For someone who doesn't care about my opinion, you sure seem to care about my opinion. :dunno |

This forum is getting pretty dead. --- Quote from: leapinlew on December 28, 2016, 10:44:03 am --- --- Quote from: Mike A on December 28, 2016, 07:19:15 am ---Nothing good comes out of the mutual admiration society. If I think something is bad I am going to express that. If people can't put on their big boy pants and handle criticism, the internet is not the place for them. A few negative comments about an arcade cabinet are nothing compared to the vile garbage posted elsewhere on the internet. --- End quote --- It's the ridicule and mocking in the Project Announcements forum that's a dick move. I never said anything about the other forums. Why would you, or anyone, even take the time to criticize someone who's actually built something? There was a time a bunch of n00bs, who never even built their first arcade was on here forcing their advice on everyone. Yeah, that was fun. And I'm not saying we should heap praise on every project in project announcement, but why would anyone post a criticism after the cabinet is built or when the OP is dead set on an idea? Everyone has opinions. I don't like admin buttons, keyboard drawers, or frankenpanels, but I'm not in everyones threads telling them how to build there cabs. I know this but it sounds like some of you are new to this: no one really cares too much about your opinion. If they ask for advice in their project announcement, fine. If they are making what you consider to be a universally understood bad mistake - a friendly suggestion is fine. Ridicule and shaming - not good. --- End quote --- Well said Lew. :cheers: |

Ya know ime pretty new here and dont see a problem with the way things are. Every forum has its "characters" its what makes them unique. Older members will remember times maybe better or worse than now. But after moderating another forum for longer than I care to remember I learned forums change much like any of community. Its the members that make it what it is and without those core members you have nothing. Many people have opinions on many things thats what makes us unique and forums interesting. I honestly never got the whole angled joystick thing. I mean if I am stood against a flat edge I expect to push the stick forward for up. Up and left to match the direction of the screen is illogical to me. |

At this point, nobody 30 or below ever spent any time in arcades growing up, and everyone can easily emulate this crap on their phone. Give it another 10 years when some of you start croaking from heart attacks and it'll get even slower around here. |
