Don't Australians actually call them prawns, though?
But it's not fun for the rest of us, to see a cluttered pile of notes that everybody knows isn't going to be made into anything. Additionally, a lot of people don't find adolescent lesbian fanservice to be fun, either, nor stringing together a bunch of action sequences and hot springs episodes like that.
Which was probably the second biggest reason the Vent channel withered up and died, right behind DLC commandeering the place during the day.
But! If there is one positive thing I can say about that fiasco, it's that the characters used for fanservice were all nineteen or older.
At any rate, my question was directed at the criticisms of writing quality as though they were after making a professional quality work. As far as I could see, that wasn't the case... it was something started just to have fun with it.
If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me. I just don't see why that particular thread is worth so many people getting worked up over.
The number of people on the Vent channel was such a small enough number already that, without cross-contamination of conversation, the room would be dead silent more than half the time.
Not to mention the limit on the occupancy of said Vent channel. At 20 people, that's barely enough to be a critical mass to keep anything going. Split that up into six different rooms and you have...pretty much nothing left. I strongly disagreed with Ironeye's splitting up the place, for this reason.
DLC is not to blame; she was there only for a short period of time. People trying to make the Vent channel to expressly serve TVTTTVS is more deserving of blame, as it was one reason for the partitioning of the Vent channel.
Also, I suggested repeatedly that we should instead get a Teamspeak channel. If you had someone running a server, you could have up to some 50 or 500 people on at once, rather than just up to 8 (free) or 20 (paid). And Teamspeak is free. Yes, you don't have to pay for max occupancy 20; you can just enjoy as many people as the server can allow I think. As I said, the maximum is at least 50, if not 500, based on what I know from helping a teammate set up a server for our Mystery Hunt team. My suggestion about Teamspeak was repeatedly ignored.
Strawman. Creating a work that is fun for every person on planet Earth, and for any extraterrestrials that might pick up the radio waves, is an unreasonable expectation. Creating a work that is fun for general audiences, as well as the loyal fanbase, on the other hand, is reasonable.
> No, the Ventrilo channel withered up and died because it got split into many, many different rooms.
Um... the three main rooms were created pretty much so people wouldn't have to put up with DLC. It didn't work, given that she would simply follow people when we moved away from her shit.
There were rooms created before that, for TVTtTVS discussion and for sex talk, but that's because those discussions tend to be off-putting for people not actively participating in them. And if they think it's gross. Or boring. Et cetera.

Actually, having 20 people talking at one time is chaos. It's the same deal as with real-life conversations.

She was there for months. Months!
Anyways, I am not familiar with Teamspeak, but it sounds like it would require someone to keep their computer running constantly, which given how most of us are poor college students/underemployed out-of-college, the electric bill would get to be prohibitive.
@MyFireworksDoesYours: cool story bro
tl;dr I don't know why Scrye hates the community that loved him so much.
I guess I just don't give two shits about my e-popularity. I'm not obligated to like people back just because they have a hard-on for me, and other than me being fucking awesome, I don't really understand why the community liked me so much. Other than my little clique of friends, the only people that didn't hate me with a throbbing hate-boner like yourself were the people who actually realized I challenged everything about tropers from the beginning.
My entire presence on tv tropes can be summed up as bluntly telling people they need to get off their lazy asses and actually go do something with their lives, to acknowledge that a vast majority of anime is complete shit with low-quality animation, little real variety, and over-sexualized themes that have no business being sexualized, that being bullied was not the worst thing to ever happen in their lives and to get over it/do something about it, that violence is a legitimate solution to some problems, and that unwarranted positive reinforcement/sympathy does not actually improve someone's life. I've been hatin' on Tv Tropes since maybe a month after I joined, and that certainly wasn't my intention when I first made an account. But being apart of the troper community simply opened my eyes up to how fucked up the community is, and I always calls 'em as I sees 'em.
So me pointing out the shit on Tv Tropes that pisses me off is nothing new here, whether I do it on Tv Tropes, IJBM, or Something Awful. The fact that I had outspoken supporters in the community is completely out of my hands and doesn't affect my attitude whatsoever.
/the thought process of all of Scrye's fans summed up.
I certainly, would rant out people if I felt like it was warranted, but I barely know any of you in the long run, so I don't.
QFT
@Juan_Carlos > Pretty much my line of thought on the whole deal. Scrye can do whatever
the hell he wants. I'll juxt ignore him if I think he says something
dumb and it'll be the end of it.
QFT again
Challenging people to be better by being an asshat is still being an asshat, just with a poorly justified reasoning.
I agree, which is why I noted that I don't really know why people thought I was omgsocool.
^5: Sarcasm aside, that was the plan of it. I was hoping that at least one person would actually get pissed off being criticized and actually change for the better, but that failed miserably. All they did was go and cry to people who told them they were a special little flower.
