never been to this part of the boards have you? We don't play with KAF because it is cheap and not fun. We prefer to expand on the REAL characters then a beefed up KAK.

Plus there is hardly 16 people that still play this game online. now if you do want to play MKA online and decide to play with real characters instead of KAK then let us know and post you gamertag. Also most of the xbox players are on MKACENTRAL.COM

if you have a ps2 you hight have more luck in that forum. Good luck with this dude

dude here is dead listen to my boy MEsoFLY.

go to the site he mentioned MKACentral.com

and good luck with this

Do you guys get paid to recruit for MKAC? It's just funny how y'all come shouting "YO, GO TO MKACENTRAL.COM. THAT'S WHERE THE PARTY @!".

It's because if we could, we'd abandon this site completely.

It has no advantages over MKAC. Therefore people enjoy MKAC better.

The only reason some of us come here is because some guys don't go over there. So if we could eliminate that inconvenience, it would be nice. That's why we attempt.

You guys should stop just stop posting all together instead of wasting your time visiting 2 sites just to keep up. What's the friggin point?

And for the record, it really doesn't bother me where people post. If both MKO and MKAC seize to exist let's just say we'd all have something better to do with our time instead of fighting some bs online crusade that never stops.

I dont give a shit about this site I've made in the past year like 5 posts only that means a lot, and the reason I check this, once in a while is exactly what Chaos said.

too bad such a nice site but the management is all fucked up. their fucking ego is bigger than Shaquille O'neal

Fuck are you giving a shit about any site for?

Don't you get it? None of the shit matters. Where I post, where you post. Whether or not we even post anything at all. Yet in our minds we've developed this psyche that proclaiming our alliance matters so damn much because we think a virtual society exists. You speak of egotistical management yet You and I and everybody else that reads this on XBL suffers from the very same disease.

I post here because I just do. It's a conscious choice and probably because of my ego. Not because I have some special secret love for any particular site but you guys carry on like the site you post messages actually influences your way of life or something or gives you a sense of fulfillment.

Why bother post once in a while and then go on bitching about friggin management? You guys need to move on from that shit and just enjoy your freedom to post or not post at all instead of bitching about how much you hate one site or love another.

Trax

People post here once in a while because they have respect for community members like yourself, Trax. We'd like to keep you involved with what goes on.

I think you look too much into it. It's really a simple matter.

Everybody just likes MKAC better than MKO. Yes, one of those reasons is because of the way the mods conduct things around here. And while that's a main reason for some people, it's not THE reason for everybody.

It's not a "crusade." That would give too much credit to the situation. Like you mentioned; it's just an online forum.

It's simply an internet community's preference for one site over another. But because the "authorities" here play such a major role in that preference, it apparently presents itself in a different light ot some people.

Look at it like this...

Before MKA existed, people constantly "recruited" people to come to MKO, right? What's the difference now?

The mods here ruin the experience for a lot of people, so I don't care to be around it (same with many others). But I go to another site AND try to get others to another site because it's where most of us enjoy being. NOT because I want to teach the mods here a lesson.

Good points Chaos!

However, there are some contradictions in some of aforementioned comments in relations to the Mods and how they affect people's experience. I have been at the extreme end on both sites so I think I somewhat can relate to this matter than probably most of you.

And if you ask me now what I have I learned from the whole episode; I'd tell you that none of these talks we hold about which site is better actually matters. Even the mere reference to any past event is almost irrelevant. I've learned to let natural laws dictate where people reside and to be as independent in my views as much as I can without wavering, speaking or forcing them on others.

Chaos, I bet you've never been banned (not lately anyway!). You know why that is? Because you understand the unwritten rules. And even though you had your beefs with folks like everyone else you knew how to contain it and knew where to draw the line. That's what most XBL users lacked and that's why we are having this conversation. I think half of the time it's almost too easy to overlook the role we play as individuals and blame the mods for impacting users experience.

Of course the mods are an issue, but the tight community and the freedoms allowed, keep us there. Of course there are rules but they are hard to break because ALL of us understand the etiquette of an online forum. We know how to educate the newest of members on a site and we all know when someone(mkf) is being an idiot.

