    Welcome, Crunch! I hope all is great. It's great to see another CADer around here.

    I'm Really jealous of your king jinx and your collection in general. :)

    I suppose that's a legitimate question. The Lego thread is in the Whatever section, where people also talk about... well, whatever. My understanding is that the Show Your Collection section is reserved for toys that are generally discussed on this forum: sofubi, resin, keshi, chogokin, etc. There -are- exceptions (3A, Bearbricks, etc.) but Westernish vinyl has always been frowned upon (nowadays) or generally chased away with torches and pitchforks (up to a few years ago). Why? Probably because the Western toy fans seemed to bring a KR forum "bro"/douche vibe to skullbrain that was not appreciated. We all know that a large number of people here also collect Western vinyl (I do). This is just not where it is discussed. Not that I'd personnally see an issue with appropriate threads in the Whatever section... But hey, bring that up with one of the mods (are there any left? James?).

    I get it, you don't want a flood of Western Vinyl guys coming here to chat it up, but Double eye roll half page GIF? That's not how you handle it. Try words and fucking Grow up. All I'm saying.

    It is one of the few rules that Skullbrain has . . .

    2. There are reasons we don’t talk about certain subjects, and there are other places to yap about that stuff. Head there for that kind of talk, don’t try and bring it here.

    Obviously you and your buddy must've missed the memo so maybe Rule 3 needs reiterating too . . .

    3. Learn what sarcasm is on the board and develop a thick skin, or you won’t like it here.

    I chatted with him via PM about that stuff not being something that should be posted here. Like I told him, I wouldn't say that posting that stuff is a ban-able offense, and I'm not going to go in and delete it, but he needs to be prepared to take crap for it if he doesn't want to edit it out of his thread. I explained that the focus of this board is Japanese vinyl, and that western vinyl is one of the "certain subjects" that shouldn't be shared here.

    It's basically like this - If you come into a new community and post something that the majority of people don't want to see, and they tell you that it's not welcome in that community, I would think the smart thing would be to say, "Okay sorry, I didn't realize that's not welcome here. I'll take it down and won't post about it anymore." He's more or less doing that, but for some reason doesn't want to take it down.

    Well, the first few guys were entirely respectful about telling him exactly this^

    I just tire of the "Nobody is Welcome" greeting people get when they get here. I have no doubt that is what Brain is talking about with other collectors not wanting any part of this forum. Nobody is welcome. Great. Super fun.

    Why don't you guys Articulate what problem you have with a person's post and clue them in? If they still suck after that then by all means get em. Is it just me that thinks this constant making fun of people is sooo 6th grade? Baffled as to why it is allowed. SO Punk Rock.

    Jesus, try having a fucking sense of humor. While we're at it - the DERHP™ gif wasn't directed so much at the OP, but rather at your inane post about bro'ing out with Ferg (which you subsequently deleted) and of course how "nothing's cool here unless Godzilla shit it out in 1971."

    If that's really how you feel and if you really need all to ask all those questions, you have a very poor grasp of a message board you've been on for four years. Not because it's some innate elite knowledge, but because this board has a history and most of these "discussions" tend to repeat themselves again and again and yet again. Use the fucking search. All I'm saying.

    I am bro's with FERG, I just didn't want to come off as a name dropper so I deleted it. Look, I was just trying to back up a friend because he's a good guy.

    Just tell me that you didn't like my post, don't post pictures or gifs, all I'm saying. It's childish, not funny. I don't have a sense of humor when people are just being dicks. Also as you said I have been on this board for years. I do know, and I just tire of this shit man. I got lots of PMs telling me "don't worry about it, you know those guys"

    Speaks for itself really....

    I have no problem taking shit for posting what I posted. I understand it isn't welcome here and like I told the Mod. Take it down if you want to I have no problem with that. Trust me, I have the thick skin I can take the thrashing and by all means I probably deserve it. I made it pretty clear in the title what I was posting and I didn't see the rule about not posting it. I did look for rules but not hard enough. I appreciate the ones of you sticking up for me but you really don't need to. I am not offended and I don't plan on going away. At this point it is probably best that people just stop posting and let the thread die.

    Way to miss the point, but I'm glad to learn that someone agrees with you.

    This is part of the reason other members give a new member crap. Everyone else shouldn't have to clue the new person in, a search through the threads would have explained what is expected on this board. OP mentioned he did that, but not well enough.

    And I have noticed that this "Nobody is Welcome" attitude you mention comes up when a new post is either similar to this one or its nonsense/crap talking. Remember the posts about how dirty and gross Mandarake is? I don't see that happening to anyone on the introductions thread.

    Fair enough Iron paw. I'm talking the bigger picture. I mean it seriously seems like certain people don't work, don't go to school, they just sit and wait on here for someone to make a mistake so they can smite them, disrespect them, laugh at them, or throw the rules in their face. Nobody is exempt either. Brain Flynn himself made a comment about the boards being a place people don't want to be around, and some dudes basically mouthed off back. They completely disrespect artists who come on here and wonder why they don't come around anymore. Humor is fine, shit having a good laugh at Fresh Meat is fine, but you don't even know what you're mad about anymore. You live to be negative. Pick a thread, the same people shit on every single one of them.

    Yo quentor, how about less of the passive-aggressive behaviour? Is that not just as bad as the behaviour that you are criticising? If you're that incensed by other people's behaviour then start naming names, otherwise just let it go. I think you may be surprised to find that the more negative members of this board often tend to be its more upstanding citizens, only sometimes it's hard to see that when they aren't 'hooking you up'.

    You are generalizing the board itself in the exact same way you are accusing "certain people" of generalizing new members.

    If you want to complain about specific members then fine but that isn't what you're doing at all. That deleted statement about how no one here thinks something is cool unless Godzilla shit it out in the 70's is the same thing. First of all it's not true but more importantly you are painting that same negative picture of this place you accuse other people of creating in the first place. There are tons of great people here. Tons of great toy threads(even new ones)that get shown respect and love. Of course there is hate, it's the internet. Some of it is completely understandable and some seems misplaced but that's just how it is. If some dude spends 10 minutes on a sculpt and 5 minutes on a kickstarter and comes HERE to advertise his new kaiju how can that end well?

    I get that you were trying to stick up for a friend but it seems pretty obvious he doesn't need the help. He knows what happened and why and he seems perfectly fine with it all. No harm done.

    I think it's just been on my mind for a while and it was just time it came out. I'm probably way out of line.

    I'm over it, and do want to thank everyone. I continue to love and learn more than I ever thought I could about these toys, the history, the movies they relate to, the whole genre. I do love it here because it is about toys and you guys are serious about it. I do love how everyone is kind of on the same page and there isn't a lot of bullshit, and maybe you guys know something I don't about keeping it that way. I've always been nice to a fault so it's just odd to me to think of that behavior as constructive in any way.

    99 percent of my collection is Japanese vinyl. I'm not really defending Western Vinyl. I do understand that you don't want to see that shit here, so posting that is my bad.

    As far as the people I was talking about anti-social andy and bunnyboy. I have no problem admitting that.

    I'm also quitting smoking so it just hit me that I'm a crabby fucking bastard lately--- so yeah, I might be trippin a bit.

    Sorry for mucking up your thread Crunch...um welcome? :lol:
