Well if the old generation is steeping down then that means a new one is coming. I was absent for a month sinmce my old computer refuesed to hook up to our adsl in the end we got a new system.

Business as usual...

You people are a pity.
Especially you, Eagle. Come on, who are you kidding? Seb says himself there was problems with certain mods, and you mean to tell us there is nothing going on?

People, calm down. We should not fight because others left due to personal problems with the admins or mods. Do not forget that this is some kind of a program running on a server for which Kosta Krauth is paying and that, by posting here, we are just editing some files on that server.

Also, do not compare this forum to the real life, since you can not know what is real and what is not. For example, I might be a employee of ESA who has registered here to check on you, or a simple old women who likes old games, or a child (as I say I am) who loves old games and who likes to speak to others. The same can be told about other people on the forum. We all know FreeFreddy. Maybe you are FreeFreddy, maybe I am FreeFreddy. No one knows.

P.S. I chosed FreeFreddy because that's the only thing which came to my mind, not because I would have something against him.

Oh, and welcome to AB's forums, Juni Ori. I hope that your stay here will be enjoyable, altough you came here just when everyone was having fights with admins and old members were leaving. :(

That's very true.

And furthermore there's no need to leave just because of a few probs.
If the two parties can't work it out, just have a night of sleep or two and everything will look completely different.

On the other hand - how can there be that serious(-taken) problems in a free-time community...? :huh:

Some people just have better things to do than talk to people they barely know just because they are saying stupid things. Some times it's just better to leave. Some times you cannot afford to deal with this, because you have better things to do.

Sebastianos has left of his own accord. He was not forced to leave. He was forced to follow the rules of this site and enforce them as moderator. He was asked to stop debating every little thing that went on on this site and remember he was not the one who made this community run. I believe this is what caused his decision to leave.
I understand why Kon Tiki left to a degree. He was unhappy about an incident on AR and that spilled over to here. Why that had to spill over, however, I do not know. There was obviously a lot of bad blood between the members involved.

I have always been impressed at the way Kon Tiki behaved as a moderator and I am sad he has chosen to leave.
I am not sad Sebastianos left as moderator. I am sad he left as updater and as part of this community.
Are the recent egresses of regular members connected? At some level yes but not directly. This site is professionalising and that means changes to the way we operate. This has caused friction between a few people and what we see here is a result of that. The more immediate reasons for all of this are separate and unique to each case.

Abandonia will continue on just fine without these members. We have a large staff of people behind all the activities of abandonia.

On behalf of the admins I wish everyone a splendid time on Abandonia

This just happens. Sometimes people leave because they really can't get over something, at other times they just gradually lose interest until a very small thing makes them lose it completely.

Heck, a year ago I was an active member on no less then 8 forums.
Now Abandonia is the last one, and I can't even tell how long I'll stick around.

TheChosen will be stunned if he sees this in two months! :omg:

i doubt this thread will still be floating in 2 months. t.c will just notice the lack of members i guess.


after the niles explanation it makes a little more sense. espicially after checking some of the threads in the forum suggestions section. ahh well.
cheer niles. i guess this is what i have always liked about this place. that when there is a disturbence you admin guys will discuss it with us.
its a shame that this has happened though over some differences in opinion on site *policy* or whatever

i wonder what kosta thinks of all this?
