The Anti Season 4 Thread (Spoilers). For complaints and misgivings ONLY.

When was that??? o.O

Right before the premiere. Darren apparently didn't take too kindly to all the new spam threads encouraging people to watch the show LIVE!!!111!!! See his warning/announcement in the second post here.

ZOMG how horrible!

I had good news at uni today so I decided to play a little with Photoshop...

I just wanted to stop by and wave my stinky socks around

Two, my interpretation of ShadowMaats' post is that by the "mindless zombie" statement that she was referring to the actual organized by MGM movement in which a bunch of fans spammed GW with posts asking people to watch live so it's not a slam against pros in general but I would like to caution that people take care with their phrasing (not just Shadow).

I've changed the wording, but my issue wasn't with pros in general so much as it was with the people who seemed to think that fans on Gateworld- a Stargate-centric site devoted primarily to Stargate fans- needed to be told to watch the premiere live. But perhaps I'll save that issue for another thread.

I still think that the campaign is a mark of desperation by MGM. Any time TPTB or the studio Suits start begging people to watch their show it isn't a healthy sign.

Heh. Nice.

And people are seriously "complaining" to moderators that they are possibly being made fun of in a thread on a sci-fi forum on the internet whose sole existence is to discuss a viewpoint antithetical to theirs? Wow.

Send them my way and I'll explain to them what a Life is

[Skydiver]

Oh yeah, how annoying was that? MGM was encouraging people to spam forums by giving out "rewards" like wallpaper and videos and whatever the hell. Nice.

they call it Team Stargate and it's still going on. I get hit by that spam all the time...and that's all it is, a spam campaign

The thing is, folks that are doing it are NOT supposed to be blanketing stargate forums. We already know the schtick. they're supposed to be hitting the masses

but since it is spam that's kinda hard to do

Surely Spam is Spam, however it's tarted up and whoever's given the go ahead for it

[Skydiver]

spam is spam

but this is one of the first times that a reputable company is literally 'paying' fans to post thier spam

you make posts, send back some proof, and earn points towards getting stuff

[Fionnait]

Heck, why not? Should we hold an anti-election or something?

Great idea... So, who is against JF being an honorary member of the Anti-Tread?

Maybe someone should send him a photo of the anti couch?

What's the anti couch? Please inaugurate a newbie like me (can you actually use inaugurate in that context??)

[Falcon Horus]

I have no issues to make JF an honorary Anti-member. I'll even create him a batch if the need should arise.

And I realized something today... My internet is out of wank and I was supposed to obtain Reunion but I just couldn't get my webpages to load properly so I had to wait...and I just didn't care about it. I was like "Oh well, it's just Atlantis".

Secondly I don't care if there's a season 5 anymore. I used to care but since Doppelganger that changed. Those who know will know why, others who don't know and haven't seen the episode yet will soon know. I'm apparently associated with this particular character.
The thrill of the wait is gone, the thrill of seeing my fave character again is gone. Thank you TPTB for ruining my favorite show.

A bunch of posters decided that this thread needed symbolic couches to provide relief both from the show and general forum insanity. So it's common for people to pop in here and collapse on the couch. Who's got a pic of that anti couch?

Yeah, you'd think most of the people on GW either 1) are already going to watch the show live anyway or 2) are not going to watch live but know about Nielsen boxes thanks to the ratings threads beating that into everyone.

But if I was a random person on, say, an anime forum and saw a "WATCH IT LIVE!!!!111!!!" post my first response would be

Secondly I don't care if there's a season 5 anymore.

My attitude has also changed over the years from "Will SGA get renewed?" to "Will I care if it is?" At this point, I'm not sure if I'm going to watch next season. Heck, I haven't even watched DG yet even though lots of fans have posted how great it is.

gads i can't believe this is an actual campaign! but in someways i'm not surprised. I was told today by someone i should just lie and say i watch so i will be respected...please!
