Circus Maximus Recruiting

Now first off I have been over at Circus Maximus and there are a lot of nice people over there.

Now, I have noticed several times when someone has a problem with or voices any dislike of EN World that someone from Circus Maximus will post for them to 'come over' to Circus Maximus. It's kind of like sharks smelling blood!

Now I don't mind them recruiting or looking for more people to go over to Circus Maximus but this adversary tone with EN World in their posts seems to be....well....not very nice. It's almost like 'hey if you hate EN World you will love Circus Maximus' sort of thing. Now I love EN World and I don't dislike Circus Maximus. Can't people like both with out sniping at the other?

Just my two cents........

Circvs isn't the only dissident pool - there's also Nothingland and (to a lesser extent) Nutkinland. Indeed those two have dissident pools of their own. It's amusing at best and it can get downright nasty at worst.

I for one don't like it. Instead of looking after 1 site I'm now looking after 4. I'm spread too thin to effectively work on any of them. I'm still waiting for tensions to cool. I don't know if they ever will - it amazes me the power of a grudge.

Anyway, personally I want to get through Gencon and then the relaunch of Dusk. After that I'll be turning my attention to a project which will get more publicity when I feel the time is right.

I don't think in general CMers dislike ENWorld as a whole (though some obviously do). Most post here, too. If they post here, they can't hate it too bad.

Some, however, feel a bit restrained by the ENWorld style of moderation and beleive that some problem posters have a pattern of passive-aggressiveness and between-the-lines sniping, and would rather speak to these folks more plainly.

Shush you - I change my mind at least 3 times a week. Right now it looks like I get to go.

I like both boards.

EN World's excellent features are obvious, but there are a number of very interesting religious conversations that I have been able to have at CM which would have been impossible here.

I like to think that CMers (myself being one of them) don't think of CM as a "dissenter" board of ENWorld escapees, but as very much an add-on (it is, after all, a Morrus board, hosted on the same server); a greater off-topic board if you will.

But I can't speak for everyone, obviously. There are definitely those on the board who have "moved on" from posting at ENWorld. But as Psion puts it, if folks're over here advertising, that means that they're still poking around (and posting) on ENWorld. So for the most part no harm, no foul, right?

Bah.

There ARE mods on CM. Three of them no less, for a MUCH smaller userbase than here.

CM has a FAR higher moderator : user ratio.

Anyways, who would want to go to CM when the big thread in the RPG forum is Nightfall telling everyone there to do nasty things to themselves? And without even tying said nastiness to the Scarred Lands?
