OFF TOPIC... for all

[Guest]

Hi

I'm more than tired to have people (LOT OF) going 'off topic' for no reasons.

When I'm directly concerned I don't know, most of the time, what to do... so I'll just use this thread to do so.

You might find this 'solution' intersting which I then invite you to use to your convenience but most of all... for the convenience of having sane threads.

Smart move. I should have never given mine out to anyone either. Unfortunately i use a block feature to stop email's i do not want. Mark aka MOM does send out Email's quite frequently.

NO doubt! I signed up for Quake I Network, decided it wasn't for me and now I get a slew of "newsletters" from them with no unsubscribe link at the bottom. I went beyond spam filtering and told my client not to even acknowledge those mails, send them back. I don't recall even being asked if I wanted to receive the mail in the first place which makes me hate QIN even more... too fucking presumptuous. Like, I sign up and now it's a given that this is my favorite shit ever? It's not.

I never even joined it and he sent me an email, because he found it on my profile listed under my instant messenger account. You can totally report the domain for spamming and get his IP blacklisted lol.

@solecord...naaah. I like mom and understand this is just who he is, how he rolls. It's a little annoying but it's not really all that major. My spam filter thingy seems to be doing what I told it to so, basically problem solved.

Anyone else wants to get ride of my private contacs (so called mailing list)... go tell the entire world then... thank you!

I am the light to oh so many moth's in the community, but not by choice.
Maybe you could be my bug zapper -BzZzZt-

I'm taking this in burst's now, I've just recently heavily fired up BF4 again. Mark burnt me out last night by asking me if he could have Mom changed to W0W and I lost my shit on him last night, basically due to I dunno, trivial shit.

People know him as mark, now they know him as Mom,and now he want's to abandon ship for another persona that doesn't even reflect who he's known as heavily in this community.


Q.Mark[0!0] = Mom = soon to be W0W if Solecord hooks him up,cuz I'm not capable or inclined even if I could. Incognito or Anonymous characters really gets me going o_O So imagine ,better yet,don't.

lol... Mindz = 'one man show'.

I told you I have 'my' reasons... it is 'private'... good I didn't explained... but you don't help at this point.

Closing 'Mom' could do the job... can I? Probably not...

I'm asking help I receive shit... lol this is just what is happening... all the time... all people are saying exactly this... they don't all have my patience... you should try once for all... or let others do.

lol...what? Your mailing list is aggressive and pushed on people. Why would I want to get mail from something I have no interest in? I tell you what, I'll sign you up to get a newsletter about sales on "feminine napkins" and other vaginal hygiene info/supplies, and you can't unsubscribe. You'll get the newsletters you never agreed to receive and like it.... That's kinda how I feel about your mailing list.

If there was a "subscribe to our mailing list" feature I promise you it would have been unchecked. You know, sending subscription mail without a working unsubscribe footer in the mail is not legal. You have to provide people with a way to opt out of your list, and buried on some site in a profile page is not acceptable.

The mailing list is my personal contacts... not a 10k list of people I got no idea.

You been removed... you just had to let me know... but venting about it to the entire community is just giving Quake ONE Network more visibility... I don't complain.

Only it is SO OUT OF CONTEXT... that's it!

P.S.
It's not a 'newsletter' just a invitation... later we will have real mailing lists (many) from which you will always have the option to unsubscribe... you might think I'm just a amateur playing with mailing lists but I'm not at all... I been doing this for years.

It's called a audio/phone voice,all women got them. You couldn't have spoken to many women IRL + on the phone, you'd notice this if you did.


She tried telling you this but I think you was too busy tripping over yourself that you was chatting with MrsMindz to catch that part.

Let me explain, when I'm talking to MrsMindz she does not sound like what you,Zop,etc heard. Put her on a phone or a mic,and it becomes more feminine. lol.....

Maybe since I dont have tits and the such you'll actually acknowledge what she was trying to tell you,this time around.

All right Mindz... just to not have b.s. in this 'Romero''s thread I want to tell you this hehe.

You so wrong you almost wront all the time lol.

Anyway your englsh kind of s.u.x. to me... it's not always the other people the problem you see??

THANK YOU B.I.A.T.C.H. (<--- it's not really meant to be 'biat**' hehe).

I just finished eating a bologna cheese mayo sammich, it was fuckin delicious, wasn't quite full but didn't feel like dicking around in the kitchen again,so I made a lazy grilled cheese,which is basically bread + cheese + microwave haha.


For the record, Mark's presumably blaming me for all the blowback he's receiving for his mailing list. I'm just the one who tends to be a loud-mouthed FUCKER about things and I did what I do best,I made noise.I was the first one to call bullshit from a bullshitter, thats it.

