Sad news about Ady choosing to leave this site. I have to say I can appreciate his point of view. His ANH edit introduced me to this site and I have enjoyed following many different OT projects. One source of frustration that we all should take into consideration is that a single thread is not the place to discuss EVERYTHING. There are many ways for all of us to interact as community members. With the ability to start Private Topics with each other and participate in various threads, try not to let “STAR WARS: EP V “REVISITED EDITION” ADYWAN - Suggestions now closed” be the only channel you use to communicate with everyone. We (myself included) have a bad habit of derailing threads (which I could arguably be accused of doing with this very post). An occasional joke is amusing, but when people have arguments and ego contests about topics completely unrelated to Ady’s edit and drag it on for 15+ posts, it gets old having to scroll through it all just to find out the status of ESB:R.

I’m not a moderator and I’m not saying I’m better than anyone else here. I’m just suggesting that we all try to be mindful about where and why we are posting to help keep this thread (and others) relevant and on-topic. That will reduce the likelihood of driving truly talented individuals like Adywan away from this site. I would suspect that he checks into this site to share updates, see if people have questions and, originally, to take suggestions about things he should do with his edit. Having to read through endless conversations filled with name-calling and insults cannot be very inspiring. Be respectful of other members, their work, and their threads. I like reading other people’s opinions and ideas, but let’s make sure we are sharing them in the right place and at the right time. Cheers!
