Heh, my first post was
Quote
I hope Nintendo won't try to appeal to the masses. Appealing to the masses means unneeded functionality, cool graphics and mature content. And of course countless rehashes of the same game over and over again. Gameplay isn't enough to attract a person who has never read a review. The masses are dumb, don't expect rational behaviour. How do you think EA hold their position? Innovative gameplay?

And hey, they managed to appeal to the masses without doing any of that. They even figured out how to attract people with gameplay.

I still read NWR on a daily basis for my fix of news and such; it's one of my bookmarks!

One thing I learned since starting my first steps internet forum posting was to not take things so seriously. PGC, back on ezboard, was my first forum, and I daresay we were the life of things here.

Over the years, things got a little more awkward than they should have around here (trolls, a hell of a lot less people, etc). Also, my own attitudes toward things changed, as they do in life, and I stopped posting regularly probably well over a year or two ago.

It was interesting listening to the drama happening on the forums here from Bill, Mario et al on MSN, and when it comes to these things, I trusted their opinion that something really did happen to these forums to make them so cynical and hostile. And several times have they made mention of Ian, amongst other posters.

It may be a change in the attitudes of posters, it may be the staff, it may be because of Nintendo's success in the casual rather than hardcore market, whatever.
The staff have a problem on their hands, and several senior members of the community are voicing their opinions about it.

It's time to get your hands dirty and get even more involved in order to fix this!

If this was a guess the next poster thread, Id be guessing either Grey Ninja or mouseclicker. Mario tells me mouse_clicker has already posted in the thread. This is what I get for not caring anymore I guess.
I'm willing to bet that Ty still has mod powers... ;)

My first posts were hazy, and mainly involved antagonizing Rick. PGC wasn't my first forum, though, oh no. I cut my teeth over at IGN and migrated over when they told me to pay. Worthless bastards.

And damn, we really do have an outright reunion going here. Maybe I should tell manunited and Berny to join in.

So mouse told me that we're having some kind of reunion. Well I say BAH! Rick Powers would have none of this sort of nonsense, bannable offense for all! Why are you rabble not posting serious information and quivering?! In my day we either got a thread dedicated for our arguing with everyone (Mouse) or we just argued with everyone regardless of the topic and continued to ramble angrily way past any point of decent punctuation and we liked it even when we didn't so ha!

I think the first post I made here either concerned Virtua Soccer for the Gamecube or trying to figure out if this was in fact the forum I had previously been going to, which may or may not have been planet n2000. Never quite figured out if I was in the right place or not.

Hm, I was reading over Pale's quotes of some posts that led to Mario being banned, and boy did I get off light in my day! I wasn't quite so obvious, but I was a much bigger dick to everyone on this forum.

Yeah but were your warned multiple times? That is key there, it was more showing disrespect to the moderators then what he said.

So, as soon as Bill leaves, we have a bunch of the classic posters start posting again. Mouse_clicker, PIAC, Termin8Anakin, myself. It looks like Bill was the one holding these forums back. Frankly, I think this is great. It's a golden age for the forums. One that will never end.

It just shows how significant Bill was.

KDR, Pro, Bill... some users have just been active so long and so often that they define the forums. Bill was one of those, and it's sad to see him go.

Bill's a good man. I guess I've had his quote in my signature for the better part of a decade now.

I have yet to conjure up Grey Ninja, I must be low on mana.

I would MSN him but I think by now he may have fully lost his mind.  Last time I talked to him he lived on 100% Ramen and slept with a sword underneath his bed.  He has a Nintendo tattoo on his arm.  He likes hentai better than regular porn.

That man scares me.
