No one's angry, it's just that you keep toning things down when the boards have 4 simultaneous active thread, which hasn't happened in months, maybe even in a whole year.
I'm here since 08 too, and I've seen this place die, then get revived, then die again, then die even more, and so on.
We've seen the same things, but where you're skeptical I'm happy there's something productive going on and when the project dies (sooner or later) I won't be upset because I know it's bound to happen.
TL;DR : the board dies and fails very often, but it's not a reason to not appreciate them when it doesn't.
Keep the good stuff going until it stops.
I agree, actually. But you have to keep in mind that I am extremely butthurt:

At the time, I wasnt as knowledgeable about the internet, lol and I really tried my best to keep this place alive but I always got shot down in the end.
The way I took that is entirely my problem but it did sting somehow and I take general positivity towards such ideas as just another sting.
My skepticism comes from my own personal experience and, though I know better now, it felt bad as my ideas and enthousiasm ate dirt time after time.
I really want this all to work, I really do, but we'll first have to make a thread to discuss HOW we are going to do it. We really do.
I'm willing to look at this in a positive way as I can't deny the current activity is amazing and if you guys let me help I really want to, but we have to go about this differently:
A thread to get the ball rolling would be ideal, but we can also discuss how to get this done properly in the general thread about this topic that recently got stickied.
tl;dr: I'm still butthurt, but I really want to help if you guys still want me to
Also: I'm sorry; my butt hurting is my butt hurting and I shouldnt have been a *** about it (lol)
2Knee, nobody likes negativity. When people get excited about about something, and other people hate on it, it hurts their feelings. That's all.
But, wouldn't it nice if it DOES work? And wouldn't your knowledge on these MU's be handy to have? It's not work, it's typing stuff. Like we all have been doing yelling at each other about it.
Show some love, Falcons. I know you can do it!!
But it wasn't groundless criticism and it served the purpose of trying not to fall in the same pits we've fallen into before.
I agree I may have come across as a **** but what's sugar coated criticism?
