Once A Fool
Heh.
I, at somepoint stopped reading this mutating thread, and simply began skimming since it all seemed to contain the same sort of continuous blurbing.
I don't roleplay all that often anymore, so i'm not as crushed as some are by this news. However, I am not surprised at all that this is occuring. I'll have to take the WizO's word on it that a offer was extended for an idea or two about what sort of chat software should be pursued for the future of this online community; and if no response was given, well not much we can do about that I suppose.
Reason i'm not surprised by this turn of events though, is because when the new software was unveiled to us, I would have to hazard a guess that around eighty percent of roleplayers outright complained and booed the new direction that was chosen. Well, when you bite the hand that feeds you, that hand may no longer choose to feed you. So I would have to say that we do have partly ourselves to blame for this scene unfolding before us.
I would also like to say I have the energy to sit around and blame others and bicker back and forth about it until the moon drops out of the sky; I don't though. Instead, what energy I do have, I think should be aimed at thanking people like Raven, Siani, Pou and others who have decided to volunteer their time to try and keep the ISRP going by moving it off-site.
Or players like Jardel, who has donated space from his own website forums to hold discussion threads about the direction of the new ISRP community.
That is what I would be doing with my time, instead of pointing fingers and the like. Since that will only get you no where fast. Where as helping the others build anew, might accomplish more then many in this community may have ever imagined.
Thats my piece.
