Let's all calm down and look at this from a different perspective, everyone is entitled to their opinion. You see, having an opinion obviously would result in having it insulted by other opinions. You honestly can't expect everything to be so precious and perfect when you post your opinion, so here I go posting mine...
1. I don't think getting rid of General Chat will solve any of our problems... It was the only way to advertise for roleplays, and using 'Movies' doesn't help with anything.
2. The Community would obviously had reacted badly to this as you can see, all of you. The thing we must do? I am afraid there is nothing to do. People have opinions... they are entitled to them. Yes, the communities opinion DOES matter, it always has...
3. It was quite crude in a sense, though I don't want any offense on this post, that Red call iMello a brat... people always have reasons for posting what they think.
4. In the end, I have to conclude I am dissapointed with both sides of this argument. You are screaming at eachother like children, instead of calmly assessing the situation. To the staff, your not abusing your power, but you are going a bit overboard with reaction here. If you posted something like this, and acted as you would have, you must expect some people to be a bit furious. General was a fun chat, and made the maps feel alive. To the members, you too are at fault. Overreacting to this, and slashing at eachothers throats like your in some arena fight...
So please, calm down... I agree with iMello, I think General should not have been taken down... so please consider this.
Cheerio. ~Sips a glass of wine.
