According to Wiktionary.org:

to flame (third-person singular simple present flames, present participle flaming, simple past flamed, past participle flamed)

1. To produce flames.
2. (Internet) To post a destructively critical or abusive message, especially to provoke dissent or controversy

This is real, I'm not joking. System Shock 2 is an overrated game. The graphics is outstanding for its time but the gameplay is lame. HL1 is far better though it has less attractive graphics.

as long as its not like Quake 3. I played that for the first time recently, and it drove me nuts. Old games only are as good as the personal nostalgia they inspire.

The only reason u replay old games is for story or gameplay, cause their graphics quickly become obsolete and no longer the best. So a lot of these games whcih are now put and have only graphics, i bet they will be forgoten, cause they have little replay value.

Wouldn't it be a better idea for you to simply ignore threads that offend you? TBH, this topic seems to be about you acting-out and crying for attention. Why else would you link it in your sig? *lock-it*

I put it in my sig so that people can see that there is an alternitive to flaming in threads where the op really doesn't need that. I guess I could try to ignore the threads that have nothing to do with the op's question but often times I find my self sifting through page after page of worthless posts. Part of my aim in this thread was to remind those that do flame of how retarded all of those comments are when taken out of the original thread. You can call for a Lock if you want to but all that will do is reaffirm my belief that Anandtech video forums don't help the new builders as much as I believe they should. When I go over to DFI forums they have a rules list that helps new members learn what is accepted and what is not. They also don't have all this flame nonsense. I found out just what I needed to know without having to look through pages of "NV is better" "No! ATI is better"

Acting out? Yes. I have had it with flamers. Crying for attention? Yes. To the situation.

There are individuals who would rather flame someone's comments because they believe its their right to do so, whether young or old. About 90% 0r 95% of comments can be construed as opinions. No guarantees or insurance coverages offered. Its the OPs choice to follow what he/she believes the best for one.

All of us can be nice and respect others opinions too, especially the newcomers who need to be welcomed. Some newcomers are surprised at the fact that aren't flamed and treated rather nicely. If we can all continue this atmosphere, wouldn't it be grand.

I maybe all wet with this, but what the heck I know, some people would say that I'm absolutely bonkers......

You can't be serious with this BS.

You HAVE to realize that there's absolutely nothing you can do, short of not reading. If anything was going to be done it would have been done by now. As it is, you just seem like another would-be forum nanny, and that's just as bad as flaming in my book. No offense intended, but that's the way it is.

The first two times I played SS2 I hated it as well. Respawning enemies, weapons that break down, and many annoying enemies. However, it is certainly one of those games that you just have to get the hang of. After a while the game really does get better and now I'd say it's one of the best ever. What part is annoying you in particular?

Thank you HardWarrior for your suggestion but I do not plan to just sit on my hands. You may be right and this thread probably won't do anything to curb the flamers from posting nonsense in otherwise good threads, but I had to give it a shot. If not then how could I comment on the flamers. It's kind of like complaining about the president when you haven't voted.

I think you're all id10ts, you creat a thread to flame when the only reason to flam is because you think the other person is stupid or you know better.

Anyone who makes comments about how ppl with few posts are nooobs and dont know about their pc is utterly ignorant. (I bet 95% of your 3000+ posts are garbage or flames in off topic)


enjoy

Welcome! You have just joined the band of idiots that are actually 11 pages into a thread and still on topic!

You're words of wisdom and maturity have changed us forever though, and we will now exclude ourselves from this thread for the sole sake of pleasing our new forum God, smopoim86. His words, "Ignorance is acceptable, stupidity is not" will be the bible I fall asleep with, and his insight has enlightened me in a way that will keep me from posting ON TOPIC like I have here. Also, I will go to "flam" every Sunday....

Serioulsy dude, why even post that? Are you such an egotEsticle that you've got to try and make some ball-hair sprout? You don't like the thread, don't post. But that would be the smart thing to do instead of attempting some e-Viagra.

This is already a thread that's too long :music:

I "haye" people who can't speak or write a language they have grown up with.

I forgot to edit - since 'y' is just beside 't' I'll take it as typing mistake. And no, I didn't grow up with it - I'm from DK.... :)

I think I deserve a :beer: now - cheers :laugh:
