[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 1745993, member: 177"] I don't think that EN World needs a change of focus, mostly because I think it's focus changes organically with changes in the interestsof the bunch of us. Morrus isn't dumb, and he watches, and sees what we talk about, and gets feedback, and occasionally makes changes and stirs the pot to create a bit of freshness that keeps things lively. All good, there. I think sometimes individual people need to check out their own focus. Morrus and the admins and mods all need to occasionally do a self-check and make sure they are stil doing all the work for the right reasons. The posters and readers need to do a self-check to make sure they're behaving themselves, and discussing constructively. The publishers need to check and make sure that they remember who and what they are working for. And so on. It seems to me that things here have always worked best when the focus was on new ideas, community, and how really cool and fun the games can be when done well. When the focus of individual shifts away from the fannish roots of [i]everyone[/i] involved, things become less nice. Seems to me that some of the publishers may have forgotten some of that. They'd be better off if they tuned into it again. [/QUOTE]
