Actually, I'm with John here, and I appreciate his support, and the silent support from many others I receive via PM.

Malenko's negative comments are a cancer on these forums and partly why I, (and many others) chose not to contribute these days.

Really not sure why the guy has to be such an ---uvula--- to me. Frankly, I don't care either way. People PM me and point it out all the time too, but i just laugh it off. I just see a petty child spreading malcontent, ruining conversations and threads for other people and choose to give him zero thought at most times.  Some punk kid on a keyboard.

Case in point, I comment on something or make a thread and he HAS to be there to voice something negative. Malenko, If you see "ChanceKJ" pop up someplace on BYOAC just leave it be, walk away. Be negative someplace else. We'll all be better for it.  ...Or don't. But i won't play along, i'll simply just go someplace else. Do you think that this makes me want to share content on BYOAC like my build threads, or come to places like ZapCon if i know you're there? I'm not going to waste my money to be in the presence of that kind of negativity. I don't keep those kind of people in my life on a personal basis, and I'm sure as hell not going to spend money on a rental car/hotel/flight to be around it in person.

The sad fact is that Malenko's negativity detracts and withdrawals those who want to add to this community, regardless of what other good content he provides. It kills progress, it kills the community, and it turns this into places like Reddit. And for that I wish he'd leave.

Malenko, If you have an opinion on something great, voice it. But if you're just out to be a dick and attack everything someone does you need a new hobby. And if you feel YOU don't need a one hour video on FedEx boxes and that this isn't "a thing", maybe stop to think that (at present count) there are 514 other people who have chosen to see it the other way and subscribe.

Lets go in order point by point:

You're with John? So you find it acceptable to go into project threads and advocate burning cabs and throw hissy fits?

I think this is projection more than fact. Click my name, look at my recent posts and you tell me how many of them are full of vitriol. Now click yours and see how many are just posts about your youtube channel.

All I've posted about lately concerning you is your spamming of the boards, if your delicate feelings are hurt I'll try to be nicer about it but I'll still suggest it every time you spam. Which is pretty much 90% of your posts now.

Ahhh your case in point, every time you post I reply with some sort of attack on you eh? That's what you're going to go with? Just look at us going back at forth at it in the Zelda project thread:

Its a fallacy to think I'm not going to not post in a thread just because you posted before me. However I am sort of flattered you're using me as a cop out to not go to Zapcon. Huge building with hundreds of people there with hundreds of games and pins to play, and you're under the impression I'd fly across the country to irk you instead of hanging out with people who aren't self centered and have a good time.

I dont know of a single person who quit because of me. Closest thing you'll find is when Howard said I was the straw that broke the camel's back but ended up returning, so that's still a push at zero. Remember all those people who didn't want to be on the UCA board when they found out I was going to be on it? Wait no, that was you, remember? The UCA's you cheated at to win one? Yeah those UCAs more than 1 person didnt want to have to deal with you, but I'm the cancer.

Sort of contradictory to say I should leave the boards then in the next breath tell me to voice my opinion, isn't it (all while complaining I'm voicing my opinion)?
 514 subscribers you say? Why does the latest video only have 214 views , and 8 thumbs up? Your Metallica pinvid doesn't even have 300 views. I know if I ever start a youtube channel (dont worry I wont) I'll definitely want subscribers who dont actually watch the videos.

Anyway I digress, enough free bumps from old cancer stick Malenko, please find another scape goat for spamming, and not posting project threads, and not going to Zapcon, etc.


Side note: Insulting someone by implying they act like a child, then calling them a punk kid...................... you sure you aren't X2?

I think the animosity started when Chance decided to blast fellow BYOAC members for not agreeing with his design choices over on Instagram. That and threatening to go to the mods about it. Kind of a ---smurfette--- move. Then there was that passive-agressive rant he posted a while ago about how we should be posting, as if everyone is supposed to agree with every choice a BYOAC member makes for their projects. Him and Johnrt just want to give out handies whether or not those projects were good/well constructed or not. It's fallacious, and doesnt help the progress of our hobby if truths no matter harsh isn't stated. Personally I would prefer someone telling me I'm doing it wrong, especially if it comes from the more established experienced members.

Chance, I remember when you were a new member needing help. If I would've known you were going to turn into the dbag you appear to be today, I would have never helped you out. Creating "tutorials" as if they were your own instead of just linking to tutorials that already existed was where you lost me. Don't forget where you started out, you ain't ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

ZapCon is a lovefest. If you guys remember my posts, I don't allow any beefs to fester there. ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, Malenko and DeLuSioNaL29 were taking selfies together there. Everybody is welcome with open arms and should feel a certain level of Brotherhood there. Except for Kaneda, ---fudgesicle--- that guy.

Personally, I find it distasteful that members are telling other members they need to quit. You don't get to make that decision.

This doesn't really surprise me that beefs are put by the wayside face-to-face.  People seem to be more civil in person than behind a keyboard.  Plus a life-strategy of being a dick and then telling people who don't like it they are thin-skinned doesn't seem like it would play well in real life.

Enh, I think some of the members here who I've met at ZapCon have no problem being genuine and telling someone what they think of them to their face. The fact is, we're there for a specific purpose, coming together due to a love of gaming and BYOAC.

Thinks of something useful to contribute to the thread...

Edit: to be fair, chucking all vids in one thread means if you're scanning you might not realise there's something you're interested in. Life's too short to be stressing out about this of all things.
