QueerRudie Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Robb- _brandon_ has been a huge pain in the ass for a long time now- and being an ass is what he does quite well. If anything: Look at how many people DO appreciate your help (Myself included) along the way. Many of us do appreciate everything you do- and continue to do well- more than you can imagine. The shits are all pissed off now that they realize what they've lost for being immature children with no real lives. Now they want to vocalize about it. Fuck them. _Brandon_ , TMH, et al. are just sorry examples of humanity- and in all reality, if they think they can do better elsewhere, let them. None of them have the resources, the wherwithall, or the integrity to do it. I'd say that were simply getting rid of trash that needed to get taken out sooner rather than later; it just happens they're being total dicks about it. Let them fester in their own world of fantasy- while we run the best site on the net for the people who DO appreciate things being done your way- and for the common good. I say: a little TPR ExLax is getting rid of the backed up shits. Flush, and we don't have to worry about them anymore. R.D. (An appreciatve one who KNOWS why you do this- and can't ever say "Thank You" enough for it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 ^ I totally agree. What these people don't realize that they are doing is "natural selection" - the more idiots we can weed out of the forums, the stronger the remaining members are going to be.... Thank you Darwin!

djbrcace1234 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I don't think users understand that TPR is not really a game forum, and so many expect it to act that way. Still, it's so stupid, on both sides to let the fire burn... This is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) ^ At least our side is in private moderator forums and not in public making our members look dumb. But you're right, they are comparing the "games section" of TPR to a dedicated gaming site...that's not apples to apples....

djbrcace1234 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Exactly. It just irks me how so many people "hate" you and TPR. Everyone I've seen ban have had a good reason to be banned. Kids... They have to bitch an moan when they lose something. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 ^ Most of the time I don't mind the hate. It's like when I posted that quote from Social Network in RD's other thread. In order to have haters, you probably have likers. And in most cases the amount of people who "like" are going to be way, waaaaaay more than people who hate. And if it means I have to put up with a little bit of grief from people, then it's a small price to pay for having a really fun, awesome, tight-knit group. What irks me is when I go out of my way to help someone, and then they shit on me. That sucks. But it's par for the course...really... *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks that you have to deal with these fucktards, but every one banned means one less potential idiot causing trouble here or at an event or on a trip, so that's a plus. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) Just got rid of another one.... Just deleted all my files I had on the TPR exchange. I wonder how long until they remove the delete feature? I can't believe I used to respect that guy... WTF did I do to that guy??!?!

QueerRudie Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 At this point, I think it's a few people just trying to get revenge to look 'cool' to his fellow exiles... And for that matter, he did all his own deletions... All three of them. "Goes and grabs the bottle of formula for the babies. And some new diapers- as apparantly, they've filled them up."

robbalvey Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Matt, I'll let you deal with this one: http://www.shyguysworld.com/index.php?topic=6179.0;msg=144350 I thought this guy liked us or something? Don't we give his site a lot of support here? Perhaps you should send him a PM and let him know that if he doesn't start being a bit more professional, we'll pull all links to his site and create a filter so that no one can link to him. This is just stupid. I'm not playing these childish games. I have an event on Saturday that I need to prepare for. I don't have time for this....

