Title: Taking a break from the forum
Post by: Samwise on February 10, 2003, 02:31:56 AM
Due to lack of time and interest, I\'ve decided to take a break from the forum for an unknown amount of time. I\'ll probably still check in from time to time, but not as often as now.

I\'m sure some of you will be more interested in if/when someone will take over my mod-ship... but thanks to the rest of you. I\'ll still be on MSN and @ chr100@hotmail.com if you want to reach me.

So until next time,
take care

Samwise

I\'ve been thinking of just skipping on back out of here as quietly as I\'ve come back in also. Really, I don\'t do anything here, and seeing the forums like they are now compaired to how they used to be.. meh.. jus don\'t think it\'s worth it anymore.

We\'ll see..

In the meantime, we\'ll miss those sexah boobies of yours. Take it easy.

This makes for a great point. I am sorry to see Sammy leave since I have always liked his input here but as for those that leave because the forums have changed or for those that are not posting any new threads because the forums are not what they used to be give me a break! People change, and so do forums. Just because we can’t all be the way we used to be doesn’t mean that we are any worse or lesser than before. Do what you can to help improve the forums, don’t turn your backs on us here and run away. That only makes the situation worse. Besides, I have seen a real decline in needless Spam in the past two or three weeks.

Noooo!!!!! Don \'t leave us Sammy... this place is still one of the best forums I go to due to the humor of some members - and you being one of them.  I am sure you will be back - anyway, I will see you on MSN.  Take care and good luck! ;)

Samwise, I understand. I have had my own share of long breaks from the Central. I shall add you to my MSN -contact list in case you are interested in chatting with me sometime. May the Force be with you.

That would be a shame if you left for good, Sam.

I did feel like "the forums arent the same, waaaaah!" for about 8 months or so, but I never really said anything about it.  Now it seems to me they are better than they were then.  

I guess I need to be reminded to post more and start more threads to make this place better.  Let\'s all make an effort.

If you leave, I hope you\'ll check in regularly buddy!

And I have to say, even though the forums are in a bit of a drought right now, it will bounce back.  It always does this, and it always comes back.

Of course, every forum has one drought that is never bounces back from.  Trust me.

if this forum is "going downhill",  who is to blame?

i\'m kinda indifferent about the way it is.  many years will do this
Title: Taking a break from the forum
Post by: videoholic on February 10, 2003, 01:53:33 PM
One thing will always be true, you\'ll never make everyone happy.

You guys don\'t bitch at all about the forums when you spam away raping each other and throwing apples at everyone.

When we crack down you whine about the state of the forum and how it\'s gone downhill.  Blah blah blah.

Make some freaking threads to reply to and the forum will be fine.

Sorry to see you go, but as long as it\'s not a permanent haietus, then it\'s all good.

As for the complaining thing, you can\'t always improve a forum by posting what you want to see, etc.  Before the mods cracked down on the spam and bad messages, there was really nothing members like me could do BUT avoid the forum completely.  Posting a great post in the middle of a lot of crap where nobody will read it isn\'t worth it.  

Now that the forums have begun their improvement journey, I think we\'ll see more and more lurkers who were unhappy begin posting again.

I\'ve been disappearing for long periods of time ever since 2k+1. Its prolly cuz of these long absences that I can see the contrasts between the times. This place has definatley seen better times. Its prolly cuz the whole new generation hype has died down. That\'s where most of the discussion was back then. I guess everyone just got bored.

Come back soon Samwise. Even though I haven\'t been around as long as most of you old geezers, timers, farts ;)  oh you know what I mean, this is still one of the best forums out there. Every now and then I check out different forums and always come back home to this one. All things have their ups and downs. That\'s normal. So IMO this forum is one of the BEST.

This situation is quite typical. One respected oldie decides to take a break, announces it and the otherwise innocent thread turns into a debate about whether the forums meet the old standards. If we forget the past for a while, I think this community is an entertaining bunch of people with interesting opinions and subjects to share. The newbie-enthusiasm, the feel of freshness, is long-gone - but the enjoyability remains. Perhaps I am not too keen on poo- and piss-humour or threads without real purpose, but I think the Off-Topic -forum became more interesting due to the new moderator-policy. This is no haven for spamming anymore - and even as I blame nobody for that dirty era, I believe the bans, as warnings, were deserved and needed.

"Things aren\'t the way they used to be." One can so easily hide behind the previously mentioned sentence. Of course things aren\'t the way they used to be. If they were, we would probably be complaining about how things never change. Everything evolves. Forums see good and bad times - but there\'s always this average level of quality, and PSX2Central fares quite high on that scale IMO.

What is the point of this? To put down someone because he has great passion and from what I saw great skill for something? Please, tell us what you\'re obsessed with and we\'ll critic you and see how you like it.
