SSJKarma 05-05-2005 12:28 AM

I got enough guys... many of you won't just care and look at it i probably will just be flamed for saying such things but i had to tell them. if you're interested in knowing the bottom of my mind then go on and read otherwise just get the hell out of here !

First i want to speak about the peple saying SFO sucks or SFO is gay... you guys are th eones that makes me mad the most, i mean come on you guys are th efirst ones to say it sucks cause there is nothing good hapenneing, but what you guys always end up forgetting is that its up to you to make it better not up to us ! i have enough of hearing this bullpoop. its all crap and you know it just like i do. i'm mad at you guys for saying such things its so stupid to say such things.

second, i got enough of you people telling me this place is all about info and bugs, and that is mostly for you mods... am i truly the only one to have noticed how this has become more then just a forum for info and bugs ? in th efirst place, if tmyapp and the others created the different sections then clearly it was for the users to enjoy their time here so explain me why do we have to tell them not to be happy coming here ? tell me why we should let things go off and not do anything cause back then (like 3 years ago) it was like that ? its so lame of you to think that. this has changed, and so should you had to as well ! this is a community and not a info forum anymore, it means a lot more to me then just a info site. we should be carefull of our members and not just telling them to get the hell out of here if they aren't happy with this. we should be more carefull of their feelings.

third, many peple here are coming here just for the heck of flaming and dissing others... respect is all that many of us ask for and all we got are stupid remarks on ourselves, i got enough of being a nobody ! i have enough of being the target of everything people say i got enough of being sued for saying a simple fact. i have enough of being told that even thou i was here for the last 3 years that i don't know a poop about SFO ! i have enough of being this, it hurts to be left behind just cause people think you're nothing compared to them. all i ask is to be respected.

TMyApp, i might not have understood how you felt about this the right way... but there is one thing i know, you didn't do this just for the fun of it, you did it for the people and if that is true then truly you know that we should be doing way more then just saying hi to the new comers !

i can't say i will leave, this place has been like a new family for me and i doubt i will leave it anytime soon. but i don't want it to fall either and we're already far down. why aren't we getting back up ? why are people so much against SFO yet coming back here for more, can't we just all get along and enjoy the ride on the forum ?

People it's up to us to put this place back up.
Post intelligently and stop bithcing at others or at the forum.
i hate people bitching at this family of mine !

SBYRD5 05-05-2005 01:04 AM

:plain: ....you know...

even if no one else says this I understand were you've been in this forum SSJKarma...and were your at now....

You were always a forum junkie(Not a bad thing so was I).

So I've seen your fustrated post to your thrilled posts.


*sigh* I love this forum as a family also man.

I've been here for almost 3 years now....I don't hate anyone....even those who I've held arguements with....I can say in a view I respect them....


Those words you said rung clear in my soul man..because I understood were you were comming from..probally in a fashion...you wont have to correct me...


I also understand that you speak english as a 2nd lang. So sometimes your words aren't clear.....and I guess new users wouldn't respect you....when you don't use large words all the time....but your an old timer I still got respect for you man....probally for an on going time....


*sigh* I'm not leaving this forum tell you leave SSJKarma....

and if I don't leave then...then I'll leave the day Elena leave's...then if I don't go.....

yeah and so on...


yeah always looked at you as a semi-mentor karma.

I suppose as the years flewby we should've known days like these would rain......


To think man....how fun it was....I can't even begin to explain the huge.. change....


I think...mostily because as you said no one respects anyone...as much anymore....

Yes, I understand how you feel, SSJKarma. This forum is so different the way I knew it before. All people care right now is having a big reputation, or even, some people just become a VIP for the heck of it (no offense to other good VIPs). Kids coming in the forums and talking nonsense, spamming, and yet, being flamed by other people. No one, or most of the people, doesn't care about what's gonna happen next.

I did leave SFO forums for awhile.. but still, I'm not satisfied with the way it is, so I just come and go.. If we could bring back how this forum was 3 years ago, then I would be happy, because I also think this is a 2nd family to me, and I love it.

