Why don't we keep our IRC-problems on IRC, and our forum-problems on the forums?
I know it's hard to talk about your problems on IRC if you're banned, but it wasn't 'the guy with the problem' who started this thread, and besides, he wasn't even banned. I've had my arguements with the IRC-opers, they know I don't agree with some of the **** they've done, but what good would posting those conversations on the forums do? All I'd get would be reactions from people who don't know what has been going on (the guys bitching the most in this thread weren't even there... I might be mistaken because I wasn't there either - but I don't see the guys bitching in this thread stand up and say something in that IRC-conversation).
Oh, and posting Private Messages is way off, imo.
I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it: AntiOnline is NOT a democracy. Freedom of speech does NOT apply on the AO-Forums, nor on the AO-IRC... If JP feels like banning someone, if JP feels like badmouthing someone, he has every right to do so. JP has rights, you have duties. Not fair, you say? IMO, it's the only way to run AO.
If this were a democracy, 51% of all visitors would be enough to take away JP's admin-rights.
What would that lead to? JP IS AO.
Argue about it as much as you want, but don't bitch.
Hmmm, am I now supposed to say something like 'Since this isn't general chit-chat, I'm closing this thread?'...
im not bitching, i was not banned, but im such not understanding how JP and louie could do such a thing and not feel like they were in wrong...
i dont go on IRC much but the last 2 days the only people to give me a problem were JP and louie
louie is well respected there and i can understand why, but i dont see how anyone can be respected when they have to set a topic like "netsyn bitchs 2 much" when i was confronted about this thread
I am new here and already i can see that, the antionline irc channel is pretty much useless. It is full of flamers, i stopped in for a few minutes and the only topics being discussed were things like who is more lame than the other, this is a very cool board I only wish the irc channel could match the quality of material that is discussed in the boards. That is just my opinion, make of it what you will :o
LOL i guess u just came in the wrong time Shake..
There is no quality material on the forums..> It's all rubbish, for every 10 threads one of them is good....
<NetSyN> well, if you could just try and explain this to people itd stop alot of the fights, just apologize and say it was all miss understood and itll make alot of people happy and calm alot down
<Louie> i am not apologizing
<Louie> screw them
<Louie> its people like you that blew **** out of proportion
s0nIc is absolutely correct... at times, AO-irc is just about fun... people sit around, and talk ****... and I make a complete and utter ass of myself *what can I say, I enjoy it*...Quote:
but most times... you can go on it.. and nearly every legitimate question you ask can be answered in minutes... some of the smartest people I've ever met are on AO-irc... and a lot of them don't even use the forums...
its like riding a horse.. if you fall off.. you shoot the horse and get another one.... if you fall off that.. you open a butchery, and keep practicing your horse riding skills....
at least I think that's how it goes.....
Howdy gang! ;-)
Just an idea, but let's all get back to the business of information and (sometimes) entertainment. Since I have joined AO, I have been extremely impressed with the level of knowledge of the membership. I have learned a lot from many of you.
The recent turn of events with the flames posted resulting from an IRC incident seem to have started to wear on the nerves of many here and have begun to take up space that could be better utilized.
Those who are having an issue with anybody here should talk w/that person directly. Keep it off of the boards. I can understand JP advertising his situation on the site, hell, it's his! If you don't want to donate, then don't. Keep it to yourself. If you want to donate, then do so, you'll get a kudo next to your name as a sign of JP's appreciation. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that either. Jp's cause is honorable and most definitely worthy of our attention, I don't think there'd be much argument with that.
I'm just tired of the constant fighting. I'd really like to start seeing the posts we are accustomed to, and the rest of this to fade away. It's over - let it go. As for me, this is my first and last post on the subject. I will not post replies to responses to my post or any posts in the future about this situation, and I would suggest everybody else follow suit and let it drop.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had about enough of opening a thread only to find more flames and complaints.
I'm going back to Cosmos to debate with Neg!
;-)
Prime example of what i am taking about in this forum, look at my anti points, from my last statement someone has givin me bad feedback, childish, noone cares about "antipoints" at least i dont. It is people like that, that start flame wars. They simplay cannot cope with another person having opinions that differ from their own. I dont let things get me down while on the internet because my life is comprised of a lot more than computers. I have a job, girlfriend, play music, go to college, not to mention most of my computer activities involve 3DS max. later.. :cool:
Shake, I sent you a PM 10 minutes ago about those antipoints ("Sorry about those neg antipoints, I misread something on the chat - I was wrong... I'll get you back in the green next time...")... 10 minutes before you made your last post, that is. I was wrong. And if you would've read the comment that came with those antipoints, you'd know that it wasn't about your opinion, but about something I was wrong about. Just to clear that up.
