This really does suck. You are probably one of the best posters on the site for SC2, and it was always pretty cool to see one of these shit posters you are talking about put in his place in an LR thread by you.

I'm glad you're going to keep writing and I'm glad you still like Starcraft and I hope you'll be back. Sorry this is bothering you so much on what should be a happy day, as Life returns to Code S.

I completely agree with the OP. The SC2 general section turned to complete shit with all the balance whining, SC2 doomsdayers who want SC2 to die, and Terrans thinking the entire world is against them. I never browse that section because it's all now complete pessimism on the future of SC2 and tons of balance whining that goes unmoderated. If any mods read this, I wish that you guys here would step up and become harsher and give longer bans for the balance whiners, especially the ones who are consistent with their shitty posting.

So yeah, I'm sure Zealousy isn't the only person who will stop reading the SC2 general section. I stopped reading it a long time ago. It's sad that Reddit has become a more positive place than TL.

I think you're a great writer Zealousy, glad to see you will still be doing articles.

I'm of the mindset you can't win an argument on the internet, ever. I counter this hopeless feeling with the idea that things could always be worse, no matter what, things could be worse.

RTS is SC2, at least we got that going for us xD

I feel what you feel, Zealously! I think an added point is that the forums are so incredibly easy to influence. A caster or article on TL can spawn stuff that keeps getting regurgitated over and over and over. Like, say, Kespa being so absolutely awesome at everything. And when you've heard people repeat that for the hundredth time without any kind of reflection it's pretty annoying.

I usually just close the browser when I get too annoyed. But yeah, gl hf with everything and throw me a PM if you wanna chat without the bullshit

your stuff is interesting to read.

its clear to me the top TL MODs are all Terrans. How do you think Avilo became a featured streamer?

I can feel you, and I'll sorely miss your posts. One less sane person fighting back the morons means the quality goes down that much further

I hope to continue to see you in LR threads (though they get shitty from time to time too) and of course I still look forward to your articles <3

its a joke guy.

SC2 is in slow decline. but, its still the #1 or #2 platform for any RTS fan to test their skills and watch great games.
RTS is basically dead without SC2... maybe that is why these guys are so negative ,there is really no alternative.

i'm a beacon of positivity and optimism relative to the "end of the world" gang who basically sound to me like 14 year olds who've become bored of SC2s graphics.

Noooo

Please don't stay away for too long

+ Show Spoiler +
I have to agree tho, lots of complaining. There are times where I just had it with these forums (especially at the time Kespa players came from SC2, and hearing so many people say esf players were shit in comparison to them). I would feel just so stressed and irritated, that I even couldn't sleep at night thinking about it. I got over it tho.

If there's a tip I can give you (take it of you like, ignore if you don't): What I did was read over the whiny/shitty posts or convince myself they are just opinions (which they mostly are). I just avoid every internet discussion. You can never win anyway, even if you're right.

It's all right. I took a break from TL time to time because the TL community can get pretty toxic time to time. You're only human, so go take your leave! You earned it, and some of TLers will be waiting for your return! :D

i think the complaining could be just the general state of the RTS genre.
SC2 goes away.. and its basically gone.
no one is making AAA RTS games any more.

Gearbox is taking a kick at the can... but nothing has been shown of Homeworld yet.

vast over simplification... and its posts like this that do nothing for the forum... and perpetuate the kind of negativity you are complaining about.

you could phrase it in a neutral way: "Avilo put a lot of time and effort into persuading TL to feature him".

This is really sad, you were always a great enrichment to all conversations in the LR-threads and elsewere. I hope at some time, the forum will be a place, that you can enjoy again, personally I would´nt bother, if the mods would be a bit more aggressive with banning. Until then I look forward to your articles - and I still have to pay you those 4$ back at some point.

You're having a severe case of tunnel vision here.

People, in general, are going to be relatively unhappy about everything - at least in terms of picking flaws anywhere they can find. It's not just Oracles and Warp Gates, it's also the government, the economy, the state of music industry, sports, every hobby known to man, anything gaming-related ever made, Steam, Youtube, Electornic Arts, D&D 4th edition and the new Tyranid Codex in WH40k. And by the way, in all those things I have rarely heard "negative" complaints that are not rooted in truth.

The negativity is especially going to be visible in larger communities, and tones down significantly in smaller / tighter communities. When I joined TL (actually probably a year before that), it used to be a cool place filled with people committed to a very fringe hobby. I remember being intimidated as fuck when I was making my first posts here, and I spent a lot of time making sure I frame my argument properly. Of course that kind of atmosphere is going to degrade as its popularity and size of the community increases. Now I give zero fucks about what someone in a crowd glancing over my posts might think when they read it.
