[mrwiseman]

I thought about listing you, but you had posted something a few days ago, so technically you aren't gone

Is odd not to see your posts... but... does happen anything in your hands?, you don't write correctly! ^^ [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

I'm still lurking. Just that I lost interest with this place when it became the Xenogearanaboard instead of the Granaboard. And after more and more Hentai was added to the site and after Wiseman threatened to ban me I just decided, hey, I got soulcalibur.com and Shoryuken.com so whatever right?

Hentai? There's almost no hentai here.... 1 topic that actually is usually perverted...

There's like 3 or 4 Xeno topics, not very many considering...

IRT BJ:

1. This is not a topic-oriented message board. You are free to create threads talking about whichever game you like.

2. There's little to none hentai in the board. Hentai art in the Granaboard website is properly marked, so if you don't like it, don't see/read it, or better than that, make your own non-hentai art, for example, in form of articles for the section you asked for and I added a long time ago.

3. I never threatened to ban you. I was talking about official warnings which were never issued, and it was related to a majorly disgusting link you posted that broke the Granaboard Rules & Regulations and I modded a long time ago. I really had no other choice as this was like the 4th link of yours I had to mod and it was really disgusting; but I'm honest when I say I would hate to have to take any action against a Grandia II board vet I respect. I'm not even mad at you or anything; otherwise I wouldn't have listed you in the list of missing people.

What does IRT mean anyways?

1. I know you're free to talk about what ever games you like it's just that I've never been particularly fond of X Gears (yes I have played it enough to assess it) and every one jumping on the Xeno Saga band wagon, well, I don't know what to say about that. Seemed like we used to be all about the under dog RPG's and all of a sudden eveyr one was jocking on the of the biggest RPGs around. Just changed the feel of the board.

2. Oh yeah, the article section, well, if you want to keep that up you can. I was hoping it'd take off better than it did. I guess I could've put more effort into it and if you all want me to write more articles I can, well, fuck that I'll go ahead and write some stories of me during my Soul Calibur 2 hey days. But the decision to keep it is ultimately yours.

3. You said,

"Don't ever post animal brutality contents again. I won't be this lenient next time - violence towards animals is something I won't tolerate, not even a bit."

I took that as a threat of banning. What I found odd is that you have no problem making a site with Hentai and mess. board with topics that are rather coarse in subject, but I post a few things I think are funny and they aren't allowed. Yes, it was a joke, was it a bad, dirty joke, yes. I figured every one would see the humor of it but I guess I was wrong. I don't understand why the link I posted was so wrong. And since I, some one who's been in this circle of people for as long as any one can remember, I found it to be a message of unwelcomeness since you'd tell me things like that after all we've been thru. If things aren't that way and I am welcome after a message like that then I suppose I can come back and be a productive member of the board once again.

---B.j.
And remember, pretty much every RPG you've played has Animal Brutality.

[melfice]

Naaw, don't feel like that, it has happened me at least once... I guess that i was just a joke like all those which people sends and receive in the Internet (never saw it...), maybe that Wiseman saw it offensive and according to his own rules, it was subject of moderation.

I also understand that Wiseman didn't saw any serious offense to animals, there are much more disturbing images out there, so, i guess that because of that, he didn't warned you seriously, I've seen him warning people seriously, believe me.

Our Xeno Mania is one of our typical illness, i guess, but it is true, lately this looked much more like XenoBoard than any other thing... (or should i say "ZoharBoard"? [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) thoug, i'm not complaining about it. I like the Xenogears looking (just see my avatar...)

I PERSONALLY never have posted direct links to hentai art here in the board, so, as for me, you will never see any of them in my posts. I like hentai, and i do it. You can add much more other contents that are not there, such as... dunno... fanfics, theories, etc, etc, etc. And Wiseman also don't have direct links to Hentai art in his pages, there is always a warning page before you can see anything (i bet it is the most visited, after the Show.html page [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

This board is a comunity of friends, nobody is forced to post, for instance, i've seen WC3 threads in which i never did a post. There are much more topics in this board, so, if you don't see any interesting, you aren't forced to make a post on them [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] .

And IRT means "In Reply To", it was a shortcut for the quoting, instead of quoting a whole post, we say "IRT Delyoto Roo" for example, and everybody knows what are we refering to. It was a measure that we adopted at the begining of this granaboard, because of its extremely slow speed... Now, it works fine! ^^

So, keep lurking here, to share your opinions, and, why not, your random insanities also... i say it as a cordial invitation ^^ [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

And Er... Replying that "in every RPG you've played there is "Animal Brutality"

The enemies you slay on every RPG are undoubtly based on real life animals most of the times, but, they aren't real animals. To begin with, most of the times, they are disproportionedly big, have odd colours, or extra wings, for instance.

Other times, they are mythological, or nonexistant, such as Pegasus, Dragons, Tiamats, Tyrannosaurus Rex and the like.

And other times, they are directly invented. Aliens, Facehuggers (those aren't RPG, but you understand what i mean, right?)

IRT BJ: Some use IRT (In Reply To) instead of quoting most of the time to save speed (it's not a rule or anything).

1. Xenosaga is popular because of good marketing on Namco's part, but Xenogears wasn't too popular because it was from a company that devoted its budget to FF, so it's kind of an underground RPG as well, besides, it's very controversial. In any case, I don't think the feel of the board changed much, we like good games, that's the simple rule. We still don't succumb to hype, we don't like Xenosaga because of that, I'm 100% sure of this.

2. I'm keeping the articles section, and I'm not asking you to write more or anything, just do as you wish; I was just pointing out that I have your opinions and wishes in mind.

3. Nope, the usual GB proceeding is post deletion =&gt; official warning =&gt; ban, unless the violation is really too serious. You are not unwelcome or anything; unwelcomed people is already banned. You are still a G2GFAQs/Granaboard respected and welcomed vet.

I have to go now, but I'll post more on the hentai vs. violence thing later. See you!

[melfice]

I'd like to point to begin that Violence and Hentai must never be mixed! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[mrwiseman]

On hentai vs. violence:

I still don't know why you find that bad or disgusting; after all, it's something so natural. All adults have sex, it's fun, it doesn't hurt anyone (normally), and it's Nature's way of life and evolution. What it's not natural is animal brutality, violence, gore... you don't need any of that to survive, plus it's not fun, it hurts innocent beings, and it's not good for anything. So I think it's pretty obvious why one is allowed and the other isn't.

Moreover, I happen to be an animal lover, and I do what I can to fight against these kind of things.

I don't understand some people, there's nothing wrong with sex, it's violence what it's usually evil; how is possible that some think a guy cutting other's throat in a movie is ok but if they see a naked body it's wrong, it's to be censored, and we're all going to hell for seeing that impure thing?
