Haven't voted for any option yet, just wanted to make a point. http://www.reddit.com/r/example_thread. Check out the language and the attitude people use when they "appeal" on this sub. Some say 90% of these complaints are legit, while others think it’s all just pure trolling and nonsense meant to annoy or confuse the mods... maybe we should just bait them into making an obvious mistake instead.
The issues stem from a few things:

a) It’s always more or less the same crowd complaining. Just the usual types who love to whine regardless of whether it actually makes sense.
b) A lot of people complain simply because they have a personal grudge against certain moderators and want them gone. They'll go out of their way to pick fights in subforums run by mods they don't like. Basically, they're just "stalking" a mod they can't stand.
c) You've got the clones, spammers, and trolls who just want to stir up chaos because they live for the drama.
d) Then there are those who are actually right, but they don't know how to handle an appeal. Instead of being reasonable, they come at the mods with this aggressive, negative energy that totally backfires. No chance of getting a penalty lifted—they usually just end up getting hit with another one.
e) There’s also that group—let's call them "the bystanders"—who don't even file complaints themselves but show up in every single argument, automatically siding against the mods for basically no reason.
f) The FBI section consists of Messages, Wishes, Comments plus three separate sub-sections (Congratulations, Complaints and Grievances, Banned Corner). Obviously, Congratulations gets zero traffic, and while the FBI section sounds positive based on its title, once you actually click it on the Reddit main page, you realize it's a total nightmare.

Here are the "wishes": http://www.reddit.com/r/wish1, http://www.reddit.com/r/wish2, http://www.reddit.com/r/wish3, http://www.reddit.com/r/wish4, http://www.reddit.com/r/wish5

🤣

Should I keep posting the other three hundred wishes or what?

Think I've said enough... 🙂

I'm just saying, compared to the original stories, it's pretty bad... 😉
Anyway, the whole thing was originally supposed to be Edward Summers' project. He spent years fleshing out that initial concept, planning a six-part series that actually stuck to the original Howard's stories. Of course, they bailed on that and just handed the reins over to Robert E. Howard...

These kinds of comparisons are exactly what you should be avoiding. So what, the movie is great until you read the book, and then suddenly it’s trash? I don't buy it. A work of art doesn't lose its value just because you start comparing it to something else. It stays what it is. You could make a hundred different versions of Conan, and even if one of them ends up being "better," Howard's version is still going to be solid. It’s not some damn Walkman that becomes obsolete the second a better device hits the market. It’s a movie. It’s art...

See, that’s exactly why I can't wait... Red Nails Just building up the hype for the new one... Conan the Barbarian: Red Nails-a (2010)

Man, you really love a good story, don't you? Hope it works out for you... Red Nails 🙂

Anthony Smith3 said:And like I always say... a comic is a comic, a novel is a novel, and a movie is a movie. They're totally different—even if they feel similar sometimes—but you shouldn't be comparing them. Each medium brings its own unique vibe to the table...

It looks like you might have sent an incomplete message... 🙂

feralorca82 said:What do you guys even know? This is how it should look... Check this out... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_t605Th-QI 🤣

Jerry Martin19, maybe that "old school" Conan has smoother animation, but it just doesn't capture that true R. E. Howard vibe. On the flip side, Red Nails is strictly faithful to his original story, and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it stand out... 😉

That’s like saying Milius's "Conan the Barbarian" is actually any good...
Honestly, if you haven't read Howard's Conan, this movie is going to be amazing. But for those of us who actually read the books? We know Milius's version is a total joke... 😂 Even if the entire plot, story, and character backstory have been completely overhauled... 🤣
Let's not even get started on Thulsa Doom... just another character pulled out of thin air, slapped together, and tossed onto the page...
He's basically just a messy hybrid of the original Thulsa Doom—the main villain from the Kull stories—and the actual big bad from Stygia, Thoth-Amon. And yeah, that Thoth-Amon pops up in the second movie, Conan the Destroyer, but he’s got zero connection to this guy... 😂 strava...

I just finished one of the Conan novels from the '68 era (the Howard, de Camp, and Carter stuff) and I was actually pretty impressed. To be honest, the story is a massive departure from any Conan movie we've seen so far. It feels like Milius basically took the character and the vibe from the books and just built around them, whereas other adaptations tend to change everything else entirely. I think a director's vision matters a lot here—it’s crucial that when a storyteller like Milius takes on the original material, he interprets it through his own lens without trashing the core concept, the atmosphere, or the protagonist. For me, that movie is a winner...

When it comes to that '92 cartoon, I'm not even talking about how much easier on the eyes the animation is. I mean the vibe. It actually captures the grit of the Hyborian Age. You get a real sense of Cimmeria and Stygia... even the way the lead looks feels right...

Look at this Conan on the poster. It’s somewhere between a Disney flick and a Cartoon Network cartoon, and don't even get me started on that background architecture. This doesn't feel like Conan to me at all...

Anthony Smith3 said:I don't know... like someone already mentioned, this Conan guy just looks too much like He-Man to me...

He looks a lot like He-Man...

I don't know. I'm really not feeling the style of Red Nails at all. It doesn't capture the vibe of the Hyborian Age nearly as well as that 90s animated series did. this Conan looks like he’s got the face of some Native American, and honestly, these posters look just like any random Cartoon Network cartoon. this Conan actually feels way more convincing to me, even if the show was toned down for kids. (Like how Conan doesn't kill Seth's servant, he just sends him to another dimension or whatever)

p.s. that little clip (0:22) from the intro where Conan "disposes" of those two skeletons and the camera zooms out to focus on him standing on a pile of bones and skulls while you hear the narrator yell, "CONAN, THE MIGHTIEST WARRIOR EVER!"
who can actually afford that? 🙏

What's actually missing from that 1992 Conan animated series?

