I really don't know...
I've been watching this thread since it came out and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this change (although I haven't been able to actually get in game due to front server connection problems. But, that's besides the point).
Do I really like the change? No, not really. But, speaking from a personal perspective, I have never dealt with change well.
However, I've been seeing a lot of people bashing the Mods and blaming this person and that person. That's not the way to go and that won't bring General back. They do their jobs; they're Mods for a reason. And no, I'm not trying to cozy on up to the Staff members by saying that either. If they weren't doing what they're supposed to, there would be a lot more... Things going on and such that shouldn't be. You have to trust them, they are running this game for a reason. And I would think it's because they know what they're doing, even if it might appear that they don't from time to time.
At first, I was pretty upset with the change. But, I think I was more disappointed with the fact that it happened seemingly overnight without warning. I'm pretty sure that if there would have been some word about it, a warning -anything really- I would have been much more okay with it in the beginning.
With General gone, it will make advertising more difficult, however there are ways to do it. Movie spam will increase, no doubt. I've seen it a few times. But, it seems as though they are making due with what they have. And that's what I'm going to have to do. I will miss General, I really will. I've had my fair share of pleasant (and not so pleasant) conversations while hanging around on it.
But, things change. As a kitten always becomes a cat, and a puppy always becomes a dog, change is an inevitable part of life. You either need to accept it, or refuse. Live with it, or don't. There is really no grey area in this matter. Complaining and bashing, blaming others and arguing... It isn't the way to bring General back. I think what we need to do is pretty much what Raz stated. Sit back and see what happens. I'm sure that if the people like the Mods and Red see that it truly isn't working the way they wanted it to, they will change it back. There isn't much else to do. I'm going to have to go through it too. Perhaps it will better the game, perhaps it won't. We'll all just have to see.
