Yeah, it's starting to look like a news feed.

Dohc-WP, can we scale it back a bit dude?

Why not make a sticky called "Dohcsie's RSS"...

His articles are helluva interesting, make no mistake, I think people might just be worried about the amount of "new posts".

Larch can have his own opinion sticky as well since he has some good posts too.

C'mon Dohc, keep it up!

... In fact, Rustbucket & Tincan ... how about creating a sub-forum called "My 5 gold's worth" or some such, wherein members can apply for stickies to post their own feeds or opinion type blogs".
 
He just copies and pastes what he read here: http://xbox.joystiq.com/

And if you want the rss feed they already have one for all the news he pastes anyway: http://www.joystiq.com/rss/

so ?

A large number of us don't bother going to other sites for gaming news, so the boy's essentially doing us a favour. Heck, pretty much all of us copy/paste something funny we see on the net. That's how we roll. Even your threads are essentially just youtube links.

Smile dude, we're not myBB here :)

Granted but then if there is a interest in this why is there almost no replies to any topics he posts? The amount of topics he posts versus the replies is also non existent. And let`s face it some of the stuff he posts is well just...crap.
 
granted larchie but you post spam quite a bit on another forum... so just leave it at that eh? :)

Tankie Wanky that is Prophecy not My Gaming and it is called "Soap Dish" and "Off Topic" for a reason. And the stuff I post I write and post myself I dont cut `n paste.

I read tons of posts on here without posting - even yours. And let's face it some of the stuff you post is well just...your opinion.

Now play nice. If you want to compare dick-sizes by who can post the best article, then this is not the place for you.

The person who posted this article won that contest long ago, with this article coming in close second. :cool:
 
Also, in future if you have a tiff with another forum member, kindly follow the boxing rules instead of calling him out in public:

1) Send him a PM explaining your concern, failing a resolution
2) Contact a Mod/Admin

alternatively

Place said member on ignore.

EDIT: My apologies for furthering tension.

Yes but here is the difference mine is user generated instead of a copy and paste. Isn't it the whole point of a forum to generate user content if I wanted latest news feeds I would go read them on the internet? So we end up having to brows two pages of empty threads to get to the stuff I really want to read.

Now play nice. If you want to compare dick-sizes by who can post the best article, then this is not the place for you.

No one is comparing dick sizes is there something your not telling us?

All I am stating is do we care for: "Disney Interactive to be more 'judicious' with HD games as losses abate"?

No tiff I am just stating something that is relevant to anyone who posts in that section and I voiced my opinion or am I not allowed to do that in a public domain?

The Mygaming crew is a family, we don't take kindly to people causing shit. That's what the NAG forums are for.

You seem to assume a lot of things on my behalf. Fact is he spammed about 2 pages of news you could have easily gotten off a news feed.
 
A) agree wiff OP- just too much.
b) before go post whoring, please check if threads don't exist already.
c) i know i'm partly guilty of copy-n-paste too.
d) voicy you are starting shit by complaining about starting shit.
 

Ironically enough that is just another copy and paste from another website the images nor what is written in that post is anything but original and belongs to someone else. Ironic dont you think?

Original post: http://features.teamxbox.com/xbox/1245/Xbox-360-FAQs/p1/

b) before go post whoring, please check if threads don't exist already.

One of the points I have forgotten but well put yes.

c) i know i'm partly guilty of copy-n-paste too.

Yes but at least you put what is being said from another web-page in quotes and you link to the source which is proper "forum etiquette" Dohc-WP pastes the piece of news no quotes or links back.

d) voicy you are starting shit by complaining about starting shit.

I dont really mind dont want to "upset" the "family" lol!
 
I think Necuno is spot on and I'm sorry if I aggravated the tension.

I think it's usually common practice for us to add quotes and hyperlink the word "sauce" or "full story" to the online article. If Dochsie doesn't do this, a kick inna panty will sort it out and then there'll be no issues. :)

You write interesting viewpoints on a lot of your threads, perhaps people like myself and Dochsie prefer to inform others of existing opinions / articles found online that some might not always go looking for. I think the only time I've ever written something myself was the starter guide I linked earlier, even then I received help from forum members and quotes websites though.

As for not wanting to upset the family, you're part and parcel of that family and in the same way that I'm trying to defend Dochsie from being publicly put on the spot, I will defend you too if I think someone's being a lametard and provoking you without cause.
