An Inconvenient Truth

[Bishop]

So this is something that I know most of us are thinking but nobody has bothered to speak aloud. An inconvenient truth to for cC: We no longer have any "higher-caliber" members joining, and those who do join are funserver goers who read the line "Vote for admins on our forums!" Hardly anyone is joining at this point, and when they do join they aren't active and don't stand out on the servers in any way. Just more faces in the crowd. I don't know how to fix it, but we can all see that it's happening. I may be dramatizing this a bit, but it's just a shame to see that this community seems to have reached it's peak of good/active members. This is a great community, and I wish I could see it prosper again.

[Beetle]

Thought you were going to say you were leaving again. Now THAT would be melodramatic.

[Kriegsmarine]

yeah but do we REALLY want Funserver people becoming full members?

[BAMF]

everything has to peak at some point

[MrKerplunkers]

To be fair, Denzo is a pretty cool guy. Also, summer is right around the corner, and for better or worse that always comes with plenty of new blood.

[Kriegsmarine]

Denzo's new? Did not know that... and he's an admin.

[spleenter]

Like you?

anyway... In my opinion we are a small community, we don't have enough servers to really put our names out there and attract the better players. If we were a bigger community that might attract more people.

Also, most higher-caliber players are utter douche bags.

[Kriegsmarine]

Hey! I joined before you. My computer just crashed and no one went on the main server after I got a new one.

[Denzo]

Woah, fucking woooooooooooooah. I'm an everyserver guy.

He bribed his way to admin.

I never ment it to be a hit agaInst the funserver, you're just one of the best dudes we picked up in a while

Denzo's new? Did not know that... and he's an admin.

He bribed his way to admin.

Could've sworn he had admin before his little shopping spree...

Just after New Year's, I think.

[Riftoff]

I didn't vote for Denzo for admin cause he bought me shit, I voted him because he's cool. (unlike you tampa)

[scottlind1]

Well. The main server could possibly be used to attract newcomers. People who like the standard valve maps would dearly love our mainserver... then we absorb them into our community...

[PwnerJohn]

and those who do join are funserver goers who read the line "Vote for admins on our forums!".

Uh... No? I didn't join because of the 'vote for admins' thing at all. I simply joined because the funserver has a nice community. Admins are fun(usually, sometimes they take it too far), good maps are usually chosen, people are nice and funny... etc.

when they do join they aren't active

I'm active. I've played most of the days that I could play TF2.

don't stand out on the servers in any way

Do people need to stand out just to play a game that they have fun at? I wasn't here from the beginning, so I have no idea how pro you guys were, but I know I'm here for the fun(and to get better with fun people).

Since I only usually play Badwater, I have another server for that, that's why I don't play on the mainserver...


I'm just saying.

You are marked as a dead man already.

ugh tampa have you ever tried not being a massive ball of shitposts

also yeah denzo's alright in my book, but I don't really see what that has to do with anything

The irony is almost overwhelming here.

I fail to see the irony of you making a shitpost while quoting someone who said stop making shitposts.

Define shitpost.

[BAMF]

the best way to define a shitpost is to give an example of it

He bribed his way to admin.

You fail to realize that most of your posts are shitposts as well.

Holy shit, this topic sucks even harder now

If you want this community to be less insular, invite people and stop being such a shithead to the newbies.

Topic locked.
