I wanted to apologize to anyone that I've upset between last night and today.
I just find it funny that someone talks smack and I am not even allowed to read what was said. Some people said it was fine to threaten children, I just wanted an explanation and threads are being deleted. I'm told someone is talking big time crap, yet without reading it for myself it just leads me to conclusions and be more angry at the guy than if I just got an answer.

Maybe I'm just stressed out and this heat is getting to me.

Before I get banned for asking questions and speaking my mind about people's attitudes around here and how the pitchfork mob HAS TAKEN KLOV OVER...

I will gracefully step out of the KLOV scene for a while. Not out of collecting, but seriously KLOV has gone to hell over the last couple of years, threads that should be deleted don't get deleted, and everyone tries to be vague about whats going on.

This is a community, and hugs and kisses cannot be given when people aren't allowed to defuse the situation. By deleting threads the mods are pouring gas on the fire.

I'M GOING FOR A NICE COUNTRY DRIVE TO FORGET ABOUT THE NERD MOB.

I hold most everyone here in high respect... but one problem and the whole group starts beating on eachother.

I NOW UNDERSTAND WHY ALOT OF THE OLD TIMERS HAVE LEFT, AND NOW KNOW LONGER BLAME THEM. YOU CAN FIND ME ON MY PHONE OR EMAIL, BUT I'M GOING TO FADE OUT OF THE KLOV SCENE FOR A WHILE, THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH STRESS OVER WANTING TO TALK SOME VIDEO GAMES.
 
Leaving is not the answer. Mods deleting that thread was not the answer. Mods handling the people that get out of line is the answer. Now the thread is gone and people wont have a clue
about Atarigalaxy and you will be gone. If the mods dealt with the people that were out of line, you would stay, and people would know what Atarigalaxy is all about. Wake up mods and get it right.

FT...ya know I love ya... but you need to lighten up a bit. RobotronJon was upset over a statement you attributed to him that evidently wasn't said by him. It's not a big deal. Both parties need to chill. This place is supposed to be fun ... why all the anger?
 
FullThrottle , if you take a brake make sure you come back !!

I have stayed out of this but I would like to clarify something.
No one said "it was fine to threaten children", you said that.
The quote was something to the effect of, /"I would post their info, their wife's info, the kids and even the dogs info"(loosely quoted).
I don't think the poster meant they would actually post the childrens info, I think it is called "exaggeration for effect".
To many people on here like to take small parts of comments and blow them out of proportion.
 
Fullthrottle,
I have never met you. I am a newcomer to this forum, but I just have to say that your contributions will be missed.

This is the best Video Game community that I have found online. I have learned so much here, and I greatly hope KLOV wont fall apart. Without people, this place is nothing.

Hope you can make it back.
 
I thought this forum would be different since it should skew older due to the subject, but it appears there is the sames nonsense drama garbage I've seen countless times at other forums. really, just how hard is it to have good discussion about something without people getting in other's business and people feeling the need to take shots at eachother.

stop it with the drama, if I want that crap I'd turn on network tv.
 
I thinking locking threads is a better answer than deleting threads, but that is just me. And, it's also much better to avoid the drama and not participate in the ugly threads.
 
someone deciding to opt me out of a thread is not right. Locking a thread is one thing but deleting it is a whole other big brother kind of thing.

All i can say is please calm down Karl this the heat here is killer day after day.

I've left this site a couple of times becouse i did'nt like the way i was treated.
I come back after beeing gone for awhile and those people are no longer here.

I enjoy talking about classic games and everything from the 80's.. I really don'nt care about anything else that happens here on this site. The reason i say this is becouse i only come here for the Classic games and Memorys that come from them.

But everything happens for a reason.

I hope everything turns out o.k.

your friend simpsons99 Brian
 
Been away so I did not read the "drama" post in question but...

FT, if you feel the need to step out for a while and cool off, then please do so. However, you have to come back. Don't let it get to you too much. Life's tooooooo short my friend.

Peace dude.

I needed to take a break from the computer, have a couple of beers and eat some food, talk to a good friend and think for a bit.

I came to KLOV for the arcade video games. I was dumbfounded to find out that people collected them and had giant warehouses full of them! I wanted to learn how they worked, who made them, games long before my time that I had never heard of, I wanted to know it all...

I have tough skin, so its not one comment that pissed me off... its a culmination of years worth of reading klov. I think its that everyone is so quick to throw stones at each other (myself included) that we've all forgotten about the reasons we came to klov, and thats the arcade games.

Another thing that sent me through the roof was more time has been spent in 24 hours deleting threads that should have been locked and selectively edited out, than has been spent in a year on the database and information of the games themselves. The main klov page still shows CAX 2008 August dates up and coming, yet a year later We've already had ANOTHER CAX show! I sent in pictures years ago because hey, I have that game and I got a WAY better picture, yet its never put up, so I stopped trying to care about sending in more information.

I guess KLOV has just become too large of a place that the little stuff slips through the cracks. Its a great resource because of the people, but like ebay and paypal so large that they could care less about making useful updates and worry more about policing.

Maybe if we acted more adult like they wouldn't have to police and could update meaningful stuff instead of the forum look and software... I get out of line too, so I'm not excusing myself, but lately it seems like the B.S. is flowing over the top of my boots.

I love the arcades but also spend so much damn time here its crazy... I had a nice month or two break off of the klov and it was awesome, I got ALOT of stuff done, spent some time with some girls enjoying my youth, and wasn't so stressed out... A couple months straight of arcade crap and I'm ready to go postal. Its not a goodbye I'm never coming back... but its a reality check for me when I'm letting some nerds over the internet stress me out to the point where I'm yelling inside my head, yet we're all in agreement, which was ironic.

I won't spark the same argument, and usually have skin as tough as nails... Agreed that people get comments blown out of whack, but I re-read the damn thing 10 times or more, and certain things you do not say "for exaggeration effect" PERIOD. I can think of a bunch of them, but you'll never hear or see my say them.

It really is. 97% of the guys here are the coolest mo-fo's I've met. They'd give you the shirt off there back and a warm meal, even if it was all they had. Some of my best friends I have met through KLOV. Its a great network sight, its just not good when you get too much of it. Thats probably more of my problem.

I'm not going bye-bye, I just need to spend maybe a night or two a WEEK here and have a normal life again instead of spending the whole week on KLOV and maybe have one normal night in a week.
 
Over the last 2 years I've been on BYOAC/KLOV I've gradually gone from constantly reading threads and posting to becoming much more selective. Nothing wrong with getting on the forums daily. Just stop listening to that voice in your head that tells you to read any thread that has any bit of interest to you. :) Try to stay within the quality threads that apply directly to you or where you can provide some good insight that not many other people will be able to do. You'll find that you suddenly are not finding the forums to be all-important.
 
Karl, are you sure it's not the insane amount of games in your house driving you batshit crazy? :D

Are you feeling boxed in? heh. :help:
