spindown: You know, GOG has recently started banning people for needlessly bumping super old threads. Franky, the admins are on a bit of a power trip and the moderation here has become rather heavy-handed. If you get banned from the forums you also lose access to all your games, so watch out.
That would be news to me.
Let's all cool off, here. Deathkitten, I would agree with many of the posters here that flooding the main forum with a dozen threads where you've simply bumped them with a "I want this!" comment is not exactly high quality posting, regardless whether the thread is six hours or six months old. You can post in the semi-official "official beg thread" or hit up the wanted list to express those ideas. If you have something substantive to add, feel free to add it to any thread that you believe it belongs to.

Further, personal attacks aren't going to make anyone any friends. Let's all take a breath and try to be civil.

Fuzzyfireball: Are you grumpy? If you are that means I can see into the future, which would be badass.

...Until I find out how I die...
Well, it's just now 7.20 here in sunny Warsaw, so I'll admit this was not how I hoped my morning would start. ;)

Yeah pretty much my main issue is that people were attacking me from the get go, and then the downvoting system... you really need to remove that because it just encourages everyone to be hostile to each other...
I understand things got off to a bumpy start for you here. Sorry about that, but welcome back to the forums. Please realize that we do read forum threads like the beg list and we do look at the wanted list (even still!), so it's not like your vote doesn't count. Unfortunately, wanting doesn't always make it so. We are working hard to bring you guys all of the great classics you could hope for, but it takes time for any game to arrive here, and some games may never make it to the catalog. :(

Every forum has its own unwritten rules of behavior. I think you'll find the crowd here is a pretty good bunch if you try to meet them halfway. ;)

Edit: pursuant to that last point, continuing to quote a thread about necro posting on a different forum doesn't equate to a solid explanation on this one. Since I'm more or less the only mod on these forums--when I have time and am not running the Marketing department--let me clarify: post on old threads if you like. No one here minds that too much, as long as you're furthering a discussion. Resurrecting a dozen old threads in an hour with a post that is more or less "get this game!" has the same effect on a forum reader as starting a dozen threads on that topic in an hour, which is probably where the friction comes from. It's not the fact that you are posting want threads. It's that you have posted so many.

michaelleung: You're lying through your teeth, there.
If you think the folks in this forum aren't a pretty good bunch for a random Internet forum with tens of thousands of visitors a day, you must be new to the webz.

Hi, welcome to the Internet. I recommend you avoid links to a place called /b/. Enjoy the cat videos. We seem to have a lot of them here. ;)
I have to actually get to the office, but let me leave the thread with this: name calling in any direction will make no friends. Flooding downvotes here on this thread is also probably counterproductive, since we're trying to discuss things. Let's all try to be civil for the next hour; if when I get to the office this has devolved further, I'll have to lock the thread, and no one wants that.
