I don't know what that was about, but its damn funny. *reads it again*

O now I get it... It was sarcasm at the end? RIght? Am I right? *falls over, cracking skull open on a jagged rock conviniently placed behind him*

Firstly I just want to tell people that I have been going through some very personal problems over the past week, therefore I have not been able to view the forums too much, and if so I've only been able to have a quick glance at things. As for Justin, I believe he is very busy at the moment, so I'm not sure what his plans for coming onto the forums will include.

Anyway, these aside, I come back and I find the forums in an uproar again. Well maybe not so much now, because it seems that some of these things have been sorted out (in particular the accusations of moderators that I've read).

If anyone has any problems with the current administration and moderators, please send me a PM. This way you don't have to go around accusing everyone in public and we can deal with it accordingly.

I also had no idea that anyone's editing privllages had been removed. I'll look into that and rectify shortly, as editing of posts should be encouraged, not denied.

Finally, in regards to the swearing issue, I'm not really one to swear much myself, but realize that it can be commonly used by people today. I would only consider the "F" word to be censored, and everything else would be fine in proper context. I would have a problem if someone was excessively swearing in their posts (i.e. every few words or for no reason) or if they were using swear words to abuse other members. In which cases we would need to take action (warnings/banning/etc).

Finally, these topics actually belong over in the Suggestions and feedback forums. So if you are looking for any of them, you will find them there.

Regards,
Abe Babe...

Guys... this is just a website. Just a video game forum.

I have a quote for you all from someone I talked to:

"You people take the forums to seriously." -ALF of OWI


He was right.

Khanzumer, don't spoil our fun. We were only having a laugh...

Disgruntled Intern 09-24-2002 10:12 PM

Khanz is just a weiner. Ignore him.

He seems to think that his 'holier than thou' attitude is charming.


oh, and I'm very impressed that you talked to 'alf'. I'd just like to point something out, 'kay?


you said:

...

I agree.

you then went on to brag about the fact that you 'talked' to 'alf'.

Guess what? He's a god damned fictional character! the alf you were 'talking' to is probably some middle aged, balding old man.

Get over yourself, weiner.

Alcar 09-24-2002 10:16 PM

Actually I think the current Alf, is a person named [insert name here]. Before her, im sure it was [insert another name here].

Alcar...


Edit: Sorry Peter, I hate to censor, but no naming of actual behind the scenes OWI inhabitants on these forums. I've had to edit your post out of respect for those who work there (I know that they would not wish to have their real names given out here). ~ Abe Babe

TheKhanzumer 09-24-2002 10:31 PM

weiner?
 
I'm sorry that I've come off as a weiner lately. I wasn't bragging about talking to Alf (if I knew his/her real name I would use it but since I don't I will just use the fictitious alias). I just thought he had a very good point. Everyone takes the forums to seriously. I am incredibly tired of all of the finger pointing and complaining. If I truely am the only one bothered I will stop entering these discussions. But if I am not the only person who finds these arguments incredibly annoying then I hope that you will find some thoughtfulness in your heart and stop.

And go ahead and hold me to my promise. If everyone else enjoys these cat fights I'll not spoil your fun anymore.

I wonder who took it upon themselves to remove my editing privileges then, as well as those of others who patron TGA. *cough*Peter*cough*

Also, speaking of Alf, isn't it strange that he hasn't appeared at OWF recently.

TheKhanzumer 09-24-2002 10:36 PM

Alf is gone
 
I don't think its strange. He/she probably has better things to do.

Disgruntled Intern 09-24-2002 10:46 PM

yes, like plot the second wave of the destruction process of the forums!

or eat babies.

....weiner.

Alcar 09-25-2002 01:34 AM

Actually Alf, recently posted, a few days ago or so. Simply do a post search on him to see.

Jacob 09-25-2002 06:37 PM

Alf ate my baby. She was called 'Starlight'...

He who hurts another hurts himself.

After all, there is nothing that who gets at all. There is only dislike, displeasure, and distrust.

I don't see the relevance. Nobody's hurting anyone else here, are they?

BTW, why is your custum title "JPN-OWF Friendship Contractor"? What does that mean?

TheKhanzumer 09-26-2002 09:16 PM

hurtin'
 
That is the bad part. People seem to enjoy the arguements. What is so fun about finger pointing, back stabbing and complaining? If you have a problem, notify the mod's via PM becuase for the sakes of at least three people (Atusi, his father and myself) if there aren't any more.



P.S. How do you like my sig DI?

Majic 09-26-2002 09:29 PM

My god Khanz, I think thats brilliant. I started laughing when I saw that;)

Jacob 09-26-2002 10:20 PM

Yeh, what does that Friendship Contractor thing mean?

And Khanz, i really cant get why you like arguments. My psychologistic side believes tis cos u witness loved/closed ones argue and then sumat dramatic happened and thus u hate arguing.

I love it...for all of the reasons above.

Actually, has anyone wondered why they turned out like they did...i constantly wonder.

TheKhanzumer 09-26-2002 10:27 PM

fightin'
 
I'm not sure why it annoys me so much Jacob. I just don't think that this is the right place to do it. I joined the forums because of my interest in oddworld, not to read a bunch of bickering.


And I think atusiya@'s status just means that he is the "top" Japanese fan of oddworld.

This of what I should say is all.
I do not contribute the post concerning this from now on, and it does not respond to questions and answers, either.

and
As for us, it is weak to speak English.
We contributed a few threads on three points in these six months. (These are the themes as which we have responsibility and can answer.)

1) The thread about Japan and Oddworld.
2) The thread about Japanese culture.
3) The thread about me and a family.

If we could contribute the thread in Japanese, we should have contributed many threads which are helpful to everybody.
However, ...it is impossible.
In Japan, we do not know well whether we are the top's fan, and do not become precocious. However, it is an infallible fact that we like oddworld. In this forum, if there is no request of the information about JPN, this CT will withdraw me. It is merely only it. I do not adhere to CT.:) that's is all

Well, there's the problem, isn't it? We can't use PM, because they disabled it for us...

Look, stop taking this so seriously, okay? Nobody's hurting anyone else, and I haven't even posted outside of these two topics, so it's not like the argument is hard to avoid if (for some reason) you find it upsetting...

But anyway, I'll leave you be now. My work here is done, and there's no reason for me to be here any more.

Have fun.

TheKhanzumer 09-27-2002 09:00 PM

Well, your point was made. Thank you for not continuing on.


And the PM point is very valid, if I had thought of that I would not have given everyone such a hard time.

Alcar 09-27-2002 10:12 PM

Last I saw you could use PMs (directed at Danny).
