HunchBluntley: Don't bother. Cyraxpt has become little more than an angry troll. I assume the only reason he still hangs around is because he still has friends here, but he has long since stopped being a positive force in the general forum (if he ever was), bringing bitterness and toxicity wherever he posts. I've learned to just skim over most of his posts.
Cyraxpt: Then prove me wrong. If i was an angry troll as you say then you would have created mayhem in this forum a long time ago, do you think that Tauto & company shenanigans are a problem? When a real troll appears with the right knowledge then perhaps people like you will understand how pointless the "positive force" is...
You castigate the staff for so often remaining silent when problems (or things that you perceive as problems, at any rate) arise, and then you snipe at them on the occasions when they
DO show up. You complain about everything that's wrong (or that you think is wrong) with the site and the forum, yet when they do make an undeniably positive move, you are utterly incapable of just saying, "Well done this time, GOG," and leaving it at that. Instead, you go the "Yeah, great...now when are you gonna fix this other thing?!?!" route. I literally don't think you're capable of being objective or constructive where GOG is concerned anymore, and I really do wonder why you continue to hang around here, given that you've stated in other past threads that you no longer patronize the store. And, since I don't really see you ever posting to help (or banter with) other users, you can perhaps see why it gets more than a little old.
Don't misunderstand me, it's not that I have a problem with fair criticism (of GOG, or anything else). There are quite a few other members (HypersomniacLive comes to mind) who are pretty vocal and frequent in their criticisms of GOG, but in an even-handed manner, also giving positive credit where and when it's due. Even apehater, paranoid prick that he is, at least sometimes still contributes positively/neutrally in the forums. And, to be fair, maybe you're a swell, light-hearted guy in some of the "forum game" topics (which I don't participate in), or in specific game subforums that I never venture into. But I haven't seen that Cyraxpt; I see the perpetual complainer. I would genuinely love for
you to prove
me wrong. Failing that, I wish you'd just move on and find a better place for you to hang out that won't cause you to poison yourself with bitterness over something that you can do nothing about. You say positivity doesn't help; maybe not, but neither does incessant, venemous whinging (especially when you harass individual staff members as if they were the architects of everything bad about the place). I'd rather hang out in the same old "broken" forum with nice people who realize that a video game site should be
fun, than in a perfectly-functioning, feature-rich forum full of bitter cynics and angry assholes. I admit I was wrong to call you a troll, but the net effect of the negativity engendered here by you and a number of others (each with your own differing versions of "what is most wrong with GOG") is every bit as damaging to the atmosphere here as the depredations of the more sadistic individuals who troll these forums.
