The best thing we can do to honor those who leave is keep this place running, with good threads and a healthy community.

They will be missed but if they come back one day they will find out that this place is just as good and even better than when they left.

I am still hanging by a thread. I am no where active as I used to be. The charm is wearing off.

der nebel got banned. that made me sad. he always used to judge the shit out of everything that i said. he is probably still lurking.

Ha ha ha. To be honest I won't quit. Just I will be less active.

Kapi, Jaysus, and Smeags...

The only fault of this community is that it's too awesome and people have to quit it like an addiction.. speaking from experience. VGC gets you hooked and sometimes you have to stop it for the sake of having a life outside of the web.

Well, the forum rules are pretty damn hard to follow. You think you're within the rules and bam, you're fucked without notice. It's hard to keep members when the rules are so strict. Ideally, the perfect forum would be free and members would be allowed to have at it openly, within reason (no death threats, posting personal info, porn etc.) but it seems most people can't handle other people calling them names anymore lol.

i agree that the rules are very strict.

I know of people who got banned for having an argument via PM even though there was no rule stating that it wasn't allowed. The moderation team, or moderator was just like, nope... and created precedent. That's the kinds of things I'm talking about. Having rules is cool but they need to be followed to the letter of the law. If you give modertors the ability to bend them, or judge based on their own discretion, you're not only making it REALLY tough on members to know what they can and can not say/do, but you're making it really tough to ensure the moderation is legit and not being abused. 

I can handle myself on this forum, though it's hard at times. I love the place and it's the only forum I visit. But there's always room for improvement and I think creating a set of bullet point rules, and forcing the moderators to follow them to the "T" would be a better plan than what's allowed now. But that's just my opinion.

Always wondered what happened to all those prominent xbox fans that were here during the 360 era. Ps4 and xb1 came out and they disappeared, what a coincidence.
