SC going under

[Verde]

Well it appears as though the infamous Sonic-Cult.org is going to become no more soon. Fun while it lasted, though.

This is good news, those Tails hateing bastards! Althought mabey we should get all the info we can while there still there.

[Kogen]

I don't really know if I belive that or not. I have zero trust in anything he says.

It's a logical choice though. A forum filled with negativity will lose the interest of the members (and even faster for the admin). Nothing new goes on when it involves spam or criticism. People there have the same "no care" attitude with everything. They refuse to show satisfaction or appreciation for anything, while at the same time, they are easily amused by everything. It gets really boring hearing them talk about other people for the same reasons over and over. Forums are meant to be moderated in a professional way, not a personal way. People were getting banned there just because someone higher up didn't like them or they didn't fit in with their opinions. Where is the freedom in that? That's exactly why you can't expect to find anything new or interesting. It's all because everyone is forced to act the same in order to survive. The emotion and friendship has become nothing but a heartless routine built by fear of being an outcast.

I don't wish for or favor the demise of Sonic Cult, but Reala doesn't receive any support, praise, or respect from his members. Just like the atmosphere of the forum, they have absolutely no care about what happens. Reala raised them to behave that way and now he's sick of them.

[Teepo]

It's really all Reala's fault, if he had changed hid additude so would him members.

Reala said:

I'm in the process of developing a new site, and leaving this era of my life behind. I don't plan on shutting it down right away, because I'm still going to give a few people time to decide if they want it.

He says hes working on a new site, dratomic's educated guesses are: A) another Sonic site, B) relaunch of SC or a former CulT site, C) non-Sonic site

He also says hes in talks with handing over the ownership of SC to some people. Well who wouldn't want to own a resource like SC? You can't just let all that information go down the drain.

[Xen Zeratul]

Maybe, but when someone else takes over, those down and out people will get MORE down and out and that will quickly slip.

[Marik]

Too bad, I saw this. Well Sonic's dead now cause of the declining of quality from Sonic Team. Sonic sites will just die off slowly.

[Tails]

Sonic Cult is gone, and just like Reala, I could careless. Their sonic-related gaming news that they ripped straight from the source was always very interesting, but the entire community's foul-mouth obsession and "so angry at life" attitude made visitors feel unwelcomed. Reala never showed the least bit of concern or appreciation for Sonic, which blows my mind. Why would he run a site dedicated to something, and work so hard on it, when he doens't care about it one bit? He must have gotten lost in the cesspool of idioticy he created, and he has lost his original motive for creating that site.

I doubt another sonic site is in the works. Maybe a pro-Satan site (lol)... but no, not another sonic site. I mean, for what reason would Reala be compelled to do so? His last sonic site attempt lasted a while, but soon failed. If he has no further interest in Sonic, why go on?

One thing is for certain, Reala isn't a people-person.

IGN? i never thought ign would want such a site

[Verde]

Ah, well it looks like someone bought it. And IGN probably wants it just for the domain name, so people would be re-directed to crappy IGN.com.

[Tails]

Who says IGN is going to purchase the domain? Are you telling me you actually believe Reala?!

Sure, whether he is lying or not isn't clearly apparent, but just because he says, "This is not a joke. This is not a hoax. This is not a prank.", doesn't mean it applies to the info about IGN.

IGN may truly be offering to buy the site, but as of now we have no proof... except for the words coming out of Reala's mouth... and he can't be trusted. He's a crude, disrespectful, careless person.

And if he is telling the truth... this situation is a replica of The Boy Who Cried Wolf... because when he's finally honsest, nobody believes him (atleast I don't)... lol.

[tailsx2]

First off sorry for the late reply to this topic and secondly, SC has gone into new ownership. It would seem that a member of the forums has purchased the site for $850. So I wouldn't expect to see a change in peoples attitudes on the forums, but I guess that it's good that this resource has been saved.

[Verde]

Reala gave quite a farewell speech, don't you think?

[leopordls]

They've "gone under" many times before. When I had CMCT, it went down at least twice and came back. Screw the forums, but all the info was cool. It was fun to read all that stuff and their relentlessness with cussing as well.

[Viciousman]

I'm gonna copy all the proto screens and save them on my HD.

[Krazed Kitsune]

No way, Sonic can't go under!
Sonic Team is making some cruddy 3d games, but not enough to say 'Sonic is going under'.
The most well-know and best accomplished game mascot will not die simply because Yuji Naka and the current Sonic Team crew are dumbarses.
I know I have a bit of an open dislike for Yuji, but not even HE is stupid enough to cause Sonic's demise. And he's pretty stupid.
Actually, I don't really hate Yuji, it's just he doesn't treat Tails very well. Poor kitsune... I hope he gets fed.
