It's just another dig, without anything having being done to quantify it.

Sad.

I've pm'd ColinD as I know he's a good lad to ask him the reason behind this.

It trully saddens me that middle-aged people can act this way and be so overtly hostile over so much time over trivial matters.

One day soon I look forward to being in the same room as them and bashing this issue out- hopefully like responsible adults and gentlemen.

 

[IDCHAPPY]

I don't know the story behind it and probably never will, but it does seem a pretty low thing to do

.
Ok it maybe abit quieter in here but new folk are joining all the time so it will soon liven up, hopefully with good folk that like VAC

 

[virtvic]

VAC? That's my hi score name

 

[grobda]

I think they've shot themselves in the foot with this one, in that it shows beyond any doubt what kind of people run J+.

 

[system11]

No small group of people has done more to fragment and destroy the UK arcade community. I had hoped this was all over. It's more childish than the censor by far.

That censor is crazy stuff too

 

[IDCHAPPY]

The thread is live over the road, not sure if there's much point getting involved though

 

[Alpha1]

I can't see it? Probably been deleted?

 

[ben76]

What is it all about anyway or shouldn't I ask?

[system11]

If you're not already involved, it's better not to be!

Shoutbox give abit of the insight into it

I could ramble for ages about what a shame this all is. I almost just posted a small novel, but it's not really worth it and it's far too late for long posts.

It's very sad though. This kind of stuff brings down the whole community in my opinion. A real shame, and poor form from those concerned.

Here's the locked thread on J+, I have found it.

http://www.jammaplus.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30851&title=oopscouk

My summary:

1. Dsyde publicly states no responsibility on his behalf. Yet he gives the power to the person that has done this as a Forum moderator. My opinion is that he could tell Aran to sort this out, but he shows here that he won't.

2. I thought Luke was OK. But he just goes on about 'not ukvac again!' without realising it is their members that are raising these questions. He seems oblivious to the fact that Aran is quite literally stoking the fire. Appears to be everyone elses issue other than Aran or the Moderators on J+.

My opinion is that Aran should be removed as a Mod, and someone like MuddyMusic should be put in his place. Aran has let the power get to his head and his unbelievably childishness is coming through from it.

We are fathers, we have careers, we are all over 30, and yet this is handled like kids on a playground.

It is quite clear the perpertrators are the J+ lot. Aran quite clearly, and unfortunately Luke and Dsyde do not appear to be reigning him in, which in my eyes makes them just as bad.

They are forgetting what makes J+ is it's userbase, not them, without their userbase I think they will come back down to Earth and being humbled quite quickly.

I hope Replay goes ok, I could see a punch up after a few beers if people aren't careful.

 

[Alpha1]

I would also like to add, that ukvac.co.uk has quite clearly been registered because of the press coverage it got recently. So this isn't an 'anyone can register any domain' issue like Dsyde quite clearly puts it.

It's a deliberate attempt to push traffic through to them.

J+ has a lot of activity with shows like Replay and others, far more than UKVAC has ever had. I don't see why this is deemed necessary.

I cannot cotinue contributing to a forum that is run by a load of f**king idiots anymore, this is just depressing me.

since the j+ thread on this got locked, and aran invited pm's, i sent him one;

You're not doing yourself any favours with registering *oops*.co.uk. its interpreted as being underhanded and childish, and a lot of long-term enthusiasts active on both sites think you've gone too far.



you could be a man and do something positive about it... maybe you would get a little respect back.




from previous communications you always seem to get angry and defensive at any suggestions of reconciliation, but you could end the hostility, it would benefit the community, it would benefit anyone with any interest in videogames, you have that power to do something good! but instead you carry on this petty little war. its boring.

Holy crap he said that?

 

[gridrunner]

The guy is a cock. jammaplus.org and jammaplus.org.uk are both free

He comes across as a bell end of the highest order