It seems to me that the mods here think they are the only ones that can call people out. BS rules like (too many emoticons) or (no double posting) or (no all caps).

Since when did we become children again? The average age at MKAC is probably in the 20s...where here (not the online forum per say) is like under 15.

The difference in quality and sheer quantity of people make MKAC a more enjoyable site to be on.

However, the fact that some still post here like yourself trax keeps us coming back. would you rather us not include you and leave you with mkf? i don't think you would like that as much.

So you're saying you guys are doing me a favour by coming here. Do I have a sign on my head that says... "I'm lonely and need saving'?

If you guys all left, how exactly do you think that would impact my existence or social experience?

Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is this - it doesn't bother me where people post and for all I care this place could become a ghost town. If anyone really wants to talk to me we can utilize XBL arcade, right? So let's cut the crap on which site is better and which on sucks and understand that they are nothing but 'text' boards. If I could buy shares in either of them then I would really care which one have more followers. That's why I keep on saying none of this matters. So exercise that freedom to post wherever you want but try and not get all political it.

Trax

Ironically, it is debates like this that makes it easy to love you all and why most of you have my respect but you can all over-complicate life sometimes..lol

i'm not sure how i was getting political.

I agree with Chaos on how simple it is. I think we all really agree but have trouble saying what we want. It is all the same and who cares where people post. We just want to have more people to play at MKAC.

nothing political

What is this? My play ground is hotter than yours? We have better swings and the skater boys are WAAYYYY cooler.

Then Gerchap is talking about management... Is this like Burger King?

----------------------------------

It makes no difference where you guys post. I've had the pleasure of talking to all of you and I'm sure that would continue either through forums or through XBL arcade.

------------------------------------

Trax

PS: And 'NO'.. don't leave me here.. I'd die of loneliness...lol... psyche!

I agree with Trax here, actually he does bring up a valid point...this thread has nothing to do with MKAC vs. MKO yet why was it brought up? lol...

As for advantages, I highly disagree with ya here as far as MK is involved, way better forums on here, way more users, no head mods conning anyone, and seriously Chaos for MK updates MKO is awesome, example the recently MK 8 forums added, future and updates like say MK 3 the movie or MK8 news...you won't see that on MKAC compared to MKO.

This is how it's going to be and always will be, there's players on MKAC that love it there and hate MKO, there's players on here that love MKO and hate MKAC, and there's players that belong to both....no need to name every player because everyone knows which players belong to which categories.


Anywho, Sonic interesting idea but you won't find anyone to have a SF KAK tournament on here or any other MK site no doubt but respect your idea

That's the thing. You may not see a difference in where we post. But we do. It just comes down to us being able to be "big boys" (for lack of a better term) there when we can't here.

Not to say that we're mature (I sure as shit ain't). But like Meso mentioned, among other things, we can handle our own affairs and furthermore make "slight changes" to the site as we go along. We basically do that through the community's input and communication. It's a community-run place. Do you have that here?

And thinking about it... Trax, you're really the only one that's worth coming here for anymore.

Luna, Raidenwins, Atari, Aliens, and anybody else I've recently talked to here is capable of posting at MKAC. So if you're ok with solely communicating through XBL, that's cool. I personally don't see how it's possible to do the same things on XBL as you can in forums, but do what you want, man. Like I said, you're basically the only reason to post here.

You realize you're in the VAST minority with this opinion in the online community, right?

You're one of the only people in the Xbox online community that enjoys the "General Forums" and all those people. As for "more users", you're going to have to point that out to me. If there are more users (and judging by the "Who's Online" sections on both sites, there aren't; but if there are more users here, you know they are all the kids from the "General Forums". They're not the online community (which we all care more about).

And again, you'll have to point out where the head mod on MKAC has conned any of us.

As for updates and such... the only update that's come up in a LONG time has been the recent info on the MK3 movie. AND THAT INFO WAS POSTED ON MKAC 2 DAYS BEFORE MKO. Also, we had the MK8 info from a Midway insider posted at MKAC.

Not to mention that the site is about to be revamped in preparation of MK8. So judging by MKAC's current superiority in design and user-friendliness; it's no stretch to believe it will continue to be better.

