This is irritating. I know it's not your fault Kiryu because you can't merge threads, but I'm tired of having duplicate threads for the same thing when it comes to "rumors" that become "news."

There should be some sort of way to move the thread, or have the other thread closed when annoucements are made.

Forgive me for asking, but is the whole point of a "Newsie" to start new threads that have already been made even though they themselves may have not found the news that they're posting about?

It doesn't make sense to me.

I tend to believe JDF about the emails. The explination does make sense.

A little update for you guys:

Exactly this. No wonder people complain about Super Megaforce clogging the forum, we have about forty threads for about ten bits of news.

Addressed this issue before. Technically can't merge threads in to the same post for front page without screwing up the forum. Site update later in the year (post SDCC) will fix that, I promise. Till then just gotta deal with it till then. Worth the wait, again, I promise. Till then just know we don't like it anymore than you guys.

Cant you just have a single thread for all the news? That way when users find the info first, as they have been for the most part, they can just post it in there without the newsie making a pointless dupe thread?

Well, I see the whole idea of having two separate forums, one for FrontPage news and one for News/Rumors, is because of the second part. Rumors. We've had issues before with people posting news and us front-paging it before only to have it be proven false. If we let every user post right away, we could end up with a front page of propaganda. Pretty much like when we all worked on papers in college, we have to double check, triple check, and quadruple check sources before submitting the paper to make sure our point is valid. The only real reason why certain Newsies make duplicate threads instead of just moving a thread is cause the site isn't up to date where they can/only Moderators can move it. Like Kickback said, hopefully later in the year, the issue will be resolved.

Fair enough!

I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for the update.

Had you put it in the News Section, I might have heard about it :P

Kidding, of course!

He's the best Ranger of All time & all ways will be. I hope he's in all or must of Super Megaforce. I'll be ok with just one or 2 ep's. Heres hopping for Tommy in Super Megaforce.

No he's not. Tommy was often late to combat, forgetful, always losing either his communicator or his morpher (or both), getting brainwashed (on multiple occasions), losing his powers, or stuck in amber.

For all intents and purposes, Tommy was a terrible Ranger.

Jason is terrbie ranger
jason is one make tommy lose powers in green candle ep

To be fair, most Rangers only last 30-40 episodes. Tommy was in over 200.

that why zordon pick tommy as new leader of pr team in white light

Zordon was actually a dick. He kidnapped 5 teenagers barely able to drive and put them in a direct line of danger and gave them a weapon strong enough to destroy giant alien monsters. Then he constantly kept information from them (like a 6th power coin and numerous "more powerful villains exist" info) until it was way too late. To top it off, once they graduated high school, he peaced out leaving them with the twin sister of their new enemy who spoke in riddles. Then he dies and forgets to tell anyone that two of their main villains had an evil child that would come back 11 years later as an adult and nearly destroy them all.

Worst mentor ever.

Zordon could've gone to the police, the government, the military…y'know recruit people that could actually handle themselves in fight? But nope, has to be teenagers. I've awlays been under the believe that Zordon must be a pedophile.:lol

But then again it's not like Gosei is fairing any better. I mean he's intentionally holding back vital information and key components from the Rangers until the situation becomes convenient for them to need them. :lol

alien rangers saga is worst
lord zedd created monster out of the spider

Gosei has spoken to the Rangers like twice since the first episode? That and he's holding back power cards until they're in mortal danger. Can't wait for him to remember the Gokai Morpher and how he's been holding back on that little surprise.

Yeah, Gosei is by far a worser mentor then Zordan ever was:lol

Right, but that doesn't make me any less correct.

Well, it does, mathematically speaking.

What math? With percentages, even with Tommy being a Ranger for longer and across various seasons, the percentage of "how much Tommy was a bumbling idiot" (I don't think that lowly of him at all, just throwing that classification out there) will remain the same.

It's a "per capita" example.

Regardless, I'm just tired of people stating that "Tommy is teh bestz0rs n alwayz will be!" when that's purely opinion based. People can think he's great, but keep it as an opinion.

But Tommy is teh bestz0rs n alwayz will be!

Falcon Pawnch.

Wish I didn't have to sit through a ~34 min. video to learn the relevant info here...
Can we get some "talks about his involvement" or what he says about the mass email quotes? Accessibility...

I've given the time when he starts talking about it.

It's 3:00, and the subject about the e-mail comes up at 12:00.

Who cares if it's an opinion? To a lot of people he is the greatest, he was the freaking green then white ranger in MMPR! After Zeo started I didn't even bother with Power Rangers again until he came back for Dino Thunder or whatever, then I stopped and since then I've just been casually watching Super Sentai instead of Power Rangers.

Even so, I'm not going to one day decide to sift through every episode between Zeo and Dino Thunder just to figure out who was statistically better.

To me Tommy is the best ranger, Jason maybe would be second. A lot of people feel the same way so I can't blame them for stating that Tommy is the best ranger. Even if someone says it as if it's the truth I think it's a given that it's just an opinion, whomever is best is subject to the fans' personal tastes. Any time someone says someone is the best ranger that is opinion. It should not matter if they are stating it as fact because it is true to them, may not be true to someone else, but doesn't matter because anyone who hears/reads that already knows it is an opinion.

