This is you. Yet in your entire posting history here all you have ever posted about is video games. If you care so much about those issues, why have you never posted about them before?

If I was posting about those topics in SA, I wouldn't be making GBS threads all over the threads. But this is you.

But.... the plot does thicken.....

Remember, this doesn't exist.... So... We busted culprits before.... so who are the culprits now? And can we bust those within our own forums?

I think there is a rinse and repeat that may happen.

I am sorry folks but we busted viral marketers trying to promote product before. I guarantee you it is happening here. In this very thread.

Loon? For sure. That's the first point of deflection, But I remember a time when our users were against viral marketing. But yet now, with proof it happens, why are we now all of a suddenly against it?

I am not even against promoting this title. I am against the PC marketing mishap that a few have tried to deflect. I think it is time we take back these forums.

The Angieslist of video games. No more viral crap goes on here. Hell, I'll give Rich 50k out of my own pocket. We will have one place whwre people can go and get the truth about the industry, games, and lock out scumbag amazon reviewers without verified purchases.

This thread showed me the same familiar usernames. The same familiar comebacks.

How short is Chapter 3 of the Witcher 2? The city seems quite small compared to the previous chapters and there don't seem to be many side-quests either. Though this isn't a bad thing as I wanted to complete it by Tuesday.

Also geez the game really just throws the best armor and weapons at you in this chapter huh.

This forum could be the vanguard of a new age of gaming. A paradise where gamers can come, sit, discuss gaming without the taint of marketers, shills, PR execs... A place where ethics in forums posting is a reality, not a dream.

Join me, and we will usher in the future. Together.

But we must start by purging those who are not commited to our cause - those traitorous, amoral "posters" that infest every thread with their trolling and their vile deflections. See how they call me insane? How they all jump on me like starving jackals? These are our enemies.

I have PMed the admins a list of names. We will see if their mods are paid or not.

For sure!

I think it is time I talk to Rich about this site becoming a true gamer site without the viral marketing.

Gamers are looking for a site where they can go and get unbiased truth without the shout downs, massive posts to displace real concern for readers..... The anti shill site.

And I think that this forum will be the best for it.

Revenue will triple. And no longer will Vanilla Gorilla, Poptart Fairy, or some of the other culprits be left to stay and disperse and dissuade.

I mean poo poo, it was a running tally that box revenue would increase at least 1k boxes with that Starfleet dental group from the MMORPG forum. I know of 3 marketing departments (EA, SOE, Funcom) where they actually paid for that poo poo.

The grass is greener on the other side. Probably time to make that happen.

It's pretty short unless you're intent on doing all the different possible paths, which could add up. There's also a neat optional quest that lets you respec if that's something you want to do.

Very short if you just follow the main story. A fair amount of - completely optional - content was added for the Enhanced Edition.

Well, you brought it up that we discuss this outside of PM's. I was just talking about how this site could generate more revenue.

I guarantee you with this base, we get rid of the shills, send the rest of "Starfleet Dental" packing, quit being an advertising site for publishers and shouting down huge mistakes where the consumer gets hosed.... I can only guess at this point that there are a lot of people sick of it, and would rather come here to hear the truth rather than anywhere else where they knew an outburst didn't happen. I mean, just a suggestion. But you wanted to bring it out here so I guess I will publically ask?
