I think that those who keep saying that people are offended by the drivel are missing the real problem.

Few are offended...but many (most?) newcomers will instantly lose all respect or interest for any site, or product, or game (or whatever the forums are for), when they read stuff like this. As I said before, most people who see that crap will just lol and move on.

I was frankly surprised that tentonhammer wrote about Project 1999. I think that sort of thing would be much more common, and much more positive, if we presented ourselves as a mature community for a mature product.

Yeah - this probably needs to be enforced to actually change. But again, I think its well worth it.

Bah, I'm rambling. Go read the SoD forums and consider what comes to mind when you think about SoD.

Have to disagree. Forum rants hardly reflect the quality of gameplay on p1999.
If anybody is turned away from this awesome awesome server because of rants and trolling they are reading on this forum, then I pity them.
Also, there are more "I love p1999 and can't wait to play again" posts than there are flames and rants.

Plus, out of the 600 or more people who play p1999, I think there are less than 100 or so who even pay attention to the forums on a regular basis.

This is a good point.

At the end of the day I think it safe to assume that we all want this server to feel like a real EQ server population wise.

sorry to say but you are completely wrong!

newcomers (mostly eq-vets) are solely and foremost interested in this to see if it is worth to play here:

Regardless of how anyone feels, I don't even see the point in arguing this if it's already been stated that

Wow, thanks. I actually did not recall seeing that. And it's the FIRST line of the forum rules!...

Glad Nilbog feels the same way. Now if it would only be enforced.

If you were attempting to make the most useless/irrelevant comment in 10 pages of text...
