Kazuya, you really have the only sane SNK board.

[rebellion1]

Dude i just wanted to say thanks, this board is the ONLY board that isn't crawling with the fucking retards that i had the opportunity of meeting on some places i went.

Snk-capcom forums are ok, but really not much is said on them for the most part but they are decent.

however, nothing could prepare me for the total insanity of the neo-geo.com boards.

holy fucking shit, some of these people really need to get their head checked. I mean, its good to be a fan of something, but these people take it to the (unhealthy) extremes.

case in point - I joined up because i saw a sweet deal on a modded AES unit. He lived near me, and i was almost gonna get it...but then i just realized that as much as i love the neo, i am just fine with the ports on DC and ps2. The guy was cool with that, and i thought these would be some great people to talk with.

or so i thought...

there was a topic that on there not so unlike the one on here right now about the phuck ign kof 2001 comparison. It all started just fine, untill one poster started yelling about how all ports sucked. Then another joined him, then someone said something different and the entire place started going apeshit.

Of course, i didnt help things...well, i'll let you see for yourself. I presented a valid point towards a member called dangerousk, and he went apeshit on me...and much hilarity insued.

I was Destra3, just read the post to see how insane some of the shit is on there.

hehehe, my haiku tribute really pissed some of them off.

And then i got banned.

basically, i got banned for having a different opinion, and making one of the fags on there look like a fool.

I have nothing, and i mean NOTHING wrong with people who play AES games, hell i would too if i had the money. but when someone just goes apeshit because you are having fun with an "inferior" port...well thats just sad.

Discuss.

[Raiken]

Heh well I don't blame you for being angry(man those guys are rude) but you should have held back a little bit IMO ;D Did those other members even get a warning about that crap they pulled? That's really unfair.

[rebellion1]

you know after the 4th person started going crazy about ports, i knew i had to bring the A material.

Just spent my paycheck
No 3-D backgrounds for me
*Ding* Ramen is done


oh man that's good.

[seiryu]

Mh, that guy's pretty rude and arrogant.
Who the hell is he to judge other people's opinions and even judge people themselves with crap like:
The overall SNK feel is lost when playing the ports.

Then again most noobs don't really see this because the chances are they never sat in arcades playing these games.
Pf, as if he knows how people are.
And really........overall snk FEEL is lost?
Give me a friggin break.......

It reminds me of the kiddy years when you had one cool toy and you always thought that your toy was the coolest and best comparet to everyone else's toys.
That's how he comes across

But oh well, that's how it goes on some boards, and the funny thing is, those kinda people almost never get banned cos they keep the threads running with their all day posting asses.
A normal discusion in there is also a waste of time, as many are just very narrow minded about looking a little further than their opinions.

[BoriquaSNK]

I had a BIG problem with that site a while ago. I learned to love it though due to some great deals I've had with the members in my sig.

Too_short and DangerousK are notorious for flaming non-collectors...if you wanna be safe there just don't mention ports at all.

Neogeoforlife.co.uk, the drama free alternative to Neo-Geo.com

[Serge]

Yeah, i have noticed that things get real hectic there.
That is why i joined this forum, the people here are friendly and dont go for your throat every time you have a different opinion.
I myself always try to watch what i say, and if i do anger a fellow forum member without a just cause, i will ask for forgiveness. I guess its good manners or something

Totally agree with you, that's how people should act

[Candycab]

Just thought I would chime in and say Hello ...... and welcome to the forums ;D The NG.com forums seem to come off as ,more or less like a joke these days rather than a decent fan site..... As previously stated if someone doesnt agree with anothers opinion alot of people tend to act childish in their replies with constant flaming, which seems to spread like fire amongst the ignorant. My thought on treament of others is that none of us here or any other forum should treat another any different that we would in person. I know for a fact that very few I have ran across at NG.com would treat me with any disrespect in person as Im sure they wouldnt others as well ;D

Personally I still like to troll around and try to help out in the tech section but spend very little time elsewhere.

Im pretty baked on all the BS that never seems to subside over there and glad that Kaz decided to start these forums and gave me the privelage of helping out in a Mod capacity even though my fellow mods seem to beat me to everything that needs attention

Its nice to have a place where people can still have discussions with one another and remain civil no matter what differences in opinion we may all have .. although I think the majority of us tend to think alot alike I.E. no drama needed to have a fun place to hang and share thoughts and ideas ;D

As for Vihn's site {Snk-Capcom} Vihn is a great guy and the site is coming along well ,but the forums tend to be a bit on the stale side most of the time ,so I hardly check them out anymore. I still drop in now and then to look the site over for anything new that may be news related ,but Capcom doesnt really interest me these days so its a rare occurance.

Anyway Welcome aboard and if you need any info or help/opinions on any thing Neo or otherwise Arcade related let it rip and if I can help I will be glad to do so , as will many others here aswell


Bye the way guys ... Ive been working waaayyy too much lately so I probably wont be able to get in here but every few days so my replys to anything may take a bit

[Daaren]

The thing that bugs me off from www.snk-capcom.com forums is that there's a lot of people and most of them ignores your posts if your not someone that have been there for a while and it give you the idea that your posts are useless.

And of coure, this place tends to have people who flames newbies

[rebellion1]

hey candy, i been on these forums for awhile now ;D

i just decided to see what else was out there...and im never looking again.


hehehehe

[Kazuya_UK]

Thanks guys

With regards to neo-geo.com, I personally still have the utmost respect for Shawn as he is a good guy and all my dealings with him in the past have been very good. The forum there is also good for some things still - the tech support forum for instance is still very helpful at times, and the selling forum is a very good thing.

The main problem with that site though now is that too many people there seem to lurk around and wait for the opportunity to flame someone. When a site has as many members as neo-geo.com has, you can guarantee that there will be a lot of people with VERY different opinions... now this can be a good or a bad thing depending on how you choose to express those differences. If everyone had the same opinion then all conversations on the internet or otherwise would be boring, so having a different opninion to someone else is good as it gives you something to talk about with each other.

If however, you choose to express that difference of opinion by needlessly flaming someone or posting derogatory remarks, then that's just silly. Unfortunately, neo-geo.com has gotten to the point where a small number of flamers start arguments on there on any post that they don't agree with, and that escalates further and further, turning many decent threads into flame wars...

As for snk-capcom.com, I like the site a lot and I now Trieu is a great guy, but I don't tend to post on the forums much as I spend most of my time here obviously. Also, I find that there are FAR too many sections on the forum there, which means posts tend to get spread out too much... and I never have the time to go through each section individually to be honest. That's why I've deliberately put a small number of different sections on this forum and gradually added new ones as we need them... this is a better way to do it imho.

We'll always endeavour to keep this forum a friendly place to post in. Thanks again

Kaz