@SBYRD5: I feel the same way too, respect but not being respected in return. But hey, people can get along if they share the same feelings. Lol

marvel911 05-05-2005 06:41 PM

Yeah, yeah yeah.. :dozingoff:

Everyone has their opinions on this place, and the good majority of them are different. Accept the fact that this place has gone downhill in the past few years, and accept that the fact that there probably isnt a lot you can do to re-energize the forum activity here.



By the way, these threads make baby jesus cry, so desist.

Dark_Paladin_X 05-06-2005 04:39 AM

Karma is right. The people who say SFO sucks, gay, and all that stuff. If you got such a problem with the game, then leave it alone and stop disturbing everyone.

(From what karma said)This place was only suppose to be about SFO bugs/problem reporting. They added more for US, the players. So, instead of showing the "authorities" that we don't deserve it, or show that it was a waste of time for adding it. We should try and make the forum more live, so that it's more enjoyable and entertaining.

Quote:

hmm. To those people i say, "What's your problem?" If there's someone you don't like on the forum, ignore them. Or if they're trying to fight you on the forum, tell an admin or something. Don't just continue fighting them. it can only get yourself in trouble with them. Then you BOTH lose. If people are doing this more often, then we should just be more "aggresive" to those people. It's that easy.

Quote:

we should be doing way more then just saying hi to the new comers !
There are plenty of people, fan sites that are willing to help out new comers. We just have to show them the way. It's up to them if they want to follow. We should also be trying to accomidate the people who were here longer.

Some, if not, alot of us are to blame for the condition we're in right now. We should try our best to fix it.

dominicankid098 05-06-2005 09:52 AM

The only thing that needs fixing is deleting the "Non sforelated" section. Seriously, there were less arguements when this section was not around. Now people have been banned because of this section with arguements, racism, and spamming to get their post count high. Most racism and arguements come from "general topics".

On the other hand, arguements in the sfo section will always be "who is better", "No, that strategy sucks and is cheap", "He cheated in the Ryu tourney", which I think it can be perfectly handled without someone getting offended emotionaly because of stereotypes and racism general discussions sometimes brings.

SSJKarma, I know you were here in 2001 to see how the community was way stronger then than how it is now. Don't give me that b/s that this community has grown in its best because the purpose of this forum was always to discuss SFO strategies, bugs, tournaments, and its updates. And I remember a time when everyone had fun when the forum was only built that way and since all the sections were only sfo related, everyone was involved with the game.

If these sections were never created, you people would be talking about only SFO. Meaning some of your would be more active in the game and making these "little" tournaments not seem so freaking LITTLE.

You people should start reading 2001 topics for you all can realize how things were back in the day, we never bitched and complain about adding new sections in this forum, WE WERE ALWAYS GREATFUL/THANKFUL for what we had. Now you guys have these sections and keep creating topics like "We need to fix these problems we are having with the community". Guess what? This section destroyed the SFO community. Now stop bitching and be glad that Nferno666/leftyfb hasn't deleted these sections yet.

And for those who still don't know how things are ran, then maybe you should read the [ state of things ] topic.



The End, for now...

-SSJKarma
There ya go, Alamgir.

Anyway, this forum is fine and dandy. But people continue to dwell around waiting for something to happen.. and when nothing happens does that necessarily mean the forum sucks, boring, or has gone down hill? What exactly does everyone want to happen? This is a forum... it's all about one post after the other. It doesn't get more glamorous than that.

I'm basically just sick of seeing "Who was the greatest member?", "The good 'ol days", and "Fondest memories of SFO" topics. Why are so many vets dwelling on the past and past achievements instead of making something special happen now? These days, everyone wants their respect and to be praised so these topics concerning the past make their way into the forum more and more often to rekindle what was lost... whether it be a special event or a member's deserved respect.

This forum, to me, is about relaxing after some fierce battles in SFO and competing in the occasional tournament. It's not about trying to become a forum celebrity, making exotic topics to become popular, or creating these "memory lane" threads in hopes of your name popping up once or twice. It seems these days everyone just wants to see how they measure up with the rest of the community.

The only conflict this forum may encounter to disturb it's peace is a fun but locked topic, wrongfully banned member, or forum shut down. Those are the things we have to avoid... and also topics like these. We don't need newcomers getting a first impression of this great community from this kind've topic.

