Just a Topic of Appreciation
« on: June 17, 2012, 04:05:29 am »
Hey.  I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this site.  You guys have done a staggering amount of research, and have tackled some tough questions about the series.  This is always the place I go to and reference when I answer questions elsewhere, like on GameFAQs.  Thanks for everything, and keep up the good work!

Amen. The Compendium is truly special -- few franchises enjoy such thorough research, organization and resource gathering within the fan community. I was just reflecting on this while entertaining my interest in the Ogre series. I'm like, where's the one-stop shop? Where's the freaking Ogre Compendium when you need one? Sometimes I'm just confounded that fans of other franchises see fit to get by on generalized Wikias and scattered message boards. That, more than anything, is what's always kept me coming back to Chrono over the years.

The truly amazing thing is that this just organically happened without any oversight from the developer/franchise owner; if it weren't for the founding members here, Chrono wouldn't have had quite as much longevity. That's what I believe anyway. Creatively seeding things like the Chrono Compendium c(sh)ould probably be the biggest tool in a franchise owner's marketing toolbox, and that's what makes the Compendium not only a cool community, but a watershed in videogame history. Naturally one can't discount the fundamental strengths of the series, but there's an incredible, spontaneous human element at work here too.

Yadda yadda yadda.

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone.  The truth is, though, I've been a member of and posted on this site for a few years now.  :-)  But very rarely, so the unfamiliarity is to be expected.

In fact, two of the things I posted over those years were placed on the site - one a strategy for the DS Arena of the Ages, and one a little bit of analysis on a Chrono Cross inconsistency, found here:

and at the bottom of this page:

Still, thanks for the welcomes.  ;-)

Ah, makes sense.  I never really went into my profile settings I guess, so I never thought of that.  Problem solved now, heh.
