[QUOTE="catastrophic, post: 4959096, member: 81381"] On the contrary, I was considering becoming a comunity supporter, but I decided not to because I don't like the way the mods operate. Am I supposed to support the comunity no matter how the comunity acts? I'm supposed to 'step up' so you and your buddies can go on and on and on about how 4e killed your dog and ruined your forum? Why should I support a community which is so enthusiastic about damaging itself? I'm not going to pay to get lectured in red text because I have an improper opinion. That's not 'stepping up', that's bending over. People join comunities like this because they feel welcome. They contribute financially because they feel positive about their experiece. If enworld is having a problem with it's comunity supporters, then it should look at the experience people are getting, and the perception people take away from their visit. That said, I think enworld's problems have more to do with the ongoing expenses relating to the server and the forum software. This effects all sorts of things. For instance, there have been a lot of crashes and downtime, and even if that's in the past, I think that has limited the turnover of new members, the type that might not already be a comunity contributor. It might be that what enworld needs is a dedicated tech to run and fine tune the place and cut back features if need be. [/QUOTE]
