Well it happened. It was put in motion weeks ago but now I have reached the point that I no longer have any interest in the Battlefront Flames of War forum. There is no longer a reason for me to post anything on the forum. The only thing I do is to see if there is anything useful or important to read. And the answer is simple; no. Sometimes I want to give an answer to a post but then when I am halfway typing I can only think, Who cares. Why the fuck should I bother. And I stop typing and don't post anything.
What once was one happy family no longer is. Lately, no for weeks or even months, the forums are filled with moaners and whiners. Also very common is how rude some people are when they post something on the forums. Towards other forum members and even to the Battlefront staff.
When I started with FoW 4 years ago and became a member of the forum things where much more easy going. I am not saying that there happened nothing at all but things were more relaxed.
At that time when I asked a question about the rules there was always a veteran player around to give a good decent answer and the problem was solved. Nowadays people ask a question and they want an official answer from Phil. An answer from an veteran or other player no longer seems good enough. This is for both Noob and veteran players. This is an other reason to think why bother answering if only answers from Phil are good enough.
For me the Battlefront Flames of War forum is no longer a great place to be. The only thing I'll do is read some threads that look interesting to me and for the rest: why bother.
I still love the game but not the forum.
Thanks for reading.
