Posted by witeasprinwowI think, like before, people are substituting "n00b" for "troll".Posted by KawaiiImoto-e Not everyone likes a troll-filled environment -- like you said, it's not for everyone, and the amount it occurs at ||board, it's not for most people. |

Oh, ok. I thought he meant "n00b" as in newbie, as in new user.
Doubly confusing because kawaii is old enough to know who's been around and who hasn't. |

Posted by witeasprinwowHer last made it quite clear that she was talking about ROM Hacking forums there, which I'm inclined to agree about (although ROM hacking in general will always be filled with a proportion of "I can use Nesticles to make Mario into a giant penis!" members)... |

Posted by cpubasic13Yes, but the intent wasn't to point out splits that happened after the main one, just splits in general.Posted by KheizHasn't GG been around for a very long time? IIRC it was around way long before any splits, and if it was started after a split it was around the first split anyway. I recall it being in Kirbynite's layout for the longest time. Spinoff communities aren't anything new and never have been. RPG Revelation, for another good example. Nifty Boards. EDS. The list goes on. |

It's not a spinoff of anything. Where something comes from != the spirit of the community. It is separate and quite unique in and of itself.
Also, who are you, anyway? ____________________  |

Posted by Dr_Death16 DrDeath makes a really good point. You could change the gameFAQs board to an acmlmboard layout, and it'd still have downs. |

Posted by Dr_Death16 
Posted by witeasprinwow Yes. But as far as my memory serves me, I recall most of these forums having a predominantly Acmlm's-Board memberbase. RPG Revelation, for example, had Tuvai, Acmlm, Colin, Hiryuu, many others (just these that spring to mind). EDS has Elric and Happypeepeehead, as well as a few others. Nifty Boards had Shroomy, Acmlm, Emuz, many others. I think most of them just used Acmlmboard layouts because it was free and done by a friend, as opposed to other, more popular things like wwwthreads that potentially cost money (I never dealt with it, so I cannot say for sure.) |

Posted by Kheiz I don't think this really impacts his point, though. Maybe some of them were clones, but others definitely have their own unique feel. |

Of course, and any spinoff will have its own feel regardless of who's there or what's going on.
Even this board's feel has changed over time. Nothing's the same as anything else, unless it's a complete, 100% clone. |

Posted by setz GameFAQs had a few more dozen spinoffs, and now...they're all dead. |

Posted by KawaiiImoto-eI know you're talking about the rom hacking sections, because General Chat has almost 100% "olbies" on ||Board. |

I really don't think the whole idea is necessary. I've seen people who are still registered to acmlm II register on the ||board just the same. There doesn't seem to be any conflict whatsoever.
Anyone in favor of staying in the acmlm II forum will remain. Anyone in favor of both will register on either side. Anyone in favor of staying in the ||board will remain. Everyone wins, we're all happy. By the way, out of curiousity... by definition, wouldn't this thread count as advertisment of another forum? Most of the board regulars are already quite aware of the other forums. Why should this idea be brought back to our attention if you don't mind my asking?
Although I don't have any grudges against ||board members, I personally prefer to stay here in acmlm II mainly because I have attached myself to our great staff, adopted a comfortable posting environment, and because I am much too lazy to register and check on multiple forums. If I wanted to know what the ||board is talking about, I'd simply spectate their threads. I do care about the forums but on the otherhand, I dislike the idea of taking sides and prefer not to be seen as one or the other. All of us came from the same original forum and over the years shared the same outrageous moments, why should we treat eachother any different? 
On a sidenote about the emo crapola... STOP IT! Drama is like a scab, if you pick on it you'll scar yourself. If some idiot posts something that pisses you off, let it go and let the admins handle it. It isn't a mind-test. |
