The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Super Smash Brothers (all)

This is why I thought it best for Tails_155 not to elaborate. I knew someone out there would complain about Tails_155's opinions and criticize them heavily. I personally found no insult against me or anyone else in Tails_155's statements.

Same here. I don't want a dispute to errupt because of this. :(


Anyways, I'm glad to hear your a big Star Fox fan, too, MC. Guess that puts on the same page. However, the recent updates at the dojo cannot compare to the Stage Builder! That is going to pwn..well next to the online play that is. Also, Keni and I have been talking, and I've been thinking that depending on how many Wii/Smashers we got here at the GOF we could have little fun Smash Brothers Tournaments here. What do you think? ^^

It all depends on if the Nintendo Wii can connect to the internet on dial-up, since the Wii (when I actually get one) will only be in one of two places, neither of which are anywhere close to an alternative internet connection other than dial-up.

I think Krystal would be a great Star Fox smash character. Shes probably the most varied among them in the use of her staff.

The Wii is actually designed to work with the popular Broadband Wireless.  However, for those who are still running on dail-up, there is a special Lan Adapter you can get to make it work. :)

So yeah, you'd better also invest in that Lan Adapter. :D

Hmm... if I used it on dial-up, would I still be able to battle with 3 other players, or are there certain limitations, like I can only battle with 1 other, or someone else on dial-up?

That sort of thing can't be confirmed until the game comes out, which won't be for several months.  So until then, I really can't give you an honest answer. ^_^

I don't think dial up is fast enough to handle three simultaneous connections like that, at least definitely not in real time.  You really are going to need broadband for it to work properly.  Maybe one on one you *might* be able to get away with, but not more.  Its a limitation of data transfer that will bite in the end.

I do have a broadband connection, but I'm not sure what my parents would think of me pulling something like that on them. I guess I would need a router setup? And could I use dial-up to do basic stuff like surf the net or download firmware and stuff?

And, Tails_155, it's not a big deal. You don't have to PM me anything. B)

Hm, there is an easy way to work with Broadband and the Nintendo Wii. There's a device known as the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector. How it works is that you take this small UBS drive and plug it into the computer that has the Broadband connection, and the Wii should automatically detect it. More info on it is                  here.

I hope that helps because it's really easy to work with, and requires no tinkering with the Broadband connection. Just plug it into the host computer. The only downside is that it only works for a Windows XP. I hope that helps.  :)

The broadband connection is on a Windows Vista computer, and the computer on dial-up is my main laptop with Windows XP.

I'm not trying to start something. I just say your implied insult for what it was. You may try to hide that it was an insult, but I know it was. You wouldn't even have made a remark like "it might be okay for the masses" if you weren't implying anything about the rest of us. I firmly believe that.

Dear gosh, WeirdRarptor, it's not a big deal at all. I don't think Tails_155 meant to insult anyone, or really even did insult anyone, for that matter. I'm seeing Tails_155 himself insulted more than anyone else.

I have to agree with Manny. Nothing Tails said looked even remotely like an insult. All I'm seeing is Tails being insulted just for stating an opinion.

Anyway, can we please drop this and go back to the original subject? I don't want this topic to be closed.

I would NEVER imply I above anyone... that's arrogant beyond anything I've ever heard... if it came off as an insult then fine... I'll just stop replying to this... or any other thread... because apparently I'm not worth the words I type... goodbye

I think this is the 3rd or 4th time we've tried to get the topic back going before someone brought 'that' up again, but we can try one more time, I guess.

And, Tails_155, please don't leave just because one member here decides to butcher your words and insult you.
