So now he's left for good? A shame to see yet another high-quality user and moderator go, however, what he says is pretty much true. People say it's the same, but definitely the tone and aggression in a lot of posters nowadays has stepped up. It's a bit disheartening to see some people so quick to get to negative news on a company almost to start an argument, and that seems to be happening more and more (IMO anyway).

Still, it is sad to see another talented moderator, and great user, go. All the best Tads!

I actually think that the sales threads on these forums don't get enough replies given that it's the focus of this site, unless it's a sensationalist thread designed to get hits.

OT: I love you, Trash!

Wait, what?

Yeah.

A typo in my post, I wanted to say "I personally do not like this..."

Yup. This is the second time that I read about it in close succession.

As for my thoughts - can't take the heat - get out of the oven. This is a console sales tracking-based website, fanboys and fanboy wars are hard-coded into it. The mod team deals with it well 95% of the time, and the site is miles more interesting than it was in late 2011 up until June 2013 (back then, I started lowering activity and altogher quit because the discussion got so repetetive and boring.)

Competition and fanboy wars are in huge part the nutrition of any gaming website, when they die off, everything dies off. We are lucky to have both the wars and a decent enough community thanks to moderation.

Guess you have mod powers now ...

I feel kinda shitty that Amp and Trash both pretty much left because they became mods. The stress of it isn't worth them leaving :-/

Still gotta work on getting Amp back here. Some sort of targeted harrassment campaign through Miiverse

We've got an open spot now, though. We could use your particular brand.

Do you mean an open spot for moderation on here or an open spot to harrass Amp to come back lol? Always kinda wondered if there was a set amount of mods for the forums since seeing a couple either quit the site altogether or else become very inactive but keep the title of moderator. Saying that I know a lot of stuff goes on in the background of the site so I'm not saying that someone who doesn't post is a mod who isn't working his ass off for free to keep this place from turning Vile.

"set number" would imply that someone higher up the chain than axumblade or torillian gives a damn about what goes on here <_>.

Mods are just normal posters too, though, and leave the site for perfectly normal reasons.
