I'm sure it's not wise for me to ask this, but as having nothing to lose on this site as of yet, then I might as well ask....
Why the hate on MLS? Sure it's a better site, and it gets more visitors and members, but surely this board has something that MLS doesn't have. (Like the separate Battle Network sub-forum, and sub-forums for other Megaman series.)
*prepares for the gunning down*

It's primarily due to the mass exodus when a lot of members who started here moved over there, and the contempt for this site they openly shared when they left. And it primarily revolves around the word "spam" which also apparently includes casual conversation, going off-topic (which is typical in ANY conversation), and using bad grammar. In general, they had this all-around unreasonalbe expectation where people have to be perfect human beings when they make a post and had to conform to their standards to the point of holding them over their helds.
So basically, a bunch of snobs they said "screw you, we're going someplace else and post counts are earned by what you can do for us. And you'll post in the way we want you to or your account will be in jeopardy." Lots of bridges were burned in the process.
At least that's the way it was a few years back. I haven't been keeping tabs on them for the past several years but that's how it was.
So the animosity we hold towards them is mutual with the animosity they hold towards us.

So in other words it's just a mashed-together hate-fest of opposing views? That's pretty retarded pointless to get in a huff over. I mean, sure, they aparently had contempt for this site, but dangit, that doesn't mean you get to talk shiz about the site behind its back (even though you found out about it later).
On the spam thing: All I ever do is post in their General Discussion>Mumbo Jumbo sub-board. (I haven't played any of the Legends games, nor any of the other MM games, save for the Zero series, and I have self-spoiled the BN series, so I'm not much of the actual game discussion-type. (Unless provoked into it.))
Basically, it's just a bunch of stupid BS, right?

There's also the part which I conventiently forgot to mention.
The part where they show up every now and then with their better-than-thou attitude in order to yell at us or chastise us about something.
And therefore, you just reinforced everything I said up above. The cycle is complete once again.

..... Wait, what?
I still don't see why everyone has to be an ass about it instead of being civilized about it.
.... Though I can see why you'd be angry, since those that left talked shit and continue to every once in a while.....
.......... It'd be a good idea for me to drop this, wouldn't it?

That's kind of ridiculous Sim, you don't know if Saito was just asking, and I'm sorry, it IS totally pointless to get in a huff over. Just because they run it differently, you are STILL mad at them? Or just because you hold a grudge that's like... 6 years old, that's pretty dumb. Of course, if they do the same thing, then they would be dumb too, but they don't. Perhaps every time they come here and say its stupid is because you immediately destroy them and get mad about the whole thing. The person posting right now has 5 posts total... from this thread... you basically came in and completely threw down the gauntlet for no reason. I've been on MLS recently and they really don't care. And I understand why you were mad at them before, obviously people can't be perfect in posting, and it really IS more about the quality of a person and their posts, how much they add to the site individually by how much they add quantitatively, but just because you got in a fight with them forever ago doesn't mean its the same. Fab doesn't even barely go there anymore, and to be honest, you just avoid the site now cause it pisses you off. It's just not very reasonable, and I talked with a few of them recently, and they were really surprised that you still held this feeling against them STILL. Don't you think its time to get over your little lover's quarrel?

If Saito's post was any indication, they haven't let it go, either. And I've seen hints and evidence on the Dev Room that confirms it. So yeah, the responsible thing to do right now is lock this before it gets out of hand AGAIN.
