[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 1746322, member: 426"] I am pretty happy with EN World as it is, but I believe its true role is as a fansite. I am here for the community more than the news. This community has made my life as a gamer richer. As for the Ennies, I think the question has to be asked whether they are more trouble than they are worth. I think the suggestion of having the best x of winter 2004 is a bit strange, as I can think of no other annual award that works in that manner. So, I think reviewing the future of the Ennies is an important idea. I think we do have to be a little more considerate of each other, but there is only so much the moderators can do to encourage this. Umbran's call for self-reflection is important, and this may help to solve some problems. Also, more of us can step forward and support the site in different ways -- including community supporter accounts. Possibly we can have a few "pledge drives" each year, with any publisher willing to do so offering something to people during the pledge drives. As for E.N. Publishing, I do not see it as greatly changing the nature of this site. In the thread in General Discussion, I likened it to a gift shop at a house of worship. At least one publisher admitted that if he was in Morrus' position, he would be promoting E.N. Publishing more heavily. Above all, I think we need to keep the lines of communication open. I have learned about products and ideas here that I might not have encountered without EN World. I have made friends because of this site. So, to everyone who keeps this place together.....
