Very sad to see s-c.com close, it was a great venture. Vinh is a cool guy who has done a lot for this "community" and deserves a lot of praise. For those talking trash; I'm sure he had good reasons for closing, some people are acting like he owed the people registered there something. It was a FREE community site which he and others put a lot of hard work into, often for very little thanks. It has to close and some people start putting the boot in... grow up you sad muppets. Theres more to life.
Arcade Shock is a cool online store with great gear at excellent prices, Vinh always delivers and usually goes above and beyond what he has to. If there were more people like Vinh around this hobby would be a whole lot more civilised. Many thanks for all your hard work buddy.
Its not that anyone really hates the dude, its just that hes left small trails to his reasoning, and because its so full of those damn cheese holes, I dont think anyone knows what really went down. I gotta admit, I liked the guy while he was here. He never talked shit or downed me for any reason, and I at least owe the guy some creds for opening a site for fans..
Shit, its just to damn bad that it opened when there were 'supposedly' poor terms on both sides.
What caused this war and most likely unrepairable angst is the fact that when S-C.com opened. Everyone started talking shit about ng.com. Some ng.com posters were encouraging us to completely leave this board for SC. (I seem to recall threads and chat discussion) I joined SC and stayed here anyway. I really think it would have helped if the fans themselves didnt put these sites in some underhanded competition, which of course results in a piss stream of mixed feelings.
Its like we were gonna leave some drama behind and start fresh, then when the time came, nobody wanted to do that.
IMO, I think almost all the S-C traffic will migrate to SRK. If not, a good deal was from there anyway.
NG.COM is not gameplay affiliated as much as on and srk.
I almost entirely blame the relationship downfall on the fans who wanted nothing but to have these sites enemies.
