I do NOT think "everything going on" is Technovikings fault and its a pathetic and shameless act to say so.
A wide variety of people on here have been pushing the limits of what's socially acceptable, respectful, polite, courteous, etc for some time now, and Techno was the first to finally take a stand against some of it. Good for him.
A VERY wide variety of people on here have VERY short fuses, and get riled up VERY easily over simple and unimportant issues. This has been getting worse and worse --and was so long before Techno arrived on the scene, so it's had nothing to do with him. I've been a member here for nearly two years, believe me: this started LONG before even I was arround.
A large number of contributing factors have come into play, or become more outspoken or publicly-aware, all at the same time: many people have become ruder, nearly EVERYONE has a shorter fuse, there were a number of glitches on and with the site, EVERYONE has become greedy-er and accustomed to dirt-cheap SDreef prices/customs, and a few other things --all about the time Techno stepped into the scene.
Very very little, if anything, is to be blamed on Technoviking. (and I'm not just saying this cause he's my best friend or anything, I've never even met him, and at the moment can't even remember his real name...)
Thanks Technoviking for HELPING this website stay functional.
Thanks Techoviking for HELPING this website to maintain some semblance of a civil and decent atmosphere.
Thanks Technoviking for HELPING despite the NUMEROUS prideful, arrogant, irritable, picky, complaining, whining, negative, cranky, arguing, dissatisfied, immature, selfish, confrontational, prick-ish, and otherwise NON_HELPFUL people on here.
(notice how I was able to write a mini-dissertation and didn't blame anyone in particular? I didn't call anyone any names? I didn't accuse anyone? I didn't complain and whine? I didn't drag any private matters through the streets? Now, why can't everyone do this? I really wasn't very hard!)
