Hope to see you around in the future if you ever get back into any of the games FA plays.

Good Luck!

I kind of understand him, i felt the same way about the AA division. kind of. I just get an impression of things being a bit more .."tense" in FA i guess

Exactly. Hopefully in time things will relax more overall. It's just that, right now, everyone has been hating on everyone for so long, that no one wants to be around eachother anymore. Now with things coming along, and people being a little more positive as of late, I think things will return to a better tone. It'll take time, but things will relax and grow.

A relief indeed.

Wow, drama season or what, clans, guilds, local friends.
What the gay is with people.

Ive never had any beef with you no0b, mainly because im not in any divisions, but I wish well for you and your future endeavors.

I'll miss ya bro. I understand how you see. It's rather true, but really I could careless atm.

late .

I'd have to agree with noob; though I don't post on these forums... I remember when this clan was something entirely different, something more like a large group of friends instead of a small cliquey forum. I originally joined in late 99 early 00 and I had some great times. However somewhere along the line the noose got tightened; people became defensive and the quality as a whole began to decline and stagnate.

I'm not a real favorite around the general forums, in part because I'm a fairly blunt person; but I don't go out of my way to be an asshole either. Regardless I felt like this new forum move was going to change the already deteriorating mentality of the old forums in which I decided to make one simple post to test this theology. I posted "I miss the old forums" and immediately got jumped on as if I were attacking these forums; I never said I didn't like these forums - just that I missed the old ones. People seemed to take it like everything else around here; in a negative way, and to my dismay, opened fire.

I hope everything works out for the best, but I do feel that it's hard to see this clan as a benchmark among the community anymore.

This clan was like dieing for how many years, hah, let's be serious for a second, it was no benchmark for a quite a while. At any point, really, Shiznitt could have just shut down the domain, and that would have been lights-out. A couple of guys decided to keep it going, not you maverick, not you Noobmasta, right? I'm really not trying to be negative here, let's be honest with ourselves. FA always had cliques; clans are cliquey, isn’t that what a clique is?

clique - an exclusive circle of people with a common purpose

I guess that's kind of what clans are, no?
No, FA no longer has 600 active members, I don't believe the recent decisions on behalf of a few leaders changed that, if anything activity is the same, or better.

FA was never perfect, there were always people that never liked the system, always, always people getting booted from the channel, always people getting afterlifed or banned, can't please everybody. This is FA now, if you really don't like it, you can leave, and you can come back if you want, that's always been the policy, right? Are you even in the clan maverick…?

This place is nothing more than a mirc channel, a website, and a message board, FA is what you make it, you know that. A lot of people live in the past around here, FA this, FA that, it is what it is.

Very nicely said, Lith. More than anything we're trying to bring back the competitive aspect of FA. Trying to get the name out there again in the community.
