Stop Bashing

[William]

You all say that MS is dying, but you guys are the onse killing it. Stop bashing on the new members, if I see inappropriate comments towards new members from now on I will take action.

You must not be paying attention. The only time we bash on them, is when they start acting disrespectful towards us.

Btw, I assume this is mostly directed at me. Secondary, would be Tony.

The worse you could do is ban me. Second to that, is warn me.

[William]

I've seen more people starting to behave in this manner and it's unacceptable. New people say weird things but they can't establish a base in the community if you don't let them.

[Acruno]

April Fools?

[William]

No not this time lol.

[Tony]

Bash who? Didn't anyone ever hear what goes around, comes around?

That's what KruSyPhy got. Crucified.

APRIL FOOLS?.. :mrgreen:

I think that this is how MS is. It's the personality. If you try to change it YOU will be the one killing MS.

Agreed. If they show us a reason to respect them, we'll do so. You see MirWraith came in, very respectful and nobody bashed him. It's not like I target people or anything. When I do that, you just end up with the product of Nean. Lol.

[William]

If I remember reading his thread correctly his more than 20years old so of course he knows how to behave. Just because members are young and unexperienced doesn't mean they should be put down. I'm just saying, I won't tolerate stupid replies if there's not a good reason for it.

Maybe there should be a "Newbie Friendly Board" for them to be safe.

I'm pretty sure you were all 12 year old asses when you crawled to Elysium. I actually remember some people on the forum being them, and mirage users forgive and forget and take who you are now.

If you think about it, 85% of the Konfuse/Elysium/whatever the hell we called it users were whiney 8 year olds at one point. But now you're at MirageSource's site, most people do not know you were that, and most people do not care that you ever were, but do not try to act like you were not young in manor at one point, and do not forget that most people here now started asking questions about scripting that WAS LESS COMPLICATED THEN VISUAL BASIC. Give new people a chance to get used to it like you did, if they are still retarded later, then bash them.

You cannot say "this is how the community is" because for the longest time even the most experienced coders such as Verrigan and chased put up with the lowliest of those ever among us and helped them out.

[William]

Well said!

[Doomy]

i was never like that i never bash anyone and i joined at 18. I really think its just two things that is not keeping people here.

1. Bashing
2. VB6 is old, outdated

If you want people to stay i say convert MS into .net, C++ or something else that is actually new. When and if you do so i say to update to DX9 Then advertise as the worlds first .net open source ORPG engine

[Ravuya]

there is a project out there to convert it to c++ and another to convert it to vb.net but neither are really getting anywhere.

[Doomy]

ya i know those are out, but i doubt they will ever be done.

[Matt]

I bash when people attempt to bash me. Unless it's Rian or Dugor. I bash them for fun.

Doomy your an idiot for saying convert to DX9, some people don't even know DX8 yet.

DX8 is more than enough for 2D games like the ones people are trying to make.

[Doomy]

i only said dx9 because it is newer, if dx8 is easier for people then by all means i say use that one. Im just taking about flexibility. converting the engine would be better and bring more flexibility.

[Pbcrazy]

flexibility...eh

being up to date, and something more people would look into, is more likely.

DIRECTX 8 IS MORE THAN CAPABLE WITH COVERING A 2 FUCKING DIMENSIONAL GAME

Can you read that sentence thoroughly please?

Flexibility? Do you even know what's the difference between DX8 and DX9.
DX9 has high-level shading abilities (not needed for 2D games built from mirage), some other shading shit,
and improved animation capabilities.

The point is that a 2D game does not need all that much and people play 2D games because either they like it
or their cards don't support DX9.

[GIAKEN]

The only point I would see moving to DX9 is if it was faster / easier to use / uses less memory or something...

[grimsk8ter11]

*Cough* Most things before dx9 are soon loosing Windows support *cough*

Just a heads up

[Doomy]

Another reason I said to switch anyways the main point I was doing was to get away from vb6 and dx7

Vb6 is as said supported for another 10 years.

I won't touch any other language for at least a year.

[GIAKEN]

DirectX7/8 isn't guaranteed for that long that I know of...not sure how much longer hardware will offer support for.

[Robin]

Dx9 would be good to port to.

Has DirectDraw, and can make a kick-ass hybrid engine which would be very flexible.
