To start off this post, look at the klan list. Look at all the klans on the first page with a lot of people, klans which have had not one active person in months. You will be hard pressed to find someone with a lot of posts, but that’s what the past was. There were a lot of people and they all got into this game; some left, and some stayed. I can’t help but feel strange when I look at those old threads, made by an entirely different community, people who are long gone, but made for many good funny threads.

Somewhere along the way, we lost sight of what this place was. Both the community and the mods/staff. Look at old CD threads for god’s sake! Before you never walked such a thin line. Non-rp was always a bad name to choose, because it was never really non-rp. People who to rp all the time and it was great and most threads were still p constructive/fun. The rule was more of a non-trolling thing, kind of like: you can rp, just don’t get too crazy and be an bumhole/flame for no reason.

What is this big attention on trolling? Why has the attitude of this community shifted so much emphasis on trolls? They exist as a clbum to parody real trolls, the people who are like: “haha you RESPONDED to that!?!?! TROLLED!!!1!!” We use to MAKE FUN OF THOSE PEOPLE. Most of the so called “trolls” here are humorless, and end up just creating unfunny fighting and everyone being all srs, on top of the other crap in rp. If it’s not funny, what’s the point? How mush entertainment is it to you to see all the kaiser spam and think, “haha he caused someone to ignore him, what a great poster!” Minimal effort reaps no return on the humor. It is probably too late to recover the type of community this place once was, especially with the direction we are heading to. And now we have to try to recover without one of the last people who was really interested in restarting rp, enough that he tried to start a new klan for it.

For the record, Hobart is one of my favorite posters, and I love the stuff he does in CD, I just wish rp threads weren’t so restrictive to actual humor.

Oh and was was right about the moon. It was beautiful. Log in to see images!
