hey "willco" so is megan fox a freak in the sack or what

1UP is populated by bored children. You wouldn't see Gamespot running with this tabloid crap. Give me news, not drama.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #62 on:** July 19, 2007, 02:19:41 AM »

I'm tired of this shit. You people don't know the kind hours Willco puts in to bring Willco-brand entertainment to a public that loves Willco, but a critical group of pussies that are jealous of Willco's good looks and talent. You know what Willco has to say about that? FUCK IT.

then look at Hitokage's holier-than-thou attitude in EviLore's thread! what hypocrisy

You really don't see the difference between what Hitokage did in that thread and what Jim did? Hitokage verified the identity of a user who claimed to be Mark Rein through his username and signature and who was speaking as an authority on what happened at E3 in a public thread. Jim verified the identity of a user who had sent a private message (that got publicly posted) to another user on the board under a username that isn't obvious without a bit of digging.

I found the whole thing pretty amusing until it became news.

how was "bell" any less obvious than Mark Rein? and in the case of Bell, how didn't he allude just as much to being who he is by PMing a poster who dissed him with an uncanny question?

GAffers frequently register the nicknames of famous people, plenty of them being part of the game industry... I don't see how things are that different, what if it was to be some OAer's joke character who posed as him? or some random newbie who used it because it sounded cool? I saw people registering with names as CliffyB or Gabe Newell on other boards

bottom line is, Hitokage and Jim Cordeira recklessly revealed who the famous guys were to sound like heroes-- most any forum moderator or admin will ALWAYS take these occasions to valorize themselves in front of the forum crowd, and GAF's administrators are no different

jim is probably the nicest mod on gaf (whiteman is a sick sick man, we all know that) and he probably outed bell since he was excited or something (we all were, i mean, a used car salesman posting about contributing to the society, lawl) and in the end he shouldn't have done that. but still, i like the guy.

patrick making a story about it on 1up is pretty lame.

You guys are really getting worked up about this.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #67 on:** July 19, 2007, 09:29:51 AM »

The funny thing about the thread is that it made GAF look completely ridiculous. From the fawning, exec-fanboys (OMG so and so posts here!!) to the moderation staff that dropped the ball. Not exactly a welcome sign for execs or devs that still post over there.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #68 on:** July 19, 2007, 10:38:42 AM »

What GAF did is very OA.
What 1UP did is very unprofessional.

I worked with Exxy quite a bit back in the GA days, I dunno whats happened since then but that news article reads like something from The Onion, just not as funny.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #71 on:** July 19, 2007, 11:13:17 AM »

It's a bigger deal with 1UP because they're supposed to be a legitimate news outlet. This isn't WiiNews.net or something, this is a full fledge subsidiary of Ziff Davis Media that works in conjunction with one of the most circulated gaming magazines in history.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #72 on:** July 19, 2007, 11:14:52 AM »

I didnt have much respect for 1up/EGM before, but this is just..jesus. Keep it to the message boards or create a shadow-fansite you can pump this shit through.

This is a truly remarkable post. Let's look at this one more time keeping in mind your second paragraph.

Mark Rein registered as his real (full) name on the board, he made a post explaining what happened with his product at E3, and signed it with his real name and title. This is the real Mark Rein revealing himself publicly to speak as an authority figure. He wants people to know who he is but because of what happens in your second paragraph this is in doubt. Hitokage verifies that he is who he claims to be, the thread moves on. Mark Rein: "Hi, I'm Mark Rein. This is what actually happened at E3. And BTW, I'm really Mark Rein" Hitokage: "Yeah, he is"

Bell alluded to one person in a private message who he was. That private message was made public by the person he sent it to and although you could guess it was really him you didn't know because of paragraph 2. Then Jim confirmed that it was really him. A poster who had no public exposure, hadn't made any forum posts, and just registered because he wanted to send a private message to one person.

I know it's fun to slam GAF admins/moderators and all but this is just fucking stupid.

I don't know where the "shitty logic" comes in, all I see you is defending people that really don't deserve to be defended. Then again, I see the GAf administration as a bunch of spoiled, easily butthurt cunts so maybe I'm kinda biased.

But you're right about us all being special.

St. C, how about leaving your thread ruining skillz over at OA?

and lolz at Willco for expecting 1up to be professional because they are part of a corporate umbrella. Most websites attached to professional magazines are jokes .. tabloid fodder masquerading as news. Even respectable ones like Forbes or Fortune.

this is really a non-event, and is a testimony to the collectively pathetic condition of the internet gaming community that it even merits notice.

I defended Hitokage by pointing out the difference between what he and Jim did. That's all. I can understand hating GAF admins/mods and their policies and I can certainly understand hating most of the posters at GAF. I don't think posters should call someone a hypocrite based on an example where they're not, though.

For the record, we don't even know if that really was Mark Bell. His account was never activated even after he was sent a confirmation, so somebody else in the area could have made a fake account just to hammer off that one, single PM.

No damage to control. A sacrificial lamb has been offered.

In all likelihood it *was* him, but we can't know without the confirmation email, just another reason the "outing" was so stupid.
