Whenever the summer comes around there's always an influx of new nes sites to the scene. Most of them update okay until summer ends as people have to get back to their daily lives (if they have one). This is pretty understandable. Most people have other more important obligations outside of the internet world which may interfere with the time factor of actually keeping a site up to date. I hate the idea of being held hostage by your own web site. That's why I'll never set a date on anything I do ("we update daily!"). It's to much pressure for me. I'd rather go at my own pace and submit good quality stuff people will appreciate. There's no point in updating just for the sake of UPDATING! Maybe if I had a staff working for me I'd be able to submit things more regularily. I thought this topic was about nesland? Seeing that this rant has veered way off topic, I'll just go onto the next paragraph...nesland

I first heard about Nesland over at NES World's messageboard in June of 2003. Ernster seemed like an enthusiastic person who was very fond of his own website. He sounded like an okay guy that just liked spamming a lot (what do you think of my site?). He also liked comparing Nes Land to Nes World. Martin didn't take his agressive humor lightly though and eventually after enough aggravation over stupid topics like "The Official Nes Land Thread", Ernster was banned from Nesworld FOREVER!!!!!...how dramatic

After a couple flaming incidence involving a few regulars from Nesland's messageboard, the webmaster of nesplayer posted a topic at Nesland regarding an article on Ernster's site. Here's what happened...

Hi, a little bit of advice.

Posted by Mike This isn't really a complaint, just some advice for you later. If you're trying to report on something hardware or history, feel free to browse around other NES fansites to get the information. Just make sure to add a foot note at the end of the article if you use any kind of images or lengthly descriptions. For example: I could tell you used this page http://www.nesplayer.com/features/gameaxe/index.htm to write http://home.iprimus.com.au/ernecwf/gameaxe.htm. How would I know? First of all, you saved and used one of the images off there. Second of all, compare this one paragraph of the off-site to your site: Off-site: While the Game Axe supports NES games perfectly, a NES-to-Famicom adapter is required, and that's where the problems lie. First, the adapter and the cartridge together stick out about half a foot from the system. This is more of a cosmetic than a functionallity issue, however, since the balance of the system isn't thrown off. Game crashes and inference can occur, however, if the cart is jiggled too much; a problem for playing while moving around. A solid adapter should remedy this, but even then, NES games won't fit solidly into the system. Your-site: OK the best feature of the Game Axe Color is the ability to play NES games but only if you use a Famicom to NES converter. There is a problem with tsi though. The adapter and the cartridge together stick out about half a foot from the system. Here is a piture of a converter and a game inserted in the Game Axe Color This is more of a visual disdvantage than a functionallity issue, however, since the balance of the system isn't thrown off. Game crashes and interference can occur if the cart is moved too much during gameplay. A solid adapter should remedy this problem. There's nothing wrong with re-wording or using other people's words, just make sure you give them the credit they deserve. Best of luck to you on the site!

I totally agree with Groxx here. Ernster cleary stole/borrowed a piece of this article and called it his own. Why not come up with your own ideas? Can't you think for youself? Or are you too dumb to write an article with your own voice and opinions?

Posted by PowerPadMan You give us best of luck and hide a flame in the comparision? Whatever. And people complain that I seem bitter.

blah blah blah you act like you're 12

Posted by Mike What's your problem? I'm not sure you understand what a flame is. There's nothing hidden in the comparison, I'm just comparing the 2 articles as an example. I did not write the article, a friend of mine did, and I thought it was sort of unfair to do that. I wished you luck because I didn't want the post to sound entirely negative. I think the site has a lot of potential. Sorry if this site doesn't accept suggestions. Take it easy.

(paranoid Groxx)

Here's where the real fun starts!

Posted by Andrew On behalf of Nestimes and all the other respective Nes sites on the internet (except nesplayer), I hereby present Nesland with one of the most prestigious and honorable awards a website can possibly receive....of course I'm talking about: THE AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN PLAGIARISM!!!!!!! Ernster you are MORE than welcome to post this banner on your main page if you like. Or even better, at the end of the game axe article on your site! Whatever fits best I guess. Here's the link to the banner: http://nestimes.silius.net/awards/nesland/plagiarism.gif Once again thank you SO MUCH for creating such an innovatively original site that you can honestly call your own. Take care and best wishes in the future!

Hopefully you caught on to my blatantly obvious sarcasms! I couldn't resist the temptation of starting yet another "exciting" flame war.
