Zod's the man. Nothing but good experiences with him.

Back to things I hate. Purple Lamborghinis.

SPGC gets blamed for everything under the sun. Funny thing is, others who weren't part of the group were making comments about the uncontrolled influx of threads from a particular member, too (and they were doing it in other discussions away from the Sandbox). Something like that gets noticed, and people talk about it...

I'd hope Dave considers taking a second look at things, but not sure if he's even interested. It was a fun ride while it lasted. And no, we weren't cyberbullies. There were a bunch of snarky comments (as there usually is on SSF), but there certainly wasn't any bullying.

Ya know just for the sake of discussion. I hope you all can get your thread opened back up but things weren't so "gentlemanly" in there sometimes. I got a little taste of it myself once for making a friendly suggestion and I was shouted down by most in there. A couple members were very nice about it but not the majority. I had also seen some others being bullied in there and the group was brought up in other threads because of bullyish behavior. Maybe the first part of appealing to Daves good nature would be to be honest that yes, sometimes certain members in there could be dicks?

I think that's apparently something others have mentioned. That's probably why it got shut down. I'm guessing this is perma-ban time too for some. Guys just need to mellow a little before reacting would be my advice.

I had a lot of laughs in there too. I'm not saying that bullying didn't happen but I may just have not been as in-tune with it. I'm not really a fan of personal bullying. I've seen jovial jokes and stuff but it appeared to be well received. But apparently missed out on the personal stuff.

I haven't been around very long but know there are some good guys in there. Maybe since I don't know the full history, I'm not as good of an advocate for having threads like that. This place is part of a community and it's natural to have many different varieties of personality. The biggest thing is learning how to tolerate each other. Overall, it seems that most are able to disagree and keep it cordial.

As with any means of life you can accept things when things are consistent and fair across the whole process which unfortunately it hasn't been. That's not me trying to cause trouble - it's a fact.

There's some great people in this place. Rules are rules - but it must apply to everyone not matter what their status is.

Did we have our faults? Of course. Was it closed down for reasons that other members/moderators have been doing for years with impunity? Absolutely. And I do feel bad for coming off a prick toward you.

Anyone we "bullied" from I recall, came to the thread just to start ****. As for the thread, leave it locked. It's a toy forum, and I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I'd rather not have the headache of the scumbags in this place, hovering over it, looking for any reason to report it. I wanted to post less here, and this is a perfect reason to, so in a way I'm thankful honestly.

The couple of times i went to the cantina i was harassed and bulllied by some of their members years ago... im Just saying. Where they just joking? I dont know.maybe? How can u tell between a joke and real bullying? I never went back there because it felt like a very close group.

HHC.

You know... I remember the few times I visited the Cantina they've been less than cordial. It's an old boy's hangout for older Star Wars members, and it's understandable. I think crows was also called a few names, but no one took it seriously - it was actually pretty hilarious . The fact is, as long as you've got more than one friends here, you're bound to form cliques and have your own hangouts in various places on the forum. Snake Plissken and Ryan Pliskin happen to be my best friends, so that won't change regardless if the thread exists or not.

SPGC was more or less a guy hang out that conducted itself the same way as everywhere else. We weren't without our faults, no one is. But, Lord knows, we were more friendly than some of the discussions in the movie section. The thread also happened to be the most popular discussion place in the Sandbox, and that's not because we were bumping the thread in order to fluff our post counts. It was just a fun place for Other Topic discussion.

I'm glad that Dave allowed it to stay for as long as he did. It's saddening that it's gone, but we had a good run with lots of fun and stupid memes. No hard feeling towards anyone, as far as I'm as I'm concerned.

I was glad when I saw the other Cantina-type threads open up. I used to post in the Cantina all the time. It is tight-knit but I made a couple of real friends there. I think those type threads are great for finding out who people are outside what dolls they buy. But if you're late to the party or new it does take persistance and a sense of humor to gain acceptance.

Truer words have never been spoken. I have some buddies in the Cantina as well. Also some acquaintances. I like to just pop in there every now and then. That's what's keeps me here though is the community. You guys are all fun to hang with.

I know im just saying how perspectives can be so different, for me the cantina was a place i did not belong and a place i could not really post. It felt hostile, But for u it was a good place and u got along with everyone and u like it.
The same way i felt i could post in the gentlemen's club and for me it didnt have the hostility cantina had
But since i wasnt really accepted in the cantina and not welcomed and i was teased, should it close? What about all the people that love it?
Im just saying. Some of us like solidus mentioned were not treated too friendly over there. But i just didnt come back and that was the end. The cantina goes on and i stayed here in the sandbox.
I never took the cantina bullying seriously, but maybe i should have? I understood they were joking and i was a pleb outsider but, maybe not?
Who knows maybe now i could try to post more in the cantina lol. Maybe things will be different now.

Nah, everybody can be a **** sometimes. People got really pissed when I think General Zod had a little prank run in there. I've been a ****. Still mostly good people. But it comes down to finding where you have the most common ground.

 

[FSLAR]

Things I hate, huh? People who cant spell Plissken or Pliskin.

Careful now, you could be implying a specific member or members You know what I hate? People who cheat at games.

I hate that anything like this even needs to be brought up on a toy forum and that the people in charge don't communicate with members. I appreciate all the kind words though.

I can't state this enough - it's a toy forum. Why does so much of this madness happen here? I've been part of different forums with different purposes/appeals, and while drama got bad, it was never like this. And I hate that. I hate that so much drama/insanity happens on a toy forum

 

[Solidus]

It actually doesn't surprise me that so much happens on a toy forum . Collectors... yeah, we're a special breed of weird. Some more than others of course.

I informed Flosi of what I had planned for the Cantina when everyone was at Celebration, and he didn't have a problem with it. I never would have gone back in there if he say he wasn't cool with it. I tried to participate in the Cantina before then, but as others have said, it's not very welcoming--which is fine. I agree with you, at some point everyone in this forum will find the people in which they have the most common ground. It's unfortunate that some get a designated thread and others don't though. At the very least, everyone should still fall under the same rules. Either you can have separate social threads or you can't. Allowing one group to have one and then denying others the same opportunity isn't right.

All the group threads should be done away with, or, at the very least, sent to the Sandbox. Only fair.

If people want their clubs, all you do is go to your profile name, + create group, and get people to join it. It's private and you can talk about your day and everything!

Most of the mods here are inept though, as well as the administration. The great mods this site does have here, and there are quite a few of them (you know who you are) can't do **** because they're limited by section.
