There are so many places to go on the net where people can look at or discuss 18+ stuff ... why does it have to be included here? It is so easy to throw up a site or forum these days ... if people want to be vulgar and swear constantly, why not just put up their own site instead of requesting to lower the standards here?

You go to school, you adapt to the school way of things; you go to the pub, you adapt to the pub way; you go home to mama, you adapt to mama's way of doing things. You come to the Org ... .

As it stands, my interest in this site hangs by a thread (thrilling news to some, yes? Well ... bite this!). The sense of friendship, knowledge share, and focus on fun and growth in TW games has diminished significantly since I first came to this site. Now we have so many more little cliques, staff spend more time policing and scolding and rule-making than they do welcoming and sharing, helping and encouraging, and the most regular dialog seems to take place outside of the TW subject matter, often contentious and of little value.

Frankly, I think this site's scope has broadened enough; further diversification in content will shift this site's audience away from TW games towards more ... what? I think the current focus and standard of "decency" (for the lack of a better term) should be maintained. I think many patrons and staff would do well to balance online activities with enriching activities offline. Being gone for a couple of months and diving back into life now has me wondering why in the hell I spent so much time and took things so seriously here in the past, and why many here seem to do the same.

My Yen's worth.
