Why do GAF's rules get tighter and tighter for more and more advertisers, and they still can't keep the fucking site up on normal news days?

wtf, this movie is copyrighted, I had to rent the DVD to watch it

what's with GAF and the constant public sharing of copyrighted material, it looks like it's OK to post copyright-protected stuff as long as it isn't a retail game .iso or a music album

I'm not going to say it's THE reason, but one of the several reasons I knew that my last gf and I weren't going to work out was because she loved shopping at- you guessed it- Wal Mart.

also, that documentary shows a lot of spooky stuff about Wal-Mart, but shows very little proof that these things are actually a fault of Wal-Mart alone-- most any of these things also exist in any big retail chain that has thousands of outlets and lots of clout in the economy

but sure, the bleeding heart liberal crew of GAF will eat it up...

when someone posts a link to a full-lenght movie that's also available on DVD instead of just a short excerpt, then that's a clear copyright violation, regardlessly of whether it's hosted on a video streaming site with a prestigious name like Google or on a minor download service like Rapidshare

but you're right in regards to sites like Google Video and Youtube, these sites have blurred the line on what's fair use with video media and what isn't

The cached version for non-logged in users sounds neat! Essentially, if there's a hilarious topic that gets deleted or something, you could log out and still be able to save whatever it was that was deleted. At least, theoretically, right?

I'll be sure to search mod post histories before making any observations in the future.

And since it was obviously too complex for you: My point was that the ad revenue should be going to new/better servers. Without seeing this thread, there was no way for me to know that it was a support issue for the new servers that already exist.

GAF does have new and better servers.  Of course, a hardware upgrade is mentioned in that very post I linked to, so I don't think you should be whining about things being too complex:  your dumb ass apparently can't understand simple sentences. Nobody's had the time to work out all the kinks, simple as that.  Calm your hormones.

I'm enjoying your posts. I try to be right, get it wrong often enough, but on balance the number of "rights" exceeds the number of "wrongs" by a lot. I have a subscription service that ranks us on our recommendations, and my rank is the 92nd percentile for overall returns in 2007 and 87th percentile in 2006, but can't send you the link because it wouldn't work.

It would be refreshing if you would beat me up for something more recent than 2005 . . . However, I'm not hiding from my spectacular failures.

A couple of notes in my defense:
1) I downgraded EA to a Hold in fall 2004 at 60, and upgraded in September 2005 at 57, as you correctly pointed out. I upgraded to Strong Buy in June 2006 at 43, and it went to 59 . . .

2) my Sell on Netflix was at 18 in August 2004. It has barely generated savings account returns since, and is headed lower . . . and my price target is $15.

3) I was the only analyst to rate Activision a Buy in February 2003, at $3. It's a six bagger from there.

Cheers, and keep up the good work.

So, I wrote him a note saying I wasn't trying to be malicious. Just having fun in the thread. I would imagine it's hard to be someone that is so public with his opinions/work and have some desk jockey like me make fun of him.  I probably wouldn't handle it so nicely.

Pachter seems competent enough, way more than your typical GAFer. It's weird that they all gang up on him.

Anyhow I don't get why people think that someone should be able to predict the future of an economy's volatile sector like videogames with Nostradamus levels of accuracy and uncaniness. There're way too many imponderable elements for someone not to fail spectacularly a bunch of times.

Well, you see, Ecro, there is this thing called E3 this week.  It is a pretty big event in the gaming world.  Shortly after 7AM, GAF's traffic spiked to within 500 users of record level.  I am not sure why--maybe that Killzone screenshot got linked somewhere prominent.

Anyway, I heard this morning that the 500 errors should be done now (as far as the tech people know).  Note that I said "heard" because I am not a tech guy.

It's still total shit. There are much bigger forums on the internet that don't get crippled whenever anything newsworthy happens.

I don't care what kind of bullshit is spewed from the forum admins there. If the draconian rules and moderation there are so that they can get precious advertisor money, they should have servers and hosting good enough so that they don't have to shut down the Off topic forum or any of the other shit that gets pulled every year.

I'm not trying to make oyu into a bad guy or anything TVC, but I just find it completely ridiculous that that site gets completely fucked every year.

If GAF crashes so frequently, the reasons are simple. There are too few servers piggybacked on each other compared to other major forums, and not a lot of administrative personal, all of which are unpaid people trying to give their friends a hand.

Redflagdeals is a forum of a comparable size, but it's got like a dozen of extremely powerful servers working together, each one of them being ready to take relay if one was to face issues. It never slows down no matter how huge the traffic peaks get.

Guess that you can't ask such means from a bunch of college students with no money who depend on the whims of their advertisers to subsist...
