PSA: Me

No, when you idiots are left alone, your debate never ends until the thread is 100 pages long, locked, and half of the posters are permanently banned.

The only reason this drama happened is because your stupid opinions weren't deleted sooner.

(And what I mean by "stupid opinions" is not to infer that I disagree with your opinions...it's the whole "my opinion is right and therefore you are wrong" stupid shit.)

Did you even read the minecraft thread before you truncated it?
Actually, read my reply to the situation, it's worth it.

I skimmed the Minecraft thread, but I'm not going to take sides. Regardless, my point still stands that it's impossible for either side to settle their differences and walk away from an issue without continuously adding more gas to the fire.

I'll read your post...I thought it was just continuing the Minecraft fiasco so I ignored it.

[TVTyrant]

I feel out of the loop. What was the minecraft fiasco? I thought it was the AoS fiasco...

I was pointing to the hypocrisy, for a long time Freelancer flogged his piracy activities and then berates other people who he suspected of pirating, this wasn't the case.

He also said that when he gives his opinions on subjects everyone should take it as fact and then just keep quiet, not contending the obvious that his opinion is that and others will have differences in that regard.

He also mentioned about his duty and yet flogged it at times convenient to himself.

I'm going to be honest with you.
I've not had it in for you over some shitty bandwagon or meme, I don't particularly like those kinds of things.
I've had it in for you because of your ignorant hypocritical condescending attitude.

keys: red is to denote important notes
Blue is to denote said condescending notes

Notice that first part, many times you flogged that duty and a few times even began picking fights with the users.
That is dereliction of duty if I ever saw it.

Notice the second part? in that case you were assuming all people who use software from languages other than their native that they must be pirating or buying from illegal key sites.
I pointed out this was not the case and even mentioned that lingual language of software does not decide whether it is fit for purpose on a system, something I've since proven many times over.
For someone who is supposedly a computer enthusiast, you don't seem to know an awful lot about the systems you build.

Let's move onto the case with Minecraft.
You stated that Minecraft by itself is a genre,
A; that is simply bad logic, a genre is by definition, type, class, category.
B; Minecraft is a game based upon Infiniminer, A previous game which predates Minecraft by some portion of time which was developed by zachtronics Industries, Not Notch.

You also stated that apparently if a game looks like another existing game, smells like another existing games and plays like an existing game it must be a clone;

A; there are many, MANY games which use similar gameplay and themes, examples are Guitarhero and rockband for music, Call of duty and Battlefield are also on the same boat until you get to multiplayer but even then it only comes down to a select difference in weapons and whether the vehicles in use are continuously controlled by players or by the games system.

Let's talk about the hypocrisy I mentioned earlier shall we?

Let me make this very clear, I strongly believe as both a former moderator and former forum architect, founder and owner that unless you're willing to lead by example of yourself following the rules then you are not fit to lead others.
You have proven over a series of times you are willing to dish out punishments for infractions of the ToS but somehow believe you are above the rules you observe.
You have lashed out at users, insulted them, a couple of times threatened them and when your actions were mentioned to you, those members got an infraction for backseat driving meanwhile you would delete your posts to cover your tracks to go and get Scott free for another day.

I'm going to wind this down now seeing as I'm on borrowed time for my comment to be made.
I've made the points I wanted to, given examples to back them up and I hope if you ever consider moderating another website you'll learn what you did wrong here and improve your methods of staffing because quite franky, if you don't you'll have similar things happen else where.

This is why I don't bother, there's so much assumed information and plain out incorrect information about what I said in that thread in this quote.

You guys would rather invent things that "I said" that fit my "stereotype" instead of taking 10 seconds to understand the meaning behind what I say. I usually don't go into every fine little fucking detail when I'm talking about something when it seems that the underlying meaning is EXTREMELY FUCKING OBVIOUS.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, if that's somehow my fault then I apologize that you guys can't seem to understand what I'm saying. No one else I know IRL or on other forums does, but who knows maybe I post differently here somehow. So I'm not going to bother explaining anything anymore when do do bother to post, if you don't get my meaning the first time and you want to take it as some kind of fail-statement/ignore the irony and/or sarcasm that's obviously in the post then fine.

I'm only going to be cleaning up the previously stated shit from now on (piracy/porn/etc). And only when I happen to see it, not gonna go out of my way to find it.

I feel your pain there, bro. I type something, people read two words in the opening sentence, and then start a raging reply. Fucking. What.

I got tired just reading the first two and a half pages.

When was the last time we actually had a growing user base, enough to warrent a hard stance on posting behaviour, because the site had potential to grow and expand?

We dont need to intervene with threads that people are arguing in, we dont need to tone everything down because there is no goal, no end point for us to go in.

we're slowly dieing a littler bit everyday, acknowledge it for what it is, so just loosen up and have fun and let the site run it's course.

[king_nothing_]

I still have no idea what this thread is about. Was every post/thread in question deleted?

[Bodzilla]

most of them, yes.
