing right now is not the mods doing their job its the number of people who think RI is all about breaking the forum rules and do things they wouldn't do in any other forum, they think they can do anything without getting flamed so they do whatever they want which is wrong.

Alot of people who used to visit the forum grew up. They have school and some even college. For instance me, I loved coming to the forum and having fun torturing, I mean talking to people. Also, you say RI and other topics are completely trashed... well, whos job is it to clean it up? We as members are very limited. It is up to the mods and admins to take care of this place, keeping it fun, and lively.
It might sound a little mean but you nwos, mods and admins kind of turn people off from this forum. When it was booming with people all you did was block and ban... I guess these are the consequences.

its like you having a peice of paper witht he rules on it, one of them being "no strings". we find a string that entertains us for hours, and two months after we found it, after spending hours and hours looking at the string, you come in and say "NO STRINGS!" and take away our string :(
that's the reason i, and a couple of my freinds dont come around anymore.

Really think people here are over-reacting. ITS JUST A FORUM and especially this type of forum. Where here there isnt much interest or need to post topics other than for getting Updates, Announcing Events, Tournaments, Suggestions Comments towards the game, and Reporting bugs and problems. Now saying that there really isnt a need for SFO to have a "non-boring" as you call it forum. I suggest many of you get your heads out the clouds, stop bitching and for once in your life do something thats actually worth mentioning... Also after saying that if you dont like SFO please leave everything in this forum should be related to SFO anyways and other stuff is just add-on. Its better to have people who know how to treat others and cooperate than have some morons who think they are the poop and couldnt be more wrong and cause problems. Thus said ZPOWER... yes a I RoX All

There is more need Zpower. This forum not only allows you to talk about SFO but it also gives you the opportunity of meeting new people that are interested in the same things you are. If this forum was all about SFO, there really wouldn't be much to do but wait for updates and that would turn this forum into a graveyard. I mean, some people come here just to talk about other topics.
I think TMyApp made the right decision keeping RI open.
And no one is bitching. We are just discussing the issue SSJKARMA presented. Thats all.

YOU have no right to tell someone they arentt allowed somewhere or DISCRIMINATE towards a certain person or people. This is the main problem YOU seem to have and a few others. Seems to me some people on this forum forget that they MAY THINK they are the poop in reality are NOTHING in anyone eles view. I CANNOT be buLLIED, AND REFUSE to be made a joke to COWARDS who post on forums with words alone. So vf I'll say this last thing.. go screw yourself homo.. and PLEASE make some huge reply to what I said. I will not give a rat's ass bitch.Words mean nothing to me at the moment.

in any cases, feel free to talk as you want, but the fact that this place as lost its entertainment, is what causes the stupidity phase... the fact that we banned or warned a lot of people doesn't have anything to do with it !
for all i know, when one breaks a rule, that person must be punished or else everyone will do the same.
fact, we stopped... no sorry, never have any mods looked thru the RI section when actually it was our job to clean it up...what did it gives us... a section full of bs and now if we we do anything about any topic we get dissed, flamed trashed talked and all that... what do you want us to do now, let the thrash go on and see the forum dieing ? sorry i'm not gonna let that happen ! i like this place and will do everything i can to keep it alive and fun for others !
MastaQ, want to do some cleaning, go on, last time i tryed i got sued and i even saw lots of tiopics getting repinned by other mods, so by far if you are on my side, then i'm happy to see one actually wants to do its job ! now i just hope you weren't sarcastic about it !

then go on penzel, stop mposting here if you think this is the worst place you seen up to now !
for my part BG is just another RIP OFF of the original forum which is by the way the original !
but feel fre, we're not holding you !
as for the mods, well if you become a mod int he game you become one int he forum !
first thing you should be aware of, is that the first priority of these mods, me included, is to moderator the CHAT ROOMS not the forum. but the persons all taken into accounts are all old players who barely ever plays the game. when TMYAPP decided to had NWO'S that was for the game not for the forum, and chosed players who actually played the game lots, but you can't missed to notice that those players PLAY THE GAME injstead of MODERATING it as they were suppose to !
thus you get these problems, BG doesn't cause it doesn't have any GAMES to MODERATE as well thus the why there is this much mods around here !
if you don't like it, we're not holding you back, just go on and stop posting, no one will care if you do !

BG doesn't cause it doesn't have any GAMES to MODERATE as well thus the why there is this much mods around here !
and half of them don't do jack poop or are terrible mods.
this is OUR forum. without the people, this forum si nothing. WE call the shots, you only weed out the bad seeds.
it's not your job to be mean, its your job to be fliping fair. You should start sometime.

