I would have made a thread like this, but I was afraid you would say I haven't been here long enough to notice. However, I can safely say I've been here long enough to observe a disturbingly sharp decline in the community's stability as a whole.
I think it started sometime along the rise of sdssn!p3r's version of the LSF, or during the hunt for an infamous speed modder, when the community started to exhibit a highly elitist and paranoid comportment. A recent development, the unfortunate arrival of DIC, only worsened the condition.
No, I'm not saying we should let serial rule-breakers get away with everything, but the paranoia and hostility caused by these events only sped up the degeneration of the community. No, I am not blaming the LSF for this. They arrived at the wrong time. I am blaming all of us.
