It’s not often I post this quickly after Q but this time I feel I have to.

This TI debate seems to have got out of hand – some like it, some don’t.

But I’m going to look at it as an outsider!

TI seems to be a place where – in reality – if your face or stance doesn’t fit, it isn’t worth listening to you.

I’ve been a member on TI for nearly a year and I have no complaints about that but…

It seems to be one of those places that I’ve visited over the last few years, cough*Susie*cough*Dugout*cough*Get-Manageing*cough, that has a very staid clique.

God forsake the day that I fall into that category, but TI has.

If your not “with” the staff your not anyone.

Thank goodness that there is other sites on the scene that seem to have a friendlier point of view – Manager Crisis, Weegie, Susie – even the SI forums!

If TI ever get to the stage where the people running it take they’re own heads out of they’re arse then they may realise that there is a site where people might want to stick to.

If TI is the place that “newbies” come to first then I’m worried for the scene.

It is actually the last place I would recommend people post if i was asked -thankfully I never am or TI wouldn’t be getting many new members.

I seem to remember this happening to various other sites on the scene and it was shot down quickly, but it seems to me that this is an on going problem with TI – and dependent on the people running it may be for a while.

I’m not a “scene whore” like some people claim Q to be, I’m just someone who wants to find somewhere they can call “home”.

If the boys from TI have a problem about that then fine – I don’t give a fuck, as I for one want to be happy at the place I call my FM home.

Actually I’d rather cancel all my accounts at all the FM sites I’m registered at than call TI home!

I’ve been treated there as nothin more than a “newbie” for all the time I’ve been there even tho I remember SI producing games for the Amiga in 1992 – When I started playing them!!!!!!!!

Either I’m old or there are people the same age as my daughter (11 if your wondering) running the scene.

If that’s the case then god help us all.

Seriously, I mean that!
