It's a compliment to HTC

[Westy MOL]

... when people from several different game communities come here to these AcesHigh webboards in order to flaunt or tout what they feel is, or will be, the best.

Oh, I don't know, sometimes they just want to share excitement they have about something they like, like I used to when I visited AGW, but they took AH as a threat (as well they should have looking back now!)...so, some of its gloating, some of it is just sharing an excitement.

[Westy MOL]

Well.

There's some of that in there too. Some.

Of course.. some of it is just people trying to convince us <and themselves> that they have gone on to greener pastures.

I don't really mind it except when they slam HTC when doing it.  There's just something that irritates me about someone coming to HTC's site and ridiculing them or their work.

I use to play Red Baron 3D, then I came here.

I didn't go to the message boards or anything proclaiming I found the ultimate WWII combat simulation and it whooped RB3D's ass.. Me, Wab and DJ flew here for a while and convinced a number of our squad mates to come try it out.

THe only people I care about giving information of a new game to are my squad mates, and those are really the only people I expect to be telling me about newer games.

If you just drop a note about a new game and leave it at that, giving me your view (I only need to read it once to get the jist of it) on the product then I got no problem with it. BUT to come to HTC's own UBB, using their webspace and bandwidth to advertise their new toy repeatedly and relentlessly is like me going into a Toyota dealership saying "TOYOTA SUCKS!!!! THERE'S A AWESOME NEW HONDA AND I HAVE IT RIGHT OUTSIDE! C'MON GUYS SCREW TOYOTA, CHECK OUT THIS HONDA!!!"
