Why can't we just separate the Nintendo stuff?

Why can't the admins just make a separate board for all Nintendo discussion, while this gaming discussion board are all about gaming stuff other than Nintendo's?

I think this will be better for this whole forum. The quality of gaming discussion will be improved with a lot less trolling and arguing and complaining, etc.

Agree?
 
man i thought i was smoking good shit... i was wrong! How much?

Seriously dude, this would actually make things worse i think :lol
 
one could dream....imagine... Nintendo-fanboys playing only at their own sandbox.... *droolz*

Nah....I like variety, lets keep them here. =)
 
Really then, how boring would the forum be? Some of GAF's greatest threads involve Nintendo to some degree :lol

or just continue to eliminate them one by one
 
Why can't they just build some kind of giant wall between Israel and Palestine to ease the tensions in the Middle East? Surely this separating wall will be better for both countries, and will immediately cause a lot less fighting, killing, suicide bombing and...

OH WAIT

GET IT IT'S TOTALLY A PARALLEL

Honestly, if I may say so, yours is a terrible idea. I can't imagine having any discussion about games in general and somehow not having someone talk about Nintendo at some point. Surely even in the most non-Nintendo of threads, the phrases "reminds me of Zelda" or "I had more fun with ROB the Robot" aren't unreasonable to expect.

What a moderation nightmare -- and GA torture test.

Put simply, it'd be like forcing Parkinsons Disease patients to play Milton Bradley's Operation -- no matter how hard they might try, you just know that fucking buzzer is going to go off within seconds.

Why would it make things worse?

It's obvious that Nintendo fans and non Nintendo fans can't co-exist. So why not separate them?

I see tons of Nintendo fans complaining how they get unfair treatment. At the same time non Nintendo fans complaining how they can't stand Nintendo fans, that's why they troll in order to spite them. This greatly decrease the quality of gaming discussion.

Separate them is the way to go.
 
Here's a better idea. Fire the offending mods and hire fairer ones.

It won't stop flamewars, but at least everyone gets banned. Not just some.

Not true. They co-existed just fine in the old GAF.

That would be an apt fate for a company increasingly in the margins of the industry.

Sorry, had to go there. :lol
 
Hold on... there's a lot of Nintendo fans on here who are sane people (or so I like to think).
The point of the other thread is to rat out the batshit insane Nintendo fanboys and get them the fuck off this forum, because we don't need them here.

At least that's what I thought.

Would you invite a plague-infected guy into your house and put him up in a separate room? You might have to share the same toilet some day...

I'm sorry, but if i'm readings my number correctly, videogame as an industry, as in portables, console and pc etc. it would be Sony and Nintendo splitting somewhat 50/50.

Sony dominates the console arena so thoroughly, it's pointless to name Nintendo or Microsoft, which in Japan, is a non factor.

You can debate about all the buzz for Xenon or Revolution or PS3, but it always happens with new console releases. Lots of anticipation and possibilites, like a new baby being born. But like most kids, the parents come to realize sooner or later they won't be president, or a CEO, or a manager, or make 60k a year and be stuck selling pizza at a corner store for $4.50. I'm sure you're psyched about the next gen, but i'm not holding my breath about a great Nintendo or Microsoft victory.
 
Honestly I think the problem (if you consider it a problem at all) is simply because certain mods are the ones who are baiting/causing the most flamewars.

I mean yeah, its a joke and its funny, but if it bothers you, that's really the problem right there. It has nothing to do with having one forum for all the platforms.

Why not just go to another, more Nintendo-centric forum? What a brilliant idea!

from what i can gather, the point being made here was that some people felt only the batshit insane Nintendo fanboys were being eliminated, and not the batshit insane Microsoft fanboys or the batshit insane Sony fanboys... or something...

Of course my suggestion wasn't to be that extreme. Just separate the main discussion you know.

Not true. A lot of decent Nintendo fans just got banned in the thread, and a lot of them are not insane fanboys that's for sure.

Not true. They co-existed just fine in the old GAF.

