			There's a board missing.. I personally like SX. I am excited about VGR. They are doing some interesting things that SX does not have.

I think a lot of you need to be a little bit more fucking grateful for everything Iceman's done for you. Thanks to him, you've had a place to gather and a place you more than likely got free games through. So STFU and be a little more fucking curteous. You're using resources he's paid for, so stop being so damn rude.



And that sentiment goes to a lot of those folks "waiting on VGR, so I can jump ship." You should appreciate the fact that you have a place to gather and hear VGR news until the site comes online.

It's not so much the lack of gratitude, it's much more that it's become a place where most find a great deal enjoyment, and isn't rife with the stupid nonsense that populates other boards. It's a place that one could be proud of being associated with.

However, an FTP forum changes the meaning of SX drastically. Before, it was a site that was dedicated to the memory all things Sega - now (at least, in my mind) it's seeming a fansite based on the fact that there is easy proliferation of Sega games. And as someone else pointed out, the content on SX is somewhat lacking, so for an outsider, it's only a glorified warez/abandonware site. Taking that outsider perspective again, if you take away that forum, what is left of SX? If you're not one to visit the boards, then there isn't really anything.

Granted, the stupid nonsense that was occuring before when the FTP board was open isn't happening now. Ok, it happened for a short duration, but is now over. Hopefully it'll stay that way.

			There's a board missing.. I think these boards contain too many people that are long winded (including myself) and that everyone just needs to chill and go with the flow, the constant bickering and negative disscusion is almost laughable, it's a message board on the internet and we act as if it's a battle zone : : Also i've asked before, but never gotten a clear answer, who is paying for VGR?? Who's dream was it?

stop being so damn rude.

You tend to make valid points Chakan, but I feel you should probably take your own advice before anyone will start respecting them. By the way, your site's looking lovely these days with the new layout and all.

I think maybe the problem people have most is that the staff created a poll to let us voice our opinions, provoking debate, only for us to be told that what we thought didn't matter and that we should all shut up.

It seems as if this whole thing is a brush off to those of us who are still here because we love the site. We stuck around through all the crap with Mysticales, Skank and Revquixo, the FTP section going and it coming back because we are loyal to the place and we like to talk Sega. Instead of bringing in new content to the site to make it more attractive and bring in more traffic, we instead find that the FTP section returns as a sort of quick fix to bump up the active members (at least that's the way it looks). To feel like you don't matter at all to the site is kind of shitty given that we're the one's still here after these weird months.

Yeah, I know, crank out the violins

			There's a board missing.. That's good to hear . And anyway, we're Sega fans, we get a lot of practice complaining and being bitter.

			There's a board missing.. Remember the days when we used to battle agains the SNES gusy over which was better the Genesis or the SNES? Ahhh, the memories!

			There's a board missing.. How about a total site overhaul? After 2+ years it's a bit tired looking. Besides, there a couple decent photoshoppers here, I think. --- As an aside, it's kind of sad that people are willing to host FTPs but can't host content on the site itself.
