A rep system would have just that problem. People would go around acting stupid and down repping people. I have seen the rep system in action. It doesn't work. Pre-Christmas TA, it could have worked great. In fact, it would have helped the community, but not now. There is just too much immaturity.

I've just got to ask, do you have any self-esteem at all? Every other post has something to do with how great EDNG was. He's gone, what's the point of reminiscing on something we're not getting back?

Instead of remember pre-Christmas TA and how "great" it was, do something about it and stop complaining. You're acting like one of those old guys in nursing homes commenting on how everything was better before WWI. This is a frickin' iPhone game forum, for pete's sake, not a country!

You haven't a clue. I have plenty of self esteem, but WTF does that have to do with anything.

TA went through a noticable change after Xmas, and it was 10x better then. How can I do anything to change new members being new members?

This forum like any other internet forum is just going through the phrases. A period of good times when it just started, followed by a period of flooding when the forum gains popularity. If this forum is lucky, it won't be followed up with frequent flaming and intolerance of newbies, quarrels between admin/mods and forum vets over mod policies, and finally degeneration into neglect, chaos, flames and people leaving to form new forums.

It has changed. Which is why I stay away from the center of it, the Games section. The Lounge is the only refuge there is here. Hopefully people will get over the novelty of iPhone gaming, and go somewhere. And it's OFFENDED. I would change with it, but there is no reason to. It was forum perfection for the longest time, why change?

I decided that I'd go with it. I still like iBTF, since in isn't really an important word.

That's the point. Get over it. EDNI is banned and Klondike is to. (klondy is cool). Don't you see, your fighting a losing battle. Every day more people join and every day the old TA slips away. Some time you have to realize that it's not coming back. And better sooner then later.

Edit: Ah, well, read the rest of the posts, the fight's getting ugly. There seems to be a distinctive pattern here.

Pre-Christmas Conservatists vs. Post-Christmas Liberalists

Such a happy family :/

I really don't know what to say to you guys. Arn needs exposure and traffic if he wants to make this effort and contribution worthwhile. This is obviously gonna bring new members to the forum. I mean, that's how we all got here. We found TA. If you want a close knit of people, I don't know what to tell you. The internet really isn't the place for that. We're here, the best we can do is talk and avoid arguing, stop living the past. Get a group of friends and go out for a drink instead of angering yourself over something as petty as this. Really, man, life's too short.

Pre-Christmas Conservatists vs. Post-Christmas Liberalists

Such a happy family :/TA is just like a society!

People think about the good old days, while 'society' degenerates. And yet we get more new members to join, and more new devs that post on here.

And while some of the new members are posting a lot (to the point of it getting spammy), I believe that that's just a minority. Most of the new members can get to 100+ posts without ever being really noticed by the "Pre-Christmas" members. And that's what happens in a larger society, people can co-exist without having to notice each other, if they don't share the same (game)interests.

EDNG couldn't have 'saved' the forums. Yes, maybe he could have scared a few new members away. But I think that would have been the members who just joined and asked for game recommendations, they don't know that that will get them flamed. I don't think EDNG would have been able to keep the Pocket God topics to <10 pages a week.
And even if he WOULD have been able to do that, it's not how I'd like to see the forums 'managed'. If TA would have effectively been 'ruled' by a bully instead of the mods, not a lot of people would want to hang out here I think. (I know I was starting to take the side of the new members. I guess I'm a Pre-Christmas liberalist? :p)

I don't know what EDNG has to do with anything. He was simply someone who couldn't not break the rules. Just like anyone who breaks rules intentionally, there's no place for them here. It's no accident that those people don't feel welcome here -- they aren't welcome here.

The site will continue to evolve over time, and there's nothing you or I can do to stop that.

I see so much immaturity here, and I wish, even if you are only 12, you would at least act like you are a college grad, and be smart.

I agree completely! I use TA everyday and there are plenty of people who have a real passion for iPhone gaming and give great reviews and recommendations.

In terms of newbie flamings, I remember when I first joined, my first post was 'space ninja vs. snail mail', klondike and a couple of others got in on the act and, well, do I need to say anymore ;) The upshot of that is, I now always use the search function :D But folks such as spmwinkel, IBITF, coconut bowling etc, were really sound and welcomed me into the forums which I appreciated :) There are loads of really cool people on here but I have little time for members who have a bad attitude or tear into new members about spamming, when their posts flaming the new member is spam. I'm not mentioning any names, but a few are senior members. I think TA is an amazing resource with some great people and it would really suck if the community feel of TA was lost.

EDIT: this is slightly off topic but what did EDNG do? In my 'space ninja vs. snail mail' thread, he didn't give me a flaming, which is surprising now, given his reputation :confused:

Instead of flaming members tell them kindly. People will come back and thank you. And it sure feels a whole lot better then flaming. EDNG isn't a nice person. Maybe to his tools but not anyone else. Brewster and rocketman how many friends do you have?
Why not more?
Be nice and accept change. Have you been mentioned for being nice?
Why?
Because your mean. Your legend might still remain with the good ole boys but no one will like u if you flame.
Honestly, brewster you don't have to try to be EDNG. Be brewstermax. Whoever he is needs to realize that he can never step out of his shadow.
And ajd, glad I could welcome welcome you.
P.S. EDNG was banned for reasons we don't know and according to yuthe are confidential. He was mean spirited and I guess maybe the day u posted he was on drugs maybe. ;)

I think that arn would make a fresh forums if that happened. Leave this one to die, and make a new one about iPhone gaming.

wth are you talking about ME for? It's the quality of the posts. I am an active member and Arn has made it clear to me that I am valued member of this community.