Virtual Fighter 05-06-2005 01:16 PM

How about we just try to be better PERIOD?

Most of the sheep (AKA those who refuse to think for themselves on issues like the state of the forum and game alike) say they refuse to change because they are accepting mediocrity and discontent.

Why not make things better? What bad can possibly come from it?

There's no reason not to.

People do make intelligent posts here and there nowadays but they're the ones that cause the flaming because they're on subjects like this.

And people dwell on the "good old days" because thats what they were, "good". To be honest I don't know what's happened to this place, but I think it might have to do with the lack of members who started intelectual conversations.

Well I guess your right though, we should improve this place and look to the future. All we need is somewhere to start.

SSJKarma 05-07-2005 02:23 AM

so you guys suggest that we get back ot the old days of the forum where you there was only 3 sections ?

let me get this straight, th esections were...

GENERAL COMMENT AND STRATEGIE
NEW FEATURES
BUGS

That's what you guys ask because that's the only thing we ever had back then.

we got a lot of sections because YOU, as in THE MEMBERS wanted those sections to be, now i say make up your mind, you wanted them and now that you have them you say its because of them that we have these ####s problems ! again, i say make up your mind !

Snake, the forum is far from being too strict, i wonder when you guys will notice how much freedom we have given compared to what we had back int he days of 2KWARRIOR and ZING79 and even QUASS and LORDCYRIS. come on, we're far from being STRICT if we were a lot more users would be banned for a lot of you have banners that far exceed the limit given back then.

a lot would be banned for flaming all the time and even more would be banned just for saying this game sucks badly and that it shouldn't even exist. yet they are still there telling their opinion , having their HUGGGGGGE banners. so i am sick of people dwelling int he past as you say, come on, you say you the past should be forgotten but all you do is base yourself on past experiment to make your opinion of this place !

i know a lot of rules are just simply stupid... but you should have noticed how they aren't even used as excuses for the mods.

last thig i will say you guys wanted to know why i always bragged about this, now you know... it was how i felt and if you aren't feeling the same then no problems about it, its your things... but the last thing i needed was to be flamed for saying MY OPINION ! you might not like me, and probably that i feel the same about you... but you don't see me flaming and dissgin in about all topics you make !

its pretty simple for me... i like this place a lot, so much that at least i want to make things to at least give the other users a good day when they surf this forum. if you don't like it then go away do some sports chat with oters download porn if ya want to but do what you like !

but there is one thing i wonder if you dislike this place so much then why are you just there posting and stuff...
it doesn't make any sense !

It's so very true. You have such a problem, then go away. We don't need them (since we do get quite a few new players each day). So we can easily replace the haters. :biggrin:

Don't forget the Challenges and Tournaments section. And yeah, those sections would be better since alot of admins don't want to put up with general topics like this one. Dwelling in the past just because the game was way much popular then? TMyApp might, MIGHT, get a lot more hits a week nowbut about 80% now of the users go there to chat/cyber/date and flood. If we had the 4 sections we had before, everyone would be talking about SFO and making all these good setup tournaments not seem so little. Maybe some wouldn't have retired. Maybe the game, not chat, would be much more popular, ranking TMY on top of all shockwave games.

Get this through your thick head. This forum was never created for general discussions about the economy, religion, meet friends and have cyber girlfriends. It was made for SFO STATUS, UPDATES, strategies, tournaments. If you are looking for a community for general discussion, then there are a bunch of communities of that poop in ezboard.com or myspace.com that might fit you. I don't think any admin wants to put up with topics like these. Nferno666 already said it, and blanka09 had said it as well, you keep pushing it and they will just delete these sections. And you will be the NUMBER ONE reason why they will delete these sections. You are the one who started the BG vs SFO topic am I right? So yeah, everyone remember Karma's name, he might be the reason why these sections are deleted. You think people hate you now? Keep bitching and you will see how the "Hate Karma" list skyrocket.

It is dumbass topics like this one that are so convincing to delete these sections. I know that if this topic were to get closed by another admin/mod, you would just go right ahead and start a new one -_-..

