Thinking I was clever, I was going to update my signature with "First person to climb Mt. Everest naked", but then I found this article: http://adventure.howstuffworks.com/outdoor-activities/climbing/nude-sherpa-news.htm

Damn it.

I don't think anyone has ever killscreened DK in the nude.  Here's your chance.

If I Had A Quarter...

Unfortunately, I have no way to calculate an accurate Donkey Kong MAME playcount because I've reinstalled several times over the years.  Yet, with so many 5-minute savestate sessions during commercials, it's safe to assume my total playcount is over 10K!!  Add to that another 500 or so games played on an actual cabinet, and I have "spent"  $2,625 playing Donkey Kong.

I have won two Wildcard Rematches, and finished second in one Kong Off, netting me a prize total around $1,650.

Thus, even discounting travel expenses, I'm still a $1000 loser.  FailFish

Oh, but wait... Every friend I've made through this game is worth at least $1,000,000, so nevermind, I'm fucking rich as hell!!

P.S.  I finally registered for the upcoming DK Open, though I haven't dropped a single credit since the Kong Off 3 and am not sure I can even play that weekend.  Good luck to all.

Raw delusion.

Quote from: MDARULZ from CAGDC
unreasonable people don't change their colors...

As evidenced by the behavior of  <Pigger>.

It's too bad  <Pigger> ran CAGDC into the toilet.  It was once a vibrant place for CAG discussion and community building.

 <Pigger> is an odd mix of control-freak and laziness, so he prefers to spend his free hours making forum posts or having phone conversations to excuse his laziness, rather than actually fix any of the problems members bring up.

I do give  <Pigger> credit for at least addressing the concerns of CAGDC members, however, as alluded to above, his addressing of members' concerns is primarily to convince himself what a good job he is doing.

I'm going to join BBH and jump ship at CAGDC, but I want it to be known that I'm leaving not because the forums are dead, but because they're dead on account of the forum admin himself,  <Pigger>.

 <Pigger> is a behind-the-times, stubborn, close-minded, and ultimately delusional person.  I just can't support CAGDC in any capacity any longer (not that I really have over the past few years, but I'm now making my intentions clear).

 <Pigger>, if you ever read this, it's you, not me.  It's 100% you, and no one else.  It's you  <Pigger>.  Hey  <Pigger>, it's your fault, not the fault of your members.  You keep crying to get credit for all your hard work, but I've seen exactly zero evidence of any hard work.  You're lazy, and CAGDC is dead because of you.  You repeatedly blame its members for not posting enough whilst giving little recognition to your own failings, beyond accepting that you are behind on the scoreboard and new member approvals - but again, this is just stuff you say, and never do anything about.

R.I.P. CAGDC, and long live DKF.

I spent 1,5k only for the last Kong Off 3! (I paid for me and Alexandra). And I never got any money from playing DK (probably because I suck at DK (no homo)).

But it doesn't matter. Because money will go... money will always go. But the Donkey Kong title, will stay!

Fk that I don't even have any Donkey Kong title, I'm broke as fk! Fk this abuse im outta here!

Nail.  Head.

I have nothing to add to the above...  Actually, that's not true.  As a former two-time CAGDC moderator, including its first ever global moderator, I have lots I could add, but I've already wasted too much of my life energy on that guy, time I can never get back.  But I can definitively say this: "Where the players come first" is the biggest insult in this hobby there is, and the only mystery to me is why it took so long for so many others to begin to see that for themselves.

That is all.

As one of the '6' banned members I am glad to see the demise of CAGDC.  <Pigger> Ross is right, its not us its YOU. You can control your little corner of the internet and hang onto the last two or three members you have that post but your days of 'relevance' are long since over.

I know people are saying that the site has promise but I assure everyone, there is no future for this hobby in people like <Pigger>. Lets all move on, lets get something new going. We can data mine the relevant data from the site before it goes dark and we can again start moving in a positive direction.

no guys you don't get it, over-moderation and posting by approval is a good thing and actually HELPS forums out in the long run because


Edit: actually I should clarify. I didn't leave CAGDC solely because of the posting by approval thing, although it was the main reason for my infrequent posting there in the last year. Rather it was the straw that broke the camel's back, seeing that he has no intention of changing what he firmly believes to be correct. Existing members are getting driven away, new members are never approved (and nobody is going to want to pay money to register for an overly moderated forum where all their posts have to be manually approved)... that's not a good look for a community.

In retrospect, I should have seen the warning signs two years ago when he banned all discussion of Battle of the Arcades on the forum because he felt like the weekend for that event was chosen to purposely coincide with his own tournament. "Where the players come first", indeed! Good god.