Once again, I've been dragged into yet another topic here by a friend... I didn't read your post, Penzel, simply because I got through the first two and a half pages and couldn't stand another post from Karma. I want to first insert a thought. Karma, don't EVER blame others for not knowing how to post when it takes me five minutes to read what you write simply because everything's jumbled up, your grammar is completely messed up, and you don' tknow how to spell. Don't be a hypocrite.
I must now take off my Communist/Nazi gloves for the rest of this post...
Next up on my list of things to say is: VF is right. The moderators here (Aside from a select few. I can honestly only name three.) are way, way, WAY too strict, and the way BG is set up allows for much more freedom of expression and even a better support-system of being yourself... something that is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to do here. Now, to name the three moderators I have absolutely no problems with are The Shiz, DM, and Warmor. I wanted to say that so there isn't some big secret.
I want to take this time now to go ahead and counter Karma's future statement about "NO ! ONE ! IS ! KEEPING ! YOU ! HERE, ! GO ! AWAY !!!" How? I refer to the fact that I've already left this community, and the ONLY reason I EVER visit is if a friend needs my help. I reside at BG, and that brings me to my next point.
BG is in NO WAY - shape, form, or fashion - a rip-off of PX. How? Everything about how it is set-up shows the difference. As does the moderation and administration and the overall focus of the forum. I think I read somewhere how you're against clans, but to be honest... clans have always been a good thing for SFO. They keep things more competitive and fun.
Anyways, Penzel, I hope this post answers your question. This is blaze985, and I approve this message. :unclesam:

Not when I have anything to say about it.
MuAHaAHAhhAHahAHhAhAHAHahA
but in all seriousness, I have to agree. BG tends to embrace the "Freedom of Speech" amendment, but here, and I mean no offense to any of the mods/admins by this, if you fart and don't say "safety," you get a huge swift kick in the jewels in the form of a ban, or some other sort of punishment (negative post count, etc). And the bad language filter? Once again, no offense, but godforbid one of these 12+ year-olds sees a curse word on an online forum that they surely hear at least five times a day in their own home or infinitely more in their school cafeteria (or school in general).
And Karma, I'm going to have to disagree with you when you say that BG is just a PX ripoff. Very strongly, I might add. I'm going to have to disagree with you to the point that I can't even express so, due to language filter and the fact that I don't feel like getting banned again so soon.
Calling BG a PX ripoff is the SAME as calling Senshukentaikai a PX ripoff. And I know you don't have the audacity to say that. BG was originally created to try and replace Senshukentaikai, created as a home for the clans, which were never embraced by PX and therefore didn't have a place after Senshuk went down. Just because BG was and is more popular than PX as far as the more intelligible members is no reason to call it a ripoff. We can't help it that PX is boring, sans the occasional debate before it gets flooded with nonsense and spam after the second page by people who don't know what they're talking about.

for all i know, anything that refers to SFO is a rip off of the original site, and SENSHUK doesn't bypass that law, i always considered it a RIP OFF !
but BG might be more for the freedom of speech but by what i heard, BG also has the most stupid members seeing how the SFPOA got bigger because of BG !
oh and by the way, BG got that big because TMyApp and MastaQ had an arrangement to let mastaq do some BG announcements in here which both sites uses to make themselves bigger !
thus those who knows BG will surely learn about ProjectX and the other way around does works as well !

Just because a forum has a topic in common with another doesn't make the newer forum a ripoff of the older one.
For example, all BG and PX have in common are the members, and that they have to do with XMvsSF. BG has no General Comments and Strategies, no bugs and Problem reports, no new features, nothing about OFFICIAL challenges and tournaments. By the same token, PX has no sections pertaining to specific strategies, nor does PX have any sections pertaining to clan forums and clan challenges/tournaments. Therefore, how is one a ripoff of the other, when it doesn't even have the general categories in common with each other? The only thing they TRULY have in common are the members. The XMvsSF game is only a very small subsection of the BG community.
Calling BG or Senshuk a PX ripoff is like calling every DBZ site/forum that was made after the FIRST DBZ site/forum ever created an entire series of ripoffs. Catch my drift? Your logic is rather...irrational.
And BG has the dumbest members? First off, the SFPOA was a joke. I had vets in the SFPOA, as jokes. YOU were in the SFPOA. TMyApp was in the SFPOA. Get my point?
Second off, at least when the OLD BG was around (i havn't really tried this with the ####G), we were actually able to hold an intelligible debate. I tried participating in debate threads here not too long ago....pertaining to the war, religion, and science....and they were all filled with spam after page 2. And the one or two people that actually TRIED to debate continually refused to acknowledge my points and, in an abridged version of their entire argument, were saying things along the lines of "lol im not a monky ur a monky ur gonna go to hell boi god's gonna kill u." Hell, check out the Street Fighter vs Dragon Ball thread by TarkanX, and then take note of how many people actually debated, and how many people were just like "lol goku can destroz da universe the sf doods cant even go super sayin."

