Quote:Just to make things clear: OB1 left on his own terms. Weltall for one didn't actually tell him to leave or ban him, he just asked him to start acting a little more mature about a rather stupid situation. OB1 is the one who decided to leave because things became too totalitarian for his liking (though to be honest I didn't see it that way).
Once he started going after Weltall and Lazy Weltall de-adminned him, which everyone knew would get him to leave, so that's not quite true... yes, it was OB1's fault because he's the one who started such a big argument over something so silly, but it's not like the response was blameless either!
Quote:I for one enjoy the various subjects that are still brought up here. I would like it if former common folk such as LL and Lord Shockwave would post here a lot more often. That would help things a bit.
Really, the problem is not enough regulars... we only have a very few people who post much at all. ... well really, either we need a much larger userbase, or more regulars; in many ways those are the same -- get more users, you will get more regulars. I do like the community here, definitely, but there just isn't enough posting, and I'm not sure if just getting a few more people will help that... none of the new members we've gotten in the past few years have really become regulars, after all (I don't think), so I'm somewhat doubtful that that'll suddenly change.
Quote:We like this forum because we've all been here for years and have grown used to it and the other people who post here. To an outsider we simply have nothing to offer, nothing to differentiate us from any other gaming forum on the internet, aside from that fact that we have less than 10 regular members. :/
Yes, that is definitely part of the problem...