robbalvey Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) Matt - can you post this over at ShyGuysworld? I'm sick of this shit, and I want to at least give them one final comment from TPR. And seeing as how you posted something already, if you could do it I'd appreciate it. I don't want any stupid "website wars", but since it's all one sided over there, I feel the need to at least post something (even though I know it won't help) I really want it to clear my mind.... Thoughts on this post anyone? --------------------------------- A message to Shy Guy's World from Robb Alvey - Let me squash a few rumors right here and now - First off all, Theme Park Review DOES NOT ban anyone for having a different opinion from our admins or moderators. We WILL ban people for a bad attitude, creating drama, or causing problems for our admin staff. This includes, but is not limited to trolling our site, using another forum to create drama, or posting disparaging remarks with the sole purpose of being mean spirited and hateful. In short, it's not what you say, it's how you say it. There is a right way and a wrong way to present your opinions. Do it the right way and you will be a respected member of TPR's community. Do it the wrong way and you'll find yourself complaining about TPR on another forum because you've been banned. It's that simple. I cannot make it any more clear. We have a strict guideline of ToS Rules, this part is true. But we DO NOT ban people for "no reason" at all. If you've been banned, there is a reason for it, and you probably know damn well why you've been banned. Stop pretending that you weren't the 'bad guy', suck it up, and just admit you were being a douchebag. As for the issue about posting links that started this whole wave of pointless drama...we have a specific rule in place about posting links: 14. Posting Links or "Spamming" - You must have at least 50 posts if you want to create a post which sole purpose is to link to your personal website, update, YouTube video, forum or any other website. If your post count is under 50 posts and your link has not be pre-approved by an admin or moderator, your link will be removed. Please note - links to your website in your signature are acceptable. Let me just make one thing perfectly clear - Every member who registers with TPR agrees to these terms. Everyone. No one person is above the rules. If you don't agree with our rules, do not register for our forums. There are many other forums out there who have less stringent rules, and if those rules are more to your liking, I encourage you to join those forums instead. Having said that, there are exceptions to every rule, and some people have contacted us in advance and asked specific permission, which we have granted. But if you're not willing to even extend an email to us ahead of time, and work with us, do not expect us to do anything for you in return. As far as how we treat other people? Well, let's just say we treat our members exactly as they treat us. If you are a respected member of our community, you will be treated with respect in return. If you are creating drama for us, we will not tolerate that, and you will be treated in kind. I have zero patience for people who are rude, obnoxious, troll our site, and post pointless drama on the internet. I have already read on this forum insane accusations and quotes that were completely fabricated. If you think you can say those things and not get banned from TPR, then you just shouldn't be posting to TPR anyway. So who cares? Why does it matter? If you hate us, don't post to our site! I'm guessing you hate us because you think we are cool (and we are) and everyone wants to be part of the "cool group", but now you're an outcast. And who did that to you, huh? It was you. Take some responsibility for your own actions. As to how we handle those members, well, as said by one of my favorite authors at 27bslash6, "the internet is a playground", it was put on this earth to have a bit of fun with, and maybe, if you're really lucky, extract a bit of information from as well. TPR has always been known for having a bit of fun, poking fun at others, but mostly poking fun at ourselves. You need a sense of humor to read TPR, and if you have one, great! You'll get along with us just fine. Do I have a sense of humor and thick skin? Absolutely! But I'm not going to put up with annoying stupid trolls. There's a difference between being able to take constructive criticism from someone you respect and having an obnoxious Chuawawa gnawing at your toenails. One of them I can accept, the other I'm going to kick. And yes, you guys are the dog in this situation. But if you don't have a sense of humor, if you take things way too seriously, if you create childish drama for us, then don't expect to last very long on TPR. In short, TPR is not a community where we want the "most members", we are a community where we want "good members." If it means you have weeded yourself out through natural selection by doing or saying something stupid, that's your fault not ours. Play nice with others and you'll be welcomed at TPR. Be a dick, and you'll be treated the same way. As far as TPR's games forum and exchanges goes - We don't need anyone from SGW. We don't need the content. We don't need the members. And we certainly do not need the attitude. We aren't a "games community" we are a "theme park enthusiasts community" and games just happens to be one of the many things we are into. Just like we have a video sharing section in CoasterTube or a photos uploading section with the Park Index. Some people think that our game exchange is meant to compete with the dedicated games sites. It's not. It's meant to be an extension and an added feature to those people on TPR who want to use it. It doesn't matter to me if 10 people or 100,000 people are using it, as long as the people who are get the value out of it that