I for one, have not left for AiB. Not officially. But really, I refuse to leave. I don't want to. Everyone else might have but not me. I'm not going anywhere. This is where Link's whole metagame was created. Moving to AiB just to expand it? No. It begins here and ends here.

I stay.

At least AiB is a better place to socialize, which apparently is your guys' problem ATM.

Well you can blame the other Link players,picking a fight with the mods.It may be the other way around,but the result is the same,DO NOT PISS OFF THE MODS!!!!! Well you can take a look at AiB and still be on smashboards.

I never liked the Brawl Link board. Both times I've been there, 90% of the users were obnoxious jerks. ONly a few people were actually friendly. and most character boards I've been to have had friendly people. I dunno.

I'm laughing so hard right now. People getting butthurt on the internet are so funny to watch. Especially when you aren't saying anything bad about them. Just making innuendos and laughing at them is enough to make people go 'URGH TROLL IMA REPORT YOU BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE THERE IS NO REPORT BUTTON'

hmm.. they might possibly not be nice due to the fact everyone talks down at link.. he is underrated. i do get annoyed when people just **** talk about the character you love, but screw love, im ditching him because all of my friends now use him. (i have individuality issues.. dun like being the same) only among my social group though..

and because i have this inability to use him to his full capacity lol

They aren't nice. It really annoys me too. I made a topic there that didn't bash Link or insult him or anything like that. Just a question. and they all turned into... well, I can't say that on this board. But you get the idea.
However, there were a few nice people there. I just wonder how they put up with the idiots that do post there

wow everyone hates the link boards.........it's so sad
Yeah and it's the Link Mains' fault. You don't hear people saying "Oooh I hate the *insert char name* boards, because most boards have a friendly and intelligent community behind them. Of course, there are several exceptions, but for the most part, most boards are pretty nice.
So yes, it is sad that everyone hates the Link Boards, it's sad that a whole community can be so unpleasant as to cause people to dislike them.

But the Yoshi Boards are nice. ;D

no people just hate them because everyone hates one guy. and i don't see how it's the link mains' fault that people are just stupid and hate that particular board for no reason. i was in that board a lot and the only person anyone hated was aura for his flaming but everyone else was nice there's no real reason why those boards are hated.

Do you see anyone hating the Falcon/Ganon/Samus/Sonic boards etc?
Can't say I've heard of it.

Hardly. In fact, people respect others who use low characters well. Nobody hates CF, or Ganon. I hate the Link boards simply because the people there were jerks to me and others for no reason.

are you serious? sonic boards? really? i've heard a lot and my friend goes there a lot and he has seen that stuff too. there is no point in hating a board for no reason. there's a good reason why all the Link's left and why i barely go here too. it's because of the mods not because people hate the boards. and yes the ganon boards have had things locked by the mods as well. their tier list was locked just like the link's.

Main-based segregation? On MY Smashboards?

There's so much I'm unaware of..........

From what I read in the first post, I thought it was the boards against the mods......

The mods are pretty cool if you don't act like a complete ******.
They don't immediately hate you when they give you an infraction, they do it because you break the rules.
I've got my fair share, but believe it or not, if you don't piss and moan and just brush it off, there's no animosity.
But nah, f*** it, fight the powaaaaa! Nazi Mod Scum!!1!!1one!1! :mad088::mad088:

The_Altrox i saw that thread you made a while ago at the Link boards and there is no reason why you should hate them at all. when you make a thread in ANY yes ANY board that has already been there REPEATEDLY you are gonna have people tell you to use the search button. when swordplay made the post he wasn't bashing but telling you what was wrong with the thread. but AURA is known for over reaction and flame but there is no good reason for hating the Links. every board gets annoyed for repeated spam and singling out ONE board is stupid. you should have known this but before making a thread you are supposed to use the search button to see if there was a thread already made and you didn't do that. i'm not flaming you or anything but i'm just telling what i saw.

Um... I didn't see that thread existing. and if it did, a simple "this has already been done" should have been said. all out trolling isn't going to improve your reputation as a board.

well we were trying to do a sort of tier list thing as a Link community and it was for people who wanted to participate in it. it was just a way to see who were the best Links. it was just for fun but i guess the mods took it seriously and said it was a way for telling other people they suck. then we wanted to make some sort of Link combo video and have people participate but then the mods locked that too so everyone left for AiB so that we could have a little more freedom.

Oh...well, I'm going to go check out how bad the boards really are. They can't be that bad.

Right?

The place isn't that bad...just like a graveyard that still has people alive under the headstones. You just gotta bury them up and revive the place. I can see why a lot of people left though, maybe I should go there more often to read the guides and stuff, some of the posts I read were really friendly and inviting.

If you wanted my opinion, a lot of n00bs are attracted to cool sword characters like Link, right? A lot of those n00bs ask a bunch of really basic questions, and it gets the hardened Link players mad. That causes a bunch of flaming and eventually interaction with mods.

If you guys need something I have a list of all Links damage inflicting moves, and how to get the highest possible damage out of them. It's pretty cool actually IMO.

that's exactly what i've been trying to say but some people don't get the idea. after many of the same questions have been asked people get annoyed. and there's stuff about his moves already but at least your trying. and the Links will come back once things cool down but lots of people were really unhappy.

I wasn't talki g about that post. The reason I was trying to make that topic was for data that I was trying to collect. It didn't work out, but still. 90% of the posters were being jerks, and almost to a point arrogant. They also trolled a friend of mine who thought he might of found a new Link trick, but instead of simply saying "we know this already" they started to troll the guy who was trying to improve Link for the community's sake. Bottom line: many people there are jerks. not all of them. but a lot of them. and it's easy to see why others think so too.

Yeah, the Links (and Link in-game) are too angry that Link has not been improved much throughout the entire Smash series.....

I'm a Link main though, so I am immune to their flaming XD

I don't know why everyone hates them. I frequent ALL the boards lol
