DISCUSSION ISN'T DRAMA.

from kentonafrom IllustriousI think we are pretty good about it! Honestly, I think most people are starved for it but will not stoop to pleading or groveling for reviews.
So, how does this site feel? Are we better for reviewing peoples projects when they did not ask for or may not even desire it?
I say write more reviews, Illustrious!

Every blog I post here is re-posted as a new post on the forum topics my games have on other sites. I've had good responses and bad responses (in terms of quality) pretty much everywhere I post so, although I love gamepages, your point is invalid.
No, it is really not. Having to sift through a bumped forum topic at very sloppy forums like RRR and RMRK (especially RMRK) is nothing like being able to click on the blogs link and selecting a subject that is interesting to you regardless of how you spin it. There is nothing quite as effective as the notices tab for comments at any of these sites, either.
Additionally, your blogs and posts are short and not what I'd call very good discussion topics, so I am not sure how much you are expecting in terms of commentary - though in spite of this you did get get six quality reviews by RMN users, some of which might have very well been in precipitated by your blogs. On the other hand, a great deal of your commentary at RMRK and RRR consist of mods citing you for 'screenshot violation', people bickering over broken links and people asking really dumb questions like 'is this rm2k durhur'.
Yeah, sorry, my point is not the one that is invalid here.

I have re-upped interest in reviewing games as part of my participation on this site. In doing so, I am showing my support for not limiting discussion, However, "drama" here is certain developers not desiring unlimited discussion.
I can't say for sure where Max McGee fits into all this. I believe he is genuine when saying his intention is taking a stand about an assessment he feels is not fair, but he can't seem to respond in a way that doesn't show he is experiencing some butthurt. I doubt it is just me who perceives this, but it does appear Max is one of the more easily offendable people in our community.
A few years back I tried to cater strictly to the crowd who wanted to hear my god-honest unbiased opinion of their games. I did not want all the screaming from those who were not able to handle me being constructive. I had a reviewing series called "Review by Request". They were not unsolicited reviews so I never got any of this "Well, who asked you for your two cents" attitude. So, how does this site feel? Are we better for reviewing peoples projects when they did not ask for or may not even desire it?
Wait you are still like, around? I remember you (I think).
