The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
To prove a point.
Being a Notable simply means that people read your posts because you offer something.
Whether it's serious games orientated stuff by the likes of Pro Evo or the demented halfwit babblings of me.
But, a big part of being a Notable, is taking flak unlimited. If we express an opinion on another user, it's "Oh you think you're so special" wheras if another user expressed an opinion on a Notable, it's fair game?
As Snuggly pointed out, I was a loudmouth clown before becoming a Notable, nothing has changed.
However, one thing I'm not is an abuser of other users. I remember, Dark Mark, when you posted about being bullied and feeling low. Can you remember which heartless Notable applauded your bravery in being honest and tried to help you out?
When Drunk Cow started posting, he got slammed and flamed by 95% of you for "spamming", yet myself and a couple of other Notables asked him to stay and carry on. And he's turned into one of the most entertaining posters here.
We all offer something different, humour/serious political/techy games info/movie knowledge and we all have a laugh.
Occasionally someone rubs you the wrong way, but the best way to deal with it is to either make light or ignore.
As Mendax/Ripper/Insane Bartender pointed out, me and him clash regularly. However, I'll always read his stuff and enjoy talking to him. Ok, so I don't want to take showers with him or tongue wrestle - but we respect and talk to each with no hostility. Why?
Because it's an internet forum.
If you put half as much passion into the world outside as you do arguing about consoles, then worlds would be changed.
I got banned for a laugh to see what would happen.
It was funny and kept me and others entertained for the afternoon.
Which is the whole point of these forums - fun.
So lighten up, stand up straight and just enjoy it.
And yes, being a Notable does mean I'm better than you. But I didnt make the rules.

I dont have low opinions of anyone on here - I dont judge.
I just take each post I read on its own merits.

I already apologised to everyone else. I just felt it a priority to apologise to Goatboy individually because I imagine he was the one (along with me) who got messed around the most.
But seeing as you're called SHEEPY and I am Welsh, I cannot resist the urge to be nice to you now.
