Re: Dojo Forum Update: Moderation Team

I'm sure these guys will be good and take their mod powers seriously but use them in moderation at the same time.

Bad pun?

What in tarnation are you talking about?
BANNED!

Thanks for putting me back in the saddle, Yama. Happy to be aboard. I'll do my best. As I'm sure Pete will (and always has been), he's a class act and to be honest, I didn't know who the other mods would end up being until just now. So yeah, the team looks really good and I'm damn sure we'll all get along just fine, no worries folks. This is the best and only internet forum that I frequent and there's a reason for that, the community (yes, Shenmue too, of course!), all the personalities make this place a real neat place to be. I think that together we can make this place thrive again. There's a reason some of us have been on here for ten years (some even longer) surely? We all know why, we like this place so much.

And if anybody wants to chat about any issues about these forums, we're here to listen, you won't be talked down to, I'm here to help and I'm sure the other mods feel the same way. Now that that's over, let's have fun, fellow Dojo-ites.

And no, my brother will not be a problem. :-"

Re: Have most of the forum members dissappeared?

Been a while since i posted here but Sailors? got in touch a few weeks ago suggesting i revisit the dojo. Truth is i didn't disappear or forget about this place and i still visit regularly despite rarely posting and the main reason for this is until recently i haven't had a functioning computer/laptop, i did try to post on my iphone but it was a great and unsucessful struggle so i chose not to bother.

I was a little reluctant to make this post as i'm not one who likes the spotlight, never chose to make a topic announcing me leaving or returning here or got into situations where politics could be involved it's just not really my style. But for anyone who is interested enough to know what HL has been up to in recent times then i'll gladly get you up to speed.

This summer i graduated from university, i'm now looking for a career based job but with my current job i've just been offered a promotion which entails a few more hours but a nice little pay rise as well. I've met a lovely girl who i've now been with for 8 and a half months, she has no interest in video games but i will force her to indulge in any new Shenmue title if it were to see the light of day. Finally i've got back into playing 5-a-side football (soccer) and won the league with my team last season and are sitting 2nd in this current season.

I may start to post here a little more frequently again, no doubt if some Shenmue related news comes to surface then it'll be a catalyst for discussion.

Re: Goodbye everyone

I would have posted earlier but I've only just got back from Barcelona and felt the situation warranted a bit more of a detailed post than a few sentences I construct with my iPhone while taking a shit. I'm gonna take this opportunity to iron out a few misnomers regarding a few things before I get the inevitable bans, my original account is still banned so I guess I'm one of the select few!

Ryudo:

There were a number of occasions when I would be in the chat room with him and Oppy and he would encourage me to troll certain members of the forum that he didn't like. I remember Master Kyodai being one in particular. So his whole stance on me being a troll is entirely hypocritical, as he only took action against me being a cunt to anyone when he was the recipient of a scathing post.

I'm not going to lie and say that I didn't type any of that vitriol in my post that had me banned. I did, and I know it was a tad out of order. I didn't say he was lazy or that he should get a job, I was suggesting that if he really didn't have much time left before he shuffled off this mortal coil then he may want to consider doing something a bit more worthwhile with the limited time he had remaining, rather than spend it playing Xenogears and making videos about unboxing limited edition JRPGs. I know I could have worded it a bit better but he did delete a paragraph from underneath the remaining post which went along the lines of:

"Adam, I know I'm being harsh mate but we only want what is best for you. If you don't have much time left on this earth then surely it would be better spent going out and actually doing stuff rather than wasting it on forums or playing games?"

Now don't take that as exact verbatim, but it was essentially what I was getting at. Most people see me as being puerile, vulgar and immature, but I'm only fucking about. However some of my posts from years gone by which I have occasionally read-over again due to a necro-bump make me cringe . From my last period under my original handle (this one is an alternate account) - Jan to Oct 2011 - I didn't post that much offensive stuff in comparison to previous periods. Ryudo understood this until he took personal offence to something that I posted which I don't think was particularly ban-worthy. He was perfectly ok to see others be on the receiving end but when the shoe is on the other foot then he does not hesitate to take swift action.

I don't hate the guy, but he does have issues and a habit of lying about situations to cover his tracks. I don't think anyone is fooled about Coby not being Ryudo, but hey, why doesn't a mod do an IP trace and see if it matches what Ryudo was posting from?

