What happened to this forum?

Hopefully when these guys are done hosing each other down with virtual testosterone, the old modders forum will return.

The one where it was actually a forum, a community, and not a continual pissing contest. Go out in the hall, unzip your flys and get it over with. Whoever has the longest mod wins.

For all you've done, you've also done just as much damage splitting the camps and making everything a petty little secret. Give it some thought. The sharing of ideas has been stifled by this BS long enough.

After SH4 are you going down the same path? There will only be 2 mods and a boatload of secrets that the "community" can't/won't share because of two bruised egos?

Children in my house get punished for acting like this.

Patronising post, IMHO. Caveat lector.

I prefer the current competitive situation (which is a result of idividual behaviors) than a loose community of modders with no integration and with endless compatibility problems; a recipy of low productivity.

The result for the end player and the sales of the game itself (which ensures the continuity - next versions, games -) is IMHO better.

The collateral damage to this situation is some excellent individual modders that their end product does not make it in the big modpacks on time, or their ideas / development are not brainstormed / refined enough.
