Maybe so but it shows he listened and made an effort to contribute.

Actually I joined ages ago as I had an interest in the CPC range and I bought a 6128 and needed some advice as the disc drive belt needed replacing. After that I also bought a GX4000 and have taken part in a few discussions and even bought the CPR device on the strength of this forum.

Looking back, I also posted about the remake of Double Dragon that I was working on for the ZX Spectrum which I thought some people might be interested in.

I've mentioned this forum on the podcast a good few times, recommending to people. I honestly felt as if I was part of the community but obviously I was wrong.

You are a part of the community, maybe you have done things people don't like but everyone does stuff others don't like. Only what Markus or Gryzor says carries any weight around here, anyone else is just spouting their own opinion.

I can understand the issue regarding the spam, but there are people here (as there are everywhere) who enjoy causing trouble. I don't think they care so much about the spam, as much as having an excuse to put the boot in.

Yes, you used to post other stuff too, then you started posting ads exclusively. If you stayed an active member then cool, no problem, but... the fact that you were once active doesn't give you a lifetime pass; I think it only makes sense.

Maybe so but it shows he listened and made an effort to contribute.

...and when he actually has contributed, and keeps on doing so, he can share his news. But yes, I see what you mean.

Care to elaborate on this?


The way I'm reading it:
-there are people here causing trouble, but I do nothing about them?
-I don't care about spam?
-I just use it as an excuse to... what, beat up someone who's already down? (which would contradict the first point, because if I was looking for an excuse I *would* "put the boot in" with people causing trouble).


I truly don't get your comment.

[EgoTrip]

I was not talking about you Gryzor. Not everything CPC-related happens on here. Swainy knows what I am referring to.

[Gryzor]

I still don't understand, but okay I took it that "they" referred to me and Markus, since you referenced us before. No worries!

[Swainy]

Guys, the last thing I want to do is cause a rift between any of you.

At the end of the day, I've done wrong. I didn't realise but I'll try to be more active in future as a community member from now on.

I won't make any posts about the podcast as it's clearly an issue with some members.

[ivarf]

Indeed. So let me reiterate:

   
• If you're not a member of the community but you feel that you can use it, along with several other media, as a platform to plaster with boilerplate announcements every time you release something, then you're not welcome.

I'd guess this is clear enough.

I see what you say here, but this is several hours long retro/Amstrad related / community related recordings that it has been quite an effort to make. I believe it can be interesting to many here. Maybe he could have just one thread where he informs us of new recordings and what they are about, leaving out the picture if they are a problem.

I agree on that; I wouldn't object to updates when there's CPC-related materials, for sure.

[TFM]

Amen to that.
