Hobo, your post is like smacking a hysterical bitch to get her to calm down. I think it'll either work magnificently, or backfire. Either way, you still got it across. We have to stop this before it turns into a flame war.
Anyways, I'll just start typing, before I go off crying into a corner because Icono
totally shot down all of our arguments categorically and completely.
Again, like Snuzi and Skillya have been saying, don't bash someone for being here for only a year when you've been here less than a week. You will quickly get bad publicity, and people will not listen to you.
Now, I understand how tempting it is to join a forum and instantly assume you know what could make this place better. I've done it myself multiple times on different forums, and each resulted in either a ban and/or a falling out with many of my friends on said foums.
Just build up your credibility, and then post something like this. Again, however, I think you were pretty ballsy to open this can of worms, whether you didn't or did know this would happen.
Second, if you want to make your point get across, don't type it like you're doing this in your school's computer lab between classes. It'll make it easier to read, and people will take it more seriously.
Third, don't insult members who can post a coherent thought and have been here longer than you. They know what is going on here. You don't.
Examples:

Snuzi- You miserable bastard. You should be exiled from our midst. All you do is take my posts, mutilate them and snip out bits to use against me. Why? Are you more concerne with fighting ME or upholding oddworld? Anyway, you don't deserve an adress...your idiocy is plainly seen from the clear dispairty between what I'm saying and what your attacks on me say.

Munch's Master- what you propose is doing abslutely nothing. We already have a forum for non odd games. Clearly it doesn't do shit. My proposal on the other hand makes a bit more sense.

used- the truth is...I'm your...mother...I've spoken enough to you damnit

Probably the most insulting of all:

I think that's it...if i missed anyone, I'm sorry...but then again you probably weren't worth adressing anyway...

Another thing that bothers me about you is how you basically hate anyone who dosen't see it the way you do, but think anyone who does is great.
So, you're using the 'anyone who doesn't see it with me is against me' way of thought.
Icono, think about it. The world would be really f***ing boring is people all agreed with each other. You are never, in your entire life, meet someone who thinks like you do in every single way.
And if you want to start your own forum on artistic game, be my guest and go do it. Just don't expect to instantly get a flood of members. It dsen't work that way, unless you make commercial, ads, or maybe even tattoing someone's forhead with your website adress.
You'll have to do it with hard work, not just come on here, and expect to convince everyone to make it the way you want, then get modship for making it. God forbid if it ever happens that easily.
What the hell do I know, anyway? I'm just going to go back to playing KH2 and waiting for a reply.
