So are the mini-mods basically just friends of the admin who can go around and close topics they don't want to see? Just curious, because I had a topic locked/closed because someone posted a pic of a rick hunter doll, and he stated that as the reason. I realize the desire of the site admin to make their jobs easier, but just be careful who gets 'chosen'. People who are given power usually cannot resist using it, usually for no good reason. Don't want to turn this board into a super censored site like robotech.com. Same thing happened there a while ago, and it drove a lot of people away. Now there are almost no new posts, and even less new members. I have seen a lot of members disappear along with all their posts. Now it is dead, thanks to a few. Just be careful and don't be a draconian if you get to be a mod... BTW- I didn't know where else to post this, if it's in the wrong spot. Says I cannot create topics in the site info category.

Yes I agree it is what HG is doing now(or not doing) that is most frustrating. Again sorry if this got posted in the wrong spot. Can it be moved to that other bigger topic at all, or doesn't it work like that?

Believe it or not, I actually do enjoy Robotech and the story, have for 20 years. I also own Macross 2 and Macross Plus. It is frustrating to see HG really doing nothing with the license. Yes, after 20 years they are making an OVA finally with new material. The irritating part is that the characters can look nothing like their Macross counterparts due to this BS rights deal with HG. They had to make a five part comic series just to explain why all the ships look different now. Now, after it was going to come out two years ago, they can't find a distributor even. The rt.com website censors delete any posts asking what's wrong, so you can't even talk about it or find any information. HG is like the RIAA and can't seem to get with the times. They are too worried Macross imports will harm robotech sales, yet they do nothing for robotech. 20 years ago they made the same mistakes, which buried the Sentinels. They tried to control the toy market and when Matchbox pulled out, we were left with nothing. As a result, I am still stuck with my Jetfire transformer, and my VHS copy of "Clash of the Bionoids". They made the mistake of trying to market Robotech to 5-year-olds. Today- same difference. If they don't want us to see Macross Zero and buy other cool toys like the destroids, then why don't they pull their heads out and just make these things available? It's not like people wouldn't pay or there is not an interest. Hell, if people are still buying remastered remastered dvd versions of the original, why not put their name on it and let us at it? It would continue with their strategy of not actually having to do anything new. Anyway, sorry this is so long. I thought I had posted this in that other topic. Still figuring out site navigation, I guess.

No offense- I used the term on myself too. People just get too clicky on these boards, like you don't have the right to say anything if you haven't been lurking here for years. RT.com is bad like that.

Sorry if it's old to all the dorks who have been on here for years, but it's new for this one. Thought I'd be able to discuss it here since rt.com censors topics like this, no matter how mildly put. They would rather hide their failings than deal with them.

Seems the jenius is the only one who doesn't agree here. I'm referring to their attitude and business practices.

I have never seen a more incompetent, unprofessional group of...people...than the staff of Harmony Gold and Robotech.com. Their contempt and indifference toward their customers will result in the failure of their Shadow Chronicles OVA, and bury robotech in the process. It's too bad. But then maybe I'll be able to get a look at Macross Zero in the US without all the little ******* at HG crying about rights to protect a franchise that they are doing nothing to help...

That idiot does that at rt.com as well. Very annoying. He should be banned...