They never really did imo. :p

The point is that so many people complaining how they can't stand Nintendo fans, so this should be a great suggestion for them.

The batshit insane anti-Nintendo fanboys definitely are not getting banned.
 
dude common. The only thing we don't want to see is extreme behavior and some that are the most loud are the "batshit insane Nintendo fanboys". Right now there's a move against them, fine. There's nothing more to say! What the fuck with this thread dude?
GAF don't want to exclude a whole crowd, just insane morons that's all. lol

Common man, you even could have talked about that in the other thread. I feel a lock is coming...

Who are the batshit insane Nintendo fanboys here anyway?

Olimario just went out and bought PSP and keeps going on about Katamari Damacy. Other posters like Speevy or Cybamerc or Jarrod are probably among the better posters on the board and hardly trolls.

So who exactly is this new "martial law" thing supposed to protect us again? If you don't want idiots hacking the forum, stop having mods starting topics/making posts which have no point other than to flame.
 
I want some names. Who and where are these many alleged Batshit Insane Nintendo Fanboys? The only one I can think of off the top of my head is gigadent/seismologist, and he is long banned. Others are merely junior members settling into what is usually a more mature environment than your typical VIDEOGAME FORUM ON THE INTERNET.

I think the problem is the 'jokes' isn't funny at all. It's tired and boring, especially by the same group of people. But anyway.....

The point is separating them should make these people less annoyed by Nintendo fans, then they should go to troll in the Nintendo board less often, thus less flamewars and trolling. Isn't that great?

What insane behavior? The 'insane behavior' is coming from anti Nintendo trolls right now you know, can't you see the 800 replies worthless thread? Decent Nintendo fans getting banned etc, and then all the complaining increases.

Separate them! It's that simple!
 
There are really no "crazy" Nintendo fans at Gaming Age. That's really all the DS Sucks thread proved. Couldn't ban anyone crazy, so guys like Speevy had to take the fall.

The really crazy ones fell off the bandwagon somewhere in between cell shaded Zelda and Miyamoto showing off Pac-Man VS. But really its been years.

The Nintendo fans left here are generally among the best posters and like Nintendo for its games despite their eccentric business policies, generally having a good knowledge of the company and the game industry as a whole.

Because Sony and Microsoft fans can co-exist. They can't co-exist with Nintendo fans though. Didn't you read all of them saying how they can't tolerate Nintendo fans, hence that justify their trolling action on Nintendo. Then Nintendo fans reacted. It's all a vicious cycle.

still no names?
Click to expand...

Names for anti Nintendo folks? You want me to name all the mods and admins? :lol

I agree wholeheartedly. Free Speevy I say.
 
I get the feeling Speevy wouldn't post here even if he was unbanned and I don't blame him.

How long has Drinky even been a mod? I've been posting here for five years at least and I don't remember it ever getting this bad.

Drinky Crow, MAF, drohne, BuddyC, Izzy, Prine, sonycowboy, and about 100,000,000 other guys on this board all had their accounts deleted by Grubdog when he hacked into the site. So now measures are being taken to make sure it doesn't happen again by pissing people off.
 
what i wanna know is how in the world does nintendo keep generating them?

i thought it was mainly people left over from the nes/snes era but fuck...theres like a whole new breed of em.

So two posts ago you were going on and on about segregating those crazy fans. And aside from not being able to name any one of them you're now agreeing that those fans who are left are ok.

So did you even have a point?

Is it hacking if you guess a password?
 
GAF seems to be mimicking the timeline of recent American history over the course of a week.

GAF Infiltrated == Pearl Harbour
GAF's Australian Gestapo == Internment of Japanese-Americans
Absolute Affirmation of Drinky's unrivaled power and decadence == Hiroshima

is there a thread somewhere explaining exactly what happened to gaf? I searched when it first came back up but saw no such thing.
 
You didn't happen to see that announcement at the top of the boards, did you? I know, most people miss it.

Umm are you sure you didn't read it wrong? Cuz you seem you read things wrong. Maybe you should make a point more clearly.
