Oh if BB didn't exist PSOW would be the best elitest nest on the web!! wakwak :v

Fan Works, Lounge, and FKL are part of the forum system.

Off Topic and Rants are there to change it up and build a better sense of community and discussion.

PSOW is for PSO.

PSO should be PSOW's only main focus game wise.

Was it? Even if it was, you can hardly center a forum around an online game that not only hasn't recieved any updates in years, but doesn't have a single legitimate server in operation. The fact that we can't talk about how to connect to private servers (for obvious legal purposes) makes the stress on the word "legitimate" even more important, without the PSU section, PSOW would lose a great deal of activity, good or bad, activity is what keeps a forum alive. I , myself, only returned due to PSU's release.

TheOneHero

That's true, you know. What would we do without our Which Section ID/Class is best flamewars or people asking how to obtain the Olga Flow using the beat system and max luck stat that flooded the conversations when the gameplay itself was dying out.

Methinks you're remembering the 'end' of PSO's forum sections a little too fondly to not at least find some kind of comparasion to transition into what you'd call the current PSU forum generation.

And yes this forum would be dead, so if you'd seriously think (whether you are or not, whatever) that this forum might as well be dead instead of being what it is now, you'd probably best pretend it's dead and that it simply doesn't exist anymore.

If PSOW dropped PSU from its featured games, you would lose a massive amount of the site visitors. I know some PSU players are arrogant/idiotic, but:
- It was the same with every generation of PSO players (except DC, I wouldn't know about that because I joined with PSOGC). You always had flamewars galore during PSO's lifespan (me and Kef alone probably contibuted 80-90% of that :wacko: )
- Times change. I won't deny that I found PSO a better game than PSU, but the fact is that most people moved to PSU, PSO's official servers shut down and most players who played PSO any large amount moved to the latest game. As a Phantasy Star site, PSOW has merely moved onto the next big thing. In a few years, PSU will be dead, and PSOW would (I'd imagine) start to shift its focus to whatever is next for the Phantasy Star franchise.

There hasn't really been an influx of idiots, it's pretty much the same as it was with PSOGC/BB. Hell, even now you still get people in the PSO sections asking how to get the Red Ring/Parasitic Gene Flow, just the same as years ago.

It's really no different now, simply different faces taking the roles of the PSO generation, I guess. You still have the uptight players (whose names I won't mention), the newbies who don't know anything, and so on. A lot of the 'original' PSO crowd will have also left the site/become less active while new members are increasing their activity. The actual quality of posts is the same...

If there is a requirement, I choose to complain about the new weapon names.

Sep 5, 2008, 05:39 PM
Is anyone besides me even amazed this place is still around? I mean, from what I understand, we started out as a mere community run site, for a game a great deal of people hadn't even heard of. We're not some big shot like 1up or IGN, we're not running for any actual company. Yet somehow we're the biggest PS database out there, with a huge community, and have been for years now. Somehow we even came back after being down for a few months (I believe it was a few months if I recall correctly.) I'm just glad this place is still standing. FKL is the ONLY forum that's ever kept my attention longer than a month. Cutting it out would leave me with 25-50% of my PC time completely lacking in something to do.

Remember when PSOW was good?

PSOW was never good.

No, PSOW was an interesting place to come to back then. What with the Cheater's section being one of the most posted in areas with drama levels rivaling the furry fandom. Or what, with FKL and...

...wait. I honestly can't say I remember much specifics aside from the rubby, mushroom house, and lots of heated arguments about pants (pun not intended but works in a horribly cheesy way). Also, Duck Hunt.

In any event, PSO users brought quite a bit of drama to the forums and there was a small group of users that would always voice their side of the same tired arguments every single time, only to get derailed as to whether a Brand should be classified as pink or purple.

Suffice to say once the shutdown of PSOGC was announced, and even slightly before that, I had left the PSO section of the site anyway due to the constant pissing contests. Off topic and rants offered more interesting subject matter and occasionally would be quite good. FKL was, and still is, for the most part a place to let your brain rot and fester with other individuals with equally poor senses of decency and humor. And decency of humor. The 'problem' with me in that respect is that my sense of humor changed since I was a heavy user of FKL, and the humor of FKL never really refined into any sort of definite shape and is just kind of an ambiguous fog with occasional clear areas wherein internet memes are blasted.

I guess my point is that PSOW didn't necessarily change all that much but rather that we, the posters, grew up and remember enjoying it because it fit our entertainment purposes at those ages. I look back at what I considered humorous or worthwhile 5 years ago and I frankly shake my head in shame in many instances. And yet, I did enjoy it.

tl;dr - PSOW didn't change, we did and didn't realize it and so we bitch about it.
