we just want the fight club back.
Y'know what? Fight club was alot of fun for a while, but real soon it became a source of real animosity between certain posters, Kenshin aside (what the hell happened to that guy, anyway? He went flat-out loony - he used to be kinda sane back in the GF Tavern days).
The boards became really negative, and if you want to know why people like Dacaz left (even me, for a while) it was because they needed to go to a place like Neomega where people can act like human beings for a breath of fresh air. There was considerable discussion on Neomega devoted to this fact. Fight Club was cool, but since it's a club, it should be members only - you have to earn the right to post there by not being a knob, and membership can be revoked if you're not mature enough to handle it.
TNL is the best place I've come across on the web to talk games with people who really know their stuff, even if there are a few Shenmue-hating troglodytes among you ;) The volume of discussion and people who know the answers to various and sundry gaming questions is unmatched, and the fact that the Gamefan/GameGo community lives on here is awesome. (It's hard to believe it's only been a year since the demise of Go!)
But I think the mods should get a little more strict with certain final-fantasy-name-number type posters. If it's obvious that somebody's either mental or a dumbass, just keeps annoying people, and isn't even funny while doing it, they should be told to take a hike, forever. The internet's a big place, they'll live without TNL. And TNL has hundreds of posters - it can certainly live without them, especially when they're on like strike 7. If you catch my drift.
And Ethugg's toned WAY down since last year. He hardly even swears anymore.
EDIT: Also, I hate it when people post "Didn't we already have this thread? :confused: " , just because somebody missed a page-and-a-half thread that was on the first page for all of four hours three weeks ago. Not everybody lives on these boards.
And I also hate Korly's sig. It's nasty. Change it already!
In another bit of irony, the irony of my statement was lost in irony.
A little bit ironic, don'tcha think?
Somebody please kill me for this.
Bahn, Nick, thanks for allowing me to be one of the TNL staff. It'll be fun bringing the community some real info-straight from the source. Of course I won't stop there. I'll be sure to show you all whatever else you might be interested in from the "gamer's paradise" itself.
Yeah, I've had my share of run-ins as well, but that's all past. More people have looked past my "style" and saw that I was really trying to contribute some worthwhile info anyway.
Overall, I have no problems here myself. I see that will always be those folks who cause problems, but as long as there's a means to deal with 'em, then it's all good.
I look forward to further being apart of the legacy that spawned from the Go! boards! :D
Sa, KOI!!!
lol Ok Ok. Well seeing as I'm the one who came up with the overall idea of Fight Club. *Under a different name which I forget* I'll probably be back modding it like I used to only this time I'm going to be a bit more of a hardass there.
One thing abotu Fight Club I like was sometimes people got some real imagination going on and started some threads about off the wall or obscure shit that made ya think twice.
I dunno what to say but I do miss it myself as well seeing as it was originally my Modship home. :D
I haven't been to Neomega all that much, but to me it seems like this board with a fraction of the activity and a lot of trying to be funny. Then again, I might have gravitated to the wrong topics. What exactly constitutes this "fresh air"? Is it because the admin atmosphere around here is too restrictive, we attract too many new posters, neither, or both?Quote:

You say there was considerable discussion on this. Was that all in one thread or all over the place? I would love to read it. I saw something over there that was little more than admin-bashing. Frankly and bluntly, that is of questionable value seeing as how flexible the management here is. Has no one seen how this board incorporates suggestions from the community? Think about it.
If you can keep a secret, I will tell you that there have been some sightings of a face from the past - one that seems to be dear to some TNL posters. It is a little reticent to show up again, and it will be a little less accessible if it does return, but I saw it peeking around the corners every now and again. But maybe it was just the shadows from my pot-bellied stove dancing on the wall.
This is not the first complaint I have heard about Zidane. I honestly thought he was gone. As I said, I have been off-an-on with these boards for months. But, as you may have noticed, I am back and thisclose to making some happy announcements (a taste is several posts above this one).Quote:

I have not noticed anything new from Zidane in a while, but there have been some other annoyances to deal with.
My contact information is in my profile, if anyone wants get in-depth with complaints off the boards.
You have such a cute ass Nick. :D
Yeah, and it ain't full of shit, either. :p
Hahahahahahah I certainly hope not. I would hate to think you 'Stink' at your job. :p
Especially if he's on duty! :sweat:
