Part of me just thinks the damage is done... implementing the CCC was the first step toward overpolicing and compartmentalisation. That, is an attitude shared by some of those remaining here which is a bit lowkey autistic, that thinks because the forum has "fan games" in the name that the purpose of discussion and gathering has to be fan games. Which fundamentally misunderstands how people talk and bond over a shared interest-- they don't all need to be creators as a prerequisite of being here. That kind of thinking led to the split where yeah... community harakiri, literally cutting out the community aspect like a foetus from its mother's womb and being surprised by it... not breathing and becoming necrotic... anyway yeah gross metaphor but this is pretty much my diagnosis. PPP should have made a comeback in early 08 after a 6 month hiatus or so & there were so many members you could have got some decent mods pretty easily
