A while back I posted the following entry on the PS3 SFIV forum. Within days, the thread disappeared from the highly active board, and I thought my posting lost forever; however, I recently relocated it, archived on the GameFAQs site (I didn't know that what gets lost on GameSpot gets preserved on GameFAQs--I'm confused about how these two sites jive). Anyway, before I lost my favourite forum post again, I thought I'd post a copy of it here for posterity:
Dear everyone who posts on the gamespot/gamefaqs PS3 SFIV forum,
I've been checking this forum almost daily since I got SFIV a couple months ago. I'm sure many of you are aware of all the hate, negativity, and divisiveness going on here amidst the sincere attempts at knowledge transfer and social networking. A forum such as this is an opportunity to bring people with a like interest together, an opportunity for solidarity. So, why the hate?
I love Street Fighter IV (and you might expect that everyone on this forum would too, but the amount of bad-mouthing that goes on about every aspect of the game sometimes appears to belie that) and I love the community that has developed and is continuing to develop around the game-even those who spread negativity; the scene wouldn't be what it is without you, and your posts are often pretty funny. But, I feel more love and understanding is needed here. So, as a minor contribution to counter some of the negativity on this board, I'm devoting this thread to unconditional love, particularly to those who don't always receive it.
