Everything dies, so that's no argument to make anything die quicker.CyberSee wrote:People seem to forget that the game is more or less dead anyway. What Hoch did was just speed the inevitable up.
And really poeple should not have such hard feelings a 15 year old game.
You could, but then you'd be telling lies. People always want something new, something that looks better, people will start playing other games and the games that used to be cool will be forgotten not long after. Yeah playing some old games now and then can be fun, but they won't always keep you entertained longer than the trip down memory lane lasts. Don't fool yourself, nothing lasts forever, and SS/DSB won't either.jim the chin wrote:Everything dies, so that's no argument to make anything die quicker.CyberSee wrote:People seem to forget that the game is more or less dead anyway.

The age of the game has nothing to do with it either. In fact, you could make the opposite argument for age. People are fonder of older games than they are of short-lived ones.
Every staff member higher than regular Op> will get blamed for abuse of power sooner or later. Sometimes it's true, usually it's exaggerated nonsense. Most of the time the biggest douchebag teenager DSB had to offer at that moment was the one doing the claiming. I'm not saying anything you say above isn't true, but people tend to overreact when mishaps occur or they catch a mod in a busy/bad mood and they expected a friendlier response. That all gets blown out of proportions and that's how stories get created.jim the chin wrote:Also what SK said is true, he banned a lot of people for reasons that were plain ridiculous. He was an egomaniac dictator figure, threatened by anyone capable of being a threat, especially those with any popular support or those who were talented enough to be appreciated more than him. This resulted in most developers being turned away or put off by the multitude of restrictions he enforced, and the zone stagnated. Nothing was done for years. His proclivity for banning and talking down to people was further evidence for his personality malfunction. He used this place to entertain his fantasy for power in real life, but as such, he was more like the security guard on the front door, abusing his power at every turn. If he was still here he would ban any of us for saying this, and do you know what else he would do... (because this happened to me), he would keep you banned until you denied the accusation of his abuse of power and apologised for it. He gets off on it. Good riddance, shame about the wife.

No, you are being ridiculous. I'm not saying things could not be better but come on...Seriel Killer wrote:You are forgetting the other side, where you have a good working zone where everybody is happy and enjoy the management of the person in charge. Too bad we never got to see that here.