Sonniku:

We never got on because you got really pissy over me modifying your Sonic sig that you had at the time to show him sucking a cock with cum dribbling off his chin. Immature? Yes, but it was in Junk and I didn't think you would get into such a strop about it. Ever since then we never saw eye-to-eye. I'm happy to call bygones as the whole thing is six-to-one and half-a-dozen to the other. It was 8 years ago FFS!

Peter (re what you posted in another topic):

I'm sad that you think I'm the kinda guy that would get you into trouble tbh mate. My internet persona does not truly reflect who I am IRL. Yes I do like to take the piss, also unafraid to speak my mind and am steadfast in my beliefs, but I can also take on board critique and recognise when I am wrong. I'm a lover, not a fighter, baby.

Re: What does the Dojo drive?


Honestly im probably gonna get one of those one day in Japan cause of space constraints too. Seems so easy to park do what you need to do, run back, hop on and move on with your life.
Granted it would suck being hit by car riding that so im not completely sold yet.

You've touched on the best and worst aspects of having 2 wheels there. I don't know what driving is like in Japan (I've only visited) but here it's dangerous. Not as bad as China, but worse than Europe, for sure. Parking anywhere is great though. You never have to worry about where to leave a scooter


How's it like living in South Korea?

That's quite a general question :mrgreen:

People are more familiar with Japan, so I can say South Korea is geographically and culturally the closest country to Japan. This place was a Japanese colony for about 40 years so they don't like the Japanese much (think Ireland and England) but because of that their culture rubbed off and now SK is like a hybrid between China and Japan. Their own culture isn't so distinct but they're significantly more conservative, which is a pain as a foreigner.

As far as living here... taxes are low, it's cheap for a developed country, it's quite polluted but has nice scenery for it's polulation density, everywhere is safe to walk around at night, law enforcement is lax (for better or worse), people can be anywhere from hostile to very friendly, summers are too hot and humid, winters are very cold but dry, the people will never accept a foreigner as one of their own no matter what lengths they go to integrate... like everywhere, it's a mixed bag. I live in a beatiful but small city on the south coast. Somebody living in Seoul or Busan would have a different experience. Like anywhere, I think having a job you like is the most important thing. Work a job you hate and you could be living in the best place on earth but not enjoy it. Enjoy your work and you could be happy more or less anywhere

Re: Who is Online?

A fair few of them probably are bots but as I understand it our "Who is online"is not limited to real time activity.

If I had to guess I would say it displays all users over a time period of 1 hour or so which would make it possible for a single guest to be counted more than once. I could be wrong about that last thing though.
unless if they have a dynamic IP I don't think it would count them more than once, I know we have lots of lurkers though as every time someone signs up or an old member comes posts after being away for ages always starts with "I've been lurking" but you're probably right for it not being real time, I know when I sign out I'm noted as online for pretty long after, we probably have over 100 bots as well considering how they love this place or maybe they're just trying to unite with their master kiba :lol:

EDIT: ah I stand mistaken, as soon as I sign out I am counted as offline, I guess they fixed that

Coby had been "lurking" since 2004 :lol:

Re: Ryo model from Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing mod for GTA

Of course it's a good idea, ryo must be ported to every possible game :)

Now you need a rip, also i didn't play the game so i don't know if ryo is always on his bike or he has multiple poses :-k

I can tell you that Ryo does have multiple poses in Sega All-Star Racing. On jumps he dismounts and pops off the bike, stands, and spins around, and his special attack has him hop off the bike into a forklift, and that has steering wheel animations, etc. At the end of a winning race, I believe he dismounts and stands, raises his fist in the air and says something profound.

Re: I win I lose I win you win. I'm not Dave Chappelle

I didn't get overly involved so I didn't talk shit but just stayed out of it since others were much more involved in the case. If we forget about the forum issues for a while, you're also one of the members from the early Shenmue-community days which indeed counts for something maybe. During your "non-stressed out" periods you were one of the people keeping things active by posting etc.

