The Angry Masses

Posted by Game Fortress on June 25, 2006, 1:39 p.m.

I run my own forum where I post my games and open source stuff that never makes it to the gm public. A few members of 64 also frequent my forum, so you may or may not have heard of it.

As the Admin of a forum of my own, I have come to respect the brave souls who run sites like this or the GMG because an Admin can NEVER please everyone. I get pm's flamining me when I havent even done anything. Its a great system.

Of course, in order to be hurt by sombodys opinion you first have to value it, so most of these messages are actually pretty hilarious. I get a kick out of the ones in all caps especially.

I have pretty much become desensitized to it by now. Its funny what people will say and how they will act when they arent talking to a persons face, eh? Screen names have the tendancy to make people braver than their real life counterparts.

I know of your forum, I believe it was Halibutski who told me.

Sweet, I'm respected. Haha. But yeah, it does take a lot of effort to run, especially when you've got tons of pointless blogs to go kill, and 30+ (it's been to 60 a few times) games to sort through.

Yeah, that's true.

Halibutski was probably the one. He does a great job of moderating for me.

My favorite is when they post insults as guests and then try to tell me it wasnt them, despite the incriminating idetical IP to the guest.

That's exactly why i turned guest posting off on my website… well, that, and to prevent it from being massively spammed.

Yeah, I will probably disable it too. its not very beneficial.
