you have very strong points, and i do see why you would post this, but others dont feel the same way. what i have learned in my past experience is that, no matter what goes on, everybody is going to feel differently, you cant expect people to feel the same way you do, itll just never happen. some people will feel that this isnt the community they were first born into, it has changed, it hasnt become fun anymore and it is very disrespectful. those people are usually the old school, more mature members of this community and are used to the calm, relaxed state of what used to be the pure community. but there are the new school people who were brought into the pure community in the beginning of 2010 or the end of 2009. these people are used to the disrespect and are used to the intense rivalrys and the drama of the pure community. these people have been influenced and have been brought up in this manner. the pure community is just like any other community, it is easily influenced and it is easy to corrupt. all this disrespect and flame has been started by the old school members, most likely the leaders and the elders in these pure clans. when the leaders started to post flame topics and saying this and that is not true, it may have not seemed too harsh or too dramatic, but it has progressed over time and people have taken influence from that. the only thing that you can do to really stop this from continuing is to be more of a good influence to our younger and more newer members. when new people come in this community they dont know what to expect, they just go along with what everybody else is doing. these people are our new generation, many of the older members will eventually leave behind their legacys and their influence over the pure community to the newer members. its up to the older members to be good examples and to lead the younger ones in the right path. but untill that happens this is whats going to go down, it is going to continue because once again, everybody is different. i do agree with omni where he said that we should all enjoy our purity or whatever. i understand that there was once a time where all pure clans enjoyed eachothers common interest. i think we should all focus out flame towards the real noobs, THE DEEF KIDS, this would be interesting. they talk mad **** about us on rsc too. :o
