The fighting must come to an end. I'm an OT myself, so I can sympathize with my
fellow Neo brethren. We don't feel appreciated and we're never 'thanked' for our
contributions to the community. Some of us have contributed more than others, but
that isn't the point here..... the people from ON.com are having a difficult time
adjusting to us and it shows. I can't speak for everyone on this board, but some of
our older members haven't been exactly behaving either.
The OT on this board (myself included) were not informed of the merger and it took
us completely by surprise. Worse yet, the newcomers (based on the threads I read)
were given Moderator status, etc., and have been given the royal treatment. Problem
is, the people who made this board a success were never treated with respect, and
that is where all the aggression is coming from. The newcomers are treated like
royalty while the old timers are tossed out into the cold and expected to stay silent
while the merger takes place. Hey, this is Shawn's board, but the people who post
here are the ones who made the board successful, not Shawn. Without the traffic
from users like us, NG.com would just be another dead space on the Internet. So,
ON members: realize that there is more going on here than what meets the eyes.
Your arrival isn't the problem here, so remember this the next time you read a nasty
post by one of us old timers. Just try to fathom our predicament: if the shoe was on
the other foot and we had to migrate to your server, would you take kindly to
GunSmith treating us like gold while forgetting you? I think not....
