I'd have to agree with noob; though I don't post on these forums... I remember when this clan was something entirely different, something more like a large group of friends instead of a small cliquey forum. I originally joined in late 99 early 00 and I had some great times. However somewhere along the line the noose got tightened; people became defensive and the quality as a whole began to decline and stagnate.
I'm not a real favorite around the general forums, in part because I'm a fairly blunt person; but I don't go out of my way to be an asshole either. Regardless I felt like this new forum move was going to change the already deteriorating mentality of the old forums in which I decided to make one simple post to test this theology. I posted "I miss the old forums" and immediately got jumped on as if I were attacking these forums; I never said I didn't like these forums - just that I missed the old ones. People seemed to take it like everything else around here; in a negative way, and to my dismay, opened fire.
I hope everything works out for the best, but I do feel that it's hard to see this clan as a benchmark among the community anymore.
