Heh, you guys are getting too caught up in the moment.
"lots and lots of members left GT this weekend"
"Why is everybody leaving?"
"everbody" isn't leaving... "lots and lots of members" didn't leave.
Eric left, EPetit left (He'll be back; you wait), and Shadow Fox is leaving. Three people. Maybe some other less-notables are in there too, but don't worry about them.
Let's take what Eric said to heart.
"We are (GameTavern). Every single one of us is. And nothing can take that away from us."
So a few people leave. Who cares. The members make up GameTavern, right? (Right Eric? You said it). So, if a few people leave, who really cares? Nobody should. Just as I (PureEvil) am not GameTavern, Eric isn't GameTavern, nor is EPetit, nor is Shadow Fox. Not a single person who has left GameTavern recently was important.
They aren't GameTavern. We are GameTavern.
Let them leave. Is anything going to change? No. As a matter of fact, things might get better. There won't be an EPetit around to bash people for no reason (Until he comes back, that is...). There won't be an Eric around to cry about the injustice of the whole thing. To cry about how PureEvil is such an a**hole (By the way, Eric... I was only doing that to you. I'm sure if you think really hard, you'll figure it out).
These people who left are better off gone. And GameTavern is better off with them gone. If they were so easily led astray for whatever reason, they weren't the kind of people you want to be talking with all the time anyway.
Don't worry about the quitters. Concentrate on those of us here who haven't left. We aren't bitching about everything little thing we can find. We aren't overly eager to take off.
As Eric said, "We are (GameTavern). Every single one of us is. And nothing can take that away from us."
Well put. Too bad he says that, and then buggers off to play around somewhere else (Makes you wonder, doesn't it?).
GameTavern may have lost a few of its members, but it kept even more. And the ones who stuck around (And who will continue to stick around, as I know many of you will) are the ones that matter.
The people who left? Bah. They're quitters. We didn't want them anyway.
(And remember, GameTavern is definately on the way up. Things have been going good lately. Don't be worried that GameTavern is sinking away or anything. The forums have been getting better, and the site has been getting better. We aren't hurting yet. Try to keep from letting the foolish [thatmariolover, EPetit, ect...] influence you too much).
