A Thread to Discuss the Evolution of "Other Games"

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Rofl, again...why? If you, or others, dont go to forum x, except just a handful, I dont see why that would matter to a regular user of this site. Its not like it detracts from your pleasure of posting in OT or anything....(or any other forum for that matter).

He's just suggesting an inactive forum be removed, I really don't see why this is a bother to you. Some of the other sub-forums, like Total War and (I think) Chess and GalCiv were created through posters suggesting they be created, why should it be a problem for posters to suggest inactive ones be removed?

@Mobby: I really doubt you found this that humorous.. you are trying to be grating

I am not going to repeat myself, my explanation is simple enough for you to understand

@Kan' thanks..

I'm not bothered. At all. In fact, I am just curious as to why it bothers him at all.

Well, I remember when Narz got the chess sub-forum created, so it would make sense to me for Narz to suggest it be closed due to lack of use....he was kinda responsible for it in a way. But for someone else to make the suggestion when the forum itself means utterly nothing to them just strikes me as odd for the simple reason that its inclusion or exclusion doesnt affect him in any way. At all.

Look, if you cant explain it, fine, I can always draw my own conclusions.

Oh right. Well that's up to Abamasloz then.

For what it's worth, I personally just don't see any harm in suggesting changes to the forum, regardless of whether it has any impact on you personally. We're on an internet discussion board for a video game series here, I generally don't take much of it seriously.

As for the Narz/Chess thing, then what if said sub-forum fell inactive and Narz wasn't around to ask it to be closed? It's hardly a bad thing for someone else to suggest it be moved elsewhere.

Look, if you cant explain it, fine, I can always draw my own conclusions.

I think you do that anyway

Why do you care if the Spore Forum does or doesn't get merged into All Other Games?

Please Mobboss, go back to befuddling threads in OT with your mock failure to understand the obvious. I was heavily involved in the creation of the Spore forum, and I have explained why it bothers me in a incredibly simple manner.

Well, see, I didnt know that and accept that as a great explanation. You could have said that from the beginning as opposed to being needlessly rude, like you do right here.

 

[Boundless]

Like he did... in the OP?

 

[MobBoss]

Like he did... in the OP?

He didnt mention that he was directly involved in creating the Spore forum in the OP....

Or if he did can you point that fact out to me? I cant see it.

 

[Abaddon]

That's an irrelevant factor MB.

 

[MobBoss]

That's an irrelevant factor MB.

Perhaps to you...not to me.

 

[Abaddon]

Thankfully, in this discussion. What you think is relevant or not, is itself, irrelevant

Wow, does your ego require you say that?

What I thought was apparently relevant enough to get the answer I was looking for. Thats proof to me of its validity, your opinion otherwise.

Have a nice day.

 

[Zack]

Why the hell do you care so much, MobBoss? Do you work for EA?

I am doing thank you. You inflated my ego by insisting that "why I care" is the important factor. If only we could apply "Does Abaddon care" to all parts of the forum, what a glorious world that would be, for me haha!

This has got to be one of the most ridiculous arguments I've ever seen, and it just goes to show that Mobby will argue almost anything so long as it's against the prevailing notions of people in the thread.

Bub, I havent been arguing....I asked a very, very simple question. After some hand wringing I actually got an answer that made sense to me.

In doing so, I got rude comments, and all sorts of other blah, blah, blah, crap in return.

This wasnt an argument. It was a fit because I had the audacity to ask 'why' of someone who apparently thinks they are above such questions, and has all his little buddies to back him up.

If I had known there was going to be all this whining and crying about simply asking 'why' something makes a dif to someone like this, I might have thought twice about asking it. I had no idea peoples skins were so thin that they couldnt actually give a cognizant and thoughtful answer to such a simple question.

 

[Abaddon]

Just curious...why do you care if Spore has a forum or not?

Hard to explain, but essentially I want the forum to be well organised. Bloating it with subforums that are not needed goes against this.

I still fail to see how my first answer evaded your comprehension...

 

[MobBoss]

I still fail to see how my first answer evaded your comprehension...

Because it doesnt answer the question I posited.

Perhaps you didnt comprehend what I was asking as evidenced of my reply to that post....

You gave me what you wanted to see accomplished without answering the reason 'why' you want to see those things accomplished. Thus, my continuation of the question.

Now, when you finally replied that you were instrumental in creating the spore thread, and desired to see it removed due to lack of use, that actually fits the criteria of my question. I even said that was a great answer.

Or did you miss that in your haste to toss insults my way?
