Title: Everyone who is unhappy with the message altering, post here
Post by: sharkey on March 31, 2010, 03:48:04 PM
Title says it all.

Kralik,

1) You are scaring away prospective members from joining.

2) You are completely destroying the point of a message board. Why do you think there has ben such low activity?

Please. You cannot win this, I know you are playing around but I will not stop until you are forced to destroy the boards (from defeating it's purpose) or I get this turned off.

I would have prefered to do this over PM, but you have ignored my last 4.

I appreciate your efforts to keep things here interesting, but this is over the top.

Thank you.

And yes, to prevent the complaints that may occur: This is the only place I can give a communicable message. If I could do it elsewhere, I would.

Dear members,

This is Kralik's site. He pays for it. Celebrate the holiday and (if you are of legal age in your jurisdiction) have a beer.

Chill out. Thus far, it has lasted a total of less than 24 hours and it was all in fun.

Who is the last real, contributing member who has joined who is not a bot anyways?
-wtk

Edit: PM Interaction with Kralik:


Meh. I'm sure it isn't permanent, so whatever.
That's the spirit!

It is Kralik's site. However, we are still members and have a right to complain. I am being vocal, but also trying to be polite.

Anyways, I guess I'll be going then. Be back soon. Maybe.

Doesn't this topic belong in the council of cobra section?  Maybe a mod could move it there.  Ha ha.

I am very unhappy. I was unaware that editing my list while the bork was active would mean my list would remain permanently borked. :(

Oh, I thought yesterdays joke was very amusing :) I first thought Kralik had, like last night, still problems with the script, but it appears to be another joke. Like this new joke a bit less, but it's okay for a day ;) Hope that everything will be normal tommorow. For now people laugh :)

Aww come on dude, they cant be that desperate and life changing that 2 days matters for a bit of fun. You wouldnt be here trading if it wasnt for Kralik, if he wants to turn every word you type into an expletive that his choice as its his forum. The existance of this community is a bonus to us all granted by Mr K. Therefore he is the god of this site and thus can do anything he wants.

To be honest the april fools joke isnt that funny but its no big deal, but Bork bork bork was quality!

Second that... I laughed my #$&*@! off when I saw it... it reminded me of the blue guys in Final Fantasy x /X-2, those shoopuff guys ;) I think it was great...

Kralik, I didn't know you are solely responsible for this site's existence... thank you. Just be yourself as you are. ;)

People, you really need to take some time off... sense of humor is what makes us human and I really mean that... I would've killed myself a long time ago if the world wasn't so funny ;)

All fun and games aside, i dont play the game. Im just a collector. But im also a private contractor. People pay me #$&*@! loads of money per hour for consultations etc. If i come on here in a spare hour of my own free time. Away from my busy work life. Id like to atleast have something to show for it. Not be a complete waste of my time and have to keep checking back every so often to see when the site was going to be fixed.

And for the record, it wasnt an April Fools day joke, he was a day early.

Mythdracon,
Sorry to hear about your troubles! It was indeed a few hours from the start until I fixed the trade forum. Anything that was typed into the white box when you hit "Post" was your actual post text.

AMFSOOK,
TLHH is not, nor was ever intended to be, a business outlet. In fact, in the early days, the mods and admins considered warning users who were using it primarily to buy and sell with no contributions to other parts of the forum. The marketplace is supposed to be a place for players to meet up and trade, not business or online stores. In the end we decided to tolerate large sellers as long as it wasn't over the top.

If a user wants to maintain an online storefront, he or she should pay for the web hosting and advertising themselves.

Guys. Quit whining, develop a sense of humor and deal with it.

We at least used to be a tight-knit community who liked everyone and didn't go ballistic because they pulled a funny April Fool's joke.

I'm not...

What's so funny about the whole thing? And what freaking language is that? English-Flemisch?

Sure, I bet with some tweaking I could add it to the language selection list, or perhaps a checkbox. I'll see if I have time to look into it once this all blows over.

However, the card database isn't linked into the forums, so for those it's either all or nothing.

April Fools Day is now officially changed to Whiney Butthurt Complainers Day. Kralik, should you happen to implement registration fees, I suggest you include complimentary miniature fiddles with "my #$&*@! hurts" engraved upon them...just as a welcoming gift.

Tight knit doesn't mean you always get along, it means you know each other and how each other act -- in that sense its a tight knit community. But in the sense that we always get along, not so much.  ;)
