How is there any competition, they're completely different games. Although; I'd bet GMod would win in any sandbox contest. There's just so much you can do with it.
Holy fuck, this is dumb.
if TH89 was remodded, hezzy will be too
like I said, this will blow over by tomorrow
[B]An Open Letter to Garry Newman.[/B]
Facepunch is many peoples main community. It houses people from around the world over their love of games, Garrysmod and in the end everything. However the changes you make have a negative effect on the community, and you seem to neglect that at every turn and make more and more changes.
I suppose the first thing on my mind is a little more personal than the rest, the change of the way community news is done for Garrysmod. Now in the beginning I wasn’t hostile to this change, but that’s because I lacked the foresight as to what would happen in the future. However some of the Gmod news team were hostile to it, but you told them to shrug it off because you wanted an official site. You were kind enough to offer us hosting, and your reasons were valid into wanting us to be an independent website. That was different back then though, now there is little to no community news, at least in comparison to what it was like back then. You completely demotivated everyone, and I don’t know if you realise this now or not. As a result Gmodnews.com has very little content or writers, and every other community news website doesn’t post as much anymore. If you hadn’t changed it there would still be a good amount of community news coming through.
Then there is the recent fiasco with the removal of Hezzy as a moderator and the removal of the Lifestyle forums. I’ll start with Hezzy. In my experience hezzy has been perhaps the most active moderator on the forums, and certainly the most helpful. In cases where I would have asked for a moderators help, most would just ignore you, but hezzy would look into it. He also organised a vast number of events in real life and in games that probably wouldn’t have taken off if it wasn’t for his involvement. I know that this doesn’t have to change just because he isn’t an admin anymore but he understood the community better than anyone, and was/is ultimately deserving of all the praise which people are giving him, and for his community leader position. Then the removal of the lifestyle forum, which might not sound like a big deal but they really were their own little communities. I myself never posted in them, but I always found it nice and friendly to lurk around in and I know of various people who regularly posted in those sections. They now have nowhere to go. The reason they were there was to stop those kind of threads moving out onto the main forums, and some of the threads that were there simply can’t exist anymore or they will be banned. It will eventually cause more hassle for the moderators to look over and clutter up (even more) sections of the forums. You are ruining those sub-communities without even realising it.
I don’t feel you understand what the community wants anywhere near enough. You seem to neglect those opinions who you should listen to, but you don’t and continue to mess with the forums when we don’t want you to. And you may say “It’s just a forum”, which is true but it’s a forum which many of us use everyday and in the end becomes part of day to day life.
Just listen to us for once.

If Garry stopped being Facepunch's site owner, he'd stop paying for Facepunch and so Facepunch would stop existing.

[QUOTE=Mr. Sun;28234816]Making a bold and dangerous statement, but I think Hezzy was a better mod than Garry.
BUT for the fact that Garry tends to Gmod and that takes a lot of time whereas Hezzy, I'm sure has an important job but more active on the forums. I also never see him ban for bogus reasons and he is a really nice guy from what I've heard, seen (in videos) and he looks so gosh darn cuddly! How can you stay mad at that![/QUOTE]
Your opinion is being echoed in the Gold Forum.
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;28234737][B]Question:[/B]
Will Swefp go? It's the most popular language section, and please, we're a bunch of 20+ regular posters that don't want to see it go.[/QUOTE]

The people who play that game... at least the ones I've seen... are glued to the screen much more then most GMod players I've seen. And all that game is picking up blocks

[QUOTE=Splurgy_A;28234929]If Garry stopped being Facepunch's site owner, he'd stop paying for Facepunch and so Facepunch would stop existing.
I bet he'd still pay if the upgrade money still went his way.
this is lame. the gay pride section was the only place i even posted on in this damn place. i didnt even own gary's mod til last week, nor did i know what it was until a while after i started posting. can we just not remove the subforums
I remember using the Custom Forums one day when I was a sophomore in High School.
I was about to go tell a girl that I liked her so I went into love advice and asked "WHAT SHOULD I DO FACEPUNCH"
the responses were harsh and they all just told me to grow up, be a man and just SAY IT.
and now, today I am a better person because of that. More confident and assertive about myself.
Also, the majority of the threads there are 10x more popular than In The News or even some of the GD threads! The problem that they don't get a lot of attention is because everybody thinks its just all full of suicidal, gay and furries AND its at the bottom of the page and by the time they get there, they have most likely clicked on another link.
I remember the trolling in the furry section
good times
good times.
this is not good news....i think that we should all use craptaskets avatar if we want hezzy as a mod!
again
[QUOTE=Mister_Jack;28234864]Good. Hezzy was a terrible mod.
This happens like every year though. Hezzy(or any given mod, really) pitches a bitchfit about wanting to be able to something that Gayry doesn't want. Mod gets demodded, still pitching bitchfit, custom forums are getting shut down, everyone else starts whining, big drama, mod gets remodded nothing changes go back to normal.[/QUOTE]
Hezzy, Cratasket, Greenman, and a few others are the only decent mods.
I hope he gets remoded.
Languages Subforums weren't really much used, i actually think a thread in GD about that one would be better. Other Lifestyle forums were something else though...
A pity about that thing with Hezzy.
Minecraft ruined facepunch. :smug:
[QUOTE=Paravin;28235134]Minecraft ruined facepunch. :smug:[/QUOTE]
the funny thing is, there was probably a thing in the back of Garry's mind when he did this. Demodding him because of making a minecraft forum without his permission? the GIP section was CLUTTERED with minecraft threads! If Garry was involved with the community more then maybe he would SEE THAT!
Also, garry, you sound like a whiny little bitch sometimes. He was 2nd in command and you had all these reasons you didn't like him and demodded him. THE SMART THING would be to talk to him about it! thats what every leader does! Just doesn't fire somebody because they do something wrong without any real warning. I bet if you told him something along the lines of "You need to stop being disrespectful or you are going to lose your moderator status since Mods need to respect everybody blah blah blah"
Why don't you stick to Gmod, supporting the forums and finances and let Hezzy, who is pretty much Garry's active-in-the-community counterpart take care of forum issues like simple things such as MAKING A SUB FORUM.
this was really fucking dumb.
RIP DD
Hezzy 4 ever

I think Garry is secretly against Minecraft... hence why he got mad at hezzy
[QUOTE=BaconMan_lol;28235215]I think Garry is secretly against Minecraft... hence why he got mad at hezzy[/QUOTE]
no he isn't.
he said that he doesn't see minecraft as a competitor to gmod
I remember every thread I've ever posted in
[QUOTE=Jimbomcb;28234454]i just wanted to take this opportunity to say you're an idiot newman, remod hezzy already[/QUOTE]
PROTIP: Don't call garry an idiot. I used to be an gmod.com admin until I did that :v:
