Yes, I realise that the CNET thing is probably a joke. However, thats not the reason I'm leaving. Recently the community has dwindled. The moderation and staff has lost quality. GBAtemp is not as fun as it once was.

I'll see you on other forums.

Linkiboy and I have been talking about this for awhile and we both agree that GBAtemp has lost it's spark.

GBAtemp for me was a second home where I could vent out my stress and just fool around (or as mthrnite put it, 'be a smartass). Now, it has turned into a playground for selfish requests for ROM dumps, blind idiots asking questions they could answer themselves, regurgitation of 4chan memes, people too serious to take a joke and general attention whoring (though it could be said this is also a plea for attention?).

This entirely my opinion though and I hope that everyone who enjoys GBAtemp as much as we used to, to support the site.

To all my friends here, great times we've had and we'll cross paths again some time.

Bye-a.

Love,
Angela (Orc)

All joking aside, the rom requesting has gone up by a bit, we need an elite board for peeps w/ 500+ posts or something to get away from teh noobs.

For the record, before I quit, there was a huge ongoing discussion about fixing GBAtemp. Stopping the spam, the hate, all of that jazz people have been mentioning. It's only a matter of time before they fix these problems, they're just trying to figure out the best way to do so.

However, if you two are really leaving, we'll miss ya'. You're still both going to be active in the testing area... of our hearts.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
