Hey everyone! I'm new... but not really.

on: May 03, 2006, 02:05:31 am
Hey everyone! Glad to see some familiar handles. I use to frequent the old Pixelation forum way back. I kind of lost touch after "Dice" started a similar spinoff. So in the meantime I put my brain to some use and figured out how to setup my own server and host my own site: 2D Gamers: The Serious Side of 2D Game Design. I've even setup my own phpBB forum, (which isn't as nice as this one, but it works for me.)

If you decide to visit, let me know what you think. Thanks!

Hi, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you too.

What did you think of the site? I just added a whole bunch of stuff to it. I'm always updating and adding new things... keep checking back, it's quickly evolving!  ;D

Just want to keep everything civil. There really is no reason for people to get get out of hand if they're working hard creating their games anyway. It's also a show of respect... something people forget about when they are on the internet.

Rharpe, it's always good to see members from the past resurface. I'm not so sure you remember me though, since I came around Pixelation late in the game and wasn't exactly a person worthy of rememberance then.

Sorry, it has been a while. There are a lot of people I get mixed up because of changes in there handle, etc. I was rharpe at first then resigned up as Guybrush_Threepwood later on. I never joined Dices board because I was slowly getting busy with life and non internet related things. Now I'm hosting my own site and forum. If you are into game design, stop by, if not, stop by anyways... it's always nice to see new submissions to the forum. :P

My apologies for not remembering you.

your forum rules terrify me and i would really never want to be part of such a strict board. to be brutally honest though, i think you made the rules because you are anal and need a feeling of control and orderly conduct. good luck recruiting and keeping members on such a strict board.

edit: or you have an utmost need to show off how morally appropriate you are compared to us. Swearing isnt always necessary, but if you are really against it, get the fuck off the internet bud, there is much worse stuff out there, i guess you are just too sheltered to know its out there...and please dont come back and reply with bible scripture and try to put me down and say im a loser because honestly i dont care, I just think you are trying to be far too elitist and essentially, you suck balls at it.

edit: and normally, i am very civil whilst internetting, its just i tend to get out of hand when pure idiocrity diseases forums. prime example...your forum rules.

Take Care Rharpe, if you lighten up your forum rules, ill gladly join <3

also, please take all this with a grain of salt im only having fun and bashing your forum rules. ill also probably get banned for this.

Anyway, welcome back, rharpe.

Sounds to me like his rules were to prevent people saying such as this. He's probably had some bad flaming experiences in the past, and his dedication to his hobby has pushed him to wanting to create a safe place to talk about pixel art with other artists. Personally, I don't see any need to swear when talking about pixels  ::)

Have you ever made a game before? You must be strict and dedicated to make a game. Spend your time well, and you can do great things. :)

There is no need for Bible scripture. I'm sure you have been taught the difference between right and wrong. Sorry you feel this way.

Yeah I'd appreciate it if people behaved in this thread. We might not be rharpe's crazy fundamentalist forum, but we do have a ruleset too. Profanity's not such a big deal (and we can, if so desired, tell god to go fuck himself, especially on such a day as today! SIX SIX SIX) but usually when it serves some other point than to make us look omg cool. I realize I started some of this in this thread with my first post (bad moderator, helm!) but it's just that I found and continue to find rharpe's rules stupid, and since he's basically recruiting from our userbase, I felt it justified to at least let him know his rules are stupid. Rharpe, god and I agree that your rules are stupid.

Does anyone actually read the forum rules??  I have never read any rules, term & conditions, User policy, legal agreement and all that jazz on the internet.. ever.  Why dont you just code the forum so it blocks swear words with '*'.  That will save you a lot of moderation. 

@ Alex - I have never seen anyone act like that towards a set of rules before, lighten up dude if you dont want to follow them, dont post there.

@ Helm - 6 more posts in 4 hours and you will have 666 posts on the devils day  :o

I remember you, 2dgamer, although since I only joined shortly before the board crashed, so you likely woudn't remember me. Checking through your rules, I don't see them as too bad. They seem like good rules for the kind of environment you want to create and I wish you well. The only thing that put me off about them was the way you phrased some. I think the way you phrased some of them, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 10, work well and get the point across strongly. The phrasing of the others comes off a little too strict and threatening for my liking. Take your first rule with the threat to boot out those who don't respect the other members. To me, this conflicts with your message of respect, and as you can see here it puts people off. Another example is rule 7, which I think would be better off without the sass so that it says to look at the section topic before posting.

