thousands of years from now archaeologist will discover a stone tablet about the battles between mac7 haters and mac7 likers and a lady will sing a simple song that will unite our clones and fight for freedom. And the song will be titled "0G Dance".

I wasn't referring to anybody in specific, the problem with the Macross 7 haters goes far beyond the actions of one person. What happens is that someone starts a thread about Macross 7, and the Macross 7 haters come and start "sharing" their opinions about Macross 7, when really that has nothing to do with the topic. Then the Macross 7 defenders come up to defend the series and an argument starts and the thread is destroyed. By prohibiting the haters from starting the fight in the first place, the idea is that actual discussion about Macross 7 can occur. At least it's not cropping up in EVERY thread like it was for a little while. "Macross Plus is awesome!" "Yeah. Not like Macross7, which am TEH SUX!111"

mIRC is an IRC client. Despite common belief, it's not the best one(IMO), or the only one, or the original one, but it IS the most popular one.

That reminds me... Am I the only person that sees a certain Gundam style to Basara's valk? Obviously Gundams don't have mouths, but other than that...

Chat rooms. Dun think MacrossWorld has an IRC channel. I wasn't sure why you asked about it, but figured I'd cover the bases.

Hey, I was thinking that before anyone voted. I only mention it because the methodology of polls came up. Anyways, this one is as biased against Mac2 as Mac7.

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly. IRC = Internet Relay Chat.

And if you look at any poll, their not accurate since normally, they never actually take a complete sample. When you see news reports about polls saying this or that, notice that the sample group is significantly smaller when applied to the larger group. Margins of error are applied but it is still not a complete nor accurate poll. Phrasing of the questions also affects the answers. As an example... this poll's "neither" option. The "consumer whore" crack encourages people to choose one of the other 2 choices. ... Hypothetically, anyways.

Riiiight.

50% of the people that have voted, which is... almost none of the membership. Anyways, assuming a statistically signifigant sampling, it proves my point nicely. Everyone doesn't hate Macross 7, which is the impression people get out of threads discussing Mac7. Even if we split the "hated Mac2" votes 50/50 because some of them just hated Mac7 LESS(though Mac7 threads lend the impression that it's impossible to hate anything more than Mac7), it's still only 2/3s that hate Mac7. Even if EVERYONE that hates Macross 2 also hates Macross 7 that sitll leaves a quarter of the board that DOESN'T hate Mac7. Which is still a far cry from "everyone but Keith hates Mac7, and he's just in the closet about it." Of course, that's all IF the poll is a statistically signifigant sampling, which at this point it isn't.

Unfortunately, history has dictated that all M7 threads end like this. edit: At one time someone posted a light hearted story about M7 and how it inspired him/her (I think is was justvinnie from the old board). Then people come along and post the same usual "it sucks" stuff. Then the pro-M7 group counters, then the anti-M7 crowd comes back, and so forth. This is why people like Keith have stopped posting in these types of threads. As part of the pro-M7 crowd, am I arguing the merits of M7? No. Why should I? It just leads to endless debate which goes nowhere. Which is why all of these threads end up the same way. As long as blood pumps through the mighity veins of Agent ONE I will remind you all of my stance on M7... And why do some members quit posting their opinions!!?? Because they are worthless and weak, just like that pantywaste of a show they like. You mis-spelled pantywaist.

I like Millia in that first source pic.

Riiiight... Unless you meant lead as in "a hail of bullets" instead of lead as in "the front of the pack".

Depressing but true, an add on reader for other types of cards would almost negate the need for a hard drive given that you can get CFII cards up to 4GB. I thought those multi-gig CompactFlash cards WERE hard drives.

I still like Kaifun's car in the original series.

Hard drive's in the backlpack with the battery. Remember the Proton Packs they used in Ghostbusters? Now imagine that, instead of going to a thrower, the cord runs from the backpack into a PSP. NintendoBusters! Coming this summer from Sony Pictures!

I hadn't heard that rumor. ... It'd be awesome if that was introduced at the same price point, like the slimmed-down PS2 with integrated ethernet was. I really wonder about this rumor... sony would have to have a really nice battery to be able to power that thing... but if it happened, I would get one... and that would pretty much kill the ipod. Backpack battery. Solves everything.

Ooooohhh, greeen. My favorite color.

I'm using Winamp. 2.91. Don't feel like upgrading to 5.

Simple solution for that: Don't buy it. Or buy it for Lumines anyway, and trust that the games you want will start to come in for it. But you see... I buy hardware for software. I don't buy software for hardware. A system with no games I want is crap, regardless of how powerful it is. Besides, while I'm sure somethign I want WILL come out eventually, when it does we'll be a price cut or 2 down the road, as well as 3 hardware revisions. I'll get a better sysetm for less money. Hardware revisions won't be like the N-Gage's. Any hardware revisions that Sony will do to the PSP at this point would either increase the price, or negate any potential price drop. nah it won't be anything major. most likely better latches for the disc launcher and maybe better analog stick. Right. I wasn't speaking in terms of new case, new features, etc. I was speaking in terms of fixing existing flaws(one's already done, yay!) and reducing the cost. There are not two versions of the NES. There's close to 15. There are not 2, 3, or even 4, PS1s. There's about 10 if I recall.

Personally, I thught Mac7 was interesting from the start. It's the later episodes that are annoying me somewhat. But some people are doing what I consider the equivalent of judging the entirity of the original Macross story based on Flashback 2012. If you give it a fair chance, fine. If you watch 2 episodes and deem the whole thing crap, that's diffrent
