(Skip this paragraph if you care not for who I am.) Let me start off with a little... introduction. I was a C&Ger when the C&G had intelligence and humor, back in late '09, '10, and early '11 (though arguably the latest date was full of the small children and trolls that it is now). I was dedicated to my clans and this forum to quite an extent, often with high "ranks" in major "clans" and respected among them and for the most part, here as well. I quit just after the summer of 2011 in which I could no longer tolerate this site's downfall from when I first joined in 2008, then rejoined on this account in 2009. I've been a part of many things that came and went here, as well as started some, and have usually stood out as "the guy in all black with the grey skin," and "sand, the guy in Minor Threat/R.A.T./U.A.F." I really didn't care what I was called.
(If you're going to read any of this, read ths paragraph.) Since then I have been checking up on this forum once a month to sort of guage how much the site and the whole "clan" scene has declined. If it's not obvious, or if you joined in 2011, then it has declined quite a bit.
(This part some agree with, others troll it.) Yes, this site is ultimately awful. It had some good ideas and some good times, yes, but the community it has ultimately killed it. not everyone has contributed to its collapse, but yes, the site's once-thriving and helpful community is, well, noy a community anymore, but a nesting ground for trolls, attraction to small children who join "clans" that decrease their maturity, and teenage guys who generally stick to the forums and some "clan bases." I just don't understand how the maybe 100 sane users of the millions of users are still here.
Because I only check up once a month, and this site is so awful, again, I'll only be here for an hour at most. Every time, though, someone asks me why I stay here if it's so awful. That should be self-explanitory - I don't stay here.
That's about all the time I'm taking from you this month. See you next month, or hopefully, I won't. |

| Maybe the smart people should start taking back lost ground then, in stead of Q.Qing about how terrible it is here. |

No he is not.
But it's good to see that this thread in particular isn't as bad of many of the others... |

@Toni
Why would they want it back if they're QQing about it being terrible? |

| To fix it of course. If everyone just runs away when new C&Gers come, no wonder there is chaos here. |

Yes, a slow site-wide conversion of the site and forum as well would be eradicated by a few "smart people."
Each time I go here I try to convince others of the obvious truth of this site, hoping they don't waste as much time, money and effort as I did.
Ah, but yes, I do remember you, oh powerful and known Toni. T.R.A, was it? |

| Someone's got to take this forum back. It's got quite the history. |

| I personally find this site rather enjoyable. The community is just as bad/good as before, but older people like you have outgrown the current userbase. |

| People are blinded by what they think. That is why we have a large amount of arrogant people. :P |

I don't find it a waste, if it's still fun.
Of course, what I consider fun varies from your opinion of the word.
