Dhsu Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 There's a big ol' thread over here too. Too much drama for one forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFireKai Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Yeah, I was pissed, I took a six month break from OCR when I was stationed at Ft. Benning. I come back right when the Jihad over the Sidebar commences, then the whole site destabilizes, Unmod gets nuked, the commies take over, and offtop is created as a bastard compromise to make up for the loss of unmod. I thought the sidebar was a little garrish, but nothing worth going on the warpath over. Then DJP goes insane for like a 3 week period, and bans everyone who thinks anything negative about it (Please don't ban me.). Then Unmod goes insane over Pixietricks becoming judge. I didn't understand why that was so bad. Then VGDJ, which I thought was quite good, went belly up. Then I log on one day, and it's just gone... all of it, replaced by this. I'll get used to it, but it still kind of hard to swallow. I really felt like Nero, fiddling while OCR burned. But hey, life goes on. BTW, Liontamer, thanks for the opportunaty to beat this dead horse some more, it keeps the flies away, and they're soo ugly. Argh, I'll get back to playing Diablo next week and forget all about this rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 There's a big ol' thread over here too. Too much drama for one forum. Wow. I never knew about that thread. I figured all the discussion and flaming was kept to just this one. [K]- Unless you changed your settings for viewing the forums, there was no way for you to have seen this thread. It had been inactive for over two months before it was bumped by LT when he merged another thread into it. Frankly, I'm surprised it was still here at all after such a long time.

blueblazer1224 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Just got done reading it all, the "Power & Responsibility", the IRC heated chat, everything. I never stepped foot into UnMod before it was killed but I wish I'd had. There are some damn smart people who hung out there...and no I'm not being sarcastic.

Devyn Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 What's weird is that I was really upset when unmod went down, but I like off-topic way more. There was really no place to make an off-topic conversation without being confronted by nothing but comments like "noob" and other sarcastic gestures.

Langriman Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Not to sound like a jerk but... if the managers really cared about community, why was UnMod deleted? I don't come here very often these days, so maybe I missed the explanation/apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Yeah, I did bring it up before, but it was thought unnecessary to issue an apology, as djp did address all the points in question before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 In truth, I didn't think an apology was ever really going to come to pass, Bahamut. What where the chances of the more vocal UnModders apologizing to the judges or mods for all the things they said? Not very high I'd wager. As such, having the various outspoken mods and judges apologize for the things they said didn't seem likely to happen. After all, why should one side apologize if the other side isn't going to? Not a really fair and balanced system there. Plus, why should someone apologize for their opinion? Both sides of this had people who said some nasty things along the way, and perhaps for the more direct person-to-person insults, I could see an apology being made if the person felt bad about it afterwards (not likely... on either side). But having them give an apology for how they felt on a subject seemed odd. And forcing them to give one... well, that's never a good idea. I'd personally rather have no apology, than one I knew was bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hachiryu Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 hoshit. I leave for like a year, and this is what happens? I'd ask wtf happened but I'll assume it'll feel like beating a dead horse to all of you. Death of unmod makes me sad, though. It was like my introduction to the underbelly of the internet. I shall mourn for you, unmod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleJCrb Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 One thing, why is talking about Pixi's nose a banable offense? Inflammatory remarks to or about another member of the community, perhaps?

Bummer Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Heh, I thought that i recognized this thread. But seriously, even I'm tired of this debate now. What is done is done,l and no apology or action can change that fact. Even if pretzel would bring back our unmod out of a magical cloud of codes and numbers, it wouldn't be the same since the issues still would be left standing. We have learned to live without unmod, or we have found a suitable replacement for it. Either way, just talking about this is bringing back bad memories, so personally I think it's just better to begin anew instead of repetating the same stuff over and over again rinse and repeat. CakeArmy.org's ReMod was a great idea initially, but now it's a post count whore spot with a lot of threads and stuff I just don't care about, and I wish it had a General Discussion section to offset the post whore-ism but it doesn't, just some small game talk section We're basically just trying to joke around, post fun remarks and make random stuff, a postcount of whore proportions just happens to be a side effect when I'm trying to follow multiple threads at the same time.
