I'd be satisfied with a place where I could set checkboxes for which thread types I want to appear for me and have all of them appear without me clicking anything (after setting it up initially, of course).
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I was speaking idiomatically. ![]() |
Although I must admit, Guru's doing a damn good job of making a case for keeping the forums split. I don't want people like him in any of the threads I participate in. I wouldn't have to read his shit if it got funneled away into a subforum. I do like RR's idea though. It'll probably please even the laziest of whiney assholes. Win-win. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
It would be interesting to have an ignore function. That way any threads that are specifically Sony or Microsoft system tags can be ignored leaving everything else that Guru desires. More than likely we'll have a filtering system like that in addition to the SA-type filter list.
FELIPE NO |
I was told there would be buttons along the top of the forum to filter. Right now there aren't, and I already have to scroll around to find what I want to see. What if there are no threads about topics I'm interested in? Extra clicking, scrolling, searching.
It was never any less convenient to use the drop-down menu to scroll through the forums. This is just a different way of doing things, that has no obvious benefits, and the ones you guys are inventing for me are completely bullshit. Better conversation? More exposure? Riiight. No matter how they come across something, people aren't going to read what they don't want to read. Do you see where I'm coming from? If people weren't seeing threads before, it's because they were either stupid or lazy. I'm not afraid to admit that I'm lazy. I don't like a clunkier interface than is necessary for me to see what I want to see. But my opinion is not the majority, so c'est la vie. I don't have a huge issue with the way the filters are set up so long as they're more accessible and less ugly. Do I prefer the other way? Yeah. Will I deal? Yeah. But quit telling me that it's for some greater good of the forum. It's just different. Plain and simple. It benefits people that have more video game systems than one because THEY are too lazy to change forums on the old system. But the conversation and exposure arguments are complete and utter garbage, and you all know it. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
<@a_lurker> I like zeal better than guru.
<@a_lurker> There, I said it, I'm not taking it back. |
I may not share Guru's frustration on the situation, however my thoughts on the new design are similar to that of Guru's. People arn'e as much complaining as they are stating an observation. I believe that Guru's frustration may simply be coming from the fact that people think that his opinion is incorrect, which simply is not possible.
I don't know if it was feedback or design ideas that people were expecting to come out of this thread, however everyone, Guru included are users and in the end are these not the people you're trying to make the community experiance better for? I'm not saying to tailor to any specific user, just take note of all the feedback, right or wrong, good or bad and try to use it to achieve an end goal instead of attacking every detail in someone's suggestion. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I'm not frustrated, just calling bullshit when I see it. Does using the word "bullshit" make me seem frustrated? Okay then. Bullpoopy. ~.^
I'm not against change either. But I don't really think things need to be changed when there's nothing wrong with the way they were. That's a general comment by the way, and not only in regard to the gaming forums. Most amazing jew boots
<@a_lurker> I like zeal better than guru.
<@a_lurker> There, I said it, I'm not taking it back. |
Why is the gaming forum the only place on this entire board where people bitch about seeing threads they're not interested in? You people know how to "use" the other forums as well, so why do we need to make the gaming forum special?
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I'm going to do this is size 4 bolded Tahoma font so hopefully my point that was made abundantly clear by the PARDON OUR DUST messages we have been giving you guys will be driven into your thick skulls.
So in the meantime PARDON OUR DUST. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Hey, did Acer say something?
I was speaking idiomatically.
and Brandy does her best to understand
|
No, it was your imagination, Mikey. Go back to sleep.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
FELIPE NO |
These may be just a few small examples, but I'm sure there's other ones that I haven't asked either. If you wanna call this bullshit, fine. I figure it's working. Maybe not on the scale I thought it would, but it's still working. You have yet to provide evidence that disproves my arguments and shows how it's "complete and utter garbage". Other than "I want the old way back so you're full of shit". I know this has little to do with anything, but I'm sick of your shit and you calling me wrong on this. This Cain-like behaviour is embarassing. Anywho, thanks for the update, Acer. Much <3 How ya doing, buddy? |
Calling it Cain-like (I'm not even sure how/what it is) doesn't make you an automatic winner Skills.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I can't work on everything at the same time guys
![]() I'll get the filtering system done by Sunday night. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Yeah, I hear ya, Blah. Your plate is filled up with real life stuffs in addition to the various filter system crap, new board layout, the frontpage, and any other miscellanious forum junk. Do what you can. I'm just trying to tell these guys to keep their pants on. EVERTHING MUST HAPPEN RIGHT NOW OR I'M NOT HAPPY. WAAAAH. Give Blah and the rest of the crew that is working on this a break is all I'm asking here. We'll listen to some of your suggestions like perhaps how you'd like a sports or comic subforum set up or any additional tags you feel are needed or any generic tags that you think would be good. Try adding to this idea instead of resisting it. I guarantee you'll be having a lot more fun, not to say it's easy or 100% enjoyable because it isn't but it is something to pass the time with and helps the community move forward even if just a bit.
How ya doing, buddy? |
There was nothing hard about finding threads under the old format. People who missed them just weren't paying much attention or they didn't care. If people don't pay attention or don't care, they're not going to post in threads regardless of how they come across them. If you're going to compare me to Cain, I think I'd like to point out that you're being just as bullheaded as I am in this regard. We have right to our own opinions, and we're not going to see eye-to-eye. At least you got what you wanted, so you are teh winn4r. Congratulations ![]() And thanks Blah, I look forward to the interface being done. I know you're still working on it, and I'm getting used to it. ![]() I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

<@a_lurker> There, I said it, I'm not taking it back. |
Doesn't this ever get you weary, Guru? Doesn't it start to eventually wear you out?
God. I'm getting old. I was speaking idiomatically. |
HEY GUYS I JUST WANNA POST TO SAY THIS NEW SYSTEM IS BULLSHIT
SWEAR TO GOD FUCK YOU ALL FOR DOING SHIT THAT HELPS OUT FUCK GAMINGFORCE who even plays games anyways what are you all twelve jesus christ What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? ![]() #654: Braixen

Tails, your posts would actually mean something if I agreed that this was actually helping anything. But there lies the point of contention. Maybe you need to realize that!
And OO, I don't get worn out. I obviously enjoy a little debate. I think people ought not to take me so seriously though -- it's funny how many people are all up in my grill. OMG THERE HE GOES AGAIN! FELIPE NO
<@a_lurker> I like zeal better than guru.
<@a_lurker> There, I said it, I'm not taking it back. |
lol man just lol You really are thick aren't you? Tell you what I'm gonna do. Starting tomorrow, all gaming threads will be strictly categorized by Genre, which will then each have individual sub-forums for specific platforms inside said forums. Then we're gonna take it to the next level and have developer subforums inside THOSE forums. Organization! What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? ![]() #654: Braixen |
I know you're joking (I hope), but GOD would that be a nightmare. Suddenly things don't look so bad, nm guys things look good as they are. Keep up the good work ^^;
lol Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Tails, what happened to you since I left? So hostile.
Someone give Tails a hug. I would except I fear for my life. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
