LW won't crash and burn. They've got too much pull now to go away. They do need to sort a lot of stuff out though, because in terms of interesting reading material, that site is pretty shocking at the minute. We'll see how this year pans out; by November you usually know who the big sites will be that year (if there are any newcomers etc.).

The way they treat certain people is appaling and yet they lie about it afterwards.

I know! I made it, ran it, built it up and then got banned!

Anyway, back on topic, this thread has been hijacked. Create a new topic if you want Scene rambling or drag it to the OT

The scene as such isn't dead but the atmosphere is.

Thank you, Mr Brightside.

Arvin has decided to step down/leave the scene altogether

[Kaz]

Sad news. From my time on the scene, which hasn't been very long, I've always thought of him as a great guy. He will be missed.

Considering doing the same. It's not 'fun' any more. No motivation to do anything forum related for a couple of weeks now.

[David]

Eggnog, your still staff?

[TheIrishMourinho]

No I was on a 2 week suspension & I got bored and re-opened FMC but it's full of spammy cunts.


Will hand the forum over to someone else or something, if anyone is crazy enough to want it.

[Joey™]

Not really the place for it, but hey ho, why didn't you just sit it out and come back after a two week break?

Haha, fair enough man.

Suspension from staff though.... First time I think I have heard of that from a fansite. What did you do?

I was going to, but being honest I didn't have much motivation for posting FM discussion on here after the suspension. Lost interest. Would have been pretty useless to bring back on the team anyway.

Won't discuss that here.

Weren't they circulating the NOOS a while back though?

[Jackk!]

To be fair the motivation has gone for alot of people.

It's good that FM became more popular as it gives them more money which hopefully they'd invest in improving the game - but unfortunately, it's opened the forums to some spammy bastards who come on just looking for good players to sign, then some unsavoury characters who aren't exactly welcoming, have an effect on that person's posting.

Hence, it's rare for new people to come through with a decent posting style. Just spammy, defensive and sarcastic - and mostly in the OT sections.

I've only just arrived on this forum but I totally agree. I think I'm probably guilty of posting too much in the OT and not enough in the FM sections, something I will try and rectify soonish but personally I think there is a lot of disagreements (which is good) but I think that these arguments too often lead to people just trying to shout each other down where agreeing to disagree would easily solve the problem and make the forums a much easier place to start posting.

[Jackk!]

Discussion gets overreacted to an argument by a bunch of prepubescent keyboard warriors.

I know - I've been there. There are several other offenders and it does spoil the new crop. I don't blame the people that step down from the "scene" like Arvin. They knew they werent getting the old days back for a while and it does ruin alot of the enjoyment.

But anyways - this is a Staff Announcement Thread, not a COBRA meeting put together to save the FM community.

By staff announcement we want to know why that odious cretin got suspended..
