This is a games forum. It should be mostly about Incredibots, but all games are welceome to discussion.

Yeah, it could be talked about in the 'Games' board here, but I wanted this fresh new community. You're all welcome.

So you advertise your forum on a public site that we happen to be members of? That doesn't sound like a very smart plan.

No, so that you can leave me alone to talk about what I want.

...NOW LEAVE ME ALONE.
You can talk about whatever you want. Nobody is stopping you. What you need to realize is that not everyone is going to agree with you. You may even frequently find yourself in the minority, but that doesn't matter. Stick to your opinions until you can be persuaded otherwise.

Look, I am being as calm and tollerant as possible in the situation. There is nothing wrong with the forum, there is no need for comments from you. The forum does not affect you in any way. I would appreciate it if you leave it, and me, alone.
Being tolerant doesn't mean ignoring opposing views and pretending everything is perfect. Valid criticisms were made. Choosing not to address the glaring flaws points to a bigger issue: low self esteem. You clearly don't think highly of yourself, so you cannot handle it when people disagree. Just calm down, kid. You're not any less of a person because your color scheme is bad.

Christ, kids. Do you think I managed to go my whole life without others giving me a hard time? You just have to learn to deal with it and realize that most people are assholes. Stop being such babies and accept that differences occur.

No reason to give others a bad time, though. And I don't care about the colour scheme. At least it doesn't burn peoples' eyes.

Also, by tollerant, I mean resisting punching people in the face if they take the piss out of me, and resisting ranting at people.

That's not tolerance, that is just controlling your base instincts.

Tolerant means... well basically caring not about other people's opinions.

I'd have to disagree.  I'd say tolerance is acknowledging and possibly considering other people's opinions, but not letting them get on your nerves.

Trolls are harmless if you're a rational person.

Consider their advice logically, consider that you might be wrong, and act accordingly. If they are really pulling stupid sh**, then either ignore them or manage to make them banned. If they bring valid points, consider them, try to change accordingly and thank them.

In fact, if you rage quit or make some other irrational thing because of you being trolled, it's half their fault, half your fault.

Half their fault because they started it all, half your fault because your mind is the playtoy of your emotions.

Remember that there's a difference between trolls, and people who disagree with you.
Far too many people on the internet can't distinguish between things like that, and I hope you don't.
If somebody's disagreeing with you on something, try to talk to them rationaly, they may be able to help you improve at whatever the subject is.
Also, remember that people are fully entitled to their opinions, but also the sh** that comes with that opinion.

Is actually great advice. They just choose to phrase how they put advice differently, more 'harshly' as you'd consider it. The problem is that you seem to be reacting to the 'harshness' and ignoring what was actually said. I'm probably wrong, but this is just what it seems to an outsider.

There was no need for them to object to my forum.

Indeed, there was no strict need. But is there a need of you and me posting ? Is there even a need for Gametechmods ? No.

They just did it because I guess they were curious, and criticized it because they felt it needed to be criticized. Deal with it. You can't expect only praise from a project of yours, no ?

They could more easily just not go on it.

They did it, deal with it. Curiosity, probably. And if ever nobody wanted to go on your forum ?

I tried to be rational.

Then stay rational !

The advice given was practical. If you would like to continue thinking that everything you do is perfect, don't advertise anything you do. Keep it to yourself. As somebody who likes to see people reach their full potential, I will tell you how it can be improved if you inform me of its existence.

I try to ignore the sh** that they type, but sometimes the just push me too far. There was no need for them to object to my forum. They could more easily just not go on it.
The advice given was practical. If you would like to continue thinking that everything you do is perfect, don't advertise anything you do. Keep it to yourself. As somebody who likes to see people reach their full potential, I will tell you how it can be improved if you inform me of its existence.

This is why you should be listening to frezal here, IRW.

I only advertised it so that people could join. I don't think it's perfect, but I didn't ask for advice. It's not there so that it can be perfect. And when I DID follow your advice, people said that the colour scheme burnt there eyes, so I put it back to how it was. Therefore, I did listen to your advice, but it just didn't turn out as planned.

Yes, I think we all know what the point of advertising is.

I don't think it's perfect, but I didn't ask for advice.
I don't care that you didn't ask for advice. When I see something that needs improvement, advice will be given. Can't take the criticism? Keep it to yourself until you develop some thicker skin.

It's not there so that it can be perfect. And when I DID follow your advice, people said that the colour scheme burnt there eyes, so I put it back to how it was. Therefore, I did listen to your advice, but it just didn't turn out as planned.
So instead of tinkering with the color wheel and finding colors that work, you decided to give up and go with what you once had? With just a little bit of effort, you could have a forum that doesn't burn the eyes and isn't fugly. Just do some experimenting.

I'm trying to resolve the argument by explaining clearly what I think, but you just want to argue methinks. Fine by me.

And FYI, I spent HOURS experimenting. All the schemes hurt the eyes.

What argument, and how exactly are you trying to resolve anything? You've made no concessions. All you've done is cry about how terrible of people we are for daring to say your forum isn't as good as it could be.

And FYI, I spent HOURS experimenting. All the schemes hurt the eyes.
There are several explanations for that. I'll give you what I think the top three probable explanations are: 1) You didn't do it right. 2) Your monitor doesn't do a good job of displaying colors. 3) Your brightness is set too high.

Well, how do I make concessions for this? I've said that I don't care about the colour scheme, and people DO say that it's good. I've said that I did take your advice, but it just didn't work out. If the only advice you give is about the colour scheme, then there is no point going on about it if I've tried. My monitor shows colours clearly, and it wasn't just me who thought it looked even worse from your advice.

Eye burning scheme. Change to a black background and white text to sooth the eyes.

Not exactly...

Anyway use mostly subtle, light colors.  The text should be black, and keep one bold color for important shapes/headings/etc.

I'm no web designer but perhaps you can take some inspiration from my site.

Never, EVERY put paragraph text on a black background. Ever!
