So, forum A dies, refugees from forum A descend on forum B. The A’s disregard all the rules of forum B and direct warnings from admins. They squat until a temporary version of their forum is created and they’re off.
That’s the tip of an iceberg that has frozen my desire to spend any more time in games communities among the ignorant and the unwashed. As such you won’t see anything from me on TGN and I’ve taken The Society offline and want nothing more to do with it.
If you’re a gamer then read this: Don’t be any more of a dick online than you honestly are in real life. Just don’t do it. You bring down other people, you’re not funny and you damage the reputation this culture has. It’s been taking a fair amount of battering recently and … oh for crying out loud, just grow up. Get some manners, some decency and some humility.
You simply cannot believe how pissed I am right now. And that’s pissed in a bad way, not a drunk way.
I still intend to update my blog (perhaps more frequently) and maybe focus more time on gaming rather than trying to educate those who want so much to remain ignorant.
To the handful of decent people out there in the games community – I respect you, please don’t let the chimpanzees take over the zoo.
Are you P1?
