Stop being leeches you rodeo marionettes, god, suck ups.

There's no reason to care about the individual ratings on AB, there are some absolutely atrocious games on this site with good scores, and good games with bad scores. It really doesn't matter all that much.

And WHY the *dirtyword* are those people rating anyway? What are those people doing on abandonia anyways if they don't care about old games?

In the end opinions really are like *earlobes*; even though everyone has one, a lot of them are just pointless

If commenting would be a little easier (not every noob knows how to enter forum) probably not only the score would be as it is. Also we would have a lot of comments like: "it is crap", "I love it", "I love Kate" "lol, I can write" ... It's the way the Internet works nowadays. There was a thread about it somewhere, probably created by Mighty Midget and was about commenting movies on YouTube at the beginning.

Maybe number of posts is somewhat connected to quality of game? You know - if it is good there is a lot to talk about ... someone could check it

I disagree: a score is a good way for someone to decide whether to try a game IF the scores are reliable and on AB, they aren't AT ALL. The system easily be changed by removing the vote option for unregistered members.

a) it would encourage more people to sign up and might bring more life to the forum
b) it would stop idiots from randomly voting 0.

Remember the ancient Hot or Not website? It let you see the kind of votes someone got and you saw a lot of good looking girls & guys getting loads of zeroes. It's indeed the way the internet works - people can be jealous or petty or childish.

Slight adjustment: The people who did that deserve to use Vista forever at a horrible place that even would be a horrible place when they wouldn't have to use Vista there at all.

Next Vista edition: Vista forever!
