Does chipping your PS2 also work with playing imported PS1 games too? I have a few and I was toying with the idea of chipping my PS2 (to play Mojib Ribbon no less)

I've just read Xkeeper's post and he makes some valid points (as well as the restaffing) you see, fif you just keep the staff there all the time it keeps them complacent and they might even get bored, that said I think for the most part ehry're ecellent, I hardly see them do their jobs (which is a compliment BTW). But... a reshuffle could be what might revitalise the MB,.

I've been in your exact situation Staff members, so I know how frustrating this may look, the thing is no one's blaming you per se, just the genreral environment and suchlike.

Oh and one more thing, I'm not aware of the details but having just checked in the Trashcan for the thread that lead to XKeeper's banning, whilst what he did was pretty childish, I've been insutled like that in the past, I've been trolled and this one user treated me like crap. He was merely warned once, not banned (although it was sufficient to stop the abuse). You can'tt have one rule for one offense and not another. Why should insulting a staff member be any different to insulting a normal user? It even says so "Banned for 3 days for insulting a staff member", as if Staff members are more worthy than the rest of us.

I'm playing devil's advocate here BTW, I know how difficult all this is, trust me, compared to the Cit, this place is like the Brady Bunch

Posted on 05-11-04 06:51 AM, in Australian Rugby VS American Football Link
I hope I'm not flamed for this...

GTo begin with Rugby is English, I should know most of my family comes from the town where it was invented (called, "Rugby", unsurprisingly).

American football is like a spiritual succcessor of Rugby League, only I find the constant "Stop Start" play of A.F too distruptive for me, Rugby has more flow to is, especially Union.

Ok, so Wales were playing Russia in a Euro 2004 qualifying match last year and they lose but it turns out that one of the Russian defenders was on steroids at the time. The Welsh FA are appealing and the results will be known tomorrow, but what do you guys think? Should Russia be kicked out of the tournament and Wales go in their place?

You have to admit they're usually frowned upon though and that most Admins would in factt post init and say something like "SI this thread really nessecary". mind you it could be because those threads go spammy real fast.

Erk -
1. HIrryuu wasn't around when this htread was created
2. DO you REALLY suggest he should have kicked off a thread that said "I don't think that General Mod thread is nessecary"?
3. Calm down dear, it's just a commercial (A UKbie joke there)

Seriously, well done Toxic, hope you do a nice job.

hhallahh - I've got a very sick notion, perhaps when the COaliyion forces made gains, as the Iraqi forces were pushed back they slaughttered the Shiites, fearing that if Saddam lost power then the other religions may come to order, sort of a scrotched earth meets ethnic cleansing sort of deal?

Valcion - I'm 24, and if you actually read my posts you'd realise that I had a few constructive points in there, however if you'd like me to leave then I'll do so *shrugs*.
Surely airing our grieveances is our god given right, don't you believe in free speech over the pond? However when we do so we're told to "Shut the F*k up" is it any wonder that some people are disenchanted with the staff.
I realise that a tirade such as this may lead to my banning, but to be honest I've lost track of what could lead to my banning at any rate. Perhaps I'm not intelligent enough, too outspoken and just to "Dumb" in your opinion to post here, I honestly don't know, however I've yet to see a rational and calm argument from a staff member replying to the grieveances that Xkeeper and others such as myself have highlighted. I've actually praised the staff here on many occasions, hell even in this THREAD, but I do have concerns. As it is, I'm keeping my concerns here, on this forum, away from most of the rest of the board, as I don't want a flame war on my hands, but it seems that even that is too much.

I really don't want to leave, I like it here, and for the most part I'm "Living the fun posting experience" but there are one or two niggling things I don't like about this place and these things are growing by the day only to be slapped down when I mention them and being accused of being "whiny". Bloody hell I know how difficult it is to run a plac like this, but when dissenting voices like mine are gorwing by the day, the thing to do is LISTEN, not shout at us, not accuse os of all just "acting up", LISTEN and then give your side, calmly and cooly. Hardly anyone's done that so far.

Nor do I, I assued until recently that Yoshi was male... now I'm just confused.

A serious confession would be I'm getting really worried with the way that the relationship between staff and users on this MB is developing, I've seen it happen before and it's not nice to watch. Last time this happened on another board I was in the center of it so I know how that feels.
