Yes there was more to it. Mikey C (and the few others) had a campaign going some weeks in advance to rally negative feelings about problems that in fact never even existed. It was done through polls and regular threads.
I'll have to disagree there. I've mentioned before that even I had become annoyed with AW threads. Would I be including in the in the group imagining what never existed?
I read many of those recent treads and participated in some. Sure there was the usual disagreement and camp sentiment, but to say it was a new planned campain is your own speculation. There had been talk of an alternate portal long before this. There have been public postings in threads on the topic and probably many PM's on the subject. I was included in some PM's, but I wasn't aware a site had been planned and built. Some folks just finally got worked up enough to finally jump ship. The rest seems to be just conspiracy theory for me.
I mean, is there a single thread over at that site that has not been moderated?
Yup, I've been modded. First time ever I think. The difference is they are not leaving the modded posts on the thread. My post and others were totally deleted as off-topic. So visitors can't see the modded post if they no longer exist. Can't say I agree with that, but it's their house, so when I visit it's their rules.
handful of hateful people that wants to "punish" and "strike back"
True in any group, town, city, state, country, planet. Don't act suprised.
And I think it's ironic that AW.net has become really peaceful
The people you parry with most are frequenting some where else and the quietness is ironic?
Clear fact is there are those on both sides who will not agree, continue to argue, and are probably best left with a buffer between them. I also wish others slinging insults and exagerations both directions would give it a rest. Fat chance.
