Title: Replacements for Departed Forum Members
Post by: NWR_insanolord on August 28, 2013, 10:29:17 PM
Everybody's favorite NWR forums member TJ Spyke was recently banned for all eternity, and that got me to thinking, who will take up the baton and fulfill his place in these forums?


Now, we definitely don't want the less savory aspects of his character, such as sexism, corporate apologism, or being a fan of The Big Bang Theory, but there are plenty of valuable services he provided that need replacing.


What say you, forum-goers? Who will step up and be the hero we all need?

Pokepal
Oblivion


I think those two are the closest equivalents to TJ in the forums today.

What did I do? I was simply telling him with a source that it was already confirmed. And it only took me five seconds to find, it's not like I spent hours digging through Google to find it.

This is a bit immature, even for the funhouse. If anyone, we should be trying to replace Rab and SUPER.

Someone called you TJ in the 2DS talkback thread.  You can also be confrontational at times.  That's all i'm basing it on.


To be fair, you're the first to respond out of my two choices, so it's like you're volunteering at this point.

As far as I know, SUPER's still controlling half the people on the forums. Also, he's not banned, and could return anytime he wants. But in an effort to be less immature, and to spread out the mockery across a wider group of people, I'll tweak the thread a bit.

Ha, that was me. I thought the condescending tone was TJ-esque. It lacked the usual "Um" or "Actually" though. I was mostly joking.

Not really sure you can replace TJ. Most people who seem that trollish try way too hard, but he was just like that and he really didn't know why he had his reputation which is funny and sad at the same time. It was kind of annoying when I had my first run-in with him (he refused to provide me a link from one of his reputable sources), but once it became clear that was how he was all the time, I would read his posts and just think, "Oh, you." Occasionally, I'd get baited into responding, but that's my fault at that point. Every forum regular knew exactly what they were getting into when responding to him. I felt like it almost became sport to some people. Typically, hilarity ensued.

He was the only forum member who was that volatile and abrasive. There were others who were also volatile and abrasive, but TJ could stop an entire conversation by just being himself and unlike the others, he posted all the time. No one else on NWR comes close to having that effect on discussion. Even Ian with his ridic everything-Nintendo-does-is-wrong-even-when-I-admit-it's-right-why-am-I-on-a-Nintendo-forum posts hold some value (sometimes). If the only positive service TJ offered was posting Wikipedia links, anyone can do that.

Is this somehow better than my "Umm... Hey, TJ" thread?  At least there, I was trying to get TJ to provide some evidence of his statement.  This is just picking on him at this point - and he can't even respond.

Can't we just rest on the fact that he's gone and move on?

Going to go start the "Why is Insanolord still a mod?" topic now...

I don't think anyone is claiming this thread is enter than yours, unless you're pointing to why yours was closed and this one is still open.

I don't think TJ would have responded even if he could, judging by your topic. In any case, this hasn't descended into a burning at the stake. I tried to be civil.

I wish someone would replace Mashiro from way back when. He was pretty funny.
Actually Adrock,
Now you're getting the hang of it.

To be honest, I was the one who locked the other thread... and I have the power to unlock it at my will. :D

My topic wasn't a burning at the stake either - it was an open call for him to respond.  He had the power to end it at any time by responding with relevant data or saying that he made it up.

This thread is just mean.  He's not even here to defend himself if he wanted to.

I wasn't implying yours was mean spirited, just that this topic isn't entirely either (at least not yet). Not everyone who has left has a bad rep.

I mentioned Mashiro. Golden Phoenix doesn't really post anymore, but she contributed to discussions. I don't really see BlackNMild as often as before, but I lurk the General Discussion forum and see him there more than Talkback and Nintendo Console Discussion where I mostly go. I wish Mop It Up posted more. She drops by in spurts, posts in like five threads then disappears for days.

I like discussions, that's why I post here, and anyone who contributes is welcome. I wish it wouldn't descend into negativity so frequently, but I guess that's just the way it goes.

I'm personally fine with a little lighthearted hazing or teasing, as long as it doesn't devolve into outright insults or namecalling.  It was a lot of fun experiencing tendoboy, pokepal, and now lucariofan all going through their onlslaught of terrible posting, and now I see all of them as a fun fixture of the forums.  I hope they all hang around, they add flavor and variety to the forums.

Alright fine. I've kept it quiet but since he's gone whatever. He's my "Why I dislike TJ story" and get it off my chest.

In the Matchmaking forum, I had this lovely thread about trading Metroid Prime 3 Vouchers: https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=27953.0 (https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=27953.0) (So great!)

At that time, a few people stepped up to trade vouchers with me. Maxi, Mop it up and TJ Spyke. I think we did a test and both changed a voucher each to make sure it works and then I sent him another 4 vouchers. He never traded them back to me. Anyways, I found out that you had to beat Hypermode to get the credits needed to unlock everything and put the game off for awhile which turned into years.

