AGS forum has become a victim of its own success, barr CJ charging money for AGS i can see how he could put people off wanting to join. i guess people want a community spirit, so we tend to post "any old shit" to join in, and people are posting in the wrong places(guilty), stupid threads(guilty) and asked questions that are in the tutorials (guilty, hung, n quartered!)  but to me this thread was nasty, even tho 99% of people may have over reacted,i just wonder if i made a personal attack against DG (not that i would) would my thread of been locked and edited before anyone noticed?

Kikme is gone. Jimi has matured immensely since he joined. Yufster has a somewhat brash sense of humour.

And this'll pass. I don't see the worth of continuing it because it'll just be stirred up again. Just forget about it. Listen to Dave.

More pictures coming up.

I don't mind personal attack on me, but only if they are warrented.

For example, if someone told me my moderation abilities "suck", I would then ask why they posted that and ask them how I could improve I.e. I'd expect someone to verify their opinion of me.

However, if someone posted in all seriousness that I'm an ugly toll that deserves to be molested by my local archbishop, I'd tell them to get fucked and then lock the post I.e. Posting something malicious and defamitory.

That's the distinction.


Flippy:
It's a little more worrying when DarkStalkey gives up moderating -- thus, I don't think we can ignore this issue any longer.

[Jimi]

oohh....

*Jimi feels stupid

Sorry, I mis-read.

bill: ( ) I think it may have been my old site you looked at, because the only reason I put that picture on was to cover something that fellow school "mates" were poking fun at me with. But the game is in full progress. Possible demo out once walk animation is done.

*Jimi kisses Flippy_D

But you have to think: everyone is a newbie at some point. So its really just a big circle. QWhen the now-newbies mature, other newbies will come, then when they mature, other newbies will come. You can't stop it from happeneing.

[Trapezoid]

Helm's gone bitter... Of course this isn't the forum he fondly remembers. Things change. This is the forum that the newbies will fondly remember when they're oldies. I myself am a not-so-oldie, and I don't really have a problem with this forum.

Does any of you new people know who Unilin is? Esseb? Scid? Ghormak? Eric? Jarnokob? Goldmund? Butcher? 2ma2? Andail? In fact, besides my screen name, does any of you know anything about me?

And do you know what that is? Because they don't post much. And your posts are usually too enigmatic to derive much sense of personality from. The newbies will get to know those who are friendly. True oldies can accept change and enjoy it. For every oldie that leaves, a new one is created without anyone realizing.
If you honestly think the forum's gotten so bad, I honestly think that you're taking everything good about it for granted. You'd be hard pressed to find a community as fun, tight, smart, and eclectic as AGS.

[Jimi]

I must say, my faveroute oldbie is Rick Jafrate. He helped me loads when I was a newbie, and wasn't really put off by the fact I was asking silly questions. He helped me anyway. Now I'm somewhat beter than then, but I probably wouldn't be if it wasn't for Rick J.

Personally, if a newbie makes a poor first impression, they will automatically be in my 'bad books'. It will take something big, a good game release, or slowly showing their maturity/quality, to rectify this.

Invariably those whose first post is a 'Hi I'm x and I love adventure games' style post make a good impression. These people are almost always valuable community members.

[DGMacphee]

Jimi:
Bill told me to tell you that the combined time you took to write these posts, you could have finished the walk cycle for your game and had the demo out by now.

He also mumbled something about family values but I didn't quite catch it.

[Paranoia]

ok. i'll shut up but got to say.......

so much for your mod break DG!!!!

[DGMacphee]

Aye, you leave for a while to work on a game, a screenplay, and a documentary film and the whole place turns into a world of shit. (Apologies to Kubrick)

[Robert Eric]

You'll be working overtime now, since c_leksutin isn't around much, and Dark Stalkey gave up his title.

Edit: I'd like to point out that I contributed two demo games to this community plus a little uplifting story that Helm seemed to like.

[Scummbuddy]

Yeah, that sucks DG, I took a break for modding the beg forum for a week to go scuba diving, and I'm rewarded with a new beta.

That's the woman from the anti-porn stuff for your computer ads.  I think.

Im new.
Im also married with one kid, I have a job and I am respected where I live.
If I was looking at AGS for the first time on the internet and having a look at this thread I would feel NOT WELCOME.
I wouldn't want to be part of this comunity and maybe end the urge of making an adventure game..
Is that what you (old users of this forums) want?
I am sure that people will keep coming to the forums because what brings them here is AGS, the software, not you! If you dont want to share this forums with people starting out, talk to CJ and ask him to make separate forums, but dont desrespect people and try not to be rude because you will not add any respect on your person even if you have made the best ever ags game.
And most of you should have a look at RickJ replys to beguiners questions and perhaps learn something about comunicating with people,

" you only have it after giving it to someone else"