Good luck with your board

Personally, I don't see how having rules will really help a person create games. People know not to act like a tit, swearing in moderation should be perfectly fine, in my eyes. Most of the people I know that actually make games are the ones that don't have such strict boundaries imposed upon themselves. Myself included.

I suppose you might have a different perspective. Sure, I can see this being precautionary, but I wouldn't outright ban swearing. I would, however, warn anyone who crosses the boundaries and starts cussing in excess. I fail to see the how the usage of colloquial language and interjections have any adverse impact on one's ability to create games.

Making games simple require creativity and the smarts (not really even this oftentimes) to accomplish it, and the time to work on it. Nothing else is really necessary.

Ya know guys, it takes absolutely no effort to not cuss. I've been on numerous forums over the past 3 years and haven't sworn yet...I don't even try not to cuss, I just don't.

But maybe I'm just perfect.   ::)

What's wrong with cussing, I do it all the time? It's annoying when it's abundant though, like gangsta language. However, if I say a piece is "fucking ace", it's fucking ace, not jolly good...

I can see the majority of you here see nothing wrong with swearing... that is why you are here I suppose, so that you can curse, swear, and do what you like. That is fine... by all means continue to do so. I'm not here to impose any restrictions on what you do here or anywhere else, but...

If you plan on signing up and posting on the 2D Gamers forum be aware of what is expected of you. I will try to make it the most enjoyable and productive forum you will visit on the web, but only with your cooperation. I don't want to be, as Helm put it, a

I'm not trying to argue here, but ain't that little rough, especially from a moderator??
For me, everyone should have right to believe as they please, and it's normal human right not to be blamed of it. Freedom of speech does not cover blaming others beliefs. (you can read the UN human rights statement if you disagree)

So especially when this is pixelling forum, posts like that are totally unappropriate. You're not only insulting rhape, but every believer.

No-one should be allowed to say here on this forum "god (or allah, or buddha or any other god) can go fuck himself", not because it's blasphemy in general but because it's insulting others believes.

Let's keep this forum about pixelling, not about religions or beliefs, mmkay?

Peace.

Im all for a gentlemans forum, this place is one of the most mature forums I go to.. but everyone already acts mature with no one having to remind each other of rules..

and Im pretty sure "allah" is just the muslim name for the same god that christians believe in ;)

I seem to recall seeing a post a while ago that someone else had done this.  I forget who it was or what you had to type, though.  I wonder what happens if you type Helm, The King in Yellow, The King in Yellow?

[EDIT] Okay, that's what I thought. [/EDIT]

Yes, I was especially harsh and I broke the rules about being an ass on my posts above. I apologize to rharpe, and to the userbase. This is mainly because rharpe and me go way back, before and sideways to this forum and I have ethical issues with a lot of stuff he says on the internets. I realize I shouldnt've made this a pixelation issue at all, and I do apologize for this much. I dislike forum recruiting, personally, but there's no rule against that either so I was out of line in that way as well. However I will not apologize for religious statements made, as tolerance goes both ways, not only in respecting the religious choices of others, but also when others appear to insult it.

I can see the majority of you here see nothing wrong with swearing... that is why you are here I suppose, so that you can curse, swear, and do what you like. That is fine... by all means continue to do so. I'm not here to impose any restrictions on what you do here or anywhere else, but...

If you plan on signing up and posting on the 2D Gamers forum be aware of what is expected of you. I will try to make it the most enjoyable and productive forum you will visit on the web, but only with your cooperation

I think swearing is quite enjoyable.  ;D

:P Jokes aside, I don't see anything wrong with swearing personally. "Right" and "wrong" are just ideas anyway, not really unviersal truths. But now I'm get philosophical so I'll stop.

I don't mind swearing as long it's not every other word, and that's only because I'm such a grammar nazi.

Apology accepted!

Helm, you have insulted me from the time I started Pixelation back in 2001... why change, right? I respect you as an artist and fellow game designer. But when it comes to religion, morality, and ethics, we are total opposites, and always will be. We've made that clear on one too many occassions. This is something I grew to accept. Rehashing through these discussions will get us no where.

...Now let's move on.

So if you ever feel adventurous enough, I would be honored to have you come by the site/forum as a fellow game designer and artist. Religion, ethics, morality, will not be discussed. Truce?  ;)

Sorry, I won't be coming to your forum, but yes, I'll leave you alone.
