AstralHeat.com WTF?!?

Tekken Zaibatsu is mean to new people? If you think THEY are mean, don't EVER post on shoryuken.com. They will tear your asshole out for telling somebody happy birthday. You can't be sensitive when you go to a new game forum. I think the new site was a great idea. Dustloop to me seems pretty unorganized and at least w/the new site, I know a good majority that are going to play it.

What you guys are missing is it didn't cost you a dime. It's completely free. You are acting like you had a vacant lot next to you that like you to stare at in your pajamas and now that somebody moved in, you're pissed. If you don't feel a need for it, don't go there. It's the same concept as porn. If you don't like it, don't watch it. I can't believe a thread was created when a few people went out of their way to try and help the community FOR FREE! Only the SC community would be sad enough to bitch about nothing

I have never had a problem with tekken zaibatsu that was just an example of what I have read here. I also don't see how dustloop is unorganized. I have gone there often, and I have never had problems finding anything. On your second paragraph you act like it is nothing but it is the same as the little war between Caliburforums and 8way, it divides the community. Except in this case you have an excellent site, and then you have someone completely new to the game come in and say your site sucks let's make a new one.

Yes, because 8wayrun and caliburforum REALLY divided the community right? How long did that "war" last, a month? 2 at most? Then, everybody came here. I still have PMs from players saying they will "never be caught dead" on this site from caliburforum and magically, they showed up like everybody else. People still found their ways to tournaments.

If the community "breaks" it's not because of a forum, it's the community itself. Yes, it's a pain in the ass getting everybody to move to one site, but the fact is, the blazblue thread was CLUTTERED w/bullshit. Flashchat, since the game came out, is dominated by BlazBlue. And that's great that there are so many people interested in it. So now if you want to talk about and find SC players you already know and are comfortable w/, you go to a site that cost you NOTHING! Me for example, I can go to the Hakumen thread and talk to other SC players and ask questions. Dustloop/SRK, I'll get my head bitten off for not knowing every frame and detail of the char before I speak.

If you are happy w/Dustloop, stay there. Nobody ever said you can't post there or view their forums. As for me, I'd rather deal w/people I know than strangers, if I have a choice.

There is a big difference there. Caliburforums was a shitty site that is why it didn't last. I've got another surprise for you, Flashchat is still BB central. I guess AH didn't help that. A sub forum or social group would work fine if all you wanted was to BB it with all your SCIV pals, but that is obviously not it. That is why Jaxel went and advertised his site on dustloop. Besides that crap about not knowing frames or what not in dustloop isn't not even close to as bad as people like to make it out to be. I have seen our threads here on 8way treat new people far worse than anything I have ever seen on dustloop.

It's not about ego. Jay was asked to make a BB site and he made one.

How come no one else is hating on the other BB sites that are on the web? I don't see anyone complaining about them or about how they are splitting the community.

Flashchat has been mostly BB centric because the game just came out plus the cost of having a separate javachat for the site. If there is enough support, there will be a separate one for AH. And the site is not going to fracture any communities. Right now it's mostly SC players now playing BB. And it's not like the members of Dustloop are going to all of a sudden abandon their site for AH so relax.

Some of the logic in this thread is pretty saddening.

I can't say much for TZ since I've never been there, but I really don't mind Dustloop or SRK. I'm a fairly new poster on those sites and I'm NOT being shunned. The only reason they would be a dick to you is if you posted something stupid. Thing is, that rule applies to every forum, even this one.

Granted, I think Dustloop has a better more friendly community than SRK. The load of "09er" insults are getting tiresome. However, considering how many stupid threads get made by 09 members, I can't really blame them, lol.
