Not only that, there barely any sign of respect or appreciation for what he has done to the community. As mentioned before, a lot of people including me would not have known about this website if not for Klazart. His commentaries on Youtube are one of the best ways to reach out to the mass audience and advertise e-sports to them.

If Klazart invites people who don't play SC and don't bother to know the difference between a 9 pool and a 12 pool, then the extra people probably aren't worth it. | ||

I think Artosis is only good at replay analysis, otherwise he just sounds so bored and unenthusiastic. His dual commentaries are better though. Chill sounds so lazy when he commentates, boring. Klazart sounds annoying when he talks to fast but hes definetly better than chill or plexa. w/e everyone has to have they're say on this site. loud and clueless or reserved and knowledgeable | ||

Some members on authonomy are upset, because they have built up their little bit of fame in their small community and don't want to lose their precious rating. Others react really relaxed and think of the good things that storm of fans can bring the community. On the Klazart side of things there are quite a few mindless fanboys that would literally jump off a cliff if Klazart told them to. Then there are the intelligent fans of Klazart, some of which actualy *gasp* read the book and even understand the community of authonomy aswell. On the same train some trolls joined there too, trying to get some laughter out of it. Here on teamliquid we now have a discussion about commentators again. iNc for example just said that he does not like Klazarts voice (and insight?) and some Klazart fans got butthurt. On the other side we have bandwagon hate on Klaz aswell, which then results in 22 pages in like 30 hours. However, for me, the most interesting take on the situation is the following: On March 23 2009 00:09 MasterOfChaos wrote: Their codes should improve their rating function. The simplest solution to do that is include the duration of membership in the value of the rating. Remember when TL tried to upvote on digg? It failes among other reasons because digg's rating function is better. Exactly my first thoughts. | ||

That can be taught later except for when those people take your word as gospel and dont progress beyond it and become eternal newbies who are convinced that they know what theyre talking about. | ||

I thought maybe it was time for someone who's been on authonomy to come across to you and let you know that not everyone on authonomy is slagging off newcomers. What I would encourage you to do, if you have the time, is to look at other books that are on there, too, because I think you might enjoy them. I realise I am opening myself up to flaming here, but I hate artificial boundaries, and I severely dislike conflict at any level, because conflict causes wars, and wars are unnecessary. Regardless of the merits (or not) of Klazart's book (and I haven't read it yet, because it's way down my queue for reading), come on over, engage in meaningful dialogue with the majority of the "established" users who welcome new blood (I think your site's etiquette reflects general standards of behaviour anywhere on fora). May your gods protect you. Peace, Richard P-S | ||

 . In seriousness, congratulations on your written works so far, best of luck and all that, but I've never been a big fan of transparent plugs. There are too many classics out there that I still haven't read. | ||

Most book comments end with plugging their own book. Basically racps is just posting here like he would on authonomy, so we shouldn't get riled up about it.

He has an interesting story with interesting characters, but the manuscript needs some editing. Also some of his narrative passages are over written. These types of lapses are easily corrected once pointed out. If you have a book in the works, Authonomy is an excellent place to workshop it. You can get some fine feedback from a huge range of readers. | ||
