  1. I'll tell you why it couldn't be Jason. Didn't people dail a 1-900 number to kill him off? People paid money to vote to kill that character. I didn't call (hell I didn't know who Jason was until I heard about it on the news) but I would call DC crooks who ran huge scam if they brought that character back from the dead. I never saw the orignal ad for the number but I doubt the character can ever return. Money was exchanged to kill him. Ingoring this at later date can bring a potential legal situation. Hell if paid money to kill him. I would want him to stay dead or a full refund with interest.
  2. I still think people hate Macross 7 do to their perceptions of what Macross should be (Macross Plus). Macross 7 attacks your perceptions so much about Macross that you can turned off by it. I believe Kawamori did not intend Macross 7 to be your typical mecha anime. The vast majority of us were turned off at the start of Macross 7. Either you became a fan after watching more or your perceptions were so damaged that you turned off for good. I also blame reading about it first as shaping peoples opinion of Macross 7 before they actually see it. Once I had internet access I went to research all I could about Macross 7. As I read but faces of Valkyries, singing and monsters I started to convince myself that I wouldn't like it.
  3. Why is the term 'symbolism' so hard to believe. Guld's memory is basically dream sequence. Look at the coloring of the animation and the speed of the footage (Looks like there's less cells) it's not meant to be a flash back of exact events but what currently happing in Guld's mind. The facts can still be fuzzy in Guld's memory. The mind may still be trying to protect itself. Guld doesn't need to see himself going further. The mirror could be a creation of his mind just confirming that was he doing the 'deed.' Mirrors have to be one of the most common clich'ed symbols. Next you people will be saying Hikaru really did have a magic bike.
  4. Well I thought it was a joke that was in really bad taste. I thought was best just to delete before people started to get offended. If you couldn't figure out that it's offensive nature got it delete yourself well then Oh and besides it appeared to be mostly refering to Robotech so it didn't belong here anyways.
  5. Exactly. You can not trust the Guld's memory as fact. It's more symbolism than anything else. For all we know there wasn't even a mirror at the actual event but when the repress memory came out then mirror appeared in Guld's mind for the memory. Even though an actually rape isn't seen it's pretty much suggested. I think it would be pretty graphic to show a 5 minutes rape scene when a torn shirt tells you what likely happen.
  6. Danguard Ace and SuperOstrich have'nt turned mean yet because they're still virgins mods here. Plus we haven't given them their Mod bar mitzvah yet either.
  7. Next time anyone gives a vague topic title like this I'll delete their topic. This one I'll just close.
  8. Here we go again....
  9. The longest thread is luxury better suited for a board with a smaller membership. I think we are just too big if it. Also the subject matter typically posting in it is something more suited for a chat room.
  10. At least Bubba's got great taste in outfits. Oh yeah the Starwars kid old news ain't it?
  11. A contract? I hope he remembers to share the groupies with MW.
  12. At this rate the end of the next week.
  13. Please not right now.
  14. As requested.
  15. Exo: Use a translation program like Alta vista. You can make out most of it that way. And... "Moderator" sounds like they should be 'mediating in a peaceful manner' but a "Bouncer" has that allure of being A-holes if need be or when they want to be. Bouncers? Interesting of that would mean most of the people here are drunks taking a piss on the side of the bar. And Max... He's really trying to beat me as the mean mod. When we have to get tough it's not because of a choice (Okay maybe with me it is ). We get tough when we have to. Anyone can say I moderate over here or the moderators over there don't act like this. Yeah they don't but MW is different animal all together. I also see members here joking about the quality of the membership on other boards. If there wasn't such a tough moderating presence here you will all have reason to joke about this one as well. I was or still was known a the mean one. I haven't changed at all. Max I think has become more like me! He didn't act like this at first but I'm guessing he had to adjust for the needs of the board.
  16. Unknown target your first post was a question the rest were not. * It's question and answer format only. Nothing more.
  17. Guys please don't do anything on your own or that will encourage others to do something that we aren't going to like.
  18. LAST WARNING: One person got banned (long term) for screwing around on this topic in the past.
  19. Gundam lame? Kawamori and friends thought Gundam was cool when they were in school. There was several things in Macross inspired by Gundam. 20% of Gundam is not half bad. The stuff that seems to driving the pre-teens crazy tends to be the lame stuff.
  20. Ditto to what Azrael said. Also who here is called the mean mod anyways . ' Sorry' & and 'excuse me' are luxuries we don't always have time for (especially in time like this). I know people would like to see a reason why a topic of their's was closed but a lot of topics are being closed or moved and we have little time post anything but a something short and direct. When things are back to normal the other mods should be nice again.
  21. A Reminder of one of the old regs Section: VIII State of Emergency There are a lot of rules but you will find that administration is pretty lenient. The administration is committed to keeping a well run and orderly forum. The goal is not to have the forums turn into a circus. They can be flexible with the rules. During a crisis such as the any announcement that would cause a temporary surge in posting the administration will may become strict. Don’t be surprised to see even topics even about Macross being deleted if there is too many up on the same subject. Get the idea? The Mods have escaped the mental ward and we can't find our pills. Until things are back together you may not like us mods. You will have to live with it for a bit. This topic will be deleted when things are under control.
  22. Yes I deleted your other polls and moved this one. The 'Reviews' are for 'Reviews' not for starting as many polls as you can asking others to give their opinion. As you can see I'm allowing one these polls to stay but in a more proper forum. General notice to others reading this: If you need to see what a review is look at a magazine. They are typically a well written short essay about your opinion on something. They are not "Hey do you think blank is cool?" "Yeah I dig blank!" If you want to casually talk about a macross game, movie or toy do so in the usual place don't use the review section.
  23. I'm a little too busy to respond to specfic things like this unless it's in a PM. Topic like this can easly be overlooked while I'm to get the other ones. Please PM me this exact same message and I'll respond to it later.
  24. There is no comfirm second or third chances as of yet. Right now as we are disorganized a bit so it's like a free prison visit. When we get thing together I'm sure some will be asked to stay or leave. Please don't shout out your suggestions either.
