And even i am moderately surprised
As if GAF wasn't getting bad enough, the thought of having threads locked when a poster who is also a mod gets into a discussion, then you can flush the board down the toilet.

Amirox (IMO) is a good poster - he's in every thread - but if every thread where a slip up or a disagreement comes up gets locked then ... whats the point?

Most threads have gone to sh1t anyways, but... hell...

Having a very vocal poster (one i have no problems with) as a Mod sounds like an absolute recipe for disaster.

The only reason that thread was locked because it was two pages of absolutely nothing relating to the topic at hand anymore, not because I disagreed. After you derail it to a certain point, you gotta just give up on it, ya know? However, since I helped derail it (and wrongly so), I don't mind. The topic was getting silly, is all.

Nothing to do with being vocal really, though.
 
4 posts and we'll be talking about 30/60fps

Well you can demod me if you like, I didn't ask. The only reason that thread was locked because it was two pages of absolutely nothing relating to the topic at hand anymore, not because I disagreed.

how many threads on gaf remain on topic? It's not many.

I didn't think that thread had gone too far.
We started on about NPD sales, when it was locked, despite the specifics we were talking about Sales prediction.

That's actually a step forward from talking about an X360 game , then ending up discussing MGS4 or the Revolution controller...

Regarding demo'd - it's nothing to do with me - my days on GAF are limited anyways so what i say means nothing.
What i would say is you make a lot of possitive contribution to the board - but is it possible to be as active as a poster and be a mod at the same time?

anyways, just my 2c. As mentioned i have no problems with you as a poster.
 
Hey, what do you know? Matlock and demi were responses #1 and #2 in this thread. And it's 1:46 AM in their time zone. Draw your own conclusions.

From context, I don't think the mod in question was the one arguing.

Also, I bet the forum staff is overjoyed with this thread.
 
PSP will be dead by the end of the year. this is fact

p.s. shadow of the colossus sucks, but not as much as earthbound
 
vote for me! i'll never lock a thread! the inanity of the gaming forum is a black box and nothing more to the fartster!

Watching lesbian porn in the middle of the night undermines any sort of credibility I have in this thread?

I think at the point it's like, at least that's about games. We were to the section where we were literally interpreting users comments through semantics for endless posts. I contributed to it wrongly, I admit, but at some point you gotta cut your losses.

I am still new to this, though. I haven't exactly got into the flow of when things are appropriate all the time, I just felt that it was a good time to lock such a wildly off course thread. It's important to note that it wasn't because I disagreed though. I could have argued forever, but because I AM so vocal sometimes I can be part of the problem.
 
thanks for the response and explaination Amir0x.

From the outside, you've got to appreciate how it looks.
I'm sure you'll find the middle ground :)

cheers,
dc.

All this sentimentalism is giving me a boner.

No thanks to your help on some occasions. Intentionally. So exactly what is it you want to be done here?
 
I don't know what's going on but I'm kinda jealous that he was able to use three (COUNT THEM THREE) acronyms in a freaking thread title.

I think I'm going to go out and do some Tyrell Laps.
 
Poster #1: DMC3 is the King of Action
Poster #2: God of War sucks
Poster #3: Ninja Gaiden > DMC3
Poster #4: (quotes above) no, DMC3 > Ninja Gaiden

Alright, that facet of threads is now complete.

What next?

Ah, Xbox 3-shitty, Dead or Alive 4 looks the same as every damn game before it, uh PS3 will cost 999.99, my avatar is a porn-star, resident evil 4 ps2 is the superior version, ummmm, OWLS, IIRC, IMO, AFAIK, you suck, you're an idiot, GAME X sold this and this LTD, yet did poorly worldwide, China likes to pirate stuff, PSP is worthless, DS is god...

[add to the list people]

Conan36X: either the forum is at the paws of the newest gimmick, or amir0x is a legit mod now. whichever, really.

FireEmblemPrideX: Explain? O_O

Conan36X: I dunno

Conan36X: Amirox was bitching about how his official thread wasn't being stickied

Conan36X: And EviLore gave him modhood I guess

Conan36X: I thought it was a gimmick

Conan36X: Then Amir0x is in showgroups.php as a mod

FireEmblemPrideX: Yep, seems so

FireEmblemPrideX: Glad to see him on

Conan36X: I'm siding with gimmick, because this has all the hallmarks of New Lyte Edge

FireEmblemPrideX: Amir0x has a weird avatar

Conan36X: it's the passion of the ps2

FireEmblemPrideX: WHo's the guy on it?

FireEmblemPrideX: Jim what's-his-face?

Conan36X: no

Conan36X: just a random model

FireEmblemPrideX: Ah

FireEmblemPrideX: Makes him look homosexual to be honest

FireEmblemPrideX: Like his avatar is screaming "Come to me!"

FireEmblemPrideX: Then again, so does miyuru's

Conan36X: LOL

Conan36X: maybe it is you who are gay!

FireEmblemPrideX: :[[[[[

FireEmblemPrideX: Seriously though, doesn't it?

Conan36X: "it moved, jerry!"

FireEmblemPrideX: I'd love to be a mod myself

Conan36X: then ask i guess

FireEmblemPrideX: Nah

FireEmblemPrideX: Should there ever be signups I'd apply or something

FireEmblemPrideX: Someone should compile a top 30 most important GAF members list

Conan36X: 1. me
30. orin

FireEmblemPrideX: Make a topic!
 
Also, I know drohne says I'm middling, but all kidding aside if you do have a problem with something I said feel free to PM. I try not to take things too seriously, and at the same time I try to follow the rules somewhat, but I'm a regular poster too. So drop me a line if you guys dislike my haterading.
 
Haha, could you imagine Fraudtrain as a mod?
