Okay, yes, the great crusader up on her soap box again. Bear with me here.
Here we go.
Okay, this fighting has got to END. Don't you people realize that you're making other great RPers leave? Don't you realize that fighting endlessly over a problem and doing nothing about it is accomplishing nothing?
Nothing is going to improve on this site if no one is willing to help, and it's definitely not going to go anywhere if everyone up and leaves. I have no problem if you leave respectfully, but I have seen other people be very snotty in their reasoning and I have no respect for that AT ALL.
We do NOT want this site to go down the elitist trail, because I've seen that happen. The site is great fun for everyone, and then some of the better RPers start complaining about newbies, and it breaks out into fighting, and then either the owners decide to be elitist too, the site dies, or IT BOUNCES BACK.
RPGs are not permanent unless the people involved are willing to try and work out the problems, and thus far, I haven't seen much of that from many people. Why don't we discuss more ideas on how to fix things? Decide how we're going to go about doing some of the things we always insist we are? It's not too late to bring this site back, and it's a shame that many have decided to simply give up.
Oh, just one more thing to tack onto the end of this:
The rules of the site are decided by the owner, and by joining the site you agree to them. If you don't like them, just quit. Don't complain about them because you, for some reason, disagree.
Thank you.
*gets off of soap box, sits down, and shuts up*
