Internet Drama - Мatt - 05-25-2013
I haven't had a rant thread in a while and I know most of you guys enjoy them so I'm going to hope to make up for the time away and with recent events, I give you my rant on "Internet Drama."
So apparently, a couple children decided to attack our forum over a "ripping" of their theme. Well here's my question. How the fuck is it a big fucking deal? Like in all seriousness, you dump money into a forum that on average won't last more than 1 year of full activity, will die out, then will have a "re-birth" phase and no one will deliver and all that money will go to waste. Now this is a generic thing because I see that with most new forums so if this other forum has been around longer, then my apologies. But even if it doesn't apply to you, what does the theme have anything to do with internet problems? Webs.com offers templates for free for websites. So if someone has my template, should I run to his house, fuck his cat, burn his daughter, and eat their hamster? No! It's a website and if you were really mature and knew how to actually run a website, you'd simply email the admin of the other site maybe asking a couple questions and if it really offends you, address the matter to the admin and maybe work something out. Otherwise, it's a fucking theme and it's really isn't a big fucking deal. There's so many graphical and colorful possibilities for forum layouts that eventually, one is going to have "similarities" to others. I'm pretty sure everyone on MyBB that designs knows what's out there and wouldn't take credit for someone eles' work without proper credits given. I've been around long enough to know that with "good" quality members and not just a dime a dozen like most forums and MyBB has good quality.
Now on for more bullshit and yes, this kind of stuff irritates me hence the foul language being very much present unlike my other rants. Just things like this between childish and arrogant people annoy me and require a lot of maturing in their future days. If you're really going to attack someone over the internet because they hurt your feelings, then you either have:
- Too much free time
- A far too sensitive soul
- To get the fuck off the internet
No on a more professional term, I've run many forums before and e-drama really makes an Administrator's job very hard. From keeping the community active with upcoming events, new add-ons, traffic management, and so much more, I don't think he wants to be a baby-sitter either. Forums want to have fun with their members and bring others in, no matter who they are, why they're here, and anything else that separates the men from the boys. Just learn to get along with other people and if some are really that bad, then just ignore them and move on because in this world, you're not going to please everyone and you're not always going to have the best reactions on everything you do.
TL;DR - The last couple of days have been lame and all I want to do is post on DZ and have fun here. I've put some money into this forum and don't want to see it die. I like what Blue has done and I know he could use some roughening up around the edges when running this place, but he has great potential along with Uzi who I know is top-notch Admin quality make this a great place. Also Pal, you're a fantastic member along with Krew and tdog. You're all great, but these guys have been eye catchers to me.
STL;DR - Fuck drama. Let's push on.

I don't want to see it die either.
It was quite immature that they decided to attack us for ''ripping'' their theme.

If you want people to stop attacking you, let it go and laugh whenever it comes up.
Saying shit like this means they are winning by annoying thus continuing it.
Let it go & just enjoy it when it ends.

I pretty much said that. This was just a rant. I usually post here.

Well if I was the one attacking you, this would make me do it again.

I know attackers feed for attention. Again, I pretty must stated that in the thread. I can hide any sort of frustration, especially over the internet. this was just something to fill a ranting thread since I used to have a topic once a day and with recent events, I thought maybe some people would enjoy reading it.

I know, i know but just saying, whoever was doing it, will enjoy threads like this.
Well, i actually only attack people who annoy me, rarely will i boot a website. It all depends on the person who can boot and whether they are power greedy.

Ah alright I was taking those post out of context, my fault. I thought you were trying to prove a point that I had already proven.
I just don't attack people at all. I get called a push around, but I just don't tolerate childish antics and just stick to my guns. I can just put things aside and move on. I was also given a lot of patience and I know that's hard to come by in most people. Lmao!

I don't have time to read the entire thing, so I'm assuming it's in regard of the recent downtime of DZ.
I do agree that this drama is unnecessary, but I can definitely see where the people doing it are coming from.

Well, jealous kids will be jealous. It is what it is.