Obviously, some users of BG are still posting here so what are you getting all hyped up about? They said "PX forum sucks" yet they post here. It is none of our business what they do or what their opinions are about this forum so if they want to continue posting and bitching about how much this forum sucks, leave them be. I bet if their bitching crosses a line, they will be handled. But they never get accross that line.

You have pretty much annoyed a bunch of people with these type of topics "We need to fix this community", like if you were doing community service hours because of misconduct -_-. I can start a survey and about 95% of the people in this forum would vote "YES, you are annoying". Even some of your fellow mods/admins have been annoyed. They are just staying quiet, for some damn reason, to avoid problems/arguements with you. But keep at it, we might see some SFO history.

Enjoy what is given to you! Be greatful, not every teenager has a computer to join communities like this one and yet your bitching about making this community better. The only problem I see in this online community is ungreatful people like yourself making topics like this one.

Necro2k2 05-08-2005 05:03 PM

Meh, let me give my 2 cents in this ice machine....


Well from my perspective you people do need to change this forum. As many of you have heard this forum was about helping deal with the game's problems in servers, battle etc. This forum/community has grown to be more popular threwout the ages because of the game's drastic changes. Not to mention this is a FREE game, normally we would have to pay 50 dollars at walmart to play a game like this. You people shouldn't worry about the forum as much, but more on the game.

The game plays more then 99.9 percent of the forum's success. Hell without the game, this forum would be nothing, it would serve no purpose. If you people want things such as "Random Insanity" then go to other forums. Even though it may seem like they're taking away the fun of this forum, maybe we should just leave it boring and sappy as it was before the invasion. Anywayz, I think we should give our focus on the game more then this forum. We barely get an update as it is, our last one was on December we're now going to June.

If you people (admins blah blah) want less fights then just stop playing the "good" guy and just take out the damn sections. Stop making yourselfs old, and freaking delete the sections already. If you don't like what you see DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, stop whinning like little kids saying "guys please stop flaming". I say enough with the warnings and delete the damn sections already. You have seen the scum of the community, and trust me more is to come, so you decide.

To several of the people that replied to this topic, the community DOES need to be fixed. I haven't been here much for so long BECAUSE of the problems, problems which were not prevalent three or four years ago.

You feel my pain now. These are all problems that I dealt with until I quit being an admin of Senshukentaikai. No offense to anybody in particular here, but when the average age of forum-goers is pre/early teen, you'll be forced to deal with a lot of immaturity and, unfortunately, a lot of idiots and uncompromising rejects. That's one of the reasons I don't come here often anymore. <span style='font-size:7pt;line-height:100%'>The other is nobody will hold a decent conversation with me, and I'm typically ignored despite my colorful history here.</span>

Ruling over the forums and moderating takes a subtle touch. Do too much, and people will hate you and disrespect you, saying that you're tyrannical. And yes, I know this isn't a democracy here, but that's how you'll be viewed. Do too little, and you'll be viewed as ineffective or uncaring, and will not be respected.

As for SFO sucking... it's the best free online fighting game on the net. I can't say much for the current state of the game, as I haven't been able to play it for over two years as my computer that I can do such things on is rather old, but nothing will change the fact that it is the best free online fighter around. People hate on it? Don't let them play it. Their loss.

It's an inevitability that when a competitive scene forms around a fighting game, whether it be online, offline, free, based on fees, or whatever, there will be people who endlessly talk poop (pardon the French). There's been such people since the beginning of XMvSF online, and there always will be such people on into the future of SFO. You being a mod, you're just a bigger target for such people.

Games that develop enough of a community to require general discussion and such for an exchange of ideas, thoughts, and opinions ought to have such a section, as this one does. Those who somehow think that such people should have no outlet for discussion are the ones who need to re-examine the purpose of forums.

The sections in which flaming and arguments occur shouldn't be removed. That's just taking the easy and dumb way out, and making the flamers win. Stronger enforcing of the rules, such as using temp/permanent account/IP bans is one effective way to do it. Instead of seeing arguments, you'll see threads of people apologizing, trying to get themselves/their friend back on here, and they'll either learn a lesson, or get banned again. It'll always be a fight against flamers, but that doesn't mean you should just quit.

