I just want to know, as a CastleVania Dungeonite, if this forum can still be considered a CastleVania forum...

well, i must say i got a little disapointed when i started to see that the forum has what?maybe only me, now you (feels better :) ) that is actually a fan, a great fan...oh, i forgot darkmoon wich is a great guy and an awesome castlevania freak, his comics are grrreat have you seen them?
the threads i do about games and stuff die with 4 or 5 posts...and senseless ones...

I can clear it up for you right now.  It's not a Castlevania forum, and was intended as such for maybe, like, three days.

It was mostly intended for CV RPG/DSWC/General/some Video Game discussion.

RSU, ICVD, and CVR really had pretty decent Video Game sections, so we saw no need to be redundant.

Slayer- that doesn't mean that we don't encourage discussion in all the forums (including Video Games- that's why it's there).  It's just not a "Castlevania" forum.  Besides, there are many other fun video games out there to talk about too. ;)

Because you are a new here, and you haven't learned how to act yet. That's why. Since contrary to popular belief, everything does NOT belong in the DMFA subforum. Go back there to whine.

So... let's tackle this in order.

1. I have to act like a prick? Nope, sorry. Not my style. I'll stick to attacking people who deserve it.

2. You don't seem to understand what that phrase means, do you? Sorry, but until you re-learn English, I won't listen to that

dear lord.

Back on topic.  Now.

Paavo, you have 24 hours to figure out that this is not ICVD.  Of course, you will most likely not see this until after those 24 hours are up, so hopefully someone will be kind and IM you.  (for those of you who are curious, please see the PS3 thread in the VG forum).

Leafer, don't you even start pointing fingers.  You've been acting better, but you're still far from perfect yourself.

Aridas, much as I can understand your frustration, it would perhaps be best to leave the crusading to the moderation staff.

Now, end of arguement, or the thread is closed.

Slayer, you may now have back your thread to discuss Castlevania and those that love it.

Oh, speaking of which, to answer Slayer's question, which I think was already answered but I don't remember and am too lazy to check: Yes and no. I mean, the people in the forum don't change how the forum works itself. While the people here either don't know of castlevania or aren't castlevania nuts, that doesn't mean this forum has changed. The forum that originally belonged here is still here, with a new pal. The VG threads are being populated by a better variety of posts, but that also doesn't mean you can't post CV stuff. The poll's good for curiosity but doesn't do well to explain the state of the forum.

She's also taken, Leafar. Even your golden good looks can't get you in there.

I'd say you should back off, but, y'know, it's all up to you. :-)


Incidentally, back on topic, I can't say I've ever seen castlevania, unfortunately. But then, I'm kinda lax on keeping up with games that have been out for less than 5 years.

Or more than. :-)

I am neither of those, and I've fair-and-square beaten (exception of the occasional map-glance from GameFAQs, because my memory of where every single item is is not, like, miraculous) SotN twice in "Alucard" mode now.

Sword Familiar ftw. Attack power of 149 >:3 I beat it once over the span of a three-day weekend, and regularly listen to the soundtrack from Symphony. If it wasn't for the personal value of it (it is one of those CDs that one treasures almost as much as one's Deus Ex CD), I'd almost be inclined to see how much I could sell it for. ;)

If this forum supposedly has nothing to do with Castlevania, then...

1. Why is it still directly linked as the forum for The Inverted CASTLEVANIA Dungeon? // Misleading.

2. Why are there a ton of CASTLEVNIA graphics (not CVRPG) used the the layout?

3. The site this is on has detailed info about every CASTLEVANIA game to come out.

I don't see any details about this "furry" stuff anywhere except this forum.

I think ICVD should either link the forum button to the REAL ICVD forums, or simply move on with life.

Post by: Damaris on September 11, 2006, 10:51:09 AM
To answer questions:

It is designed as such because Darkmoon wanted it that way.  There is a DMFA and CV RPG skin available as well.

It is linked as such because Darkmoon wanted it to be.  This is the official discussion forum of CV RPG and DSWC- both of which are major sections of the ICVD:The Site.  Additioanlly, it does have a video game forum, which, in case you were confused, includes Castlevania as a potential topic. 

If the posting ever necessitated it, a Castlevania-only section would be made.  However, with the limited frequency of Castlevania posts (and quite frankly, any VG posts) prior to the merger, there was no need to seperate them into two forums. 

Posters are always welcome to ask the mods to add a section, and we will take a look at the posting or poster interests to see if there is a necessity.  That's how the Art forum got started.

Outside of the DMFA and Art forum, I don't see a lot of "this furry stuff" in converstation.  Yeah, they may have "furry" sigs and avatars, but most of the time they act like the normal, well-adjusted people that they are.  So I'm not exactly sure what the problem is here.

And Slayer- we're not going into the "who said what" "who hates who" "who thinks who is evil" of the whole Castlevania Site/Forum family.  It frankly doesn't matter.  We're here, they're there, some people come to both, and that's that.

Well, aside from the fact that a Castlevania site links to a non-Castlevania forum. Just keep the CMF link on the CM Site, it's annoying talking to other dungeonites that think this forum is the real ICVD because they stumbled upon here from the inverteddungeon.com website and then bitch about all the furry/anthro fans. You don't want Castlevania people coming here and trashing the comic forum, then that's the measure you'll have to take.

As far as Darkmoon is concerned, this is the real Inverted Dungeon Forum. 

It's where he wants people to go to discuss information found on his site.  That's his perogative.  Unfortunately, since he owns the domain name, it's something people will just have to live with and adapt to.

Additionally, unless Castlevania has become a bizarre game done though only interpretive dance, I don't think anyone is stopping people from talking about it.

I will, however, have to draw the line at interpretive dance.

I voted 'I'll play them occasionally', although I have played through SotN a good number of times, as well as beating AoS and Chronicles once each. I guess that doesn't exactly make me a hardcore CV-fan, but I still love the games (the Metroid-like ones in particular).
