Rabid, Trapt...
I don't know what to say.
I too have noticed the continual degradation of the site's status during my stay here. The constant pathetic insults, the stupid questions, the inane comments. It's gone too far.
Andy, I'm suprised you've tolerated it for so long. No matter what some insignificant whelp might say about your leadership qualities, you still stand as an excellent and mature leader to a lot of people here. RabidMonkey and Trapt, you have every right to be pissed off because of the constant help and support you devote to the forums.
So what am I to do? Frankly, I've no idea. I'm disappointed that Rabid and Trapt are indeed leaving as I've enjoyed their company (as well as that debanoir Hugh) on IRC.
When I joined TWHL all those days ago, the atmosphere was...wonderful. I suppose a good thing can't last forever right? Atom's test project in PHP as evolved into a large mapping community. However, I think his tireless efforts are being exploited and misused in a way that I've never seen before. Our regulars are getting tired with answering the same questions over and over again, which I've noticed. I've also noticed the lack of interest in commenting on maps.
This brings me back to the initial issue: the large amount of crap that seems to have infested TWHL. A lot of things have been done to try and tone it down a little, but nothing's worked. In fact, it seems to have intensified. I'm sure that many more will agree with me here: I simply cannot take it anymore. Some of you people act like children who've nothing better to do than take the piss out of someone else. And no, I'm not only refering to the PaLO VS Annonymous war here. What once was a fantastic international community is now a ruined mixture of genuine members and ignorant little fucktards.
When the issue of people leaving came up last time, I was one of the ones who barracked for members to stay. Now I'm just not sure at all. When HL2 is released, my presence will probably, just like Rabid's, be devoted to HL2 mapping sites as I launch into my major project for Extension English 2. I will miss Rabid and Trapt if they do decide to totally abandon TWHL.
I just don't know what to do.
Another Goodbye?
Anthony