When the news came of the WiiConnect service ending, I finally cracked this game open again and saw that he had never sent those vouchers. So I contacted him in a PM and here is the PM history.

Hey TJ,
 
A couple years ago, I sent you some friend vouchers for Metroid Prime 3 as we agreed to trade a few between us. I sent you 4 but I never received any from you in return. With some of the Wii internet service going down, I popped the game in yesterday to see if I needed any vouchers to complete the game and saw that you still had yet to send me those few. Would it be possible for you to send me them?
 
Regards,
-Khushrenada

LOL, I hadnt played the game in quite some time. Sure, this weekend I will fire up my Wii (don't have it with me right now), and send you some.

Message from Khushrenada - TJ Spyke:
Quote
Sounds good. Of course, if I don't see them by Monday, I am going to pester you some more so fair warning.

But yeah. I hadn't felt the need or desire to play MP3 since the first and only tme I played through it a few years back. Playing it again, I'm surprised at what I do remember but how much I'd really forgotten about this game. What I'm most pleasantly surprised is that I thought I'd somehow lost the data because my save file showed no time or any indication I'd beaten the game once although I could select to play in Hypermode and the other unlockables were still unlocked. So, I started a new game thinking I'd have to refind everything only to discover that the game keeps all your scans. So, I don't have to worry about rescanning everything and filling out the logbook. It is already complete. I can just play the game and collect upgrades and that's it. So, now I'm just breezing through it. That is an awesome feature from the previous two games I had no idea existed until just yesterday.
 
Anyways, thanks again.

I think I see the problem, you have my old Wii Friend Code. I got a new Wii awhile ago, the Friend Code is in my profile.

Message from Khushrenada - TJ Spyke:

Ok. I'll check it out. It's odd because it doesn't show your name in gray indicating that it still senses you have a save file for MP3. Decoyman's name in gray on my friend list but yours isn't. That said, I'll check the numbers tonight and if I do have your old one, I'll change it and we'll see what happens.
Message from Khushrenada - TJ Spyke:

Ok. I entered your new Wii code in and your name comes up as grey and says you must register me. In case you need it again, my Wii code is 4268 4250 8282 2299. Which also means that where ever your old Wii is, someone still has me registered on it.

K, I will do it soon. My Wii is at my friends house. Don't worry, Nintendo won't shut down the service til the 27th

So, how close are you to getting this done? Because it has been 2 weeks (and 4 years really) and there are only 2 weeks now left.

I have collected more friend vouchers so I can try and trade with someone else at this point so let me know your plans.

-Khushrenada

He never responded to that last PM. Frustrated, I bumped up my old thread in the Matchmaking forum and fortunately, Mop it up, a true saint of these forums, was able to help me out and did so in a prompt and diligent manner. If I had relied on TJ Spyke, I doubt I'd ever got him and that experience soured me on him. Maybe he did have intentions to swap vouchers with me when I first contacted him but then he did nothing about it, kept making excuses for the delay and finally when I just politely asked him if I should try someone else and gave him an opportunity to get out of helping me, he didn't even have the decency to respond or tell me if he could or couldn't help.

It shows that it didn't matter how you treated him because I never posted anything negative of him or joined in the general bashing and was respectful to him in my messages, the man was just lacking in civility and truly deserved his title of asshole.

On the other hand, just before he got banned, I pointed out a mistake he made in this thread in the Gameplay Strategy section and he actually replied back admitting he made an error. So maybe he was starting to turn a corner. You can see the unbelievable evidence here: https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=42440.0

I'd argue that maybe the Pro666 ban was probably the most recent in major bannings although that was just a temp ban but he never really returned after that. The Mario ban caused quite the kerfuffle in the day and animecyberrat was a bit high profile. But that's about all I can think of in the major categroy if you are looking for long-term bans. In short term bans, the FREE SUPER campaign was probably the most recent and talked about banning issue.

On a different note, if I campaign for TJ Spyke, can I get my title changed to NWR Forums Patron Saint? Or better yet, can I get that title without having to campaing for TJ Spyke? I didn't realize I was so revered.

well i found our next contestant in the Tj Spyke contest
So having a moral compass and doing good is now equal to being bad? That makes no sense. And I am not talking about tributes, although using that as proof is not valid because when corporate broadcasters do those things they do get permission first, but when some chump on Youtube does it they should just get a free pass?