And I can imagine that the news you got takes a lot of weight off your shoulders.
Warning : boring summary following to make a point ;)

Now I'm not in a situation AS bad but paperwork for absence from work due to health issues. Today everything got messed up again (wrong appointment made by others, drove to the right place, had to park 2km away due to road work, they didn't get all papers from the first people, walked back, drove to the first place again, they didn't recognize the forms etc.). So it forced me to invent some backup plan while they try to sort things out.
This will probably also mess up a course that I wanted to take due to conflicting schedules. And besides that there was another case hanging for about a year. At the same time I was solving an issue where I used to live (Sweden) regarding university applications. But they lost forms I sent, forgot about my case etc. but...I'm not lashing out at others here for it ;)

The point that I want to make is that many people have a lot of stuff to deal with in their lives. Again, not as bad always as your heart problems. But still it would be messed up if everyone here started going berserk and mention later that it's due to personal problems, you know? I'm not judging but it's better to maybe fix things first or just lurk if real life seriously gets in the way?

Oh, and I didn't join your forums but read a bit now and then. Nothing personal but I'm very busy these days and restrict myself by not registering at an extra place.

PS I didn't know yet that Martin was back. Just saw it now, late as usual I assume? :P

Re: Causing Trouble At School

Hmm, a few :

Turn a guy's wrists during a fight so that he had to go to the hospital immediately and came back bandaged. For weeks someone else took notes for him.

Another guy picked on me until I got tired of it during our basket match. He took the ball, threw it at me. I kicked it back, it hit the backside of his head. Then I punched him in the liver and kidneys. He went down, others pulled me back. Teachers let me go since they had noticed his behavior for weeks...

Other pranks with friends, usually common plan : Gather around two action figures on the floor as if a fight was going on and started edging them on. Soon half the school gathered around. Teacher runs there, leaves ashamed.

Grab teacher's book from the front and throw it around while he runs after it. Eventually it flies out of the window from the second floor.

Convince a weird teacher that we saw something mysterious outside but it ran around the corner. He let two of us go out of class twice and find it.

Art class assignment : teacher asks where it is, go outside, pull out newly planted pinetree outside of the window and claim it was performance art. He just asked to plant it back which we did :P

Got detention with some friends just for being consistently late, make others get beer from a pub next to school, we open the window so they can deliver it.

Smash aspirins and put it in a bag. Pretend to deal drugs during maths. Money changes hands, teacher yells that he finally got us. Eventually embarrassed when he discovers what it is. Or switch places when he has his back towards us. It always made him confused when he tried to address someone.

Remove a tile in church that has a broken corner and sits half loose. Push it so it slides quite a bit over the floor during a silent moment.

Also replaced tape with "hip" jesus rap songs with some black metal tape. Teacher figured out the first fraction of a second that it was the wrong tape though. No one really heard more than a blip :P

Class trip to Germany led to a beer museum during free time. Result : bus filled with drunks, someone vomits over someone's arm and lap, a guy asked others to push round chewing gums in his ass etc. Result : class banned for future class trips due to earlier theater problems.

Common idea : make class mate tie his neighbour's shoe lace to the cords from blinds. Bell rings, guy rushes out and a loud sound is heard when a whole section of the blinds come down. We go out.

PS I never initiated fights and actually had a math/science education which caught teachers off guard. They kind of assumed most of the class would be timid geeks.

Re: Deletion/Moving of the Junk forum

The PM wasn't posted with any type of malice, the thread was locked and obviously AG never got his say, so he was forced to send it to me via PM. Otherwise it obviously would have been right here. Hell, his reply was to my reply in the topic. Think of it as moving a post in here, it's not as if I publicly went and posted something that was strictly confidential.

I sent the topic to a few members that were seemingly on the fence at times, none that would obviously support one way or the other. I did that to be fair, not conjure up some great support group. I legitimately wanted a few people to read this and see where they stand, seeing as the thread was locked many may have missed out on the further discussion we were having.

Hell, want complete honesty? I sent it to you since you are friends with AG and myself, so obviously I would receive a neutral reply and one of honesty. I sent it to Mue since he criticized me greatly, but seemed to enjoy the new direction and hands on approach and eventually changed his tune. I sent it to Axm since he left and came back due to the changes, so to coincide with AG's statement of older members coming back and liking or not liking the change, I figured that was a good example right there. NO MALICE, NO PUBLIC HUMILIATION. I was the one publicly humiliated by a good amount after taking over, but instead of crying over it you take it and grow from the experience and earn peoples trust. It's actually pretty gratifying.

Hope you now understand, Blue... figured if you knew me, that much would be obvious.
