See? Whatever you may think of us, the moderators here have a long way to go before we're that bad...

[Bargib]

I delete it, nothing mysterious about that. If his post actually had contained just a tad more serious content, I might have considered keeping it, but I am going to delete all posts that say "X game sucks, and Y game rulez" without any sensible argument about it...

I run a forum about Freelancer, and if I started posting all over this place talking about Freelancer, the mods here would start deleting my posts, because the topic of this forum is NOT Freelancer, but X2.

So don't start getting mad at me, I just try to run a community and try not to let things like these derail the commardie we have. We all want the genre to be revived, and we might each have our own favorites, so don't troll TLR's forum!

[Bargib]

And the forum is 3 years old... not just a few weeks... LOL...

no need to apologise for deleting Flibble posts. Wish the same thing happened here. You do though, IMO, have a defensive and censorious attitude on that forum which is very unattractive and well off-putting for the casual visitor.

This forum discusses all sorts of games, including Freelancer. I guess the general opinion of FL is that the default Third person perspective (your forum contributors make it clear that without a radar or 3d cockpit this is the only practical way to play), the lack of a 3d cockpit you can look left, right etc, and no radar removes it from consideration as a serious space sim. Lack of joystick too.

I hope it turns out good but I think that the Diablo-in-space approach will alienate a substantial core of the potential market without attracting the casual gamer.

I have an account but don't post following the endless locking of threads and the inability of the regular posters to recognise that a lack 3d cockpit and radar are not minor quibbles by bored ne'r do wells, they're fundamental aspects of an immersive experience that have been removed from the game.

If Egosoft came along and said, no radar, no 3d cockpit, no joystick, we'd scream and shout. The Reactor crowd just suck it up and try to give the impression these fundamental aspects of a sim don't matter and attempt to stifle any debate for fear that it will be "negative." Easier than accepting you're being screwed by microsoft in an effort to dumb it down for a mass market I suppose.

It's called being in denial. And it won't work, it'll still be too big and complex for casual gamers and the missing essentials will rob it of the hard core market.

"X game sucks, and Y game rulez"

Subtle.

But I really think it should be "F game sucks, and X game rulez"

[Faze]

Well said Steve.

A sensible, rational post on this forum, whats gone wrong.

The world must be coming to an end.

Agreed that unconstructive abusive posts should be deleted/locked (not sure that anything on this forum has been deleted, a few locked tho)

Having read through the TLR forum thread list (and a few of the threads) I see that it is moderated extremely strictly. There seems to be very little in the way of off-topic discussion and any topic which does not praise FL is deleted/locked. For example your most recently locked topic is quite farcical :-

~*The Wait is killing me*~

Rasta : "I am going to freak out if this game gets delayed anymore.
i have been waiting to play this game since 1999 and the more i think about playing the game the more agitated i become."

Moderator : "Sorry, but this is going no where.*click*"
(THREAD LOCKED)

Of course, any topic mentioning X2 is instantly removed, which makes you seem a little insecure and paranoid, as we have no problems discussing FL here.
You say that if you started discussing FL here you would be deleted.
No you wouldn't. We have discussed FL here several times, and never abusively. We have discussed it's pros and cons. I think that all of us here are looking forward to trying the demo. If we like it we will buy it, which I'm sure is exactly the case on your forum.


Also, you say that games other than FL should not be discussed on your FL forum.
Why?

We have no problem discussing other games here. We introduce and recommend games to each other. We discuss, our views (good and bad) in a constructive manor.
What is so wrong with that that it must be outlawed?

Honestly Bargib, you and your mods need to relax a little.

"X game sucks..."

That's a rather cheep shot, and somewhat childish, don't you think?

[Deleted User]

Lancer i suppose is a spin machine for the game rather than a true discussion platform, i was aghast at the delete fest going on more in one day than the history of this and the last forum put together .. which says a lot about this forum.

Was the post regards *Flibble* if so it does seem a bit of a jerk in the knee
