What is this sorcery?

[Guntz]

I don't think a new Sega forum or enthusiasts website will trump the quality and popularity of Sega 16. This site has really blossomed, and the forums are far more popular than when I first signed up.

We also seem to get a decent number of quality noobs, which is unusual.

I don't know about you, but I for one would take a noob over a troll any day of the week. A noob you can teach and eventually, they will learn something. A troll is the total opposite.

Wait, do you consider me a noob too?!

You are a quality member in my book.

segaage? why not just tack the "s" at the end of it? then it would have that cool mirror effect segaages

What kind of cynical world are we living in that a guy's got to have a point to everything he says? Sheesh! Does "post count" mean nothing to you people???

Post count does mean nothing, but your sarcastic point was well understood.


It would be different if you said:

"Sheesh! What Kind of cynical world are we living in? Does post count mean nothing to you people?"

It's 'missing something important that is key to making it readable', conveying nothing but confusion on your part, and inflicting some sort of grievance towards the rest of us who have no clear understanding of what in the hell you are talking about.

It's not a cynical world at all, having a basic expectation that when someone tries to voice a complaint, that they 'figure out what they're trying to say' before saying it.

"Post Count" lost all meaning for me about 5,000 posts ago.

Like how "rep" is meaningless for me.

If you guys didn't know, there's already a (somewhat) competing Sega forum: http://forum.sega16bit.com/
There's also the corresponding Sega8bit too. (opposed to SMSpower)

Segaage has been sitting idle for a good while though. I highly doubt it would be anything liek Atariage (which is a good bit more like Sega-16 IMO), Nintendoage seems a bit more average though. (at least more reasonable than a lot of other nintendo sites -namely ones filled with fanboys and such) They'd need some good, dedicated membets and organizers for the site, not to mention time. (but again it doesn't have an open niche to fill other than being more inclusive of other sega consoles with specific forums as on atariage -and there's a ton of SMS/Saturn/DC discussions on sega-16 already in spite of no dedicated forums)


I was going to make a detailed agrument but instead I opt for:


Oh that, and Zoltor has no understanding of factual video game and computer history and seems to not only buy into vague generalizations and misinformation, but also spout it himself. (that applies both to Atari and Sega... and Nintendo)
That and he never even elaborated on why "segaage" would be a problematic name in general. (the assumption would be that it would be rather like Sega-16 but possibly a bit broader -at least in the aim, not that it would necessarily work)

What are you talking about, Sega didn't support the SCD, 32X, or the Saturn (well atleast the Saturn was supported in Japan, but otherwise notta, those scumbags didn't even release 2, and 3 of SF 3 outside of Japan).

Also 2 years or less is not supporting a system.

Why thank you. That means a lot to me.

... You understood my point, right?

That domain is takin.

www.anime.net has been up for at least 11 years or so with nothing there.

I will support Dain & Melf..

If "Post Count" doesn't matter how about how long have you been to a forum??

[Knuckle Duster]

I've been here for a long time, and I've contributed absolutely nothing of distinguishable value to the site or forum.

Way to oversimplify things.
-----support wasn't the problem in general, there were many other issues... many of which had limited support as end results, not causes of Sega's problems -SMS had poor marketing in the US and a fundamental against nintendo's established support in Japan, Tonka helped a lot but that was in '88 and they'd lost too much ground by then,
-SoJ probably didn't support the Sega CD as much as they should have from a number of perspectives while SoA pushed the multimedia angle too steeply in marketing and overlooked some of the broader sections of the library, but it still got a respectable library of ports and exclusives
-32x and Saturn and Saturn in the US thereafter was an ungoldly mess of a situation
-Saturn died rather early in Japan too compared to PSX and actually fell behind the N64 in Japan by the time the DC was released, DC was great and had a few foibles that could easily have been overlooked if not for Sega's weak position and Sony's massive dominance; Nintendo got lucky managing to skate along on previous success and brand name in the west to some extent, not to mention not exhausting their resources like Sega had by '96 (so a much healthier marketing budget among other things), but it was the handheld market that really kept Nintendo going -and it's still their biggest market.

That doesn't address the even more inaccurate statements about Atari either.

But either you're trolling or misinformed, or both, so unless you're interested in typing out a rambling abbridge history as a counter argument, I'm just going to stop here.

Was NES World popular until NintendoAge came along
