Vecha Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 How does the new system work? The comments are horizontal instead of vertical...you have to click over and over and over in order to see ALL the comments...and you only get to see one at a time. It is a jumbled mess.

Sloopydrew Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I think I'll choose this place to comment at, for the time being. I signed up here a long time ago, but never posted. But I knew the day would come when Kotaku's commenting system -- like Gawker's before it -- would begin sucking on the dick of an ass. That day arrived. I tried The Verge, but the front page is so messy and hard to navigate. Plus, the comments won't let you swear. Fuck that! So I'm here. I think I'll get my news at Destructoid. It feels about the closest to old Kotaku. The one place I won't visit? Kotaku. Fuck that weak sauce. Nick Denton won't be getting any hits off me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloopydrew Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Not to mention today Stephen was basically arguing for the system. I understand part of it is due to it being his job, but come on. Try to at least hide the fact you don't give a fuck about the complaints. He was arguing for it? Basically just a repeat of the Gawker excuse? "Brings out the best comments! Doesn't discriminate in a class system! " Or did he have other excuses? When I was a star commenter I approved pretty much all comments(unless they were obvious trolls). I don't remember many feeling "left out" Stephen literally just slightly rewrote Nick Denton's PR spin. It was a shameful display and really soured my opinion of him as a "journalist." And no, he had no other excuses -- just the ones you brought up (and others from Denton's list of BS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Honestly, I don't know if I'd do anything different if it were my job. Maybe tell people it's not that bad and that any valid complaints would be redirected at those who can change things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Did it finally implode? *Edit* - I say "finally" not because it seemed inevitable, but because it seemed like it was going strong for a really long time.

deanb Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 It just dwindled in users and they're not a cheap thing to run. More so than TF2 servers I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoStarr Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yeah it was kind of inevitable. Near the end I was really only watching over the monetary side of things anyway. Donations started slowing down and I was pretty broke myself. I heard most people who were still playing all joined another server together and since population was dying down it was probably for the best. I never did give enough thanks to those that helped out with it though; whether they were a player, moderator or donator. And a special thanks to evemarie for taking over server duties entirely in the last few months. I've had more free time on my hands lately and have been using some of it to lurk here, but I've been hesitant to post lately because most of what I have to say about games these days has pretty much already been ridiculed... I think what made me pop my head in was seeing that a lot of people seem to be enjoying Heart of the Swarm and I don't nearly have enough people to play with; so I was hoping to get in on some of that. NeoStarr.919. I'll probably go visit that thread too in a couple more games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Mai commander. And yes it is hard to get a decent server going. The run from home idea died quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papirus Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Doesn't seem like this thread's been used as an intro thread for a while, so I kinda feel out of place but... Hi. I googled "where to find a good gaming community" and reddit pointed me here. I mainly play on PS3, but I have money now so I'll be on PC and Xbox soon. Weeaboo-in-training, I also hang around the manga scanlation scene. (Used to be a "cleaner", but that was years ago.) And I started this blog not too long ago, sometimes about games, sometimes about life. pyrusic.wordpress Heard you guys have a blog here. I'll check it out some time. People call me "papi" for short. /me bows and walks away. Oh. #maigo, #facepalm on irchighway, if anyone's interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 If you're into anime and manga a couple of us are heavily invested and discuss it in the Entertainment subforum, so you're welcome there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Like we warned you when you joined, we're a pretty small community. Many of us came from Kotaku and stuck around due to liking the community, others have simply come and gone due to differences or lost interest.

Mal Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 You know those old dusty saloons you find out in the Old West? We're one of them but we're run by a Brit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Everybody is web-family. I wouldn't ever trust another forum with buying shit together off steam or even temporarily giving them access to my email, but I trust everybody here.

CorgiShinobi Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 If we're going to be a family, I think we need to start assigning roles. Either I want to be an uncle, or the awkward middle child who gets the secondary door to the second floor bathroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I'm the cool uncle who buys you wine coolers and lets you read his porno mags and--- No wait that didn't come out right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I want to be the annoying neighbor who walks in the house uninvited and says a catchphrase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
