Something doesn't add up...It should be 94 percent because i love the game too ( * Oooow, Jezus , do you do this on purpose ,Moron? Percent isn't a single person, fool...Do you see now what i have to deal with , he's too stupid to help the thunder roar over Cologne...).
But about the Forum: i miss the Pillars of Our Community , the Ones who came first and created an atmosphere that is slowly but certainly dissapearing...The involvement of Rare , which was very present in the beginning , has dwindled away to very neutral dataspreading but seemed to be forbidden to have a connection with any Forummember...
Old dissapeared Pillars have been replaced by new members with their Talents and quirks, wich is great . But the Personalities that defined this Forum aren't replaced as rapid as they dissapear...Therefor this Forum is losing it's " Soul and Spirit" ,slowly…
Oh, i don't throw a rock to anybody and look to myself with shame that i slowly let the Forum slip away. i can not turn a tide , i never had nor never will have any talent to do that , but i still believe if there would be more connection from Rare with the Forum , that new Members would contribute , without fear of verbal slaughter , by opening their Heart and let that shout how wonderful this game and the adventures at the Sea are...
You disagree? You may disagree with me but ...answer me this : In the past their was a Title called Boatswain for positive ,Friendly and Helpful Forummembers . Today ,i still see people that are worthy of that title but they will never get it because the Boatswain nominations stopped as quickly as they rose , a year ago…The same can be said about Deckhands ...Once they were with thirtheen, today with seven and not all of them are active on this very Forum...If Deckhands who have a stubborn trait would write like they did with thirtheen , they would burn up like an Icarus...That would be unhealthy and now you see the result : Deckhands are tired, can't write 24/7 as they have a right to have to maintain their real lives too and they take a lesser and more healthy forumrythm...No offence ,nor blames , but there is no intent from Rare to repair the Forum as it was in the beginning...There is only a Police Force that slaps you on the fingers if one is using bad mod edited words...But this is not how you revive or reinstal a Spirit that could heal others on this Forum...
i have loved the Old Forum and still follow the Forum of nowadays but i can't write nor read as much as before because i do get fed up from the inner shadowry bickering that puts Pirates against eachother rather than putting them on the same line...
The Forum of Old was a one of a kind Forum, the Forum of today, allthough still filled with Good Souls can be found on other places as well...It lost something and i doubt if we will ever retrieve it again...i'm sorry if i sound darkminded , but i can assure you that i'm not suffering from a gloomy day , it's how i feel it, like it or not.
