So this is what I said in the topic 'So what is this really all about':


"I remember coming to these forums eight years ago. I wanted to create worlds easily on my piece of crap computer and found RPGMaker2000. It was great.
So GW had the resources, so I looked around the forums, got to know people.
Then I got bored. it seemed to me, the object was to post something to raise your count and thus your status while, optimistically, saying something terribly witty.
I don't see that much has changed.
I tried to log in using my former account, but I guess its been lost in the constant remaking of gaming world and its forums.
This may be the final post I make, depending on what response this gets, but how about this:
Where do games end and life begins?"


And then this is what Sarevok said before, I assume, throwing this thread into the pile of feces section:


"hey gw you don't know who I am and I have never posted or registered but this is my final post ever.
smell you later gw. smell you later forever."



I think in doing so he proved my point better than I could have: that even people who WORK at this site don’t even pay attention anymore to what people are saying, much less have anything constructive to say themselves. It’s all about one-upmanship.



Sarevok, some of you may know who I am, but that’s not the point. I registered around eight years ago and came regularly for several years but GW did not let me log in  using my old user name since I stopped coming here several years ago. And I said it might be the final post I made depending on how maturely and constructively the GW community reacted to my post. So Sarevok, needless to say, you’ve got some growing up to do.

The intent of this post was to evoke discussion on any of a number of topics:

How GamingW has changed or stayed the same, how GamingW seems to reward obnoxious people and reject constructive people and how our definition of games may include aspects of life itself, an appropriate topic considering this is Gaming World.


So please, discuss, before some moderator or something decides his little witty retort and small semblance of power is more important than an essential discussion about the very forum he means to "improve"

Hey guys what did I miss, I wasn't paying attention?




Anyway anything constructive (since this was your intent) really belongs in the feedback forum, that's where we listen to what our members have to say and try to take action accordingly...

EDIT: Basically what I'm saying is that if you want to be taken seriously then post there because the General forum will eat you alive when the What doesn't belong mob sees your topic.

But here's where the problem lies. You didn't know GW then... and you don't know GW now. Your feelings are misguided and wrong... thus, end of discussion.

8 years ago, my aunt had a portable cd player and she wouldn't let me borrow it...
Nowadays she still doesn't let me borrow it, but I don't want to now anyway... because I have an ipod...


I'm not a spammer or a troll in this topic, but does what I just said make sense to you?
Are you here because your ipod is missing?

i'm liiiiimited, just look at me
i'm liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimited
and just look at you, you can do all i couldn't do
iPod
so now it's up to you...
for both of us
now it's up to youuuu....


there are definitely two groups that are mostly distinct, but there's also overlap. and plenty of constructive people are appreciated as long as they are not really uptight/don't have a huge sense of entitlement, while plenty of dicks are acknowledged to be so. i don't see how this topic can improve the forum at all.

my definition of games is almost entirely composed of real life though, everyone is a puppet and i am the puppeteer. i geuss a lot of people would probably disagree with that but hey maybe it's me making you disagree, ever think of that?

Yeah, as the last 6 letters of mayonnaise backwards said; dicks are dicks for a reason, we ignore them when we need to and encourage them when they do something funny or stupid, at the same time you can be one or the other from time to time like I am now...

This is the game we play, and the way of life here at Gaming World.

ooooookay.....

I'll give you one chance to prove to me just how you are a productive member of this community just because you made TWO INCREDIBLY CONTRIBUTIVE RANTS about pretty much why you dislike Gaming World. Try to convince me that you are not:
a) A self absorbed idiot that doesn't know anything that goes on outside his pretend world
b) Some kid with an ego problem that demands credit for... wait what do you even want?
c) A troll
Go go go.





ACTUALLY, never mind, you might as well spend your precious time doing what you are best at doing instead of wasting it on us mean jerks.