One of the main reasons we can't hold many debates like you said or the reason some Mods are so strict is due to the rate of members join this community. People are drawn here because of the game. Then they see the forum button and come here. There are tons of members joining everyday. There are over 12,000 members on this forum. Granted, thats over a 3 year span, and not all of them post, but to get my point across, there are a lot of members who do post, and new ones, and you can't really control the rate at which the simpleton's grow. Thus, astute are easily overrun by dim whitted posts. I've never been to BG, so I don't know how it's run, but I'm sure the population is smaller and easier to control, unlike here, so that is why some people enjoy BG so much, for the intelligent topics they can maintain. Even so, I've noticed this, and I'm hard at work to make this forum a better, fun place to be. I've got a load of ideas, I'm just waiting for the other Mods here to either approve them or dissapprove them. Then, I'll start taking action.

Just the kind of post I was hoping for, Warmor.
I have to agree pretty much whole-heartedly.
In regards to PX in general, it is rather discouraging, because such an influx of immature members causes the strict disciplinary actions (which you stated) is what kind of makes it.....rather prosaic. Not saying it's necessarily a problem caused by moderation, which I may have alluded to earlier, but it all stems from the influx of new forumers.

When this place is busy and exciting, that's when the mods have a job to do and that's when people get banned every two seconds.... which sucks.
When the forum is slow and nothing is popping up, that's when the mods have nothing to do... nothing to lock, no one to ban... and thats when a mod makes a topic like this because his job is no longer worthwhile and he has no power to use... and abuse.

Yeah these 'Boring Times'. Its actually quite funny how many people agree that this place has become boring..yet not one have tried to fix the problem by making topics people will enjoy, or meaningful threads that dont complain about all the n00b's, and topics that wont end in spamming and flaming.
but instead people make their very own topic with their thoughts on the 'Boring Times' subject..which basically consists of the same exact statements said over and over. Then you have those who all they do is bring up the past, and rant on about how great everyone was back then, and how great the topics were and they talk about how much they loved and lusted for the past and blah blah blah. Well we cant live in the past forever, sure maybe to you the past was a great time for this place..but you cant bring it back. So now instead of whining that this place is no fun, try and change it then instead of waiting for someone else to do it. Because this place will not be the same as it once was if nobody tries.

by saying that restavega you,re attracting problems to yourself, if i were you i would already try and comprehend how stupid saying that was before trying to say anything else !
as for the boring topuics creation, marve|911, i try to make good topics, but i'm not ht one who don't wanna talk around here understand that please !
a good example, i recreated the gaming trivia show i had done a lot of time before, yet it seems people get into it thus some old topics are way more fun then newer ones !
it prooves it !

Alot of your topics are mainly those RPG topics..and if you havent noticed, some people arent really into that stuff, so that's why those topics dont really succeed. It's not because people dont want to post at all.
So your saying that this "Game Show Trivia" topic is only sucessful because you've done it in the past? Well Cap'n Grammar that hardly proves anything. I truly think that the Trivia topic is somewhat sucessful because its a fun game that challenges you to think and use your knowledge on gaming history...not because it was around in '02-'03.

so many reasons that should be taken to consideration...
nothing is permanent in this world except change...
-vets grow up and mature and find other hobbies they could spend time with
-most new members are minors, either they post nonsense topics or they ask the same old boring question about the game OVER AND OVER AGAIN
-strict rules diminished interests
-good/intelligent people left for good
-no post count in RI
-internet is a big world to explore, SFO shares only a little percent of excitement ppl seek
-ppl act as if theyre vet and smart that they flame new members asking for help thus intimidating them/discourage them to come back
-no really good topic to read
*sigh*
thats all i could think of for now...

marve| i never said it was sucessfull cause it was there back then... i meant it was AS sucessfull as it was back then, its not the same thing at all !
what i was saying that even if a topic is old, it can still be a valid topic and be as sucessfull as it used to be, if it used to be !
just like stupid topics of the times would still be stupid now a days !
