When and if you have the time, give it a read or at least glance, particularly the last parts. It is still good, even after 4 years, in what it is trying to share with us. Also, even if he did get the part "were won't be around for long" wrong it is still a great post. In fact, getting it wrong but keeping the message real, was the beauty in it. http://forum.samods.org/index.php?topic=8036.0 | ||

Some of us will be on our deathbed, living in our own filth, our lives flashing before our eyes. With our final breath we will utter "Gantrithor" as a little plastic model Carrier slips from our fingers and bounces on the carpet. At that moment the realisation will come to us: Despite all the wars, the squabbles, the disappointment, the bitching, and the depression, the failed promises, the missed deadlines, the shoddy patches, and the complete utter bastards vying for our constant attention, it could have been worse. maybe just a little melo-dramatic? Reminds me of Citizen Kane | ||

It's the same with us, we must seek to avoid becoming "small communities"." We have many of our gods here. I could not name them all, but FA and FireBlast! are great examples. <3 u all Sc Fans. <3 u Tl.netters. "We've all learned something from the community, I for one have learned a lot. I have gained skills and experience that would put me on a path in life that might make me a very rich man and all I lost was the time by me maintaining contact with all of you almost daily for the last year. I owe a lot to this community, a debt I could never pay back, and I am not the only one." I truly second that. Text was art, thank you very much for giving some new school player to read that, Physician. | ||

Communities do not exist to serve the needs of the few, they exist to serve the needs of the entirety; every man, woman and child who is a part of it. The funny thing is that it doesn't matter if a community is big or small but the fact that it exists. If tomorrow the community was reduced to five people and a duck, I would still continue to work in the community in order to maintain it, even if the duck can't use a keyboard... Only when a community has zero followers will it disappear, so just as long as there are a few of us still actively working, willing to recruit fresh blood and above all have more fun than an elephant in a peanut field then we would still succeed. | ||

#tKd_ - nah he is still a moderator in http://www.samods.org, awsome site, alsways good content going almost 8 years strong. # Locked -yah, he beats about the bush for a while but the title says it all, the complete version has more funny parts. The community can go on for a good few months, maybe even a year or so if we're lucky, and even when we do slip into the darkness retro-value will come along to change the light bulb. StarCraft was a highly successful game, and the fact is that most highly successful games will enjoy a period of second-chance after it's initial demise. We haven't had that period yet, so we shouldn't burn our bridges just yet. .. even when he is saying back then, that its dying, he refuses to accept it as soon as he says it: classic fan sign, classic post. | ||
