I have just recently noticed the horrible truth that is mentioned in this threads title. It is true, NWR has gone casual. I even have pics to prove it!

Above: Proof of NWR Casualization

Above: Even the most hardcore threads, the ones where we talk smack about eachother and set up matches for some SSB-Brawl feel even more isolated than usual

For the 2+ years I've been a faithful member of these boards, our Gaming Forum (where the core audience congregated), and that was always followed by our Community Forum which housed the hardest of the hardcore forums... THE ~~FUNHOUSE~~ HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPO STRATEGY FORUM!! Only the most elite members with 3000+ post roamed there, scaring away your standard core audience that newly signed up and strayed away from the "OFFICIAL Introduce yourself to the Internet" forum. Now with the picture above, we can see that our hard time long core members have been relegated to the 3rd tier of the Forum Index, just to make way for the more casual readers who visit solely Talk back and enjoy the NWR Staff blogs. Even our beloved Mafia games were taken out of the Funhouse.. how long before they're removed completely from these boards!?

We should have seen this coming though...

Ever since the site changed names and were no longer known as Planet Gamecube (named after the most hardcore system of last gen and the most hardcore of space rocks) and even the change of color scheme (from a Royal Indego that screamed "ELITEST!" to the "Discrete Gray" and "Nonthreatening Blue" we have to put up with now).. we should of known better.

I say we all boycott these boards (cuz those seem to be all the rage right now, and that's what hardcore do.. ctrl+c/ctrl+v) and go pay to be some IGNsiders or something!

Who is with me!?!?

Isn't it a paradox that someone who hates Nintendo/Wii and loves Sony now has dominion over Nintendo fans? I fear for the space time continuum and expect it to shatter soon.

Maybe, ban hammers are like Mewtwo there. They are so rare everyone can have fun in the cesspool.

thanks, though i was hoping i could come up with better writing. To be honest, i didn't notice this until i got home and it confused the hell out of me. I was catching up on threads i'd missed over the weekend and the site layout was fine, then i come home and I couldn't find the freaking funhouse! The only real outrage was seeing that Lindy was made site director AFTER i'd posted this

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 19, 2009, 11:45:33 PM »

So Lindy's been made the captain of an already sinking ship...

Well, its been nice hanging out with you guys. Let's keep in touch!

I really can't follow you to gonintendo. I'm afriad i'll end up going on a killing spree if i do.

I'll join you in the killing spree! We can be BFFs while we let the blood spill!

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #20 on:** January 20, 2009, 12:07:30 AM »

If you want to spill blood at GoNintendo, just respond by telling the most obnoxious person you love them and ask if they want a hug. That will shift the tone so much that they will be jumping off the internets in an attempt to end their confusion.

I believe they prefer to be called Albino

I would think they could give a **** about what they preferred to be called.

To be fair it's pretty impossible to beat a Michael Jackson/Ape Woman comparison sprinkled with a little man on ape action.

d'oh! IE has foiled me again!

:shakes fist:

Anyone else find it on that our resident HARDC0R3 PS3 fanboy has become the site director and yet the change is catered to TEH CAZUALS??

Maybe they are trying to lul us into a false sense of security then when we let our guard down BAM There will be one forum. The HARDCORE Forum.

Yep. In addition to that the forums will turn into HARDCORE speak.

Man i can't wait for the HARDCORE mafia games, where the killer role actually gets sent to your house to beat you to death! awesome.

This is an outrage.

If the forums go non-casual, nemo_83 might get un-banned.

Completely unacceptable.

I want nemo back! Him and rat cracked me up day to day. Besides Nemo's idea for a psychedelic mario is still the best game idea on this forum.

I'm sorry Kashogi Stogi but Helena Bonham Carter is hot hot HOT. Even in a monkey suit. Estella Warren, even with her pouty lips and model looks, had NOTHING on her in that movie.

EasyCure, your desktop is full of fail, sorry. No "lock taskbar", plus no "auto-hide taskbar", plus using IE...it equals epic fail. I'm sorry. I do agree with the thread though, and now I constantly click the TalkBack forum link because it's where General Chat used to be.

Trust me i know my desktop is full of fail. It's one big hand-me-down POS, but it gets the job done... when it doesn't lock up.. or restart on its own... or curropts my files...

eh.. I try and save up for a decent desktop (don't like laptops) but its not that important to me. If i'm not downloading music, I'm just browsing this forum.. which I could do more conveniently from my phone anyways. So the only thing this hunk o' junk has going for it is the hard drive that holds my music on.. but its an external one anyway, so when this finally dies out on me it'll be a happy day since I'll be forced to get something better sooner than later!
