Question on complaints about MyG news articles.

I like reading the main page on MyG with all the news and what nots, even if its not really directly gaming related.

Some ppl complain about MyG copying news from other sites and posting silly articles. I dont get why they complain, news isnt scooped by every site on the web. Every gaming site, of which there are hundreds, if not thousands, report the exact same articles, some copy from each other as the poster reads it there, but with a link, like MyG does. It just depends on which site you prefer. Its just ridiculous if you visit site A, then site B and then complain about news reposted on site B.

Of course there will be a duplication of news. Every site tries to post as many of the important news bits as possible.

Also, sometimes posting something thats not really gaming related but still fun is a nice to read. Obviously dont go mental and just post news about politics and the economy, but once in a while a fun story is great.

I dont get the constant complaing about the acticles.

I didn't even know that people are complaining. I don't read the comments to be honest. I suppose that's where people are complaining?

I like MyGaming articles and I think Kevin has been a good addition to the team even if they don't let him post on the forums.

I know people on mybb complain in the gaming section that links to myg articles keep getting posted (I used to be one of those.)

The people in the comments section of the news articles love to bitch about stupid stuff. Luckily most of them stay away from the forum.

I thought the purpose of mybb was exclusively to complain about stuff?

What does mybb stand for, I thought it was My bitching box since it seems to be a soap box for people to bitch. I think I may be wrong now.

My Broadband. A lot of ex Mygaming guys who should know better (knowing us a community and resources with which this site operates) like to diss this site. I used to be on Mybb myself but it was a such a boys club at one point that I came here.

And the same here...

You get your top 5 people pretty much rule the forum, and whatever you say is belittled by their superior post count.

Oh, let's not beat about the bush. The only guys I've seen complaining are Necuno, Datura and Graal (aka Zewp).

As an exercise to the reader, I'll mention a few traits and you can decide which of those best describe the above group:

Mature
Reasonable
Objective
Accommodating
Thoughtful
Troll-like

Wasn't he on here as well at one point?

But at least the following post was .... level headed.

He's just keeping busy while he waits for puberty to set in.

Do you think we should start reporting posts over there that are are insulting to MyGaming members and staff? You know, for fun?

Don't get it. Dudes sitting on a forum talking about tech, making fun of dudes sitting on a forum talking about tech.

They are bored and lacking in emotional maturity. So they try to troll us, that's all. Poor things are probably lonely as hell and just about shouting for attention from the roof-tops.

This is definitely not the first time I've seen the MyBB kids go on like this about the members of this forum.

Not even worth paying attention to, imho. Probably just being bitter because their community is such a hopeless cesspit.

Wow that Detura guy looks like a real jerk. :(

Most guys on MyBB aren't too bad. Just the 3 I mentioned that are the full of it (and themselves) when in comes to MyG. There have been complaints from others, but usually presented in a civil manner and some of those were even valid.

As a casual observer (I'm always watching) of what's going on over at MyBB and here on MyG, it's pretty cool to see that both forums have their own communities, with their own personalities.

It'll happen that people will clash here, then go to MyBB to complain - and I've seen people clash there, and come and snipe at MyBB here :)

It's just a part of the tumble really!

As for general complaints about the news articles - trust us, we keep a close eye on what content we cover - and we take feedback into account.

Maybe less so when James decides to bugger off on a month-long holiday, admittedly. Kevin would love to post on the forums, but he's locked in his cage, and James has the only key. Maybe from next week :)

But who watches the watchers?