You do good impressions, by the way (I saw the vid).

not much else to say there chaos...well said

As far as strickly "xbox live 3D MK forums" yes, I'm well aware however for MK, general and other topics definitely not...just browse the rest of the forums on here man and you'll clearly see what I'm referring to as far as not even being able to compare the user amount or popularity MKO vs. MKAC.


It's like comparing a Corvette to a Ford ThunderBird, Yankees to the Royals......and MKO being the Vette and Yanks in this case. Hear what I'm saying? Don't get me wrong, I know you have no problem with MKAC while you already know my beef, trax's, mav etc so no need for me to get into that again.

As for the MK3 update, yeah it's been a while since most MK sites updated in general but I knew about it few days ago on the site(being the MK fanatic I am) they linked it to as well as constantly checking up on movie sites like www.imdb.com etc, midway, rott tomatoes etc, etc well for obvious reasons...I just wish they'd start production already, the storyline now changed 3 times already(for those of you interested that don't know)

Impressions?


How did you know I do that? lol ohh wait a second I think I know the vid you're referring to, the X-men or Thundercat? Thanks btw, appreciate the compliments.

This is exactly what I was trying to avoid. All of us making direct comparisons about which board sucks and which one rocks.

We seriously need to grow out of that kind of conversation.

--------------------------------------

I hear your point Chaos. I think it was kind of lame of me comparing forum to XBL arcade. Forums definitely hold a community feel advantage over a one-to-one medium like XBL.

----------------------------------------

Anyways, thank you all for making your points while keeping it all contained within the subject.

Trax

Yeah MKF, thanks for keeping that short. There's no point dragging the drama out again. I think it's done now and would be a waste of time going through it all again.

Just so I don't get into a long, drawn-out argument with MKF... I leave it at this...

@MKF.

I understand. I know the rest of MKO has a lot more people here. What I'm saying is that the "quality" of the members at MKAC is better. Not to say that the General Forum guys are nobody, but for our purposes (the online gaming community), we have no need/desire for people like that.

We've gotten to know each other pretty well and it all stemmed from our common interest in MK. From there, we've gotten into our own general discussions about other things. BUT, like I said, it all STEMMED from playing MK online.

If we wanted to have "general" conversations with "general" (anonymous) people, we'd go to a "general" website (which some people do).

I would just think that you, MKF, would have more interest in the Xbox online community (which you are part of) than the general forums. Nobody in any of those other forums will "outsmart" us when it comes to Mortal Kombat, so it seems like we have the better discussions about Mortal Kombat.

That's me.

That's fine, and just want to note that I'm not arguing here but merely agree and disagree with you on some subjects here.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. Just hear me out a sec since It is true that I play MK lots online and have made every relationship to most on here whether positive or negative, but at the same time I enjoy chatting about not only MK but other games as well on some other forums or just the future of MK in general.(which there's now an MK8 forum) I want to take a grab at your view here which you're entitled to but definitely feel that if you like MKAC for your own benefit whatever that's great, like I said I as you know USED to be there but as trax said not going to get into that again at this point, but I wouldn't go as far as to say the "whole" site is superior to MKO just for the online forums, know what I mean? As far as good people, the quality of people(users) on here that most if not all users on here or the xbox players on MKAC aren't even aware of are great people, and I'm not just referring to the general, MKA forums, Mk8, future, some in classic and the art forums. Another reason for this Chaos is as you know, I was one of the first xbox live MKD players to post on here, Red, MasterMalone and Alexie were here before me, but I came around a little after them then everyone else here you see came along so I've belonged and have this deep relationship with lots of users on here that you guys have never heard of that are really cool people.

On the other hand, I see what you're saying with strickly "online " community which is fine, however I just want to let you know that there's some casual players on here or even competitive that don't make it a habit to be known that for some reason only post on the MKA forums and some in general (believe it or not) enjoy playing MK online via xbox or PS2, they just don't go nuts posting on the online forums in general.

There's also those users who play all kinds of games and not "just MK" I too enjoy playing different games, but of course MK all the time. It won't always be an online MK either, lately I've been rotating between the MK adventure games, MK 4 and Deadly Alliance.
