Let`s be calm, shall we ? Nobody`s pants are on fire.
Before Zach or any of the people threatening to leave ever got here, the core of this forum was a group of 6-10 competent players (Liam, Chris, Taylor, Rex, that Toasty chap
, one or two others). None of us has any thought of going anywhere, as far as I know. CC will be just fine.
I have not been here as long as you by any means... but this is obviously the truth.
I have to keep my emotions in check.
When I see people on the forum acting like children taking their toys away as they leave the sandbox a small part of me hopes they actually mean what they say. Good riddance. Then again that is almost as childish as their response.
The group of players upset by recent events and threatening to leave has some good players in it. But then, there are many good poker players out here in the world, and I imagine the vacuum created at this forum will close up faster than we could think.
The greatness of this forum is not embodied in a few members. And I can name at least 12 members who AFAIK are not leaving whos opinion I would trust on the game as much as those who are leaving. Not to mention it might often be delivered with more maturity. I find it silly that so many place so much faith in so few, frankly.
One reason I like this forum more than 2+2 is the attitude of the members.
I see far less snipey arrogant lemming like foolishness with all the freaking checkboxes and holier than thou bs. Otehr forums are full or overyoung testosteronic dweebs who live to try to shove the inferiority of others down their throats.
IMHO some of the defectors might fit in quite well in other forums.
One last thing. Based on an assumption that I imagine most of us have come to.
