Goodbye everyone. I'm sorry to tell you, but -.- I'm leaving :( . There's been some changes in my life. Some new realizations, and some delusions fading away. Things have finally become clear to me. These new discoveries changed everything, and you probably won't be able to reverse their effect on me, like you all did last time. Out of personal reasons, I don't want to reveal whatever happened. Just remember this much: change isn't always a bad thing ;) . For every door that closes in life, thousands more open up.
Before I leave, I'd like to give this community some advice:
I just don't see any point in being involved in a closed minded business. Closed-mindedness is what killed SRL, IMHO.
Someone once said that the collective intelligence of a crowd decreases with size. I firmly believe that this statement applies to these forums. At the beginning, SRL was extremely successful, because it had a small number of people that were concerned with getting it to work. After that came the leechers. And then the elitists and senior members became lazy and closedminded and killed their creation.
Criticism is only good if it is constructive, so don't start posting thing's like I'm a f*cking a**hole. I understand that some of what I've said is very direct and I didn't sugarcoat anything. Take that into account when replying.
Special thanks to:
Boreas - Amazing scripter an always happy to help!
Justkidding - always had a good time with him!
WT-Fakawi - For creating SRL!
Here (left the forums) - always up for discussion and open-minded! ;)
YoHoJo - Keep copybustin' 'em leechers!!!
Jason2Gs - one of the most intelligent persons on the forum!
I had a really nice time with all of you! I may still be looking around on the forum, but I probably won't post anymore. :D.
Before I leave, I'd like to give this community some advice:
- Open up. Not to all those leechers, but to all those that did some sort of intelligent work but weren't accepted because of their refusal to conform to the status quo you set up. Some scripter's here produce damn good scripts, and never get any recognition. How is a community supposed to survive without motivation?
- This community will fade away if you don't work at educating people. The first thing the community should focus on is developing a kickass tutorial on SCAR, and SRL. Information is your only weapon at defeating the ever annoying leechers. Scripts come second.
- Accept some change. Without change, this community will stay backwards as it already is. KYAB and iBot work, so use them! I can understand that some people like the nostalgia of purely using SCAR. But in the longrun, being afraid of using new technology will put you behind.
