These things I found funny from those boards...

1) Most of the people against Hoz+ own 4:3 monitors.
2) Some Unreal Engine fans seem to think that Bioshock is the only game using Hoz-

.. ah internet wars.

well, I did not notice on :welcome that some moderator would lock topic here because he or someone else had different opinion on something than the author of the topic

hey WSGF moderators, do you do the same as them - do you lock or delete threads that you disagree with?

maybe we are more open community than them

PLS delete on WSGF just SPAM topics and topics with plenty of 4-letter words

We have a great community here and generally we don't have to resort to such measures ... spam of course gets removed.

We even have an anti horz+ guy ... trrll ... frequenting the forums ... we haven't stopped him ... it is just his opinion and mostly about Bioshock.
As long as he is civil then fine ... we let him have his say even though most of us think he talks a lot of nonsense ...

No, we don't.

There are a very few occasions when I'll get so frickin' sick of a topic that I'll lock it. I'll never delete it outright. Circular piracy arguments are one of those occasions, when you get two people who are polar opposites on the topic (ie: one pirates everything under the sun, and the other could be poster child for the RIAA/MPAA) and spend the next five million posts argu... sorry, "dabating" about it.

I'll delete a thread from scratch if it's designed purely to be inflammatory in whatever form. I've done that once since I became a Moderator here - and it was not game related in any way, shape or form. If a post in an otherwise normal thread is like that, I'll either edit the content or delete the single post.

Threads locked or MIA without any explanation at all? Not happening.

It seems that someone started another thread over at Epic's forums...

http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=576972

While the thread is now locked, it hasn't disappeared yet.

I have asked why they are sensoring the thread:

http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?p=24989532#post24989532

EDIT: WOW! Less than 5 minutes, 1 reply, and it was removed! DAMN!

This is really discouraging.

(edit: I registered here because I noticed all those threads on the UT3 forum)

Hi Capable, I remember seeing your name over there too.

:welcome


Perhaps we as a community can inform the game developers who have lisecned the UnrealEngine3 that EPIC is sensoring anything widescreen.

Is there some way we can use a back door to make EPIC comment?

This is unnacceptable and now I feel the Left Greeny Socialist coming out in me. Campaign I say!

Can we write into games magazines?

The only comments that haven't been deleted or locked are in the post of the 19" 4:3 or 19" wide monitor discussion...

http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=576670

But I wouldn't be surprised to see it locked now that I've posted it here.
