Title: Complaint about definition of "Main Forum"
Post by: OneGig on July 15, 2001, 08:26:19 PM
We should be allowed to discuss games for any system in the Main Forum, not just PS2. Of course, if there\'s a comparison of systems involved, then it goes in Console Debating, but otherwise we shouldn\'t have to go to Off Topic.

I mean, if someone is giving a review of Paper Mario, they should be allowed to do that in the Main Forum. If someone is comparing Paper Mario to Final Fantasy IX, then that might also be in the Main Forum. But if someone is comparing the abilities of the N64 vs. the PS2 to have good RPGs (I know I worded that incorrectly), then that goes in Console Debating. I say this because the N64CC Forums allow you to discuss any system in the Main Forum.

Jeez dood, it\'s like being a guest in someone\'s house man, they do things their way. If ALL games were discussed in the Main forum, it would be way too cluttered.

No. Off Topic = not video-game related, Main Forum = all consoles. That\'s what N64CC does, and it doesn\'t matter what the rest of the site is about. If you had read the thread more closely, you would have seen one person agree with me.

Which is exactly why mm used to be an adm there. ;)

OneGig, your forgetting a very critical point- this IS NOT N64CC, this is PSX2Central. We don\'t go by the same rules as there place, hence, why we don\'t discuss other consoles in the main forum. Don\'t be so pessimistic about changing.

If you want to talk about other consoles, then do it here; off-topic. Everyone is immuned to this now, this is where we discuss other consoles and usually a lot of people are involved in the discussions. :)

Also, I was going to post a new topic myself before I saw this. :)

AHEM. There sure is, just click this bad boy. We\'d always welcome a new guy or two (http://www.tendocity.net/cgi-bin/ubb2/Ultimate.cgi)

I have the same rules regarding other consoles, but since the main forum is Nintendo, I think you\'ll be okay:)

I\'m just going to address a few things.

1) Main forum is a PS2 only forum
2) Off topic is NOT for console debating
3) We have a forum for talk about GC, Xbox and DC. It\'s called (insert drum roll here) console debating.

BTW, there are lots of Xbox forums. Try http://www.msxbox.com or http://www.xboxaddict.com. I\'m sure the same is true for GC and DC forums.

Ohh i\'m sorry Onegig.. Is this N64cc.. I didn\'t notice... Ohh wait. It\'s not. mm, Bjorn and myself make the rules here. They are different from N64cc forums.

This is a PS2 SITE. The main forum is for PS2 ONLY topics

No. Off Topic = not video-game related, Main Forum = all consoles. That\'s what N64CC does, and it doesn\'t matter what the rest of the site is about. If you had read the thread more closely, you would have seen one person agree with me.


no.. Off topic = all consoles, non game related etc.
main = ps2 only.

do u have trouble understanding this?

Post by: ho3j on July 16, 2001, 08:34:45 AM
Your points would make more sense OneGig if this were a multi-console site.  Of course, the *main* focus of this site is the PS2.  Since people come to this site to learn and talk about the PS2 it only makes sense that this the main forum would focus on the PS2.

If someone is giving a review of Paper Mario they should:

A: Post it to a multi-console board

or

B: Post it to the console debate board.

Anything else would blur the focus of this site and its message boards.

Good job Souly, you go girl.......or something.

Look Mr. OneGig,
Q: What is PSX2 Central? A: A PS2 website
Q: Who do these forums belong to? A: PSX2 Central
Q: What is the Main Forum A: On Topic with the rest of the site
Q: What is the site\'s Topic A: PlayStation 2

Get it? So Main Forum = PS2 Forum. As in PS2 only.
Off-topic is for off topic stuff (as the name implies) and Console Debating is for........console debating, as well as other console news.
This is not N64CC, this is PSX2 Central. Therefore N64CC\'s rules don\'t apply here.

Have a nice day :)

I believe Gig here has gotten the point already.

So every repetitive reply is pointless.

If an admin can\'t smash the truth down one\'s throat, then nobody can. Admins are the authority, admins are the power, admins make the rules.

Rules should be respected.

attack and counter-attack. you get what you want.

Replace "PSX2" with "N64". That argument would be wrong for N64 Code Center in terms of their rules. If you can\'t make the Main and O.T. more like those on N64CC, then divide O.T. into "Consoles other than PS2" and "Not video-game related". I fully understand your point, but this just bugs me that some of the admins are the same between the sites but the rules aren\'t.

It\'s a different site, like you said. Some people here are at places other than N64cc, and the rules are different there. The rules at the IGN boards are different than here, MsXbox\'s rules are different. They are different to suit the needs of different people. It\'s all about finding the place that is right for you. This place is obviuosly right for a lot of people, so there\'s something good about it. Maybe this isn\'t the place for you, but I think you should try it for a while before you decide it isn\'t

There is a place here to talk about everything from Nintendo to Sega from beer to women, from Xbox to Sony and Firefly\'s to SmallLady. All you want is different forum names, which is something you should easily be able to look past.

How many times do I have to say this?!? The N64CC Forums were hacked and are not currently functional! I don\'t care if I get banned ... really quick. Well, actually I do, but I just mean that you can\'t expect me to follow the rules perfectly right away.

Post by: Aaron on July 16, 2001, 05:03:11 PM
Why are you talking about banning? You haven\'t done anything to get banned.

And you seem to be following the rules, there\'s no rules against making suggestions, but many people feel that you are insulting them and the forums by your ideas.

You are expected to follow the rules that are posted in the main forum regardless of how you feel so keep that in mind.

I didn\'t think this was too complicated. This is a PS2 site, therefor the MAIN FORUM is for PS2 news / discussions.  If you wish to discuss other console news and so on, take it to Console Debating.
How complicated can that be?
Sheesh.

This is a PS2 site.
This IS a different site.
This site has had it\'s rules the way they are for along time.
You don\'t like the rules, P#$s off..

You don\'t follow the rules.. Prepare to get a banned..

OneGig: Hey,make this forum more like n64cc.

Soulgrind: NO,why should we.

OneGig: Because the n64cc forums were hacked,I came here make this place more like n64cc.

Soulgrind: This isn\'t n64cc,this is psx2central.You\'ll have to get used to that,the rules here are different.

OneGig: But the rules here aren\'t like they were on n64cc,here I can only talk about the PS.2 in the Main Forum for some reason.You should change it so it\'s more like n64cc.

Soulgrind: What\'s your problem,this is a PS.2 site,we talk PS.2 here.

OneGig: But the n64cc forums were hacked,this place is different....the rules aren\'t the same.

Soulgrind: That\'s not my problem,live with it.

I could continue this for a long time.
