Look, I quitted last week prior to finals, and I struggled to get back on the computer, because I wanted to help people, and chat with the cool forumers. Looks like my effort were for naught. Look at yourselves...you all make me greatly annoyed.
We have dude and devilnflesh leaving.
Some people are just blurting out they hack or hate IJJI
There's the same useless junk about hackers everyday
I finally realized something, I used to love the forums, but really in my heart, I despised it greatly.
I now even see forum vets and some of the most respectable people flaring at each other, and shout back to every post just because they feel like it. Where has the old peace gone? We used to stand together against trolls, flamers, and the trash of the forums, but now, we've become the trash itself, and we're just fighting every day.
Damn it people. get your act together (I'm not speaking for everyone, just some, and yes, you people know who you are. If you don't, well, I'll make it apparent for you the next few days).
I really wish we could go back to the past, when we were all chatting happily about the game, thinking up quest ideas, making weapon suggestion, just having fun in general.
Oh yeah, and people who don't care for moral ethnics? Yeah, I hardly care about what you post, because you're just some insignificant fodder to this forum. I don't even know why you people bother to come on the forums, because you're not really making a huge difference to us except seperating the ignorant with the sane.
So everyone, start supporting, not hating,

If you have your finals, focus on that instead of struggling to get back on to help and communicate with people over the Internet.

I agree with this thread completely. I've only been here a few short months and I've seen it go downhill and my sanity with it. There is no way for me to take this forum or many of these forumers seriously now and the only way I can stay here is by finding ways to thrive on the rubbish it has become.
We're finally becoming a real internet community, scum and all. :D I believe this would be an appropriate time to hold hands and sing Abide With Me. Or we can point to each other and sing Disco Inferno. Both sound good.

While I've been here longer than Thahanos(or at least this account of his), I didn't start posting on the forums until recently. And it's basically the same as any other community, so I'm used to seeing these kinds of posters and conform by becoming an **************************** for no reason. xP
Either way, we can't force the community to become what it was before. People will be people. And as IJJI GunZ grows, more people will come - good or bad. The best and healthiest thing we can do is ignore it. I'm not typically susceptible to posts. >.>
Though that may not be everyone, I'm sure we can handle a bit of ego and anger and the like, etc. If you look at any of the other games' forums, you don't see people at each others' necks. It's likely because they're not playing PvP games that involve gaining something at the expense of someone else. It's bound to happen. Just let it slide is all I can say. Or follow Maelnin and me. xP

Heh, we've let it slide for 2-3 months, I don't see good results.
I know I can't change the world, anyone, let alone a forum, but I just want people to just think like adults. Because people made online games to escape reality, but the truth is, online games show what the real inner you is like. Even if you don't know it.

You mean I really am going insane? D:
This forum requires that you wait 60 seconds between posts. Please go away and do something productive, purposeful or in some way beneficial to the human race then try again in 5 seconds.

Well take me for an example. I'm a careless gamer who spends too much time on games and does reasonably good in school, chill with friends, and crack jokes everyday.
On the forums, I'm rather, serious.

I'm getting less and less serious on these forums now. In real life I try not to get too serious either. I find that there are certain places where I can break away from this and really let myself out but when a forum gets like this, it's never a good idea. The less seriously you take everything, the further you distance yourself from the problem, the less likely you are to get burnt. And that disco burns. It burns, baby.

Sure, we can want people to think like adults, but you have to remember that most GunZ players are, in fact, kids. I'm just sixteen myself(started playing at fifteen). If we try and work people into maturity again, we've lost our "reality escape". :P
Personally I play because I like owning my friends. xD

You know the idea of adolescence is relatively new. It used to be that a child went straight from a child to an adult. There was not any of this B.S. they can do what they want for a few years crud. You were either respected as an adult or treated as a child. I don't think it is an unreal expectation.
In turn I don't think it is to much for people to do their best to act like mature individuals. Adolescence is merely a term to explain away someone's lack of readiness to be an adult.
I agree with Than, but I say that, with a little work, we can become a good group again. If yall had not noticed. I really was not posting for a while. I was tired of the spam and the idiocy, but I decided to come back, because I do not think the forum is a lost cause.

My all-time favourite spammer <3 Responsibility it hoisted upon young people later and later in life these days, so when they become legal adults they can easily get overwhelmed by it all. It's like that line from that song by that guy in that band: I've got the brain of a baby and the heart of an old man.
