Klumpen0815 has left. He gave this explanation:

Reasons:
- most of the great ones have already left (some recently without many people noticing)
-> I'm available via eMail for those
- the infamous Erdogan thread
- the troll friendly rep system/exploits which won't ever get fixed as it seems
- the atmosphere is rather lacking manners and good will too often (moderation wouldn't help much though)
- scammers everywhere
- I really miss the old PM system and am still annoyed by old conversations there being lost forever as it seems
- no more classic Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale without the remakes
- regional pricing everywhere, now also for Don't Starve (at least the addon and the complete set)
-> the massive Russian discount being the most absurd thing about all this and still no honest reasoning for it
- Linux gamers still treated as third class (Linux ports of many games still only available elsewhere, no new DosBox and WINE packages anymore as it seems)
- head and hands full with my two jobs and my increasing musical activities
- don't have enough free time for boards and gaming anymore, so one has to go - easy pick

As always I'm still open to help people out with anything I can but I won't look into threads anymore and unfortunately I don't know if there's a way to get an eMail notification for getting a new chat message so I may only notice when updating my backups.

I know that some people here see me as their enemy but I don't do this with anyone.
We all have our personal problems and a lack of tolerance and patience with something which always gives us the chance to improve.

Peace
With the above being one of the regulars reasons for leaving, I think it would make sense to ponder a bit about it. However, doing so in his farewell thread itself would be poor taste. So here’s a clean new thread where we can debate this stuff.

I've been spamming so much recently me making a thread about it might get the opposite reaction...

Fuck my mind went blank. I hate it when my humour can't carry my reasoning. :/

It's always sad when a friend leaves.

The people who left did?
People who liked them did?
Seems obvious.

This is a forum for video games, who gives a shit about wannabe "forum celebrities" and what they think.

10x "You just lose interest."

I've never been a big fan of all those misty eyes farewell threads, on any forums. I think it is quite normal people come and go, why try to make it so dramatic?

I've left many forums where I was a regular before for years, mainly because it stopped being fun for some reason. I just started visiting the site less and that's it, at some point I'd even forget it existed. Quite often I found some more interesting site to visit, or something happened in my life, or whatever. Meh.

EDIT: I guess I consider other forum dwellers not so much as my real life friends who I'd genuinely miss or something. Some of you are fun, some are not, some are nicer to other people, some less etc. I don't even expect anyone else to really shed a tear if they realized I am not visiting the forum anymore, I'd feel odd if someone did. I'm sure there are lots of people here already who fill my role in the forum even better than me, whatever that might be.

In the grand scheme of things, it's not up up to us to give the forum a direction, that's the (paid) work of Judas and Konrad to manage the community. Otherwise, in 1-2 years we can expect to reach Steam community level.......

Try reading what I just said again, there's your answer. :P
You might not care, that doesn't mean nobody else does/should.
