times changing.

[shadowprophet]

have times really changed that much in the last few years, it seems like we have a lot more people reading posts, but a lot less people actually posting,

And lord help us all on how interesting a post has to be these days to actually get a responce from someone,

It's seems like people are just less sociable then they once where,

to be honest, i dont have it in me anymore to run a one man circus just to get shock responces from people.

Maybe im wrong. maybe times havent changed that much,
But you know, maybe people have became so engrosed in the world around them with all the problems and the war, the economy, that it really does take a specail kind of post to even merit attention,

sigh,

Unfortanately, shades, times have changed.
The users that kept Off-Topic going have long gone, my friend.
They guys here now are cool and all, but the size of the posting group seems to have dwindled.

But in all seriousness, I think that people just move on from forums eventually... Either that or they grow to dislike one forum and move to another for reasons x, y, and z.

EDIT: Scratch that. Some stay with forums for years on end, but those are usually more mature members that don't fly off the handle about stupid things.

An almost perfect summary.

I guess thats the nature of all things where users move on but there are still many good people here and as long as there here. i'll be here to post

[shadowprophet]

If i could speak freely and some what bluntly for a moment,
without offending the staff,

I would say, I know how opposed to junk forums you are.
But I would go on to say, those forums where a colaborative effort created by darksaviour and myself. and you had no right to take them anyway.

But thats not the issue, thats never been an issue,
I'm behind dcemu 100% i always have been, and always will be,

My main grip would be that for reasons unknown to myself, most of staff is so opposed to the junk forums they arent eve open to the idea of them, even though i've offerend to run them myself.


I honestly don't care about the job or if i get it or anything to that nature,

What I do care about is long time members, brothers leaving dcemu, simple because they are bored to complete tears.

An outlet is important, fun is important, and some people seem to have forgotten those things.
Some people thrive off creativity, and feel confined when they dont have an outlet.
The junk forums where an expressive creative outlet and without that outlet, Dcemu has lost some magic in those peoples eyes.

I would petition to bring Junk back, it's needed now more then ever. off topic is slowly dieing,
most staffers know off topic is my home, I rarely post outside of it, you are letting my home slowly die and its not fair.
Again, That is what I would say, if i could speak freely and bluntly without offending staff.

So I guess i'll just say nothing.

But there is another side to this whole deck of cards, dcemu is a huge ship. it needs everyone on board working together to run efficently, and if the majority of staff does dissagree about junk. well thats called due process.
and it's a fair and just process.

So, I guess it's a plea to bring back junk more then anything,

And Btw, brother gunn!!! where the hell have you been! it's been, I dont even know how long it's been man! how are ya!!!

[shadowprophet]

santa can't bring us everything we want for christmas.
but hell having junk back would make me forget what a fat bastard santa is anyway.

so uh if anything,,it would mean a lot if my petition was at least considered.

Noooo im fading away!
