It also functioned as an echo chamber, where the whiners sounded off each other and drowned out any productive posts. This meant that if a newcome who was ensure if he wanted to pick up the game or not made the mistake of reading the boards he'd get this completely skewed impression of the game.
The boards basically became absolutely hostile to anyone who did not express a complete reverence to Brad and to to the very old outdated FAQ. |
Okay, but how is Silky Venom any different then what the offical forums would look like ? Why push your "dirty laundry" off on someone else (fansite) in the name of community building ?
Those same people you refer to as "spec ed" are now posting on SV's site, and if Sigil had their own forums, they would be posting there. The signal to noise ratio over there seems about normal, so I will say "bzzz, wrong answer".
Is it the money ? The hastle ? The wounded pride from EQ1 forums ? Fear ? Unable to take responsibility for that which you have birthed ?
Surely someone has the inside poop on this, and I am not talking the "official response inside poop", I am talking the "the real reason" type poop.
And that, is a loot of poop.
