[quote name='Warner1281']Look, since this is likely to turn into a flame fest, I'll give you the one bit of non flame first. (1) While I, personally, disagree with a need for a site such as yours, I'm sure there are people out there who will use it. Unfortunately, those that find a need for a site that's like facebook, but centered around PS3 are not likely to garner many friends in real life (IRL, lolz!!!). They're the awkward unsocialized people who have a hard time saying hi to anything that isn't using a keyboard. At least they'll all be congregated in one place, so we know what to avoid. (2) Unless all the female registrants on the site live in your household or are people you have physically met (not webcamz!!! OMGzz!11!) there is no way for you to verify the validity of your statement.
So stop trying to defend the site like a moron and let it stand up for itself. Either its a good idea and will take off or its a stupid idea and it'll shut itself down when the funds for hosting the site run out.
So yes, I stick to my comments of guys posing as girls unless you want to out yourself as having registered your sister, mom, neighbor, and lab partner. Which will it be?
edit: I won't edit my post I just made, but I will make a semi apology. I just noticed you have been registered with CAG since 2004, so at the very least, you aren't some random FW asshat who just registered to make a stupid post. For that you get some credibility, but the website does not.[/QUOTE]
I created this website for people that like games, but don't have a lot of gaming friends. It is probably going to be used by more casual gamers than hardcore. I know that most of the people here may not want to join a friendsite. CAG, and places like it, are good enough.
There are other gamers, like myself, that are more selective with the people they game with. I am not really into competing. I just want to kick back and play friendly games. I like specific types of games as well. My hope is that by creating this site I am able to help people find specific gaming partners. Nothing more, nothing less.
The women in question are gamers I know from various points in my life. The ones I don't are friends of those same gamers. That is why I made the 100% female and 100% real statement. As far as this being an Otaku, or stay at home with out interacting with society, network goes, I don't know how things will play out. Most of the people that I have encountered have been fully functioning adults. Perhaps some of the future users will fit your description, but so far these are just normal people that happen to play games.
My final thought is this: I understand where you are coming from, and it may seem as if I am trying to spam the boards to promote a new website. In some sense it is true. Not the spamming part, but the promotion thing. I want this to get out there because I think it's a good thing. I am not charging anyone anything, and truthfully, no one clicks on the ads anyway. I am doing this because I feel that it can be a good thing for some of us. Maybe not all of us, but that's ok.
And while I know it is not your cup of tea, I appreciate you talking to me with class and integrity. I would not mind you, and people like you being a part of this. I think having a diverse selection of people makes it better for everyone.
