I didn't say the forums were pure chaos before I arrived (not only would that suggest they were never fun back then but it also implies I personally had some talismanic influence over everything...clearly not the case).

The bolded bit is an extremely curious statement to me. Care to explain it further?

If it means what I think you mean it to mean and what the words would have it mean (which is usually not the case with you) you are suggesting that I was suggesting that you're arrival de-chaosed the place? Obviously that is not what I intended to imply I thought you meant. I simply meant that you thought it seemed to calm down for other reasons (large quantities of creativity perhaps, as your post seemed to imply, which I can't get behind because I think we were far more creative before and not so much now (with the exception of Adywan).

The creativity on show when I was following up outside links to ANH:R lead me back here and was of a nature that appealed to me personally enough to join in.

I personally find that level of vibrancy very much alive and well, not just through what Adywan is doing (though he has been doing a heck of a lot) but from a lot of different contributors.

With the section you bolded I was pointing out that my influence clearly didn't have a part in that process because it was well in place before I signed up and is very much still in place now (and I really don't have superpowers). I was dispelling it as a possible misreading.

Even minor hiccups like those recent are trivial and have been dealt with without much in the way of gnashed teeth and pulled hair and with zero recourse to official moderation (as yet).
