What Has Happened To Our Beautiful Forum?!

<div class="IPBDescription">Lets remember the olden days....</div> While I may not have been here for the release of 1.0, or anything like that, I WAS here for the release of 2.0 It was great at first-everyone's respectful, no one was cheating, everybody was just screwing around, having fun.

Then, it began.

They came. In droves.

Keyboards and mice in hand, list of antonym curses like "WTH, SUYF" and many more.

They toar it all apart. They cried after every death -"WTH you f***ing cheater, man, this game sucks, CS is the best game ever, I don't even like this yet and I just started playing!".

They armed themselves after that point. We could barely hold them before. Now- it really began. They found the appropriate sites, and started using them against us. Suddenly, these people who just started playing were getting perfect kills, instant hits, would know we were above them 30 seconds into the game, and could go from sat comm to waste in 10 seconds. All hell broke loose, and not only that, but it helped burn us down.

Last to be beaten into oblivian is still fighting the good fight, but not winning or losing- the forums. Our strongest defense, and our most intelligent of members reside here. They infiltrated our ranks, and began to slowly take down our morals, forcing many of us to succumb and start screaming "WTH, SUYF m4n, g37 da f*** 0ff m3!". It was hard to take, but we stood. But we have one last chance.

We must push them back from this position, the forums must wear them down. If we can do that, we can slowly take our world back, and peace will reign again, and all of us will be hailed as heros.

Sorry there, was just putting what I felt the situation of the NS community is in story form, and posted it. What do you guys think of my writing ability, and the subject itself? Should we start enforcing some martial law? Should we just ban them from the forums? Should we make rules about posting that consists of no multiposting(unless mistake by the "mail error", and without use of search before posting?

And no I didnt' search before this. I was mainly just wanting to tell a story, and well, here it is <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I just suddenly realized I have no idea what you said. Um yea I feel all nostalgic for the days, or rather nights, at 2 in the morning where we would spam the create a story thread or whatever that was called.

    Meh. Just wait it out, that's my opinion. Eventually anyone who doesn't like the game will leave, and we'll have a mostly irritant free community. Might be smaller, but oh well.

    "dude... who's commander?"
    "we don't have one, idiot."
    "alright... who should command?"
    "who knows how?"
    "i don't."
    "i don't."
    "um.."

    As for keeping our forums, I shall fight hate with love. I shall stick flowers in the barrels of their lmgs and pour nectar into their shotguns. I shall cover the land with fluffybunnies and marshmellows. I shall brim and froth with joy and never be spiteful and filled with anger and bad karma and negative emotions again. Praise the Lord, for I am saved!
    Well, at least I'm gonna fight unfriendlyness with niceness. And I feel like writing another NS song, this time using "I Get Knocked Down" as a template. Restrain me!!

    I will fight on, using my superior intellect, and god given ability to aim. All else fails, I will summon my hordes of TSA Headcrabs to kill the scourge. Atop their Hovaring Scorpian mounts, with the lance of Idiocy and Sheild of OGC +3, We may lose fights, many of us may be slain. but we fight the just cause, we WILL prevail!

    /me charges headlong into the hordes

    My solution? I cut my own access to everything but tech, Dev, and O/T. And I made a new IRC channel and stopped going to #naturalselection mostly. I also delete emails that don't come from someone a news site or a dev team member. I also basically quit most of my NS duties and have relegated myself to only working on incidental coding.

    Otherwise it's business as usual...
