I used to come here all the time but now since I don't play the game daily and in some ways have moved on to some new games I seldom do. I see nothing has changed.
While I do respect Zoner91 as someone who's been around the block a few times and especially like his signatures, I do politely disagree with the comment that most forums are like this one. When I was playing this game daily, I looked for some other sites just because I got tired of what was on this one and found many that treated people with respect consistently. That's not to say there were not disagreements, but they were handled much better.
As I have tried other games I have found forums for those, and have also found that many if not most treat their members with much more dignity than most are treated here. Yes you will occasionally have the loudmouth, or the one that tries to pick fights with everyone, but they are generally dealt with swiftly by admins or generally ignored. But many on this site have it refined to an art. Something they log on for and look forward to.
Even in a case such as this where a user is simply is trying to help, he is attacked and belittled. Which of course is the AA tradition. In many other forums, issues such as the Cap's thing, spelling, or whatever else would either not be mentioned publicly at all or would be mentioned respectfully. But not here. That would go against the AA way.
It doesn't have to be a Disney site in order for people to treat each other with respect. If you go to a site where people are all treating each other respectfully, most will do the same, those that don't just look like schmuks and are ignored. However if you go to a site where it's all flamers, complainers, attackers and abusive language, that's what you can expect. Which is one of the reasons I stopped coming.
Now thank God I have moved on from AA and for the most part MOH with the exception that occasionally I will drop by to see if the same people are around that were causing all the problems as before, for the most part..they are.
I'm sure even this post will probably be flamed, but by the time I come back again it will be so far off the list, I will never see it so whooptido. I don't think there is any hope for this site ever growing up.
