New Forum Suggestion: The STEAM VENT

DukeNukem

I think we need a new forum called "The STEAM VENT" where one can blow off steam about STEAM when it is screwing up (which is all too often).

This would not be a complaint department about the Ville or it servers or patrons, but to #Cussing out

about STEAM.

Like last night when I couldn't start STEAM at all. After the update last night it would start and put an item on the taskbar and then stop responding. I wanted to play last night but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I tried deleting (well renaming) ClientRegistry.blob etc, but to no avail. Well they must have fixed it because it is working this morning, but I was about to go ballistic. Hehehehehehehehehehehe

Ok I do admit it would be nice for alot of people to Vent about Steam somewhere other than the Steam forums.

But if you are going to post a problem, post it in a reasonable tone, none of that, "OMFG WTF IS WITH STEAM IT'S SO G*Y, IT KEEPS GIVING ME THIS". Just post all that Steam hate stuff after the question so we can understand what you're saying so we can help you faster and better.

If you are going to have something like that at least make it some what understandable, unlike the Steam forums where you have to sit there for hours sifting through rant posts just to find the answer to your problem

Why here and why not on steams support page where they as far as giving support goes is next to none. Bastages forgot where they came from and who put their egotistical butts there to begin with us <The TF Community>

Welcome to the wonderful world of Forced Beta Testing.. Who will be patting theirselves on their backs after all is said and done with Valve will that is who!

Agreed the Steam forums are almost a complete waste of time. But I and another are working on ideas to make them better, hopefully they'll be put into affect and we can go there for ALL our Steam needs.

Also you can get very useful information off those forums guys, you just have to do a little looking, you can't just expect it to pop out right in front of you, unless it's a sticky

Or one of my bullets BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA -breathe- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

-clears throat- Okay, I'm done.

Bah why do people whine? Its only a game geeze. Potato has never had any problem with steam (other than dling the install/setup files - took a while but it was worth it).

Negative Creep:

I am not wanting a place to deal with problems, there are the Steam forums for that (although of questionable helpfulness) I just want a place where I (we) can yell real LOUD -- "STEAM SUCKS" and everybody can give a group hug and say "yeah STEAM SUCKS" we feel for ya dude. << insert tongue in cheek emoticon here >>

This whole suggestion was "tongue in cheek". I just get tired of it screwing up. I have never been able to make it through 3 map cycles before it screws up. I either get booted and crash (I mean completely - hard reboot) or I get the "HL has performed an illegal operation . . . " and then have to shut down and reboot or HL will continue to give me that error. #Cussing out

VALVE!

No, for the same reason we don't have a "cesspool".

BTW I havn't had any errors with steam since installing it.

Am i the only one on here that actually likes steam and thinks it was a great improvement and has never once had a single problem. I mean geez fellas complaining will get you no where plus its not that bad of a program and makes running TFC, CS, NS, and DOD a hell of a lot easier. I like all the improvements and nifty things about it that i didn't get on the old stuff all in all i 100% endorse steam.

Steam is great. The people who manage it are another story.

I had very few problems, but that's off topic.

You can make your own forum, but I don't think many people want to read a bunch of ranting about Steam. I know I wouldn't.
