Ebb And Flow Of The Forums Is Different.

I feel like the introduction of Carking into the forums changed the Forums from a legitimate place of assistance and help to a spam liking garbage post fest. This is not meant to offend anyone, but full offence to all of those who participate in this, i used to like this place, and it was moderated quite well, now its so absolutely trash that the mods cant bother to even attempt to try to moderate it anymore. This place also used to be a safe space for anyone of any rank, but now, apparently, rank = how smart and powerful you are, which is utter bullshit. I'm not blaming Bytro for anything, i'm blaming the horrible users who turned this into a straight up land-fill of burning plastic, not only are half the posts just spammed for likes, 9/10 of them aren't even relevant to anything to do to with CoW anymore. "Its not that bad, It can't be!" If you were around back in the younger Forum days, you know very well what i mean. I am leaving the forum, besides to check my wall and write some HELPFUL stuff every so often, i will not interact with shit-posting and like spamming anymore, do not flood my wall with garbage either, please, as i would like to read stuff that matters, in any sense of being. Do not take this post out of context and say that i hate the new gen of Forum (Carking joining+), trust me i do, they suck, and think everything is based around rank and how many likes you have (Some aren't like this, lots of love to those people :thumbup: ), which is WHY i dislike them. But this isn't about me entirely, its about the Ebb and Flow of the Forum, lets look into some examples. The 4 RP posts with like 200 pages each. shit-posting like-fest. Go back a few years and those conversations were 50 Pages max and contained everything that all 4 of these ones did. A real dedicated RP conversation that didn't turn into shit-posting and garbage conversations. Now, i know y'all are gonna hate me in the comments, and that's fine, doesn't affect me. Lets look at perhaps another example... Now this one is absolutely horrible, mo lord. The election posts. Not only were the previous ones actually fruitful and contain legitimate info that i think is quite fine, and its good content, the new one was literally just an argument about the word French. That's it. Most mind-numbing post I've ever read, some people did good, and that's really good, they're getting somewhere, kudos to them for knowing the difference between garbage and quality content, and not arguing about the word French... French, is there something wrong with the French? Is this some kinda Racist thing? Not sure, but it kinda pisses me off how people censor a word that describes a group of people who are very real and very much alive, and not all are bad. "It's just a joke!" Don't joke about censoring a population of people. That shit is NOT funny, only bad people and racist's find that stuff funny.Now i don't go around saying Ame***ans like they're a filthy disease we shouldn't mention. Now, if you are all still with me and not yelling in chat for me to leave faster or threatening me, lets look at some Play-through posts, ah yes, this, THIS IS QUALITY, South Africa Play-through's, Aussie Play-through's, Mexico Play-through's, All good stuff, good job guys....Until a while after Carking and his gang joined and messed them up, turning them into 60 page conversations and flooding them with garbage. Still with me? Great! Lets go over WHY i'm making this post shall we?

Lets see.... Aha, yes, this morning someone instantly assumed that i was in a bad mood because i didn't get a spot in some silly HWW game 3 weeks ago that ended up turning into, what I've heard to be, kinda bad and not worth the gold. I won't name names, as that is not the point, the only person who should receive lash from this post is me, and i very well expect it. Not sure what to talk about now, but lets see what else i can pull from the land-fill, nope, not much else, I think I'm about done here, hanging up my hat and handing my salutations to those who deserve it, i might add more later if i feel like it, and i probably will, this is not about me entirely, no, its to show people how much has actually changed. And it saddens me to see this happen, but as a good man once said; "Change is Inevitable, bound by time itself to happen, so instead of trying to revert it, we should instead hope for the best, and expect the worst." - [REDACTED]

I knew the Forum would eventually change, but for the worst, I did not think it would be so. I'll gladly chat with anyone who would like to discuss anything, but my entire argument rests here, forevermore, and to the end. (Oh btw Carking i know you'll find this, you have responded to threads that are legitimately 3+ years old, you're bound to see this eventually, if it be in 5 minutes or 5 years, this isn't entirely on you, you could have changed what you chose to influenced and instead turned this place into a thriving, nice community with the activity you brought with you.)

You may still find me in the CoW Game chat, you may also send me CoW mail or DM me from the chat, i will respond within 3-5 business days.

it is funny cuz they are all in the same alliance lead by Fox-Company (former Iron Monkey member)

but he is pretty spot on about the subject, i have said a lot of that quietly over the past few months.

haha CarKing you cant say i didnt worn you <3

I agree with fox, I'm also sick of these super long shitty conversations.... personally targetting anyone is bad and I don't think fox targetted anyone in his post, well made post and he was super respectful. This is the truth. I love how this post was only liked once before I liked this, truly an awful state of forums...

