Right when I solved one problem...another headache emerged. It seems I can't catch a break! Am I cursed or something?
The whole getting-banned-for-no-reason made me kinda depressed in the past...when you spend three years of your life passionately contributing to a community every day making tens of thousands of posts and then you're just discarded like trash for no good reason....it really sucks. It's dehumanizing, you know? It's pushed me away from online communities and made me really hesitant to embrace others. And banning my contact from NPD on a whim after he was helping GAF for three months and THEN making up all these bullshit lies about him to cover their tracks...that was the last straw. Incredibly unprofessional and petty of them...downright embarrassing that an actual company like NeoGAF LLC would act in such a manner.
Just one of countless examples of their nonsense, I'm afraid. But whatever. I have a great life, great job, and a production company outside of forums and that's what I've been prioritizing.
The community is great, especially people like CosmicQueso who has an incredible trove of retail wisdom and insights. That's what made me gravitate to GAF in the first place. I encourage all of them----especially you, dude----to get out while you still can. They are trigger-happy-god-complex fanatics who will find some minor slight with you and shun you like a piece of discarded trash like they did with me. It's just a matter of time. |
Yea I'm well aware of the shenanigans that have been happening behind the scenes. Word has made its way down the grapevine so to speak.
I'll certainly give this forum a try and see how it goes. My main concern is the time zone difference. With Sales AGE I know I can still be part of a discussion despite my vast difference in waking/working hours. I would be worried that it might not be the case on forums such as this one that are dominated by a US centric population. Hopefully there are a substantial number of contributors here that are active during my posting windows. We shall see.
I know many of the other Sales AGE regulars know about your presence here and I too hope more of them take a dip into these waters. I'll do what I can to encourage it.
