"Newbies, Regulars, Notables, you're all pathetic!"

I'm sorry but this has to be said.

First of all, I'm not a representative of the Nintendo forum. I'm a member who, although is passionate about Nintendo, likes to talk about games and life and such. Sure, most of the time I talk about Nintendo, but if you look closely at the forums, you'll see I've ventured into the X-box forum, the Sony forum (though only on rare occasions). Infact one of the only forums I never visit is the WWE forum cos wrestling doesn't interest me at all!

Secondly, you're all taking this too seriously! It's just a message board, nothing more! "Oh no, we've got 15 members with a gold name who are supposed to be better than us, surely the number should be reduced!" Grow up! Do you realise how jealous you sound? Ok, so some of you who are saying this are Notables. What's wrong with others becomming Notables too? Is it because they're ruining the exclusive club of better members? NO ONE IS BETTER THAN ANY OF YOU ON HERE! You're all just names on a message board - don't take things too seriously!

Thirdly, I've heard lots of spiele about how being a Notable meant something ages ago. Well as far as I've always known, it's just been a popularity contest! Nothing more! Being a Notable doesn't mean you're more respected - that's absolute rubbish! All it means is that on such and such a date, you were the most popular member.

Fourthly, As I've already said in Turbonutters forum, what does it matter if there are lots of Notables. Surely if they were voted in then they deserve it! Do you really want twice as many elections on these forums as before? Do you really want the notable system to actually take over the whole 'chatting about games and life' scene? Take a look at the forums today. For the last three days, all that's been mentioned is "Notable this, Notable that" that you've all forgotten about games! Sure, some have taken advantage of this and started topics in Prime to try and win whilst everyone is pathetically talking about trying to get their names in gold. But this would happen even more if you have another voting system going on!

Here's some advice - Prioritise. Think of the important things in life.

Edgy, most people actually agree with you.

(Well, I do for one on the whole.)

:-)

I agree with Edgy (just like I agreed with Grix in the other topic!)

Well said.
I agree about the popolarity contest bit, but who actually wants more elections? that would be stupid?!
A single week every three months where we all discuss each other rather than games is fine by me, and most of the other people who don't take it too seriously. Now we can all get back to talking about games/monkeys/making sexual innuendos, just like we normally do.
Oh, and don't forget to ridicule JATs, n00bs and fanboys.

Those who do agree, you've got some sense.

Those who don't need to get out more and breathe the fresh air.

Edgy - I aggree.

Talk about games/Consoles or whatever now :)

Gamecube/Xbox/PS2 Sucks, you know what i mean :)

I agree. What is the big ping about it? Goatboy said it himself. I only vote for me.

I wouldn't say congrats on your notable election cos' you're right. There isn't a point in it. And, its just a poularity contest.

*ahem*

Why two days after a notable election do we always get the new notable trying to appeal to us common folk?

Take your new found power and abuse it as much as you can.

I would have said the same thing as a 'regular' too. After all, I don't actually feel any different, not that I expected to.

Wrong. We had to vote someone in, in the same way neither Bush nor Gore deserved to be president, yet one of them had to be voted for.