they need. We didn't create the exchange to compete with any other site. We created the exchange because our users asked us to. I just need it to service our members. And that's what it does. What amazes me about this whole thing is that it all got started because a guy named Jordy, whom I don't have any idea who his is, did something that went against our site's ToS. We didn't ban him. We didn't ridicule him. But it was everyone else, including many people on this forum who gave us grief about it. And I simply don't care. The site rules are what they are. Everyone follows them. And if you want to ask us about doing something on TPR that is outside of the rules, then talk to us in advance about it. We aren't mean, horrible people. We are very approachable, provided you are professional about it. I'm not one of these people you can "ask forgiveness" from after the fact of doing something stupid, especially if you're acting childish. But I *AM* someone if you ask permission, I'll listen, and usually grant it. And for me personally. I just simply don't have the time to put up with pointless drama and stupid crap. I have way too many things going on both at the website, in the amusement industry, and in the video games business to be dealing with stupid drama. TPR has a huge following of respected members, parks, and ride manufacturers, and if you think we "need" a handful of people from ShyGuy's World for TPR, or even our games forum to thrive...then you're mistaken. We have events to work on, theme park tours across the world to plan, videos for parks and ride manufacturers to produce, DVDs and Blu-Rays in production, our quarterly magazine to publish, and so many other projects that have put TPR as the #1 theme park and roller coaster site on the planet, that I just simply do not have the time for this crap. Oh, did I mention that I have a family also? Yeah, I'm a busy guy. I don't have the time or patience for this. So if means I have to ban everybody from "Shy Guy's World" to end this stupidity. I will. Because everyone in this thread who has posted has shown me they are not someone we want on TPR. Not someone we want at a TPR event. And not someone we want on a TPR trip. And that's fine. If you don't want to be part of TPR, we don't want you to. We're not forcing you to be a TPR member. We would much rather you be part of another group. We don't mind at all. Why would you want to go to a party at some dudes house that you know doesn't like you? Doesn't make any sense to me. Anyway.... And for how I speak to people or things I say? Dude. Deal with it. It's the Robb Alvey sense of humor. It's my style. Who doesn't use F-bombs and call each other retarded when they are joking around about stupid crap? And all this stuff over the past 24 hours IS stupid crap. I mean, do you guys not realize that I WORK in the video game industry? I used to hang out with Chris Sawyer? I knew him long before RCT ever came out? This is the stupid shit we do. I'll tell you, watch the movie Grandma's Boy and other than the hot producer chick (because I play the role of the hot producer chick...and trust me, I'm NOT hot), the rest of that movie is pretty much spot on. We're all a bunch of grown up kids. Same thing with the theme park business. Dude, when you're in the business of video games and roller coasters for a living, sure you take it serious when you have to, but we are making "fun", and dammit, we're going to have "fun" while we do it! So if someone who is a member of some nerdy video game fan site watching Robot Chicken and Family Guy is going to get that butt hurt over me using words like f**k, anal, c**t, turds, tits, lube-a-thon, semen, tuna taco, gang bang, willie the one-eyed wonder worm, and retard, then they should just dig a hole and bury themselves in it, because they don't got a clue about how much fun life is supposed to be. Go drink a beer and bang some chicks!!! Take that diamond out of your ass and let loose a bit. Don't be such a Kim Pine. Anyway, enjoy your forum. I'm glad you have a great community and a wonderful games exchange. We don't hate all of you, but we're not going to put up with crap from the people who are giving it to us. If you love TPR, great! But if you hate us, leave TPR the hell alone. --Robb Alvey ps. And to Krypt and gci2011 - I think some of the stuff you guys have made up that I said is pretty good. You've almost made it sound like it would be something I'd actually say! One day, when you grow up, maybe you should be writers! pps. Oh, and I realize that, while this message is actually meant to be as serious of an attempt T explaining TPR's side of things as I can make it, this really is only going to serve as more fodder for the pathetic trolls on this forum. Which again, is another reason why we've banned you all. If you were half-way decent trolls, I'd probably have let it slide....but c'mon? That photoshop job of me as the devil? LAAAAAAME!!!!

robbalvey Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 So to everyone that registered a troll screen name, and to all the people we've had to ban, I've actually sent the server company a list of IPs and banned them from the entire server, not just the forum. Still haven't decided if I should post that message above or not. While I'm slightly irked by the whole thing, I'm also starting not to care....

A.J. Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I would post something over there myself (I have had a user account over there since like...early 2010), but I really don't want to fuel the fire. I just don't understand why this sort of thing is happening - shyguy is a great custom scenery creator, but that's no reason to trash-talk our site, which is still extremely young in terms of our roller coaster game exchange. How old is gci2011 anyway...like 17? Stupid high schoolers, always causing trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
