Depends on what you think constitutes disrespect. Most people aren't disrespectful. Most people.

GameRager: Wait...you haven't bought for two years? Then why still come here? I am not trying to be an ass, btw....I am truly trying to figure out why one would do so.
A: GOG might improve some day.
B: What we're doing right now. Other platforms either don't have forums at all, or don't have general forums.

Now... I'd made quite a few purchases prior to two years ago... so unless they issue some rule about certain amount of purchases I'm not going to feel 'dishonorable' about being active here from time to time.

As for the first part: It depends on what you want changed....if it's very unrealistic that might not be feasible.

As for the second: True enough

As for purchasing: Imo if one uses a site's forums they should at least financially support said site from time to time...just my two cents. To me it'd be like sitting in a restaurant or store for days and not buying anything. :|

If the things I wanted were unreasonable I wouldn't make a fuss over it.

Not that I consider what I'm doing 'making a fuss over it'. This is literally the longest I've talked about my 'boycott'. The only reason I've even brought it up is I think people like the OP should 'put their money where their mouth is'. They couldn't care less about people not using/boycotting their forums for a whole week or two. If they're going to lose business over something their consumers are angry about... that's a whole different thing.

I still own products from this site... hundreds of them. It's hardly an applicable comparison as the product is consumed at the restaurant. If the mods think differently they can take whatever action they deem appropriate. Not the end of the universe if I can no longer use these forums. Sounds like they're bad for some people after reading some of the posts here.

1. Yeah, you are likely right that a small "boycott" by a handful of people for a week or so won't do much....this is why I suggest social media(though some dislike it and how it's used here) for such.....one can make a big enough stink and get change if the bad ways such movements are used is anything to go by.

Also thanks for being open with me at any rate.

2. If you've bought tons of games then you've paid your dues, imo....still, I myself could never be that restrained.....I always feel the nagging need to grow/embiggen my backlog. :\

No, when she unfairly singles out and hunts people like me (who is disabled and has other maladies like weird random nerve pain) down which I am pretty sure is a violation of TOS of being a mod holding grudges or vendettas against certain users who are just sick to death with being tortured by SJW's and Feminists online and being called a paedophile and a rapist for having slightly different values.

When truth be told I am looking after two very sick (mentally ill / disabled) people who happen to be my parent and sibling.
While having no time for myself so I have to take sleeping time for "me time" which also gets interrupted when either of them wakes up it's more then a little frustrating which is also eating into my sanity and my health

I should own half a continent for the sh!t I put up with!

Fairfox: this is a trash topic, dont get me wrong, but you need to take individual action and stahp threatenin' to blanket close threads. thats just lazy
No point closing things without official input, else it never goes even slightly answered to be fair