And I gave valid reasons why he's not. The irony here is, Tommy's the best ranger, but you won't (or haven't) watched all the seasons he's been in.

Also, I never suggested to "sift through" every episode to find out if he's "the best." I again gave reasons why he's not "the best" without having to "sift through" anything at all.

I'm sorry I haven't jumped on the Tommy Bandwagon. I'm also sorry that everyone loves Tommy. I love Tommy too. In fact, why are we having this discussion? I love Tommy so much, there's no need to have a discussion about it, because "who cares!"

In fact, let's all agree on the same thing, and that way we can just not have a discussion board.

You discuss personal tastes, but yet when someone has a different opinion and states why, it's not okay?

Fact is, there is no "best Ranger." Rangers are chosen for their merits, strengths and weaknesses. Tommy had many weaknesses. But his strengths overcame that.

Am I going to argue that Tommy isn't the "face" of Power Rangers? No. Am I going to deny that Tommy wasn't a very powerful Ranger? No way. That'd be insane. The man had a great Ranger career. But is he the "best Ranger?" No, he's not, and I already gave reasons why.

And changing Ranger colors doesn't make you the best Ranger either, which by your argument that's what he did so that makes him great? Can you clarify on that?

I'm mainly getting at you telling people to keep something an opinion. Why should they? This is a forum for fans to discuss tokusatsu. There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone stating that Tommy or whomever is the best ranger, as if it's the universal truth. It's true for them, noone should be told to keep what they say as an opinion. Fans can express whatever they want(as long as it doesn't break the rules here), and there is no rule saying that they can't express their opinion that their favorite power ranger is the best ranger ever.

You already gave reasons of why he isn't the best ranger as if you are stating that him not being the best ranger is true. You are doing the exact same thing that you evidently don't want other people to do, to not keep what they say as an opinion. My point is, why tell them to keep what they say as an opinion, why when you are expressing what you think to be true, when you are doing what they are doing, expressing your opinion as fact.

I'm didn't even read all of your reasons as to why Tommy might not be the best ranger and to me, he still is the best ranger. Why? It's because he's my favorite ranger. One ranger could cure world hunger and Tommy would still be my favorite Power Ranger.

But the things I posted, were fact. Those things that are negative and didn't really happen to other Rangers and only happened to Tommy, happened. It's not an opinion if it happened.

I get what you're saying, I really do. And it's okay to have a favorite Ranger, but it doesn't make him the best.

What if I said Kelsey was my favorite Ranger? Does that make her the best?

My point is, favorite doesn't equate to best. That's it. Nothing more.

Trey was the best Ranger. He was THREE people and was voiced by someone else entirely.

Beat that.

Agreed. I'm stuck on dial up still. (Not by choice. There are still some places in the U.S. that don't have have High Speed access and I happen to be unlucky enough to live in one of them.) so watching a whole youtube video from the comfort of my home isn't an option. A recap of important info would be a lot more helpful to me then a link to video I can't watch.

Thank you guys for the feedback and we apologize for the inconvenience. Next time something like this comes up, we'll make sure to cut straight to the chase :)

(...dial-up? I'm so sorry...!!)

Why are people arguing about something as menial as who is the best ranger? Tommy is my favorite ranger, and to me the best. Not because of what he did in the ranger world but because of what he represents to me. If another person thinks that Zack, Sky, or Wes are the best rangers thats their opinion. I'm not going to attack them for that. Everyone has opinions and contrary to popular belief apparently, it does make them the best...to that person. Thats why there are polls to find out who is the best ranger. Its a vote...you know...of opinions...

So yeah. Go Tommy...haha

No one is attacking anyone here.

This is a discussion board, right? We were discussing the strengths and weaknesses of Rangers.

A favorite doesn't mean the best. I've already pointed out why that is.

Also, can we please get some clarification here? What does he represent to you? You touched on it, but you didn't go into detail. What does he represent to you exactly?

RoboKnight is a robot who who never tires, eats, or sleeps. he can fight evil until he is dismantled. therefore he is the best ranger.

But gets trapped in barred cages pretty easily :lol

and when trey was seperated one of his bodies couldn't even morph

I understand, but it started to come off like an argument. You have my apologies if that is not the case.

You can't pick the best ranger...thats what I am saying. The concept of best is something that everyone agrees on. You wont get everyone to agree on the samething, especially in a fandom such as this. The only thing you can do is majority rules and thats pretty much a popularity contest.

Why is Tommy the best to me? Well...when I was younger, my parents got divorced and without going into to much detail, neither of my parents were role models for me. So I went looking for one. I found the Power Rangers, and more to the point, Tommy. I began to shape my morals off of his character and I am the person you see here (or read here lol) today because of the tutelage that these beloved characters brought to me without even realizing it. So yeah, thats why he is the best to me. Also I just loved how he was able to overcome all of the crap thrown his way throughout his career.

That is what I believe personifies the ideas behind being chosen to be a ranger, just like being a green lantern means you can overcome great fear. I might be looking through nostalgic glasses but thats okay. He was who I grew up and other characters will be the same to someone else.

This is just my reasoning for my choice of him being the best ranger to me. Hope this helps.
