Badspot is a lazy bastard, even if "He doesn't care about the forums and we're on borrowed time" he should do something about these rule loophole cunts and asspies loving up the forums and being literal cancer, and i don't mean "ban them and let them buy another alt instantly and continue to stuff up the forums until they get banned 6-12 months later and let the cycle continue indefinitely", maybe if he dealt with the cancerous users he'd get some actual decent people to join that would make things better, I bet its not even the lack of updates but instead the complete loving toxic community that drives people away.
BTW, Badspot isn't going to give you moderator, keep dreaming.
