EDIT 2: No kidding Spyrobaro. It will be this site's downfall, in my opinion.

How come no one in the Skylanders section goes to Stuff and Nonsense?
The site is ALREADY bad. And that's how I like it.
Especially ever since spyrocynderfan7 was banned. Now I have a lot of respect for this site.


I do!

Maybe its the fact that your making your assistance to others public?

I know that my assistance to a forum member has not gone public by my mouth. I also know that without my assistance, this person would not have what they do have ( in a little bit ). I also know that there is more than a fair bit of trust on this persons end and for that I am grateful to have earned that trust. I also know that if it wernt for the assistance of another forum member, this person wouldnt have everything they are getting as well. I am not going to come out and say who or what is happening, I will leave that up to them if they so choose. I will say this, I havent said anything about my assistance as I dont feel it is necessary. I also dont think that anyone involved in this should say anything either as it will seem like a "look what I did. Aint I awesome?!" I know that most consider me an a-hole, and thats fine. It has never bothered me what others think of me. I know the truth, and the people who gain my trust and are apart of my life know the truth.

meh, i guess i don't deserve a reply and we don't deserve to find out the information then ?

.... and this is just my opinion on this particular comment

if you have genuine new good interesting information, just share it ... that's what any good person would do without expecting some sort of reward in return

trying to blackmail someone by dangling a carrot doesn't come across as the best way to endear yourself to fellow skylander fans


There is no dangling a carrot, by keeping a hold of my info. There is no reason someone being ridiculed should continue to support a site of constant ridicule.

I just tried deleting all of my threads. Sadly, all I could do, was close them. Bummer.


gamesmaster how old are you 5? there are some people on this site that do not care whether you are bragging or not i think your collection is awesome although imo a tad excessive but to sit there and say oh i have information that could be helpful just because some people are "hating on you" you wont help anyone at all if you was a "true fan" you would help out other fellow fans whether there are douchey people on this forum or not

Personally, I'm not offended by someone "showing off" there collection. Or by "bragging" how they can get 4 of each kind of Skylander. Good for them. They obviously work pretty hard at it and have some collecting know-how in order to accomplish such a feat.

It would be one thing if said collector posted his/her collection with comments to the effect of "Mine collection rules, yours is terrible." Or ridiculed others for having inferior collections, but I don't see that happening anywhere on this board by any member.

GM posted his collection in his own thread on 12/2/11. He reposted it in the "Show your Collections thread" which was created 5 days later. That seems appropriate since an pseudo-official collection picture thread was created AFTER he posted his own Collection thread.

The only other "Here's my collection thread" he posted wasn't about his collection. It was about recognition he received for his collection from a game developer. Again, I don't see any inappropriate action here. The topic derailed when others commented how they grew tired of seeing post about his collection.

Just my 2 cents.... continue on.


Domer



This. If I had the money I would buy 4 of everything too. I truly believe anyone annoyed by GM's collection is just jealous. Why shouldn't he buy 100 Cynders? He's not scalping them. He has every right to purchase as many of whatever he likes. Activision are to blame for poor stock numbers. People need to stop whinging about how this is "unfair" - this is the real world. Get over it. Try to appreciate the time and effort it took to accumulate this collection in the first place and how impressive the recognition is that it is getting.

Toys R Us in every state surrounding us has wave 3. Not us, though. That shows how bad of a distribution problem there is. I was talking to my manager friends up at TRU last night, who told me they believe Activision fabricated this shortage as well.

My kids got all of wave 3 before I did. My daughter was enjoying Cynder while I couldn't. The only person I got frustrated at, was Activision.

Keep doing it; or others will get to you. You have good intentions, so why bother let others bug you? I'm not defending you or anyone, just saying the truth. Think about your threads before you post them. And I think if everyone here had the Skylanders they wanted, they wouldn't be so snippy at your collection. I'm sure not.

Whoa

From what i have read this is how i understand it and please correct me if i am wrong

Gamesmaster78 has a great collection which he is proud of and pretty much everyone on here would love to have so whats the issue in letting others see it ?

Then GM78 helps out others on this board (and if they are on here then they are obviously big fans of the game) to get skylanders that they want and he is berated for it, So what if he gets more than he needs ? at least he's helping users on here , there is only a limited amount to go round at the moment and as far as i can see no profit is made from it . cmon people here in the UK we cant get hold of any of the new Wave 3 yet my sons cant wait for EOI to be released and i've looked to get a Volcanic Vault in game but none have them.

So far all i have seen from posts by GM78 is him giving help where needed so why the problem ?

Just seems as if some people are just jealous but thats life so just make the best of it that you can.

