I'll have no choice but to remove you from vgchartz to prevent you from trying to take more people over and prevent you from growing larger and taking control away from vgchartz.(No one is taking poeple, no one is growing larger, no one is taking control.) You are already trying to threaten me and tell me that I am powerless now - proving my point.(Powerless to control where people go and who they talk to...powerless to fight windmills... not at all... you are quie powerfull in that area :) JK... but seriously we are windmills and you are treating us like dragons...)

I have to protect my site guys and I can't really believe it is what any of you want.

No one said that you were powerless.

You are powerless on Section 8, since that isn't your site, but you are in power on this site.  Obviously, as you are the creator/owner.

How are any of those talking about VGC badly?

I said the same Soriku thing directly in the "Who is in Section 8" thread in this forum.
Was that talking bad about VGC? And he put an 'lol' after it.

I don't get how the top 2 are insulting VGC either. This Section 8 is too "open", and anyone with >750 posts is welcome. Would we want leo-j here? I see nothing wrong with those posts.


Edit:

Nevermind.  Should've read the actual quotes in question.

Well the first one calls this site a "dupe account" to see if people are "worthy" of the other site.  The second calls it a "diversion" for the real thing.

Anyone is welcome here as long as they follow the rules... if you have a problem with what this place is, why don't you work on changing it the right way: through helpful and constructive suggestions.

The first two are taken out of context, but I can't go further into what they really are, since the person who wrote them isn't here.  But I will tell you that how they are read, and what they are meant as are two different things.

And note that these posts were made when anybody could access the new S8 via our posting histories.

Edit: Well, most of them were made during that transitional period when nobody really knew the limitations of the new S8 were going to be.


i remember ioi working very hard that day to hide the POST in your history. Trust me, it's not easy to find this section. Look how many people have posted so far.

@DMeisterJ - because you have no right, in a vgchartz environment, to exclude people. This is my website, not yours. I make up the rules (as part of an established team of advisors and administrators).

If you want to go and setup your own forum whereby you have total contol over who uses it and what rules you have then of course you are free to do so - but what you are not free to do is use vgchartz to pm people to come and join your new site and to be honest if you feel you are too good to play the game like everyone else has to then you are not really welcome here at all.

You can't have both I'm afraid.

Again, I hope that by "you" you don't mean me.

I didn't PM anyone, I didn't make the site, I'm merely defending the honor of the person that did so.  He is/was not elitist or anything like that.  

What game is anyone playing?  

So you can just make up the rules.  We can't exclude people, but the Section 8 forum on your  site can?

Oh, I know.  He's done wonders in hiding this place.  

Also, I realized that the quotes in question were not what I thought, and my response had little relevence to the topic at hand.  I have since edited my previous post.

No. There is a perfectly good section 8 here, which I don't 100% agree with anyway, but decided to implement for the 20-30 of you who want to have somewhere a little more exclusive to talk.

Tell me the difference between this section 8 and your section 8.

Firstly, you didn't impliment anything, a glitch was discovered where you could post in the Thread id=8 forum, that was called Section 8.  You only implemented it, after you got word that there was an off-site Section 8, which you yourself said knew about from the start.  So it wasn't so much about you implimenting it, but re-opening the glitch, to allow this to happen.  

Back on topic:

The difference?  It's not as easy to just look at someone's post history and join into the group, which, as I've said, can bring posters like leo-j here, completely making the need for having it, irrelevant.

(The difference is you weren´t snooping around our section 8... oh wait, thats right... you where...) 


But seriouly the difference is that in our section 8 we get to chose who our friends are and who suppervises us... we just can´t get that here and it makes a big difference...
