This is for Spike.

. You need one.

Has something bad happened (sorry, these days I'm quickly checking the repo but not the forums), or is this just a message of appreciation for Spike's hard work on this site? In any case, thank you Spike for this wonderful site!

Well, it's not truly an internet forum until it manages to have some drama at some point.

 

[Zerpina]

Yeah honestly. Spike deserves a free pizza and a cold beer at the least, or his drink of choice.
People need to take the drama either to the DMs or go back to whatever echo chamber they came from. I'm here for old games and goofiness, not a bunch of drama.

I *like the rest of you i am sure* have enough of that BS in real life honestly.
And I'm sure Spike does too.

*Hugs for Spike*

Just keep the negativity to an absolute zero man. This place is a place meant to chill at. Leave the fighting to the sandboxes. We're all human beings here. We're all from different walks of life. We're all struggling in some way some how. Just be mindful.

Like I said in an older thread, Spike is like the video game Santa Claus but every day of the year. If you are mean to Spike, you hate Santa Claus.

*Edit* Sorry, i forgot to add this to the other post
And a lot of the people who want to start drama for shits and giggles need to remember that Spike has no obligation to keep this site going.

Aggravate him enough, and he might very well one day say "Fuck it" and turn the server off.
Yes, there are other places they could go to start their nonsense, but I highly doubt any other site will be as laid back as this one. And you would get instantly banned.

Now I want to see Spikes Avatar in a Santa Claus Costume thanks for putting such Ideas in my Head ;)

I think a lot of it unfortunately boils down to the fact that it is the internet after all, unfortunately.

It's entirely possible to have a nuanced and respectful conversation and discussion about gender in games (I don't know the context of what sparked this initially so just speaking from experience)--I did an essay for university on Gum's representation and character in the Jet Set Radio games, so it's not like it's impossible to talk about the way in which women in games are portrayed, or how even gender roles are used or presented in certain ways.

Of course with more fanatical groups popping up in the gaming space regarding "wokeness" (a silly concept at it is), it becomes much harder to have proper dialogue about representation in games on a bigger forum such as Twitter or the like, it's mostly better off in smaller places like this where people will be respectful of each other for the most part.

[Pandaprewmaster325]

Gotta say Thx spike for making it possible to download games.

But really what happened? "I'm done" thread and all? Didn't this happen before? Like thrall would say "WILL YOU HUMANS NEVER LEARN?"

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

We love you, boss!

And I can say that freely because you aren't paying me ;D

I think Spike's going need a cold one... or two.

I (like several others) am here to have fun, browse the Repo and chat with other users. There are other places that are more suitable for drama.

Sadly you don't search for Drama as Drama searches for you,it must be very tiresome to be a Mod sometimes,luckily they put in the effort to keep this Site Civil and Free of Drama.

Don't tell nobody but I heard there's a guy named NotRetroCrawler90 thats going to reimburse that €15 on Friday

 

[Grumpy_Old_Man]

All I can say... What happened to the basic "rule" of discussion, you need to "attack" the arguments, not the person.
Venting frustrations on others is not a healthy way of resolving differences.

 

[RageBurner]

It is expected that most people should be able to discuss things with maturity, but the truth is most people don't want moderation, just entitlement to echo.

Spike is a great guy and I'm glad to be able to be part of this community.

 

[hazys]

I do want to thank Spike because I can't imagine how much work goes into maintaining this place, just out of love for games. RGT is an invaluable resource and also a great community.

Mr. Administrator rather Spike I send you the thanks for having founded this site (And in addition to being the Spiritual Successor of the veteran ᏟDᏒ and also of NicoBlog) and thank you for the Conservation of the retro games even if they are little-known or forgotten games (and the same goes for all the Repo Curators of this site as well as those of ᏟDᏒ), also for sharing good and not so good moments throughout this site and as well as the forums and threads as well and I also send you a hug for you Mr. Administrator I say Spike .

 

[eyixon]

Thank you Spike, and everyone else here for making this possible. I always wanted to play the retro games i wanted to as a kid, but couldn't since we didn't have much growing up. It's been a dream come true for me to be honest.
