It was all their way or the highway like you 3-5 people want it to be. Compromise is good. Dictatorship is what you are suggesting. You do not like big threads, fun spam threads, only want gaming threads, etc. Maybe I have missed the forum that successfully does that, but I have not seen one yet. If anyone says Gaf I will laugh my God damned Head off! The industry has changed, gamers have changed, this site has changed, the internet has changed, every thing changes. Users are not as hard as they once were when moderation was harder on people back in the day. You will get rid of alot of great members with petty bans just to make a point, as ioi goes bankrupt. Is there a reason why only, maybe 30 out of the 2,000 members on here a day have post in this thread? They do not care. Only you old timers do. Last six months of 2011 and first two months of 2012 were miserable here. Everyone getting in petty fights over everything, and it was usually started by the old timers. Now the site is busy again, threads have prospered, and not only spam threads. You all are blind. Fair and equal ioi. Your old members are not going to just come back. Your new members are who you want to keep happy now. There will be complaining no matter what. Remember how you said there will be a site change and everyone said yah!!! Back to how it was, then you said what the changes would be and there were more complaining. It will not end. Not even if the makers of this thread got their way. When their latest thread failed they would go back to gaf. It feels good to have 500 posts in your thread, so why wouldn't they? They say they are your loyal members, until things get too tough. Just do not forget us who did not leave when everyone else has. The ones who sat through policy change after policy change, after warnings and bans and kept coming back for more. That is what I think about the matter. If people do not like a thread then stay the hell out of it!!! I do not think I have post in one Microsoft thread other than a few that my friends here have made....ever! Just stay out of them. If one of your piss poor ideas for a thread do not get popular then blame it on yourself. Chalk it up as a loss and move on to the next one. RolStoppable seems to have no problem pushing out hit threads once a month. What are you excuses? Blame game. Lastly, Machina was my favorite mod, I loved arguing with Seece, and Monty brough class to this site, but everyone must admit that they were really strict and it hindered any growth at all. I remember for about three months at the end of last year that it was next to impossible to get a 100 post thread out by anyone. ANYONE! Now, unless you are blind, that happens in a day. Strictness can be good as well as being lax. But there has got to be moderation with everything. Too strict and it gets rediculous! The same goes with easy going sites. The Soriku rule of 5-10 words should be enforced in threads that it can be. Even I have gotten annoyed at some spam trees and spamming. You cannot get any posts in edge wise. But only a little.
