I thought this was another "Bloackland iss dieiiing!!!1!" thread or whatever that was a few months ago.
These threads pop up all the time every couple months or so. Always made by idiots
like this. Consistent with his posting history, jirue is acting like an idiot.
People always get some idealistic nostalgia trip about what the forums/game "used" to be like and make these stuff posts. They also feel as if they're the first people to recognize this problem and stuff out the topic so they can satisfy their internet ego ("Ya, I was the
first person to say this"). The ratio of dumb forgets to respected members and modders is probably the same as it has always been; of course the attention draw of both groups is not proportional so the increase in idiots greatly increases how often they are noticed over the respected members (I'd make a graph if I had Excel right now).
What I'm trying to say that jirue, snip3r, and anyone else who agrees with them are loving idiots. Ignore their doomsday rambling.
