Well, if you're goal was to 'attract traffic' to the site, then, again, you'd be better off doing my other recommendations to you (which will work out so much better for you), other than just separating threads into more threads, which is just going to yield the same results in the end as before. You didn't make a change in that, as the searh results will be the exact same, as I've expalined before. So, if this move was just to 'attract traffic', then my response will be the same as it was in the other thread, to be completely honest. Thus, I wasn't a fan of it then, and I'm not a fan of it now.
Especially this time, as this time it feels more like you wanted to keep all of the 'bad' opinions away from the 'good' opinions of this game. Which just seems silly and ridiculous, to be honest. I mean, asking one to help out with adding something like that is one thing, yeah, that's cool and everything. But to do it the way that you did it seems shady to me. I mean, it honestly feels like that whole "yay, we love the game. wait, what, you don't, then get out of here so we can enjoy it without you", type of thing. And instead of promoting discussion and attention and drawing people to it (which is a good thing, and will help out when searching, as it picks up results no matter what thread it's in), it instead promotes separation and distance, not only between the content and opinions, but also the users as well.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I get why you did it. I just think it was done the wrong way. It wasn't handled right, is all. And I felt it sent the wrong message, and won't change the search results at all. Especially for something that you yourself said is 'uncommon' and most people won't search for anyways. But when they do, it'll get pick up wherever it's found. Again, doesn't matter if its in this thread or another, it'll get picked up. I mean, why have a bunch of threads for each opinion on one game. Seems odd. There are ways to improve your 'search results' as well. Tags and keywords and so forth. As well as the other ideas I pointed out last time, among others.
Also, this time, you didn't even ask, you just did it. I mean, I would of written it up properly if you had asked. That post was just a quickly thrown together loose thoughts of mine that doesn't even cover everything. It's not the whole story. It was just a quick recap of my feelins on it. I could of written it out in much more detail and indepth, and presented it all proper like. But, to be honest, at this time, because of this, I'm not feeling up to it right now. Maybe later down the road, but for now, the whole subject of Majora's Mask has just given me a big headache over the years. Like I said, I like to think that it doesn't exist. So, another time... when I feel up to it.
Anyways, just so we are clear, I'm not upset or angry or anything. I just don't agree with how this all went down or how it was handle. I'm 'just saying' is all. That's it. Just saying. I mean, I'm all for higher traffic and all. And I've certainly held my own on this whole Majora's Mask subject with some die hard fans of the game. In fact, I've even changed some peoples opinion on it too, to be honest. Not completely. It's not like they went from absolutely loving the game to absouletly hating it. But they did stop praising it so much, and started to see the flaws of the game much more apparantly, to the point where even they have told other die hard fans to cool it down with the praises, as well as got into some debates and discussions with them over the subject. I didn't tell them to say that or start that with others tho, as everybody is free to have their own opinion. They just did that on their own.
But yeah, higher traffic and discussions are great, and I like being a part of them. Especially when everybody is being civilized, and only keeping it on the product and not the other person. For instance, I would never bash you or anybody here because they liked this game or that. I'll just say, as I have with this, that I don't like it, for this this this and that, etc.etc.. Keeping it on the game itself, and not on the other people in the conversation, as once people start bashing each other, that's when things can get out of hand, and blow up quick. Especially for a game like this, with so many die hard fans. I still can't figure out why so many people love this game, but they do. I just see way too much wrong with the game to enjoy it, so I don't care for it. It wasn't fun for me. It's not 100% terrible or 'the worst game ever', but it's definitely not a Top 10 game, nor a Top 10 Zelda game. Top 15, sure. I wouldn't put it dead last. But I also won't over-rate it either.
