Well, The Almighty Granola Bar still sort of insists that there was no purge, everyone left willingly
Which is technically correct, in most cases.
Is it? There's alot of banned names on there. I get why some of you got kicked out (no offense, tensions were just a little high), but AJ in particular puzzles me since I don't remember him ever even trying to provoke the mods and staying pretty lighthearted about the whole thing.
The other thing that makes me chuckle a little bit is that if you look at what people are browsing at any given time in the day, there's always at least two or three guests looking at one of the profiles of someone involved, or one of the many salt threads. Apparently it's more interesting than most of the other stuff over there.
Couple of things, first being that a lot of us were banned, at least half if I recall correctly. I left because I realized that they had the right to determine what they wanted and didn't want on their forum, and I found some of what they didn't want morally objectionable (as in, no exclusion for creative works from the censoring). I even fucking apologized to everyone there. I think AJ and myself just deleted our accounts, his reason I don't know but mine was it gave me less reason to post as I knew I wouldn't go and make a new account to continue arguing.
Two, for me at least, all I cared about was two things. The first being the rules changed over night without any warning, and second being the above thing I found morally objectionable which would be the censoring of creative works.
and with that I'm yet again going to drop out of this discussion/
Also welcome back Apathetic.
Yeah I deleted my account because I didn't want to go back anymore, never really felt the same after shit went down. It felt like someone scooped all the soul out of the forum and threw it out a window.
There's a new generation of forum goers now and that's fine by me, they can enjoy it and I hope they never get shovels of shit heaped upon them when they question sudden forum change. That was my only real problem was how it was handled, how we were told we were wrong, and then we got demonized for a few weeks. Now people only come here to see shit that no one really cares about anymore.
I mean I made a new account posted like twice and then gave up when I realized that the people I actually do like are already on my Steam, Skype, Discord, Forum, or literally anything else that doesn't deal with Cata.