Dear Fox-Company,In previous posts you have asserted that you have a life and that is why you have not been so active.

However, this is clearly not true as you just wrote an essay on the website which you have been "leaving" for the past three weeks and one particular user.

Now, I'm no Doctor, but it appears that you are suffering serious symptoms of "Skill Issue". Please go to the hospital immediately, as this is a very serious condition and you have it very badly.

Fuck you,

Talvisota (on behalf of the whole forum)

Please, edit your post. You are not speaking on behalf of the entire forums, truth is painful, I know that... however it doesn't mean that you should expose your anger in front of everyone.

I don't think he was 'disrespectful' towards Carking, though I agree that blaming a single person is not the best thing to do. He did not name a lot of other peoples who deserved to be named here, thank him for that.

From my experience, a majority of players who played the game from 2018-20 were older (40+) ppl, and now it seems theres a lot more teenagers and younger players now

From what the forums seemed like back then, I could agree.

Well you were the one who brought me to the forums. I joined because of you, and only then brought β€œmy gang” or whatever the hell here. I do dislike the femboy argument BS which constantly takes place, that does annoy me, and it is my fault, however that doesn’t mean the entire forums are ruined. Don’t like a thread? Remove it from your watch list and ignore it, you literally do not have to pay attention to those. Most of this stuff is harmless and can easily be ignored, plenty of good threads where actual game stuff is spoken about still exist.

I will say I want more playthroughs again, as I used to read the ones that would be made (even if i didn’t reply to them) and there maybe hasn’t been enough game stuff recently, but that is not a persons fault, they will be made again. As for Genzing, although I do feel bad for people who get too many notifications, all you have to do is clear them and move on, ask people not to like spam you and they usually listen. I have not really seen any people boasting about ranks making them better however, it kinda seems made up to me. Overall though nothing is ruined, this not some toxic trash fest where only stupid shit goes on, most people around here are not terrible at all.

It’s rather disrespectful to say all the new people including me suck and assume we think rank matters, I don’t know where you go that from. Honestly a lot what you’re saying really comes off as mean spirited… I’ve known you for ages man, we literally are in the same alliance and you where the one who got me on the forums! Some of what you say does have substance, but a lot of it is kinda untrue and does come off as insulting, even if you weren’t trying to. Uncool.

Expected, kinda knew you'd say this kind of stuff, but the problem is you weren't around back in our time, which, compared to this, is absolute and utter garbage, ask anyone who knows what i would mean, and by your 'gang' i mean the people who always show up if you comment on something, which is all the time, they never cease to be there.

Alright bro, oh well. Great for me, I am very cool and the best at ruining things. This is how it is now, a dark cloud floats over this community as it fall into my hands!


CarKing the 6th of the Abrahamic Caliphate

X/ what? NO! :nothatway:

outa your hands, and into another's

your "gang" will not terrorize these forums any longer buddy boy!

get em Fox!!

He said he’s leaving the forums apparently, so I guess he’s getting no one. You never even spoke to me for ages and now you hate me and all the alliance members you knew? I don’t even know.

I am going to agree with this, I agree. I think I know what you're meaning and I much preferred lurking around the smaller, more on-topic, more professional, and more of a Call of War forum forum even though I am one of the newer members. I don't much like the current climate.

However I don't think it's exactly CarKing's fault at the centre. I think that can't explain why the forums got so hugely popular. Perhaps 2.0 is partly to blame since the forums got many people joining shortly after.

The feeling is mutual!

Honestly 90% of the people here are completely chill and I like them all. I have basically no qualms with any of the forums members (other then maybe fox after this) right now, why would I? No one here sucks, at least now that Arta and Comrade Genz are gone. None of the other old forum people like Claudio, Karl or Donk seem to despise the current state of the forums even if it does have its issues, so I reallly don’t see his problem here. The forums are fine, everything will be fine. This place has not been ruined into a toxic hellhole. The thing that makes me the saddest is that fox suddenly hates me for like no reason out of nowhere, we are in the same alliance and yet he never took me aside and ever tried to interfere with this huge issue he seems to see. You brought me here man! I should really stop ranting lol.
