With the sheer number of moderators in this thread, do you not think that this would have been brought up with the member if it were against the rules?
Let me know how you'd go about voting to change the site owner.
This site is not a democracy - no site is. The site owner sets the rules, everybody sticks by them and we enforce them where they don't. You have no more "democratic rights" than that which Jordan - and by extension, the staff - grants you.
Now before anyone goes "it's unfair we aren't a Democracy, first of all, GTPlanet is an internet site. It doesn't need a government system. Waah.
Second off, has GTP's apparent "single leader" system that bad? I have to say, if we had mindless idiots who had to finalize Jordan's ideas, well, the site would flop. There is nothing wrong with this "government." I might be biased (I'm a Communistic person....) but if the site isn't "tyrannically" ruled, then what sense does it make to change a fine working system?
Limited? Or another words, not a gigantic mish-mash of discussions. Nobody needs another totally open, no-limit forum with no defined pattern of discussion; all of those forums died years ago, or are totally limited to the tiny handful of users that inhabit it, many to the point where the conversation is meaningless and clannish to anybody else who wishes to join it.
There's so much whining and banter about the GT games that it's patently ridiculous by now. Half of the discussions in there are total garbage with no meaning and no solid information; we are in fact, limited by what is truly leaked/reported by reputable sources. In fact, after almost nine years on this forum, I'm still not terribly sure why people want to know every bleeding detail about a game before they play it. Where's the fun in that? Sure, there's going to be a few gaming junkies that aren't racing or Gran Turismo-die-hards that will be on the fence about purchasing a copy of it. Some of you wouldn't know what "fun" is because you've argued and trampled all over it and wept tears and made your fingers sore over trying to make fun things even more fun, or over-justifying the experience. Some of you are really bent out of shape about the most micromanaged of details that it makes me sick to my stomach thinking that there's so many of you that waste valuable time bitching about it and not out there in the real world, with real air and fuel and love and sounds and crash damage doing something with your ever-shortening and soon-to-be meaningless lives.
Wow. Everything I wish I could've said. It honestly disturbs me (and others) to see all these people file and scratch for every piece of tiny, worthless information. In fact, I wish we had no track or car list, it's stupid that people have to debate over that mindless stuff because they have no minds. I don't know what compels people to learn it all, I would have loved if everyone would've kept there mouths shut, and let the game come to me. That's why I loved GT4 so much. I didn't have a site to drool over and scan like an eagle for endless damn hours and bitch at other because they don't want to think like you, contradicting the fact that most of them, barely have mind to think with! The nonsensical crap that sits in there is simply put, blasphemy. There's such like "Veyron should've been Premium" or "GT5 Car Wishlist" that make no god damned sense because whatever they say, you AREN'T GOING TO CHANGE THE GAME. WHATEVER THEY SAY DOESN'T MATTER. The noobs can talk and talk like they do, like mindless little birds, but it isn't getting anyone anywhere! God. Just buy the damn game, play the damn game, and move on with your lives, INSTEAD OF SPENDING YOUR FREE TIME DOING NOTHING GREAT. YEAH, I'M FIRED UP NOW.
And 2JZ, I'd love to see what site you moderated. Because it won't be as good as GTPlanet.
Phew...been waiting for that one for a long time.
