The World Forgotten: A Quarterly Review

[Loki]

What exactly did you expect? As far as I could tell, we're actually getting more substantive posts here than we did at Atari. Did you expect the number to increase exponentially, despite having roughly the same number of people contributing? Regarding the blog, sure it hasn't taken off, but I don't see how that affects the forum part of the site. Instead of complaining, you should be contributing yourself. I've been so swamped with work that I've had maybe 5 hours this entire week when I was home and not working on something that was due in the near future. That should hopefully change in the next 4 days or so, but I really don't see why you would attack others for not coming up with articles when you haven't done a single one yourself.

Regarding the sub-par posters you mention, they existed in Atari, and the ignore button exists for a reason.

Lastly, I find it slightly suspicious that you're making this post immediately after you run-in with Hazir. Perhaps you should whine about him instead of the site in general.

It saddens me that I have to explain this, but my post had nothing to do with Hazzy's little temper-tantrum; you can look at the time stamps and evaluate how much time it took me to write the OP.

I'm not attacking anyone for not writing for the blog and it says loads about you that you interpreted my writing in that way; I'm saying it was a fore-gone conclusion to start with. And if you think you've been busy lately, I would invite you to spend a week in my boots and tell me how that feels. But Finagle knows I cannot be as productive and good as the ever-bombastic and base Low-key.

I do not see how you can claim we're getting substantive posts. We're not, mostly. The signal to noise ratio might be a foreign notion to a humanities student such as yourself, but in layman's terms it means your precious good posts are lost in the sea of useless trash written by the dullards.

And if we have to resort to ignore functions we have already lost. Fuzzy's myopic stance of the world notwithstanding, it is a sad state of affairs when the "decent" posters have to shout at each other over the droning of the idiots. And many of the "decent" posters are liable to begin to add each other to their ignore lists due to ideological differences.
