You can blame anyone one you want, but at the end of the day the only people you can legitimately blame are Rogean and Nilbog (the same people who've led P99 to be the massive success that it is today). All that "same group of neckbeards" is doing is saying what Rogean/Nilbog would say if they didn't have better things to do.

This is not "Your Project". It is not "Project Democracy". And it is definitely not "Project 1999 Except For That One Thing From 2007 That Bob Wants". It is "Project 1999", and Rogean, Nilbog, and many others have devoted a huge amount of time and money to making it exactly that.

Think of Project 1999 like an art project. If you happen to be able to gain some enjoyment from the (100% free) art then great! The artist worked hard and it probably makes them happy to know that someone is enjoying their work. But you don't go in to an art gallery and start yelling at the artist to change their painting because you think it would be better with more red ... even if it really would be better with more red. It doesn't matter: that's not the painting the artist wanted to paint, so if you want more red go paint your own painting.


EDIT

And before anyone jumps in with "but what about un-classic thing X?", yes, the project isn't perfect, but every compromise has only been because the P99 team felt it was necessary, not because they like having things un-classic. On the contrary they are constantly working to remove un-classic things (eg. light blue cons).
