It wouldn't make a diffrence Godo. While I agree with you 101% it's still not our boards and we get no say in it. I usually just post whenever I have an idea and stay away for the rest of the time.

I hope you don't leave.

I never said I would leave. I said I'll just let you rot here :wink: .

I've contacted Xyex about cleaning Daizex Randomness up and make it more user friendly.

I'm awaiting his answer.

You want an off-topic forum frequented by the same people who frequent here. Daizex Randomness.

"But it's dead and noone posts there... so I don't want to post there... and Mike's a meanie... Shut the fuck up. You have the exact solution you're looking for yet you refuse to use it. Do you know why few people use the Randomness board? Because there are very few people who want a dedicated off-topic forum.

"But I'm not whining..." Yes. Yes you are. You are complaining about a problem we have solved for you. That's whining.

"You're all Mikes minions..." No, we disagree with him on many things. This, though, we agree with him on. There's no need for an off-topic forum here. There is one that exists and is referenced to repeatedly, and we've told you directly about it - but you refuse to use it.

"Screw you guys, I'm going home..." Aww... Godo's leaving? Again? Too bad we don't have an off-topic forum so we could lament it - if anyone does.
I really don't like you either. I have a hard time to respect people making embarassing dances for the Admin of their favorite forum on the Internet.
So I find most of the things you type just sad.
It's fun to see a guy with so little self respect having an ego.

If you want to discuss some more and defend yourself, PM me.
I have no more to discuss in this thread for some time now.

It's funny as everytime I think that something is bad here, and tell what I think, people write me PM's and thank me for doing so and also they tell me not to leave. That's also the case with this discussion. People don't say what they think because of that they are afraid to do so.
It's because of one member here I've decided not to leave.

I would make a post citing everything you've claimed you haven't done in this thread that you've contradicted yourself on, but I really don't have the time or energy right now.

All I can say is that you seem to have a memory worse than that of, to quote another on this forum, "a lobotomized goldfish".

I'll leave that there for now and come back and support my point when I'm not worrying about finals. But as offensive as what I just said may be, it really is true. You may have a point, Godo, but you're not exactly the best at articulating it.

That's all for now.
Art, etc. links taken down for now. Will be updated at some point. I dunno.

Just because someone disagrees with you completely doesn't mean they're sucking up. Yes, this board is run a lot differently than other boards out there. But you knew this BEFORE you joined. If you don't like it, why did you join in the first place?

It was mainly because he was mocking me, but you don't see that because you are in a defensive position. Basic psyological knowledge.

You are forgetting something...what I thought in the past about one thing is not nessecarily the same now.
Plus, I didn't know shit before I joined. Also, VegettoEX has gotten lazier as an Admin ever since I registered.
You guys really amaze me. Sure, my way of debating is not the best, but you, are much worse.
Hell, you don't even read my posts in a neutral manner. You see me as the enemy with a big E.

I've never encountered such lousy "debaters" as you here. Your arguments have been nothing like well thought of.
I've never been this irritated and spit on ever. Even in discussions about religion which use to be very rough in athmosphere.
I mean, I've been on the Internet in 11 years least. And I've had a history in many many forums. And you, my friends, top everyone.
Hell, remember Phenomenol? You hated him because of his way to debate? You aren't much worse yourselves.


Another thing:
If you can change something to the better, do it. Try.
Tell me, why shouldn't we change things here? Why shouldn't we try to make this forum better? What horrible event would occur if we changed things?

@ Caejones: I'm not about to give out Personal Messages if that's what you are asking for. But I get them once in a while.

But whatever, NOW, I give up. There is no point anymore.

And yeah, desirecampbell, I'm leaving for good this time. Be careful to not put a mark on Mike's butt when you kiss it.
And if this forum is down and you're panicking, you can add me on AIM and I'll discuss dragonball with you. Loser.

With the direction this conversation is taking I see it as less of a chance that any suggestions will be taken very seriously. Personally, I understand both sides, there is a forum where people can go and talk about whatever they want, but at the same time, sometimes it's hard to really get to know the people you're posting with and feel as strong a sense of community when you can never talk about anything else. Don't get me wrong, I don't want a crazy forum where people just post whatever they want, I'm not really sure where I am going with this...I guess the best bet would to be to use the randomness forum.

No, only one individual is actually. At least last I checked this thread. I think we can all put the "doomsday scenarios" back on the shelf for now. :)

And if apparently people are afraid to say what they think on this forum, perhaps then they should stop talking in private and just come out and say instead of PMing one member and whispering here and there. Just a thought. Yet the people here actually talking are the ones that are supposed to be the cowards with no backbone....? :?

We have a message board and a chat room and many users have AIM or YIM or ICQ or MSN links so you can talk to them over I'm, and you can be as off-topic as you want in PMs. I've got a strong sense of community with the people here that I talk to, those who I talk to just on the boards and those who I talk to off of them. Hell, I met my Fiancee here, for crying out loud.

Even back when the forum had just really started going some of us wanted to talk about things other than Dragonball. We asked Mike then about an off-topic board and he expressed his desire to keep the boards here focused to prevent, well... basically to prevent exactly what happened on the introductions boards.

And we were fine with that. Why? Because we knew it was Mike's board, thus it is run the way that he wants it to be run. And we weren't too lazy to use I'm services and IRC or to make and use a new board to talk about other things. That's why Random is currently going so slowly. The old memebers that actually cared for an off-topic area are gone and the new members just want to complain about not having it. :?

That's basically why I said the best option is the randomness board. I don't have a problem with the way Daizex works at all, I just haven't had the opportunity to get to know many people even though I have been here quite a while. For the most part I was agreeing with you.

Yeah, but I felt like it was something that needed to be pointed out in detail for others to see.

Not to sound like something I am not, but I don't see a thread like this serving any purpose. This only shows how a off topic thread would be handled and why it's not a good idea to have one. Who knows why VeggettoEX closed down the Introductions section. Probably because he did it as a experiment and now that is over, he found out that it would not work. fighting and arguing won't change his mind. If you have to do the whole bitch and moan show, do it on your Myspace or if you're more hip then your FaceBook. This has been VERY STUPID. JMFOS.
Regresa a sus vidas, señoras y señores. Ustedes puede ver el cuerpo de ése.

To be honest I miss the Intro forum too. But I think that I am not about to get into arguments online over it or over the other randomness boards out there. Get back to your lives ladies and gentlemen, there isn´t anything to see here. Except the dead body of the thread.

I don't like that it was closed either, but this is getting a bit silly - it's the Daizex Forums and he has full control on what he does and doesn't want talked about here. Nothing we can do about it. :?

Besides, if you wanna say hi to the new members so bad, you could, I dunno, PM them? That's what I'm doing whenever I see someone posting in the intro thread. :D

You know, I don't get it... why would Godo run to DRandom if he doesn't like it here? It's all DaizEx members over there.
And people, you didn't need to bash at the people promoting the board. Seriously, there is reason as to why Godo left. He took those reasons too seriously, but some of you guys just wouldn't stop getting on everyone else's case just because they had an opinion - and I'm not talking about the season sets debate, that's another story.
