GM freaks who come here to make fun of GE. what do we do?

Indeed. A forum is a public place and any opinions are welcome. Like any forum or blog, it is up to the administrator to remove non-related subject matter. Personally, I don't think there really is any problem. There are always some people on the net who post when they're angry. I've done it plenty of times.

But if anger is all that's there, and nothing is being said relevant to the forum, then the content should be removed, no different than if I tried to advertise my porn website on the forum.

Also, "ignorance is bliss" is a very old saying, one of those 'simple wisdom' sayings, like 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush'. Its been around for centuries. However that doesn't make it true. The individual decides whether or not it is true for him/her, and that decision is a reflection of that person's direction in life.

If they post any freak message, just report it and makslane will delete it.

The Game Editor forum is a place to learn about game development. Is not a place to fight.

Then, for what "friends and foes" in UCP anyway???

[Bee-Ant]

Oh yes, I agree with Gogo ignore them. (esp Automail)
He just want make himself popular here, so everybody stop discuss about him anymore. (this is what he wants)

I don't mean to make an argument, I mean how can we decrease the amount of GM freaks who come here just to make fun of GE?

[Bee-Ant]

We dont kno whoever the GM user here.
First, let them here...to post topic comment or something, after we know that they're GM user...ATTACK!!!

Does this even happen? I think I've seen two posts about GM vs. GE. Why be so offended anyway? Maybe I'm too old to care about those kinds of things anymore. I've been working with people who argue Linux vs. Microsoft, Java vs. C++, Ruby vs. Java, PHP vs. Perl, Stripes vs. Struts, MySql vs. PostgreSQL, Oracle vs. Sybase, Sybase vs. SQL Server, .NET vs. Java, Yahoo vs. Gmail, ... yawn. Chooce your own tool and be quiet about if your so worried about what other people think.

(Apparently I have two accounts.)

[j2graves]

we're tired of it. u c, automail20 was the limit.

Out of curiosity, I looked through automail20s posts and didn't see anything interesting. Even if someone says they hate GE, who cares? Are you making good games or not? That is what matters. If someone writes all their best games with VBA in Excel, then great. My only question is, where can I download the game?

[makslane]

I've erased the offensive posts.

[j2graves]

if u look at automail10's website, u'll see a link that says protest and it says some rediculous stuff about makslane. they are total lies and I feel sorry for makslane cause of it.

Ah, I see. Is this all because of the $99 tab for GE? Yeah, I think it was expensive - and I paid it.

Oh, well. I still don't think the game community should polarize between GM and GE because of it. I like them both. Let me be the great uniter of the GM/GE. "Make games, not (tool) war." That's my new quote.

[Kalladdolf]

hm, I have bought GE's pro version for real money and I still don't regret it.
and that's what I told automail10.
I think his article is badly written and because of this incompetence people will most likely not pay attention to it.
I'm not worried about it.
So, I continue living happily ever after... using the pure pwnage software in game development history:
