I wonder what the big deal is here... this is a game site, not freaking world domination. What is there to be political about? Is there nothing more worthwhile to do with your time? Give it a rest.

Of course! Everytime we have something going on, someone reminds that this is a game site!

But this is forum. We dont just talk about games, we talk about our lives, our passions, our dreams and hopes........

Just look at this!! This type of arguing and conspirating make's people want to leave!! You goddam shmucks!!

Kosta, there is a problem. I dont know what it is but please find it out and fix it!

Cheez.. <_<

I was merely illustrating the contrast between the community here, and something such as the UN. What is the big deal that a the angst of a few individuals has to turn into a question of board-wide "politics"? Anyone who sees this site as a political platform, or believes that organized rebellions against the administration are necessary obviously has too much time on their hands.

There are rules, and the members choose to follow the rules or not, and if not, they risk the consequences of being punished in some way by the admins. I don't think that's such a big problem... it's not like an admin here is going to bomb your city or toss you underneath a prison for the next 50 years for misbehaving on the forum. The worst that's going to happen is that someone will get banned. Boo-hoo, they have to find another community to break the rules in. It's just not that big a deal. If it is that big a deal, then perhaps someone needs to get some perspective. Suck it up, take your medicine, and try harder. It really isn't that difficult to be courteous, nice, and avoid punishment by admins.

Edit: pressed the quote button on the wrong post.

Our dear Dissident brothers and sisters really are an angry little bunch of people.

We get it - you don't like the way things are being done, you're already Dissidents. But, just like The Fifth Horseman has already said - If you really don't like it that much, just leave.

And you will jump in to help preparing and uploading games :bleh:
Main part of Abandonia is still HERE !

What _I_ see here is a lot of people pointing fingers at other people and shouting.

But this is just _my_ opinion.

I try to translate a German saying here:
"First sweep in front of your own doorway"