At this point in time it's trivial,and I wouldn't dare ask anyone who's been affected by the mailing list to defend me. I can defend myself,but it's not like Mark really gave two shits about me to begin with. Mark's Quakeone Network didn't involve me at any point in time until I asked him about it.

Mark had plans for my wife to be involved with his project long before he even considered me, and thats okay. Am I butt hurt about this? Not a bit. Will Mark rant about me @ the next Quakeone Network meeting? Maybe, very well a possibility, then again he might not even mention me. Thats fine too.

Mark just needs to understand that HIS actions are what's bringing about the results and responses. Don't get it twisted, I didn't say "MARK,MASS EMAIL ALL YOUR CONTACTS ADD THEM TO A MAILING LIST BLAH BLAH BLAH"


I'm only here cause I was waiting on Dutch to reply to a PM I sent him before I go to bed,but I guess he either went to bed himself or he's AFK or busy tinkering with RiftQuake.

I suppose my broken english is the problem, not his broken french. Don't mind me I'm just further extending the audacious claims being made here. Mark told me to stfu im working on instant messenger, so I just block and deleted him. This isn't the first time I've done it, won't be the last. I go a year or so and then I clear my block list out and start over. I'll never abandon a Quaker permanently but at this point, I'm just gasoline to Mark's bon fire of 'being pissed at mindz,cuz blaming mindz is 10x easier than accepting responsibility for his own actions'


Goodnight guys n gals, frag you tomorrow.



PS : I did find it cute and hilarious at the same time that Mark had plans for MrsMindz to be apart of his project before myself though, not because of any failings of my wife's, she just doesn't get into Quake like I do. She's really the best, I love her dearly.

You say that, and it's not the only instance, he did this with my girlfriend, weirdly enough (noodle-shop). That's fine, but she doesn't really play quake, and she's vice president of this gig somehow.

Now, I could turnaround and add so much fuel to this fire it hurts, but at the same time I know for a fact that won't accomplish anything. But Mark, I'll say this a second time, but I'll be more black and white about it.

Stop pissing people off. Either you and Mindz have some inside joke I don't get, or you're trying to annoy him. Again and again. It's fucking childish and annoys me to no end how you try and be a personality you're not. You want quake to be big, then promote it, make people aware and organise events where people online can gather, chat and play quake. Maybe stick to one engine for these events, or one kind of engine. This very site is specialising in netQuake (if I'm not mistaked), and there's even a quake like game being developed here on the site to make up for the lack of a free to play quake 1.

So you've got these groups and then you make a central website, so people from all over the different forums can gather and sign up, maybe have it so profiles sync to popular servers and have a very primitive elo system for social banter and "my ePeen is bigger than yours". There, you have a pseudo competitive environment with a free game, what's to lose? Well now what's to win, find a good advertising company for the ads, and make sure they're not intrusive. So when you /KINDLY/ ask people to not use adblock, it doesn't annoy them. This gets trust from people, they want to support you now. Fantastic.

Events, people like quake and quake is one of the grandfathers of eSports, why can't it be an eSport game again? It can be, have a section of the site dedicated to mapping, or work with other sites for competitive map jams.

ie ; MAKE A COMPETITIVE MAP FOR THE UPCOMING FFA TOURNAMENT, SPONSORED BY <brand name>. So basically, you've got ad money coming in (not a huge amount), and a tournament, where you can probably do a prize pool based on a percent of sponsor inputs (although this is a gray area, you may be requesting hardware at a discount price, but I'm not going that far into detail in one post).

PRIZE POOL = USER INPUT, have a donation button, but take a cue from kickstarter and other crowdfunding websites, for donating certain amounts, people get merchandise or something. I really have no idea on this one, but this is just a post.

So you have a website where people can gather, play quake together and have small competitions. These will be streamed, what do the casters do when not streaming? Playing single player mods, that's right, get them to play the latest mods and have a page where people can download the mod (with installation instructions) and a donate button where the people who made this mod can get money (5% can go to the site)

This isn't perfect, I wrote this because I feel you're just not doing enough or you don't seem to know what you're doing because you always seem to be holding information back and always try and get as many females on the team as possible.

idk

I know you're not stupid, so please for the love of god do something, after all, this is a business venture, right?

-rage over-

re-reading this I went on quite a tangent, but the points are pretty much valid

and for people who don't just see an angry teenager writing crap, what are people's thoughts on this? I really do want something like this as soon as possible, especially with all the content being made lately and the rise in interest in quake. (With quake live's apparent update, I think more people would be willing to try the original quake as an alternative)

you were too lazy to toss a grilled cheese in a skillet? lol...wow that's almost like being too lazy to put on your other shoe.

Me. Actually it all triggers my spam filter anyway, but not getting them would save disk space.
