So we totally split from SoaH, possibly resulting in them getting angry at us and accusing us of making a forum to ridicule and hate them

next up we troll the clique

So wait... what really happened with SoaH over the past few weeks? I never really thought that I'd come out of lurking here, rather than doing so over there.

I r uninformed D:

Let me give you the general gist of it.

What happened was that we basically banned three troublemakers who have been heckling the board for years, and the members decided that we were out of line and it wasn't fair. The entire staff was sick of their shit, and we pretty much were about ready to quit. I personally resigned and had Aroxys replace me to take care of the admin things since there was no other admin.

Aroxys was messing around with the ACP, and he somehow managed to accidentally ban everyone on the forums, including himself and Dennis. How he managed to ban the root admin is beyond me, as it's impossible. The boards were down for a while, and The Clique immediately started implying it's a raid or a hack. While everyone was banned, registration was still open, so people could still make new accounts and do stuff. Polter made an account impersonating Shuki as a joke, but for one reason or another, The Clique interpreted this as him basically pointing the finger at Shuki and accusing her of hacking the site. The site was eventually restored by tech support, and the logs pointed towards Aroxys, which everyone then accused of hacking the site. Despite our defense, no one listened and made a big deal over it, mocking the crap out of the situation. Here are a couple of examples:

http://hathor-the-queen.deviantart.com/jou...fset=0#comments
http://xaeryx.deviantart.com/art/IPB-Accid...Guide-178029517

Whatever the case, in the end, Dennis reopened the board, put Shaun completely in charge and stepped down from being active owner of the forums. The entire staff was fired and was replaced by members of The Clique, barring two people.

Regardless of this fact, we had all decided it was time to move on and SoaH wasn't a very suitable home for us anymore. People refuse to hang around a community based around a group of people in their twenties who still act like they're 12. SoaH has stagnated for years, the senior members spurning any potential fresh meat for the sake of preserving the nostalgia they've grown up with over the years. It's like the comic book industry, it's become almost completely inaccessible to new, younger people.

And there you have it, all that's happened in as much of a summary I can make.

Shouldn't really matter, it was their country, it always had been. We just managed to slip in under calmer times. Thinking about it, that sorta made us unlucky to have gone through it at all, but hey, at least we all hooked up and became bros. : D

Yeah, it's actually kind of awesome this way, I must say. It's even becoming quite active, though I wouldn't complain about a few more members.

...That's what she said.
Good Game

More members will always be a work in progress. It's just going to take people telling all their friends, and their friends telling their friends until we get a chain reaction.

Aside from that, we're actually working on (gasp) a blog to go with the forums where we'd be posting up content in the form of reviews, podcasts, recorded Skype convos, Let's Plays, etc. This'll obviously be entertaining content for everyone plus it'll hopefully bring in more members.

That's cool. I thought that was coming. I am also willing to help with the vast majority of those things so let me know if/how/when you need my help.

Even if we stay fairly small and never get quite as big as the old country, I wouldn't mind terribly. All the folks who mattered are here, and at the very least, it's a start.

tl;dr-length "summary"

So, in sum, we've all effectively relocated ourselves (i.e. the rational few) here because of the ensuing reckless, erratic and galactic-shitstorm-inducing faggotry that has been plaguing SoaH for many, many years?

It's about damn time, I'd say.

Now that we've established this place as the "new" forum, I'm starting to feel more willing to become active with the forum scene again. It's for what I find to be a far greater cause, after all.

...well, that, and I'm looking forward to the holyshitfuck features that are soon to come. XD

Small communities are great, they're more tightly nit. However, you guys still have to remember that if this place ever became big (be it in the near or distant future), you're going to have to shrug off the shackles of nostalgia and try to be more welcoming to new things. What kills SoaH is that it's older memberbase was, in effect, a tightly nit community that refuses to let things go. The reason little cliques develop is because people can't accept new blood into their inner circle.

Regarldess, it's great to hear people are more willing to be active and participate, as that's actually what has kept this place from thriving over the past few years. I've had to shut down NB on numerous occassions because I couldn't gather a large and active enough memberbase.

I'm hoping the blog will be a community project. While there will be a handful of people running and organising it, it'd be cool if we could cram it full of stuff from everyone here. I still need to reorganise some of the forums to eradicate redundancy, so there should still be a few things popping up/being shifted within the next few days. Also, I want to do our own T3 like event in October, because it's just too much fun to have instead of letting a good thing go to waste.

For shits and giggles, should we steal the old country's old card game?