Look, I don't care if people call me a snitch, because that's not what I am, even if I do report trolls like that. If there's something I don't want around me, I've gotta get rid of it. And if the solution is reporting it to a mod, then that isn't snitching—it's just solving a problem that I'd handle myself if I actually had those "privileges"...

Look, when someone corrected my grammar before, I didn't think it was worth getting worked up about. I’m sure the mods have much bigger fires to put out, but honestly, if they just flagged it when they see it, maybe those types would eventually just stop... at least that's the hope. I don't think it's some huge crisis, but it's an annoying distraction every single time it happens. It's completely pointless too, since it's never actually related to the topic at hand, and sometimes it even derails the whole conversation...

Haven't seen this happen much lately, but that monster is still lurking around and pops up on the forum more often than you'd think. What's the actual issue here? People show up to an online community for all sorts of reasons: to connect with people, grab some info, debate stuff, or just hang out and chill... and I think every single one of those motivations deserves equal respect, no exceptions. So, if someone types "change" with a typo, is it really necessary for some pedantic nerd to jump down their throat and lecture them about grammar, or hit them with some "you illiterate hillbilly" insult?

I say we penalize these little grammar police and busybodies who clearly have nothing better to do than find fulfillment in these nerdy trivialities. 🙂

😁

Alex Hall4 said:Honestly, my quick trip there was killer. I showed up to this punk fest and ended up seeing Grdović and Duran Duran playing... 🤣 🤣

🙏

Anyway, I was only there yesterday and it was awesome. Better not to recount everything... basically, it was picture-perfect 😁

auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 🙏 🙏 🙏

Ryan James3 said:Are we doing the whole "throwing rocks at bad bands" thing again this year?? 🤷

If you burn through all your rocks this year, what's the plan for next time? 😬

Benjamin Hernandez37 said:Jerry Martin19 isn't looking for a placebo when it comes to his music taste☕

not like it would fit anyway🤷

Look... seriously.
So we're blaming the whole organization instead of just giving the poster a proper talking-to.
Just like how those old-school authority figures used to act back in the day.

Drazen

Man, I’m a total fanatic. It hooked me like five years ago and it just won't let go...

We should hit up Oktoberfest sometime, maybe grab a beer for a day🙂

p.s. I’m not stalking you or anything, I just tend to search for posts mentioning "Jerry Martin19" once every few months or so, and well, you were just one of the unlucky ones who popped up🙏

Benjamin Hernandez37 said:Since there’s zero info on the flyer... am I supposed to be the big punk rocker on stage, or is Mario Kovač just some drunk stray dog or something?!??

🤣

And who's actually asking?!

Which version of yourself do you even see in this?

p.s. What exactly were you hoping to see on there? The winning Powerball numbers? 😁

@Laura Long5, who told you I only listen to one band? 😠

Original work by Jerry Martin19 🙂

Maybe you guys got tripped up because he joined the Jedi Council in Episode III. Either way, they didn't give him Jedi Master status yet...

He was just a Jedi Knight in Episode III...

Look, man, nobody’s actually offended by anything. Besides, you were never really bringing any actual arguments to the table anyway.
Just a quick favor: stop trying to undermine everyone. It doesn't help anyone, especially not you. We’re expecting about a thousand people at Oktoberfest to see that things are actually moving forward here, so maybe just stick to your little "urban art" lane. None of the people you're calling out right now are out there publicly trashing or commenting on your exhibits, so just chill out. One thing is for sure... we're all still hanging out together, yet somehow you're the only one no one's talking about. On the flip side, looks like you're still haunted by the same old ghosts. Is that really the issue? You're just terrified of being forgotten, so you have to make noise just to prove you're still around... but hey, your outlook stays the same: everyone else is wrong and you're the only one who's right.

stormygull22 said:The only local musicians worth mentioning are D Diplinzi. Their songs, their playing, even their live shows—they’re solid. I went to Oktoberfest maybe twice, but honestly, only stepped inside once. I know plenty of people in San Francisco who organize the whole thing, even if we don't hang out anymore. And man, what I'll say is... the way it all looks, how people act, the mess and the filth that repeats every single year? It's a disaster. I’ll happily catch a D Diplinzi show, but I'm not touching something like this. The music is usually garbage. It's not that I have a grudge against anyone, it's just that I'm seeing all those typical punk clichés play out right in front of me, and they're actually true. But hey, whatever. Someone’s gotta be part of that crowd. Some people think they're musicians, some just want to eat fish, some love meat, some won't even touch milk... San Francisco, the metropolis of youth. 🤣

Well, look at you, old friend... never forgotten. Except, since you're known as a troll in real life, I see you've turned professional trolling on these forums too. Glad to see you're finally breaking through the space-time continuum and discovering the internet, especially since we both know how much you despise cell phones, the web, women, and hell, life itself. We haven't crossed paths in forever, so I'll ask you nicely: stop digging up old friends and undermining their hard work. If you don't want to show up, fine, but don't make such a massive scene about everything. If you *do* decide to come, come by. We'll grab a drink—assuming you can actually drink now that you're somehow surfing the web and using a phone. Cheers.

Just so we're clear, this isn't Jerry Martin19, it's his brother Drazen using his account to spread misinformation about the festival.
