This one is quite different from the previous two. This one actually deals with a rather large problem, the Game Maker Community (I'll refer to it as GMC).
Now first off, I'd like to say don't get me wrong; I love the GMC to death. In fact, I browse the place for hours even scrolling up and down the page to kill time and see someone reply on a topic I posted on (boring summer…go figure). 99% of the time I'm there and I'm waiting…so I'm extremely active in there. However, being extremely active also allows me to see the FREAKISHLY HUGE FLAWS that the GMC unfortunately possesses.First off, let me get on with the members. Most people would keep in certain issues with certain other members, but I'm going all out on this one so if I start talking about you, please don't kill me…I just feel you need to change in some ways.There's a few members that get me extremely POd every single time they post something. The prime example is member numbah91. It's really disgusting how this guy thinks he's cool by saying that anyone interested in game making is a nerd, but through his laughable definition, he managed to call HIMSELF a nerd! Then his pathetic sig says:Everyone hates me. But I don't care.The mods here hate me. But I don't care.Everyone wants me to die. But I don't care.Everyone thinks I'm a n00b. But I don't care.Ok as for the first–you moron! You start off acting like a complete idiot people will hate you. You don't sign up and people start hating you. Through your idiotic actions people start hating you.As for the second–let me tell you that moderators there do a great job on those forums, so if they repeatedly punish you, you've got nobody to blame but yourself. If you. It's not that they hate you, it's that you're acting like a complete fool up there!As for the third–well it's just tureAnd as for the fourth–that's because you are one. We don't think we KNOW.He not only prompts to put the pathetic sig in there, but he also manages to post a complete topic about how people flame him through PMs. Oh great job. In an attempt to publicly shoot down these PMs–which I all agree on by the way– you manage to show everyone how everybody hates you, so everyone knows how loved you are. Good job there.Well I could go on with this little nugget of a member, but I'll move on.Then there's our beloved hpapillon. Now I wouldn't have nothing against her if she just would have the decency to answer a question with courtesy and not insult the people, followed by a smiling emoticon. I mean, why the freak would you want to put a smiling emoticon at a direct attack? Just so you know, putting that thing after an insult doesn't water down the insult at all. And she does this in 9/10 posts! I'm serious (I counted)!Now as to Harry. There's a topic called "Flaming" and here people discuss flaming and stuff. He says: "if someone says something you dont like just ignore for example". Yeah how about following your own example before telling people how to act! He promptely goes to a different topic in the same forum and says: i don't understandEDIT: ooooh i get it. It was such a stupid question I didnt understand it(AT-ADDJenius) Go away n00b your thick! Scram!Why don't you practice what you preach eh? Why be the worlds biggest hypocrite and act like that?Anyway, there's a bunch more people that I want to talk about but I simply don't have time for that.Now onto creations and stuff. Let me tell you THAT PLACE IS MORE MESSED UP THAN A JOHN WAYNE MOVIE. Seriously, they reply to all these stupid itiotic Halo/Pokemon clones saying they're super awesome and run right over original, fun and actually GOOD creations!! WTF? And people tend to say "0/10!!" When they can't play it "8/10" When they CAN play it "10/10" when they find the fun factor larger than 0.000000001 and above 10/10 when they actually like it. How more messed up is that?? How about decent ratings!!And how about absolutely useless posts! I've seen numerous times posts with nothing but a smiling emoticon. Oh very informative. What the heck is that supposed to be? Is it good, does it suck so bad you laugh? WHAT?Then onto the creators, there's people who just cannot take criticism at all! They say " I don't like it" and the creator says "OMG! You n00b get away from me!! You suck!" and "I'd like to see YOU do it!!". So you take opinions, but no negative. It's like telling someone how to feel!And what about those topics in the community complaining? Seriously, these people are just sad! I swear one topic said "How come we can't swear but we can post gory and violent games?" YOU'RE complaining about why we can't swear? That's just sad!So there you have it. My GMC and third rant.
*ducks and covers before RockyRan explodes in fury*
I do, however, agree with everything you said. Especially the part about John Wayne movies.Best R-n-R yet. =)
Stupid numbah91. I always get to his topics AFTER they're closed. =(Lol, JakeX I don't mean to sound like I'm about to explode. On these, I tend to overuse the !!!s however…
