Oh, we (as in, the "oldbies" of this forum) did. We moved to other forums where staff actually cared. Cause nobody here (except Cannis's brief stint as a moderator) did - flamewars went on for days, even weeks, until one of us would PM The End or someone else with a direct link to the problem, any calls for stickifying important discussions were ignored, the only time you people did react swiftly was when RockPatch appeared. The rest of your actions were simply once in a blue moon "hmm I'm bored, nothing's happening in the other forums, let's see if the ra2 forum is still alive" events, like you jumping in and deleting a six months old thread (which was still on the first page).

I am well aware of this thing called real life, and I do understand it takes priority over internet stuff, but people can't really be expected to sit around a nearly-dead forum thinking "one day the great father figures of the old days might want to make themselves feel important again and revisit us". If a site's staff disappears and the site starts falling apart, the ordinary members will find another sites to hang around, cause, guess what, those other sites still have active staff and active projects!

I was unable to transfer the pm's from the old forum and as a result I did not recognize you as the member that warned me about the potential problem. I have always made myself available and told everyone that I am one email away. I understand your frustration and do not blame those that moved on, so is life. Lets see how it goes moving forward!!!