Just ignore him.. his idea of a valued member is EDNG.. it is not Arn's view or the view of most members here.

Guys, I don't really like this discussion. We're here to talk about games, not yell at each other. So we all have different opinions - big whoop! That's life, let's move on. Candy, say sorry to brewstermax, brewstermax say sorry to Candy.

Candy say sorry to brew; why? Brew's the one talking crap about Candy. Somehow he has not spoken about me.

If they both say sorry to each other they somehow become equal in each other's eyes and it gets settled.

If you start arguing about who's right and wrong (which in this case shouldn't be happening), nobody's gonna shut up and the fighting goes on. So to reiterate:

Candy, say sorry to Brewcy, Brewcy, say sorry to Candy.

Kamazar says sorry to Brewcy because he called him Brewcy :p

Candy doesn't spam, most of the time she provides useful info on the games.

I have to agree with Brewster though on the fact that some of the newer members (with a join date of Dec or later) who have posts of 1000+ do a lot of spamming and don't have very much to say that is useful... I'm not referencing anyone participating in this discussion.

See brewster and rocketman?
Instead of flaming members tell them kindly. People will come back and thank you. And it sure feels a whole lot better then flaming. EDNG isn't a nice person. Maybe to his tools but not anyone else. Brewster and rocketman how many friends do you have?
Why not more?
Be nice and accept change. Have you been mentioned for being nice?
Why?
Because your mean. Your legend might still remain with the good ole boys but no one will like u if you flame.
Honestly, brewster you don't have to try to be EDNG. Be brewstermax. Whoever he is needs to realize that he can never step out of his shadow.
And ajd, glad I could welcome welcome you.
P.S. EDNG was banned for reasons we don't know and according to yuthe are confidential. He was mean spirited and I guess maybe the day u posted he was on drugs maybe. ;)
[/pysciatristIBITF]

Because its things like this that i cant nor want to be friends with people like you. Most if not all posts add nothing to the discussion, and the thing that i hate the most is all of the spelling errors. Yes, i know some people arent from around here, and that i can take, but when there are spelling mistakes in every post, multiple times, i just cant take it.

i don't like one thing in this discussion.
saying that people who joined in dec/jan do a lot of spamming, and that they destroyed spirit of TA.

so what, when this forum started no-one spammed?
everyone posted "useful" things?

i guess no. that is called "internet". :)

and for example:
i joined in january, but hey! check out my posts and threads i started. i think that 90% of them are useful, and they are adding something good to discussions.

i say BIG NO to spamming or newbies saying WhAt tO BuY :-P? but i also believe that we all can be a verry happy family here :)

peace!

EDIT: i just noticed that this important post is my number 1300. thank you TA :)

That's rubbish and you know it. Mean as ever I can see.

I don't go in that absolutely ****ed up section we call a Games forum, so I wouldn't know.

Fine then.

Fine. Sorry Candy. I could be entirely wrong about you. I don't venture into the Games section, and you could have very useful information to give to people concerning games.

Candy say sorry to brew; why? Brew's the one talking crap about Candy. Somehow he has not spoken about me.

I almost forgot about you Danny. Oh well. Too late now.

Yes, TA is a socialist nation. Everyone is equal. Except for arn, blake, and the mods.

Exactly. I can't believe the idiocy. Just so people will shut up about it, I'll take that out of my sig, and restrain from mentioning EDNG again, fair enough?

- Please avoid correcting spelling and grammar. English is not the primarily language for many people, and grammar discussion does not really add anything of substance to most discussions

what can i say? i'm sorry i was not born in usa, england, australia or other english based country.

[bad joke]Come on now, you and I both know it's USA, England, Australia.. :P

don't mind me, just being the bitch I are.[/bad joke] We good Panta, you're awesome at English :)

Basically, TA was absolutely awesome and I spent every day sucked into it's glory before Februaryish
then after that, became a massive community and is now only awesome. STILL awesome, just lacking from epic awesome. Also, from it's use I've learned Photoshop and have become really interested in graphics. Kinda random, but it's the best thing the internet has ever done for me :) - Cheers Danny, as you made me..

-do not insult people, if you can't refrain yourself from insulting then you don't belong here
And even if you aren't from another country, they could be on there iPod or phone. Candy, I think you contribute alot and greatly.
Yourofl I am so mad at you. I will hold it back but please don't talk to me for a while.

How has this turned from should there be a "reputation meter" type thing to a complete insult fest? C'mon guys, why do you all insult people about not contributing when your not doing it yourself? That's called hypocrasy.

I admit that the whole thing was probably my fault. So, I'm leaving, and not going to say anything else. I have had my say. I stand by most of it.

I'm not blaming you or any other individual so don't get me wrong. I just think we all need to get over ourselves and contribute to the forums by adding meaningful posts in the appropriate forum. We should all think before we post.

Arn has made it clear to me that I am valued member of this community.

Did he do it with a double negative?

He was simply someone who couldn't not break the rules.

If so, gather up all of your homemade reviews for codes, 1000000+ worthless spam posts, profile pics of unspayed or neutered pet monsters, bubblegum politics, + all of your pseudointellectual-pretender/poser junior highschool buddies, and blast ol' arnold in the face with a very, very, very, large carebare stare.

Then, go get a bite to eat and consider whether or not you should TOFT99CENTT. Ponder hard, and then compose 35 separate msgs detailing the nuances of the decision process. I dunno, maybe get bored and then track down the dev. Don't forget to kiss ass and beg for a code.

Make sure to say idiotic things like:

JAILBREAK TEH PHONE AND U BREAK TEH LAW GAIS.

Or remind everyone how you really are an oldschool gamer from WAY back.
