A new section by Narin.

I'm not flaming anyone and specifically Narin but I want to post my thoughts, moderate me after reading what I have to say and if you find a reason good enough to.
Time to stop reporting users abusing the rules now and post my thoughts.

The fact that Narin created a new forum category for cheat codes was totally uncalled for, even more creating a new group title for his helpers.

I take that as power abusing, what is the meaning of giving a custom group title to 4 members, also, why create a new category? Is it really needed?
Couldn't you just have a subforum or just a new forum under the Other Discussions category? hell it would have fit better there as it wouldn't take more space loading the index of the forums.If there is a need for other forums, then find something better than that.

Now for those group titles, Normatt at the very least deserves more than that and I have nothing against him but others who spend 2 hours in total on a weekly basis to post cheats in the cheats topic
do not deserve that, let me speak for myself and the others who are with me, I spend at least 1-3 hours romhacking everyday and more than that on the weekends and when I have time, I have spent more than that, not to mention the time I've put in the 13 as of now translation projects I've had.
200 hours romhacking since the end of the Summer for no profit, me and the others romhacking deserve a custom group title more than the coders club or whatever you guys are called.I also forgot to mention that you give power to whom you like and not the ones who help.

If I announce the establishment of a romhacking clud can I distribute freely group titles to my fellow romhackers? I guess not. If I were someone that had more power than that of a regular member? Hell yes.

Why don't you give group titles to other tempers, the guys at the graphics section work their arses off, don't they deserve a title too? Members that post releases and news? What about them? Oh, yeah...not special indeed.
Why doesn't Toni create a group title for the members of the radioactive force? They're clearly more than 10 and what the heck?, they're a club of some sorts too, I guess someone's doing his job as he's supposed to do.

Costello, I'm sure Narin asked you for that but I see that it's totally unfair by any way you see it, I totally disagree with the idea of having a new category of Narin's hobby, let alone seperate those "special" ones from the rest of the crowd.


Edit:As a fellow irc member notified me there's a secret forum for the "club" to gather, what about that? totally cool eh? I feel the coolness.Wasn't that enough already? Narin I'm losing all faith in you, seriously.

Yours faithfully
Bill.

All I'll say on the matter is I highly doubt that Narin intended to offend you lot in such a way, so taking that into consideration maybe relaxing a little until he responds would be helpful.

We are more like seeking questions into that action, my intentions are not to flame neither Narin nor other staff members but I'm dead serious in this blog article.

 

[Hadrian]

Narin can create forums now?

I think there are far more important forums needed here imo. I would mention them but who cares what I think?

A question for you:
Say you had your own little group of posting news.
Then will you create a completely new news thread just for them, and treating them more special?

It's good to see that someone thinks of the same as us.

 

[Lumstar]

Well... I do have a little tidbit of constructive criticism for the rom hackers here. I feel they're spread too thin, and would benefit from focusing on a smaller number of active projects at once.

i dont see what the big deal is about
sounds to me like some people just want a title or a group to belong in

granted, they probably wouldnt even need a title or group or w/e
but maybe it makes it easier for them to talk?
like on the hidden forum? cuz if they were "ranked" they probably cant see the forum so the titles are probably for convenience.

sheesh chillax psycho. all you do is complain about the forum.

and noitora actually has a good reason to rant if he's angry that not everyone(himself included) who hacks and does cheat stuff gets recognition.

EDIT: well. maybe Narin shouldnt call it it the cheat code makers or w/e CLUB. because actually, it does sound very exclusive. if it was a team, or maybe just cheat coders, it'd sound a lot nicer

 

[shadowboy]

I care Hadrian. Mind telling?

And two of the code creator club people only have 11 posts, WTF?
At the very least I would have expected Curley to be in it, god knows the kid trys hard.
Shadowboy disapproves until he gets a hentai forum with a hentai fan club!

It's not a big deal.
It's just not right for special group of people having a special area just for them.

As one of the more respected user in here have stated recently, dividing the forums is the last thing that is needed here.

 

[p1ngpong]

So can certain members who have the power just create forums here at will? I doubt that, I doubt that the forum was created without express permission from Costello and the other admins, and they wouldnt allow an extra section to be created if they didnt think it was necessary, or at least justified.

Anyway time will tell how successful the forum is, If it just turns out to be a failure, maybe then you can say it was an extravagant abuse of power.

If it turns out to be a success then you can say it was a great idea.

Time will tell, maybe we should all just relax and see how our new forum evolves!

I see noone with more than one active projects.And this blog article has nothing to do with the discussion of romhacking projects.

 

[Costello]

Don't mean to stir up trouble but all I can say is that neither me nor shaun ever agreed on this.
Looks like we'll need to have a little conversation with Narin.

Narin's a technician so he has the ability to do pretty much anything.

In fairness to him it isn't like he did all of this without discussing it with other staff, although mentioned briefly I didn't expect the changes to have been made to this extent (mainly the new group) but then there was likely to have been a mix up in communication.

And I completely agree with this, it isn't as if this has been the case for months, it's barely been up for a day so for all we know narin could have been planning to ask some of you if you wanted to join the "team". I couldn't say, pretty much all of us cannot say which is why I still think we should wait for a response before "jumping the gun". It seems as if you'll see Narin in a bad light regardless of whether this was a mistake or intentional.

 

[tinymonkeyt]

...then it was an abuse of power?
ok well that changes things. kinda.
id be okay if i knew they approved
but meh. let them take care of it
its not our job to criticize other members

Really if we were to test everything new to see how it goes this place wouldn't turn out to be really good :/

Well that completely changes everything then in my opinion.

I must say im shocked people other then you have that sort of power here!

He's right, but you've interpreted it in the wrong way... it's just a mix up in communication... checking through the discussion he DID mention the idea of doing this (albeit not clearly enough IMO), something that wasn't objected to at the time although not everyone had the chance to make comment.

 

[Noitora]

I have another question, is it really true that there's a hidden forum for the code makers club?
