AMEN

I've recently noticed that the forums have changed a lot recently. The Town is inhabited by a completely different group of RPers, most of the Random Banterers have been replaced by newer folk, and even the Art forum is filled with new folk who think they have talent.

Are these people slowly killing the playground? Will AMEN have to find a new home? Will it live longer than the OotS and the playground? Will our founder Psyke_D rise from the grave of forgotten AMENites to lead us to a promised land? Will those new folk get bored and leave once the school year begins? Am I asking too many questions? Am I overreacting and making a big deal out of nothing?

Yup. The forum is dying. Hate to say it, but it's true.

Or maybe everyone will come back once school starts again, I dunno.

I will stay with the positivism and vote "no", yes i am a new guy, yes many people who are oldschool (I know who they are, even if I haven't been arround for long) are missing, but I think many will return in no time But not all changes are bad, The Town for exemple, the people there are getting better. Of course, there are still some problematic people, but the place is improving slowly, even the random slaugther is (almost) ending.

But I think I don't have much credit here. I don't hang arround random banter much, I tend to stay in SMBG and Homebrew.

All I know is that there's new blood coming(New souls to steal... Twisted Evil

), and that there are quite a few people around that are starting to make the playground a worse place to be in.

Doesn't mean its dying, though. Just means that the playground is moving on.

No, I don't believe the forum to be dying, I only see the Town as dying. No, wait, that's not right. It's dead, and those that are still seriously using it are stomping on it's corpse.

Just because the forum gets new members doesn't mean that the forum is going to end. Quit treating them as harbingers of doom.

Well, it's not so much that...as they tend to not pay attention to the systems we have in place before they post somewhere.

I don't think the playground will die, but it certainly is looking for a good defibrillator shot. I think it's just going through a phase, and that it won't stay that way for forever, but it will get worse for a while until it gets better. It's the learning curve of these new people...

Let's just hope they don't learn from D'anna or something like that!

Gitp will never die as long as the n00b hating members of AMEN stick around. And ther's SMBG and SG. So I'm postive.

As long as at least three people prowl GITP and are able to hold up a decent conversation, it isn't dead. At the moment, several thousand people are striking up several hundred conversations, so it's far from it's last legs. Even if it's weakening, it's still got the will to live.

Howdy doo.