It does cause harm how do you not see that? There are actors who are starving because they can't get paying gigs because piracy is out of control and Youtube is changing the entire industry so people are getting used to having to work for little to no pay and that is a good thing? You mean to tell me that you think that just because someone made something that YOU like it gives you the right to make money off it because it is a tribute? If you want to show them love buy their **** and pay them for their work. How hard is that? Do you also support sneaking into ballgames, movie theaters, and airplanes? Do you not realize that when big corporations lose money they downsize and they downsize by LAYING PEOPLE OFF, good hard working people who lose their jobs because of this ****. Holy crap anyone who thinks that is GOOD is out of their damn mind.

If you ever worked in the entertainment business you would know how much this **** is destroying our economy. Our nations number one export is entertainment, and if that starts to fall we are in deep **** because we don't have anything to replace it since we lost our edge in manufacturing. I should have said if you ever worked period because in my experience the people who tend to support any form of infringment or piracy are usually bums anyways.

I just googled TJ Spyke and it turns out he's a member of at least ten different wiki's. Why am I not surprised?

then how about a change of title something like "The guy you like to hate" or something less obvious?

I hate Wikipedia if that tells you anything.

The more you want me to change your title, the less likely I am to do it. That's just the way I roll. But UncleBob's got a thread going if you want to get rid of the one you have.

the custom titles really should be taken with more then a grain of salt. anyone who thinks i'm the worst poster ever should look at the comments on a youtube video.

I don't know. At least a lot of the YouTube comments make sense.

He was the RAT.

I don't know how this fits into the equation but I realized something today, Playstation is in a far better position by default.

Playstations first generation on the market out sold Nintendo's first generation on the market, their second generation on the market outsold Nintendo's second gen and same with their third gen. It is no stretch of the imagination to expect their fourth generation on the market to be better than Nintendo's fourth so I got to thinking, in roughly two years Playstation as a brand will be 20 years old, Sony could easily capitialize on not only that milestone but all the nostalgia that have built up and wipe out the competition easily.


Think about it, all those millions of PS1, PS2 gamers who grew up on Playstation have the same fond memories of Ratchet and Clank, Crash, FF7, etc, as we do Mario, Zelda, DK, etc. Every gen Nintendo's core market shrinks and then when you take into account the Playstation will also be 20 years old imagine what type of campaign Sony will pull out to get warm fuzzy feelings out of their gamers. Nintendo did it heavily with Wii, relying on Virtual Console classics to get people all nostalgic for their system while they waited, and waited, for the games that never came. Now Nintendo has lost their mind, their marketshare, and a large portion of their supporters are now backing away I realized something, I was still pretty young when Playstation came out too. I was only 13 or so when it launched so it reaches back to my childhood also or damn near it.

And as I was playing some PSOne classics today on the PS3 I realized that I have almost as many nostalgic memories of Playsation games as I do Nintendo and I am thinking if sales numbers and current internet attitudes are any indicator I am thinking Nintendo's troubles are far deeper than they can ever hope to fix. I am going to let this be my last post as I need to once again leave this place before I bring up too many of my old bad habits.


For those who were in the dark, I was animecyberrat, oh and segagamer12 in case you didn't knnow that also. I am now of the mind that this place is never going to be welcoming for me.

So long and good riddance I say. Whichever mod has the power to ban please do me the honors of making sure I never return to this cesspool to have to straighten out those hopeless fools who continue to put their faith in a return to glory that will never come, Nintendo is not going to be the next Sega, they are going to be the next Atari and I am now more convinced of that than ever before.


TJ Spyke only wishes he could have caused as much trouble as I have so with that I leave you with these words,



YOU can call me THE RAT thank you very much.





PS Nintendo can go **** themselves.

I did not enjoy those days.  Though ironically I don't have much more time then I did then now.

but without pokepal and lucariofan, there'd be practically no posts on the boards at all!  :D
Also, I don't want you to leave, Oblivion (for whatever that's worth (nothing).

What did I do? I was simply telling him with a source that it was already confirmed. And it only took me five seconds to find, it's not like I spent hours digging through Google to find it.


Someone called you TJ in the 2DS talkback thread.  You can also be confrontational at times.  That's all i'm basing it on.


To be fair, you're the first to respond out of my two choices, so it's like you're volunteering at this point.
Nice job, little man, you called me TJ. How cute. <3
So 3 strikes your out is that how it works ;)

Ehh, TJ was actually belligerent almost all the time. Oblivion is mostly just loud and occasionally belligerent.

And while Oblivion's "I was correcting your wrong assumption" line was TJ-esque (especially since it wasn't even an assumption), I wasn't really calling him TJ that time. I said his post was brought to the forums by letter T which was Sesame Street reference to lighten the mood. Did no one get that? What the hell did you do with your childhood?

Oh ha ha ha, I never watched a lot of Sesame Street back when I was really young. I was more of a Teletubbies and Blue's Clues kind of guy.

That makes me feel old.  Teletubbies started when I was in Middle School.  My sister and brother liked them (High School and Elementary respectively).  Blue Clues more after my time.
