Ha! You don't make a big deal out of it being their opinions when they agree with you, do you?  (2)
I was shit-scared of Ronald McDonald when I was younger, and I still am... (3)
The point Chris was making is that "Fart Breath" is a very childish joke, and therefore will only be considered funny by children and childish adults... Still, I'm sure we can all see the "fun" in making a little computer sprite say "fart breath"... Ha ha ha, Wheee! (4)
Why do you make out that anybody else's opinions can simply be dismissed because they are Opinions, whereas you seem to believe that your own opinions are some kind of Noble Truth that can be used to refute any arguments made by anyone else?(5)
See?(6)
No, it isn't. It's childish humour. "All-round humour" would be something that appeals to all kinds of people. "Fart breath" only appeals to children. And you, apparently.(7)
We don't want it targeted at a Teen Audience, because then we'd just have Dawson's Creek in a computer game... (Oh, the horror...) What we want is a return to the original games, which weren't targeted at any particular age group, but appealed to children, adolescents, and adults (as can be observed by noting the wide variety of ages on the forums).(8)
Look, if you want proof that MO is targeting a much narrower (and younger) age group than the first two, just look at us. When the forums were first founded, we got members coming in from a wide variety of age groups. Many of them are still here today.(9)
But look at the people who have joined since MO, and you will see that the vast majority of newbies are now young children. This is living proof of OWI's change in target audience. What more do you want?(10)

1. To proper something is just like saying to fix something. Supposable is deffinately a word, look them up in a dictionary.
2. If you read my posts properly you'll find that I am trying to
proper some
supposable problems people have with MO. He didn't have a problem, therefore all I could do was say saomething like what I did.
3. I was using him as an example, maybe some people did find him scary when they were young. I'd think that most found him funny or 'enjoyable' at a very younger age.
4. Well i'm a bit confused, first you say you find it childish for a creature known as a Slig to call you "Fart breath" but then you go and say that it's funny if a sprite does it, that just sounds like your letting others opinions get to you and make you want to dislike something that isn't all that bad.
5. I haven't dismissed anyone's opinions, i've tried exceptionally hard to not do much with opinions. What i've done is counter some problems people have had with the game. You don't have to believe me in what i've said, afterall Danny, i'm just a childish adult, or should it be: fun loving adult? :P
6. See above on the last two sentences.
7. It appeals to a lot of people, its the non-ignorant majority of people who knew what should have been in the game who are now against it. I'd say that the people who are ignorant and bought MO and loved it are far better off. And anyway, MO has sold a lot of copies of the game. Must mean people like it?
8. How isn't MO at the moment targeted at all ages, if I remember correctly we had someone sign up from Germany who was of the age of 40 something.
9. See above, and we still have a wide variety of members.
10. Most of them are in their early teens.

1. When i first posted about Ronald McDonald, I was implying that he was targeted at children. I never said it was targeted at Adults or teens.
2. They sure do target the games at all ages.
