Why Is this forum so dead?

[CapMaster]

fatboy is right. Couldn’t have been said better.

I do check this forum every day, sometimes every few hours. He’s right that in the everything ST thread, it can get tiring having to read through endless blabber of people making ridiculous statements. After a while of seeing nothing but that, people’s will to read will weaken.

I’ll also cosign fatboy on this. I’m actually pleasantly surprised that a lot of the drivel in the STHD thread hasn’t spilled into here. I too check this area almost every day and I like the quality over quantity of posts here :tup:

I still love ST over 3s…I’m going to get the Dreamcast version sometime in 2008

I’ve started getting back into this game -so I’ve found everything that’s already here so far quite helpful. If there’s more I’m sure people will get around to posting int in the future.

I saw your post the moment it came out. I really did not want to say anything. But, in all honesty it shows that you are not a regular to this part of the forums other wise youd understand how the ST forums workLOL Not flame intended. There is a lot of activity in these forums, yet it might not show up in “Number of posts per day.”

I check these threads several times a day. I love’em. As I am sure nearly every poster in this thread does.

I think you made an honest observation about the forums. However, one point you are missing in your post is that the ST community is very close. The posting fools come and go, but the true ‘players’ are always here.

I think tons of things/topic can still be discussed. However, I think honestly, the ‘players’ here get tired of the “How does character X beat every character in the game” questions/threads/posts, and the “Character X total better character Y” discussions.

Why is this you ask? As soon as we offer an option or point of view we get the brilliant argument of “OMG! WTF! You fucking @$$! Ur Rtarded! I pnwz dudz on Kailera all the time. I beat my fndz Sim all the time with Fei! Get a life! U suk, I roc. I am t eh bomz!”

Then we offer a counter argument to their brilliant exhibit of intellect, and then we get:
“DUDE! Get a life! It just a game. I don’t really care.”

Then to drive a real point of frustration further, is that this b/s will not last a post or two it will go on for PAGES (the fool will argue with EVERY other poster) and ruin a perfectly good/informative/educational though a slightly inactive thread.

The irony of it all is that if they used the search tool, many of thier questions would have been answered in the several other threads. That coincidently where ruined by the same type of arguing.

It takes a lot of work from posters to write and contribute good/informative/educational posts to a thread. We do not want to sabotage our work, and our community by answering every fools post and getting pulled into these lame arguments. (See SFHD Thread)

So, what you are left with is a forum filled with great posters who all have great information to contribute to the community, but only do so when an intelligent topic/question comes into play.

I would rather have that, than a form of babbling arguing fools who really know nothing about the game. But feel the need to validate them selves by trying to win an illogical argument based of false assumptions over the internet.

To end all debates just get the Yoga Fire Book, american info is always flawed in some form.

Isn’t the Yoga Hyper book an AE book, or is the ST info reliable for ST. I was going to grab it at Evo, but Veteru snagged it from me before I got a chance to get it.

It seems more like YOUR info is flawed… Before you try to come in and “End all debates,” you should at least know what you are talking about.

I am normally not a person to throw mud and am not trying to flame. However, you just single handily undermined all your creditability with one post.

People here would love to here what you have to say… even if it is wrong… as long as you present yourself in an intellgent manner.

However, you critize our efforts, and then give/provide the best example of the issues you critize (misinformation) yourself…

I don’t get it?

Thats a very good question. I would like to know this as well.

Regardless though, you should definitely get it. I got it for the hitboxes alone, but for all the extra stuff they pack in there, it was worth the $60 I paid for it. They even have a page about the Youtube video with Daigo caught sleeping on a park table

Sorry Saisyu, but you do lose credibility when you incorrectly reference the book. I do see where you are going with the American info is flawed in some form statement, but I dont think that was the best way to articulate it. Nevertheless, even with the Yoga Book Hyper at one’s disposal, I dont think this will end all debates simply because although it is an invaluable source for information, it doesnt have all the kinds of nuisances that can be possibly covered in the game. That is why this forum exists. We find information, we communicate information, we test the information, and we repeat the process ad infinitum. Sometimes were right, sometimes we are dead wrong and get owned with words for it by people who know better (and hilarity and embarrassment ensue). But thats just SRK.

I think once SF2HD comes out the interest in SF2 will resurface, however there r to many good and newer games on the martket and SF2 has already been outplayed.

[System_1]

I mean , honestly , 3s is nowhere near as good as ST , however thats just opinion. But still , this forum is unbelievably dead , and does not do justice to ST , we need to make it better and even though i’m an unknown noob , i think something needs to be done.

If you think that this forum is dead then just check out Mortal Kombat Online or The Realm of MK

His credibility was destroyed when he made a post saying you can’t dp through meaties in the SF4 forums.

Just goes to show you that even though there isn’t a ton of activity in this forum, it is needed. Badly…

[System_1]

Yup i leech off of the information of the SF veterans here. Honestly though, this SSF2T thread is much better than the tekkenzaibatsu character threads (since the ttt days) where a lot and i do mean a lot of spam and dogmatic dialogue ensues.

Let this be my moment of appreciation to the guys who know what they are talking about in this ST community. I am sure you had a great influence in the SF scene in your area.

CHEERS!
