Us SMBxers and Talkhaus Today

Have anything to suggest? A crazy video idea? New merchandise in mind? Write it down here - I'm not saying I'm going to listen, but I promise to pretend very hard.

Thanks to the marvels of modern technology you can now ascertain this for yourself, if you so desire. Simply try connecting to #talkhaus on irc.rena.so. If you are allowed into the channel, you're not banned. If you are banned, however, your client will display a message similar to this:
#talkhaus unable to join channel (address is banned)

So apparently a big part of this is that people are mad that Val got banned.

As far as I can tell, Val was banned pretty much for being aggressive upon entering the IRC.

If you're that passive aggressive about solving issues you're going to get kicked or banned.

ALSO ALSO, may I just say that it's really silly for the SMBX community to get so up in arms over some of our users criticizing or disliking the SMBX engine? Or the SMBX community's contests??

Like seriously, different opinions yo. If you get ticked off about some users saying they don't like the SMBX engine that's just pretty silly yo.

You guys are mad about this thread apparently?

viewtopic.php?f=49&t=14733

And like, apparently the thread title too you guys are miffed at? Thread titles aren't controlled by mods they're controlled by the user so that's just litdude throwing logs on the fire in the moment. Not the best thing but hey.

It's better than talking on a forums since chat is mostly direct, so that's a good thing. The only people you need to get rid of are ones that intentionally spam the shit out of the chat, example being Knux.
Yeah seriously just don't be a fuck in IRC and you won't get kicked or banned xoxo

the irc users couldn't care less about forum affiliations.
It's more-so the fact that a staff member threatened to ban me and said I wasn't welcome that really got me questioning our affiliation status.

Kind of funny how I didn't actually do much of anything in the chat other than join and say a few things to leod. Oh well.

8bit, none of us have any issues with your or TNT or Bomber or anyone. You just all came in at once and people were boting and we got overwhelmed.

If you got caught in the crossfire and weren't acting like an idiot, just contact cat and get unbanned.

We were just watching harry potter when all of this went down. No one on irc even reads the forums. We don't care about the smbx contests or any forum drama.

Actually, in my opinion, Valtteri can be a piece of shit a lot of times. I don't blame you for banning him.

Apparently I'm getting in trouble for this because people are telling me I never help with causes. Oh well.

I honestly have no idea where you're getting this from. Can you provide some kind of basis on these statements?
Rénà wrote:valtteri is already perm banned (before today)
Why? Because I was displeased by the fact that you guys are blatantly insulting me behind my back? And your channel topic says, "Valtteri's ego: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=2460 | enjoy your community full of 12 popular members of the smbx community" Is this really necessary?

I would appreciate it if you knocked it off with the sarcastic, derogatory comments. There is absolutely nothing I have done to deserve this kind of treatment. And don't give me the "you were being butthurt over maglx on irc" bullshit, that's nothing compared to the shit I get from you.

Alright, so here are a few things I'd like to say on the matter.

I'd like to apologize for the behavior of the users of the SMBX community within the last day. While we're not necessarily the only ones at fault, I think this is really just a big misunderstanding.

Nobody knows for sure who flooded #talkhaus, and from what Rena has told me it looks like SMBX users were just banned as a result of the crossfire. As long as everyone who wants their bans removed has them removed, I don't see a problem.

I think the main thing we all need to grasp here is that SMBX and the Talkhaus are very different communities. This is much more of a good thing than a bad thing. We're going to have disagreements, sure, but instead of bashing the way the other side does things we should instead learn to appreciate it. One of things I like about Talkhaus is that they value gameplay a lot more than aesthetics - this offers a really interesting way to judge contests and provides more variety. SMBX, on the other hand, cares more about graphics/visual appeal.

Neither of these things are bad.

I guess what I'm saying is...if you don't want to join a contest that you know is going to be based more on aesthetics or gameplay, nobody is forcing you to join it. Whining about how SMBX loves graphics or about how Talkhaus loves gameplay isn't doing anything beneficial for anyone. Instead of whining about it, join the contest! You'll meet different people from the other community and have an opportunity to work on a slightly different skillset.

But, looking at the bigger picture, these two communities are different. We're not always going to agree on things. That's okay. We just need to work on handling those disagreements in a nondestructive manner - flooding IRC channels, making fun of users, overreacting, and jumping to conclusions are not the right ways to do it. This is directed at both communities. We all have our things to work on.

Thanks for reading.