Just all need to get along!!!!!!!!!!

of course they didn't and anyone that believes this is stupid

the skylanders concept was actually started 4 years ago. activision specifically chose a manufacturer that could produce millions of toys a year.

what doesn't help supply and demand are "collectors" that won't wait, even when they know there is a shortage and they simply must have their 4 of each character now.

GM we will miss you here in this forum but I also frequent the other one so will see you on the "dark side".

We have not always seen eye to eye but I would like to think that we have discussed things rationally. I have often supported your stance on things and seen your perspective.

For the record I do see the thread you, Tash and I have contributed to as bragging but I, frankly, don't see anything wrong with that.

I do wonder if anyone out there would be altruistic enough to have only one of everything until the furore died down and then purchase the 3 other copies of everything when the items are in abundance?

I tried to leave here many times, even do what you're doing. It never helps. People will always think you're butthurt, or then start to call you butthurt, until you shape up and mature.
/of course i never think i will/
/but i know you can, you're a grown man/

Anyhow, ignoring the situation/saying you're going to leave never helps. What you should do is drop it completely, and then never mention any part of it ever again. Soon people will forget, and only the trolls will mention it to ty and get you to scream again. Just drop them, too.

tl;dr: Just drop it completely, and not mention any part of it. Drop the trolls and keep your opinions to yourself if you have to. Because here at DarkSpyro, NOBODY can take an opinion no matter WHAT it is.

You deserve what you get for making me read all of those lousy jokes!

I am the person that Monsinour has gone out of his way to help. Astute readers will remember that I made a song and dance about it some time ago, embarassing him slightly at the time.

And, yes, he does not do it for the glory (not saying that others do but the best charitable deeds are those done by the quiet achievers).

Now all I politely ask is for him to accept the correct reimbursement and not make a loss on the whole thing.

Okay, so another one of my threads have been closed, after people derailed it and ridiculed me, based on their baseless assumptions.

I will say this. I take note of who likes to come after me. To those people I say, you're dead to me. Don't ask for a bit of help, because any help asked for, will go unnoticed. I don't want help from said people as well. Dead is dead. I have better things to do in life, than waste my time on people who flip 180's every second. Don't waste your time with me, either, and that will be that.

I didn't come to this forum, to help and post with my fellow Skylander fans, only to be met with ridicule by people who have nothing better to do in life, than act immature and negative.

I will close this thread myself, or people will add feul to my fire, by posting back. It's whatever. I really don't give a ****. I'm saying my piece, and that's that. but, if the pathetic display of moderation here (they should be going after the negative kids here) and negativity isn't fixed, I will be taking my business elsewhere. Tash refered me to a seemingly mature site devoted to Skylanders and fans. Maybe I will be better treated there. I have signed up, Tash, by the way.

This is just sad. I see good-natured threads being closed all the time, because of immaturity on the part of some posters here.

It just makes me sick. This will be the last post, I post like this. However, it had to be said now. If stupidity reigns here, I want no part of it, and I hope the more mature people here don't take part of it, and we can flock to some other forum, where one isn't ridiculed by stupid assumptions.



DON'T GO!!!

I think you should try to fix your issues with them (or me I don't know if I'm in that batch of people). Like, sending them a PM, trying to talk with them and know what the issue is.

Some people have no valuable arguments, some just want to understand, and some can really make a point.

You know you weren't being an asshat so don't let others tell you otherwise. I never once saw what you posted as attention whoring you are simply sharing you love of this game with others that you assumed are like minded in their passion for this game. Others are definitely entitled to their opinions but just remember that they are just that opinions, that's also the strength and weakness of the internet...game on.

Here is an example of what I think some people are trying to get at.

The topic is Skylanders Next Step and discussed (in part) rules for a card game using the SL cards.

GM's response included: "Make up the rules. Post them here. I have two sets (decks) of Skylanders cards, on top of the ones I staple to my wall."

There is valid content there (see, I did not take him out of context) but the "...on top of the ones I staple to my wall" could be readily construed as unecessary and bragging.

This is not an abherration but merely a recent example that came to hand.

As much as I support GM's endeavours and praise his attempts to get figs out to others, I can pragmatically see why some get rubbed the wrong way and ascertain that he mentions his vast collection in many threads.

Back to a different thread, GM was offering to swap Volc Vaults for other items. He obtained those vaults by returning faulty starter sets but keeping the Vaults. Hence, he did not pay anything for those items.

So, in my mind, by rights, I think he should hand them out to worthy people (i.e. free item, receiver pays the shipping) as they did not cost him anything. But that is just me...

As I have said many times, I have lots of respect for GM (as I do for many people I don't always see eye to eye with) but I can see both sides of this coin.
