As someone who’s been here since 2005, there have always been crappy people. But the thing to remember is that this site has always persevered and the good people have stayed and the bad ones have left or been banned.

Back when I started, this site was mainly just a site for people to crap on George Lucas not releasing the original trilogy, signing a petition to try to convince him to do so and trading LD rips that only looked good on a small CRT.

While everyone and their Moth3r was trying to create the best capture of this once-awesome analogue medium, there was supposed to be one that ruled them all… and created quite a shitstorm in the process: the X0 project. This team had massive promise and a website and even merchandise! People (including me) gave donations and all of this hype led to the greatest fizzling out of all times. I, and many others, understood that sometimes these things happen, but there were plenty of furious members who demanded their money back.

Then there was the GOUT and the despair and pages and pages of bickering about “Cheap George”.

Then Harmy came along and his thread is filled with pages and pages of one-posters asking for invites to MySpleen.

Let’s also not forget about Team Negative One… Or the new forum software…

While Harmy and the new movies have created an upsurge in new members, having crappy personalities on this site is nothing new. They’ve all just been banned or have left. So, let’s be civil here guys. Getting furious about why Mon Mothma is at Yavin base, or having a hissy fit because people don’t appreciate “the finer qualities” of AOTC is just embarrassing.
