Just so things are clear, how much does this site cost to run, exactly. People toss around the "TOUPS IS FOOTING THE BILL, SO SHUT UP" stuff, but let's cut the bullshit. Astound me with the operating cost of this site.
I doubt it's so much that everyone couldn't chip in a few bucks and end the tinpot dictator justification for everything.

To clarify, it's not you that I'm upset with, it's the people that say "it's Toup's site/forum/money/whatever so go someplace else if you don't like it"
Which isn't to say that I don't appreciate the money that you spend on the site, but it's also not some cross to bear. I know I would be willing to chip in for the upkeep of the site, anway.

I have the occasional disagreement about the way Toups does some things, but nothing worth actually writing about. I like the way things are done here. a lot. It's just that when people pull out the love it or leave it argument for a site that costs 50 bucks a year, come on. The community could easily be supported by donations from members, so it's not like Toups is spending his food money for axe threads.
But, I like the way things are going. Better than insert credit, anyway.

trolling in the feedback thread

sorry but saying this place isn't "serious" enough and is too "gamery" coming from someone that did post furry porn doesn't jive. Let's talk about monochrome gameboy games being lonely some more.

What? As far as I know, his (hypothetical) sexual kinks have had zero influence on his participation in discussions on these boards. Why do you obsess about them? |
they do if you go and post about them on insert credit real bout

Why do you even post here if you're so cynical about the way some things end up being discussed here? Because, pretentious as they may be, these type of ideas eventually will lead to more interesting thoughts being expressed than in any other threads. Leave shit be if you don't have anything of value to say.

I don't have a problem with people discussing pretentious videogame reflections, but saying that the smug rambling that IC became notorious for is better than the more "gamer" oriented discussion is bullshit.

I don't think anyone's said that. |

The schism between the initial draw of most people -- the intelligent, analytical discussion -- and the later, steadily rising derision of that same mode of discussion -- is interesting. The shift would also describe much of my frustration with that community. |
I personally don't have a problem with the classic insert credit ideas, but after a certain point, it seemed like people were running on fumes and writing about things that weren't there. Then there was the general feeling that there was a consensus that insert credit was "better" than other sites and discussions on the internet, but for every real insight there were how many mediocre posts? I guess what I'm saying is the halcyon days weren't sustainable. You can't force great ideas.
Before we just write off SB as some insert credit-lite, take a look around. There are some very nice, thoughtful threads that would have been right at home on insert credit. The Yoot Tower thread comes to mind. I think this iteration of the forums is more realistic. Grandiose reflections aren't the norm, but they're more than welcome.

also, slipstream, if you don't see something wrong with harassing someone for their legal, healthy, consensual, non-harmful sexual tastes, then you should probably re-evaluate your views on those sorts of things. there's a difference between "furries are weird lol" and "your opinion is invalid because you are a furry." it's pretty much pure bigotry and a man who fancies himself as a progressive thinker shouldn't have any room for it in his worldview.
|
to clarify it wasn't that he is down with furry stuff (if he is?) it was more that he posted it a couple times in the hallowed ic games forum. Which isn't a big deal, but it's silly to then say that things should be more serious like ic. I remember the forums having a lot of funny offtopic stuff like that before Axe. That's all.
