People are STILL complaining about this?

Actually, I find both to be highly irksome, mainly because after so many years, GSN still looks like a second-rate operation with the way they mishandle both. They still cut the squeezed credits off midway through the fee plugs, and still have no learned how to speed up a show properly. If you can't manage to show that you give a damn about how your product looks on air, why should I give one?

My biggest problem is that networks claim they do it to keep people tuned in. If someone wants to watch the next program bad enough, I think they will.

It takes certain criteria in order to qualify for such punishment, and likely according to the moderators, those "so-called" silly posts likely do not meet that criteria.

No, silly posts won't get you booted. Making continuous posts that were detrimental to certain groups of people was a likely factor.

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.

Jonsea made another account because he was being "Harassed" by another user on his Jonsea31 account. He showed me this so called "Harassment", and it wasn't that big of a deal.

BTW Chad, This is the user you're talking about.

Yep. May be right. I was going to guess he was also this person. Who also said that if Dawson Feud leaves then "good riddance" and complained about kissing of female contestants. I don't know (or care to know) who's who there really. I haven't read anything on the GSN boards in years. Just checked out the first few on the Feud "Richard Mix-up" thread there and closed the window for another few years.....

Ah, cool I was right. Xavier beat me to it. I had the reply screen up on here then found the link but was 5 min late. For being someone who "only posts there (GSN) in the evenings" he sure does post a lot during the day!

At least you offer a legitimate reason behind your complaint and not just going "OMG THIS SUX!!!!!"

Or citing his extensive tape library.

JMFabiano · « **Reply #25 on:** September 13, 2010, 09:32:08 PM »

Huh. I thought Dawson Feud was one of the only two classics (MG being the other) that GSN thought enough of to warrant not reducing to a leased package. I should be glad the channel's pretty much dead to me now, huh?

Yeah a GSN2 might be a bit unrealistic (I'd point out Boomerang as an aversion to this, but even they are compromising their pre-90s content...which kind of makes sense cause that can be up to 20 years old by now). A Hulu-like site would be nice, because reality be damned, it would still be a shame to lose everything pre-'80s forever. (A world where things Britney are considered timeless? Yuck...)

And how about Mill Creek? Or did BCI's sets not do well enough to warrant them reviving the defunct company's plans for WML and Tattletales?

Well, I have about 15 years of tape trading and recording GSN when it was good, I shouldn't complain, should I?

(Assuming that was about me) I don't have an extensive tape library of game shows.

I have to admit I don't pay close attention to every slight, real or imagined, around here, but then why would you make the assumption in the first place?

Vahan_Nisanian · « **Reply #28 on:** September 13, 2010, 11:53:07 PM »

Just a simple misunderstanding.

You are far from the only (or even most famous) person to complain about shows not being broadcast in pristine condition for the sake of the seven VCRs you are rolling 24 hours a day.

(If you ever have at all; honestly it all lumps together after a while. If the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it. Simple.
