Absolutely 100% agreed. I seriously don't know why people come on here to troll about the game never coming out or the continual bashing of
people who think the game will actually ship. I used to visit the site here daily but the rampant trolling has soured me.
This is supposed to be a fan site dedicated to DNF and it has sadly become a haven for trolls and negativity. It's not fun anymore. That
the mods here continue to ignore obvious trolling, name calling and now calls for "taking people out" is just fucking crazy. Seriously guys?
Yatta-no matter your personal feelings about George, you are running a fan-site for Duke Nukem Forever. A haven for those people who believe in the game and want to play it one day. That's why you created it. Let's get back to the fun and see if we can't clean this place up a bit. Please. I want the fun back here.
The future is going to be bright here shortly, you can take this site to the top or let the trolls fester in it long enough to kill it.
Thanks,
Kaiser
I understand where you're coming from and I know the negativity has soured our atmosphere, but I have a thing against banning/deleting/censoring posts unless they're outright spam. I also understand some of the hatred coming from disappointed fans, but I agree with you 100% on the outlook of the game as well as this being a fansite dedicated to DNF. I think the best compromise is for those of us who are bitter to solely channel our negativity toward the responsible parties (ex. 3DR or George Broussard) instead of being negative with the game itself, which at its current state has NOTHING to do with 3D Realms (not even in a Max Payne way).

I agree with Lotan on principle that this thread and forum section should be closed. However, the fact that the DNF section on 3DR's site is open is enough to keep this one open as well. People just need to cool down and not post the first thing that pops in their head every time they think of DNF.
I have no intention of closing this forum section, and you can actually expect for it to get expanded granted I share Kaiser's positive view on the short-term outlook of the game's development status. Despite the rumors and the trolls, some people here who may appear crazy are actually reasonably curious. NukemDave and Jobi are enthusiastic for good reason, even if they may not know it for sure yet. There are some hints that no one should miss, and once again I'd like to stress this news item:

I understand where you're coming from but I still think some people are being a bit extreme here.
Jobi is an extremely passionate fan. I personally think he's a fun guy to have around. As for "rumor" spreading....sometimes people do know/come across/associate with people "in the know" and things are talked about. Jobi may know somebody with knowledge that passed the blurb to him. Or not. I simply don't know.
I can tell you I personally would never compromise a source. Doesn't automatically make me a troll if I decide to post a blurb and not mention the source of the news/rumor either. Hell, half the newspapers probably wouldn't get their headlines or major stories without "sources" and guess what, they don't disclose who
their sources are either if those "sources" want to remain off the record!
As for Nukem Dave, Scott's girlfriend and Facebook-I see no problem with it(well, except for the fact I utterly despise Facebook and it can burn in a lake of fucking fire). If Scott's girlfriend accepted NukemDave's friendship request(and she apparently has done so) I fail to see why anyone has a problem with that. That's between them. This is simply a case of looking "too far into" an issue and seeing a problem when there is none. Period. End of story.
Things will get better here shortly when news starts to break on the game.
Agreed with everything here, as far as Jobi, sources, and things getting better are concerned. I have good reason to support Kaiser here and I am neither crazy nor obsessed with the game. And this means a lot, granted that knowing me you'll know how negative and doubtful I can be when it's come to 3DR/GB the past year.
That being said, I have no intention of censoring people who want to express negativity, doubt, or anger when it comes to DNF, overly-enthusiastic fans, Facebook matters, or whatever. You're entitled to your opinion and the last thing I will do is take away your privilege to express it.

I prefer to look at it this way;
If news DOES break about the game, like it's being released sooner than we think or something major like that, then we can have a grand old time with it. Even if it's minor, it's probably better than nothing.
If news doesn't break, then it's nothing we're not already used to.
I'd say don't get your hopes up, but just take it as it comes, if it does
News will break, we will have a grand old time, and start getting your hopes up, just slightly. Amongst this madness there may be some truth.