I'm all for this forum becoming a place for intelligent conversation, peaceful discussion, and so on, but there's a lot that must be done for the forums to become that way. Ban the jerks, enforce the rules (or make more) and stick in there. Might seem a little odd coming from me, after all the disagreements that we've had, but just because we've disagreed doesn't mean I hate you.

Rant over.

Who cares? If they disobey the rules, they deserve punishment.

DAN HIBIKI, you're above shuko (nantuko joe) on my list, i mean you never really said anything bad about me, as in i didn't knew anything. surely you disagreed with me and that i like. it prooves you got an opinion on the matter which is something everyone should have.

but some people are simply thinking they know so much and they actually flame you because they think you think you know much more thne them so they have to argu and change the thing into a flaming contest. i might be like a mule and never change my views even if youg ot good arguments but it doesn't mean i dislike your views or even disregarded it. fact is i'm always open to suggestions, idea's and opinions. i mean the other way wouldn't tell me anything in life and that wouldn't be too good for a person.

anyway back to the forum itself... we're speaking the mods and admins actually, about the probability that we need be more strict because we weren't toomuch for now, but there are a few things that came out right now, we got too much job on our hands and eluding a new NWO wouldn't probably cut it since we have problem choosing between members. so we might speak of getting this forum back to its old state where only SFO related threads could exists !

i know it might seems cruel and non-sens... but the fact is we know how much flame, stupid threads in wrong sections and dissing about how we shouldn't have done that would actually come our ways. but we're pretty sure that if they are all in the same sections, we can deal with them knowing how much mods we are !

anyway... the past might never be our future, but it sbetter to use it as it hapenned and by it we shall reforge our forum the way it was meant to be. we just need to decide what's best for the community and i know much of you guys wants it with more control. the others who say we are too strict probably don't know what hapenned these last months and probably never noticed how much people have freedom of flaming and dissing others without getting any warnings or bans !

i think it would be better to have strickly SFO related topics then having a lot of non-SFO topics all in 3 different places, places which are never truly moderated cause of the endless stupidities that goes on in there !

let's be realistic, topics like "WHO ARE YOUR BEST MATCHES" compared to "THIS VERSUS THIS" threads are like way better to read.
that's where we stand and that's something we should have done a long time ago.
i know subjects and topics are hard to find. but if it stays SFO related it might become good.

as i said though, we are still int he discussion phase, but i think telling you we wish to change things around here is better then wait till its already too late, this way it makes our changes a bit more easier since we know what our members will think about the so called changes !

Flaming? Are you kidding me?

Karma, i'm giving you an assignment. Give me one thread that was a debate thread that turned into a "big flaming contest" as you put it.

Because i've been in many, many, many debates, and not one has turned into a big "flaming" contest.

peca, that was useless to write. that is exactly what we try to stop peca !

virtual, all so called debate turned to flames !
i can say all of my thread meant to debate on different views including mines were all throwed back at me with flamings !
the DB vs SF thread back then almost turned to flame if not for a few mods back then it would have turned into it !
RELIGIONS threads were almost all turned to flames because people wouldn't let their views be turned down !

as i said virtual, in 2 years, ALL debates turned to flames and that all the true members of this community can testify and acknowledge what i'm saying !
BTW, i wasn't naming or pointing anyone in the above post, but i would only say that if the hat suits you then, take it !

2) evolution debate
3) DBZvsSF debate
4) nearly every USA or bush debate

I know that this may seem odd, but I'm available for moderating during all times of the day. I have no job currently, and won't likely have a job for a while, and I have the experience in moderating during the Senshukentaikai times. I'm willing to help if you and TMyApp will let me.

1) Peca was joking.

2) Debates involving you turn to flame mostly because so many people dislike you.

3) You saying ALL debate topics turn to flame is the equivalent of saying all Canadians are dumb. It isn't true. Therefore, using stereotypical comments to fabricate BS don't prove you right.

Since I don't come here too often, I can't vouch for debates here, but debates at BG don't typically become flame wars. VF made a debate about Eugenics. I don't recall that becoming a flame war. There was a debate about Eminem, and that didn't turn into flame. There was a debate about PSP/DS, and though flame entered it at times, it was never a flame war.

So, obviously, debate does not = flame war. Therefore, your comment about all debates becoming flame wars is not only false, but completely unthinkable.
