Did they actually read your message? The Derrit read mine but there was no reply. SmashCapps replied to Maaf but it was a vague reply. I can understand being too busy to reply but ignoring several people is kinda ridiculous. I don't even care if we start to annoy people with our article requests. We have just as much of a right to exposure as every other game out there.
I have mid-terms right now so I can't type a lengthy post about this yet...

It's the first thing a lot of other smashers look at when they visit Smashboards. I sometimes question what kind of players we'd actually attract if we had an article. I've roughly deduced it down to this:
1. Sm4sh players that act like morons and ask ridiculous questions in thread and post form
2. Players who come over here to say, "Wut? this game isn't dead like brawl? lololllololollo."
3. Purely nostalgists that reminisce and don't actually play anymore. Also die-hard gameplay theorists (e.g. tier arguments)
4. People who sincerely want to play and stick around. There's likely only a couple dozen or so people in this category.
The amount of players that would actually play 64 as a main event is pretty low, honestly. Instead, people would just sign up for 64 because there's a bracket for it at their local Melee/Sm4sh tourney. I'd prefer numbers
and passionate players...
