Inspired by recent DerVVulfman's actions, I've also decided to leave. Maybe for a short time, maybe for a long time. When I joined RMXP.org, I thought, maybe this is the place where I could improve my game making and scripting skills. I joined in November 2007. I kept browsing the forums for like a month or so. I didn't improve a bit. Then I decided. I downloaded as many scripts and games as I can. I started learning how to work in RGSS and RPG Maker XP by myself. This site hasn't helped me at all. All those resources could be found on other sites. The only reason I registered was because my good friend Milky aka kikzmyster did it too. I can see now that he hasn't logged in for more than half a year. Maybe he realized the same things as I did.

And a few words of advice for new members and wannabe scripters:
-Don't request a script as soon as you think of one! Instead try making it! Maybe you'll not succeed, but your scripting skills will improve a little bit. If you do this often, you'll improve a lot.

-Study how basic things work first! You can't start working on an ABS script with absolutely no idea how ABS works.

-Read other people's work! Study how they did something that you're having trouble with.

-Don't throw away any of your ideas. Nothing is difficult if you know how to do it. And even if you don't know how to do it, try.

And a message to RMXP.org staff: You're not bad people. You just give a bad example. You ask people to be polite, while you are not. Of course, this doesn't apply for all staff members (SephirothSpawn and khmp, you two have been my heroes since the day I joined RMXP.org. Keep making good scripts and god bless you.)
Best wishes to you all, Haki!
 
The way the staff is handling these is beginning to bother me.  They're basically making fun of people who are obviously hurt or disappointed.  These are not NFG topics, so please, follow your own rules.  Good luck, Haki.
 
who are you

You weren't around a few months ago Guardian. This stuff is old news -- VERY OLD NEWS actually. When the "first wave" of people left we took it more seriously. At this point it seems like it's just a few stragglers left. It's hard to take it seriously at all.
 
If you can't take it seriously, you really shouldn't post.  By mocking them, you're sort of proving their points, which in turn makes others want to leave.  It's not a pleasant cycle.  I know you're all cool people, but mocking someone doesn't help the situation.

Maybe they're not wanted, chief.  :cheers:

Seriously, though, are you expecting people to beg them to stay if they don't want to?
 
I'm not saying beg them to stay, but at least say "Bye, thanks for coming!" not "Who the hell are you?"  Even if they're not wanted, their farewell post should be respected, not ridiculed.

depends on who it is, really, and the kind of farewell post they make. if a total nobody like haki is leaving solely because derwulfman is leaving then it deserves to be ridiculed.

What's there to respect? Personally, I'm sick and tired of this whole deal, and the people who have been suckered into thinking that this forum is a stagnant pit and that everywhere else is a land of milk and honey.

Well, bye, Haki. I'm sorry that you feel that way about these forums. I don't think your views about .ORG are fair, correct, or even the result of a great deal of thought, but hey, if you gotta go, you gotta go.

Personally, I think you made the wrong decision. DerVVulf belongs to a small group of individuals dedicated to bringing .ORG's current administration down by spreading propaganda, flooding the servers, hacking, et cetera ad infinitum. They present an incredibly biased interpretation of events, and ignore the good aspects of the forum. Every forum has its corpses in the walls, but taking it from them you'd think we're the only place with even minor issues.

Well, bye. Have fun on that bandwagon.

Well with things the way they are this forum could slowly but painfully fall apart.

People have been saying that about once every 3 months whenever someone decides to leave and cite fabricated or non-issue reasons as to why the forum is a bad place. Guess what? It hasn't fallen apart yet, nor has it even started to. You won't be the first or the last to say something foolish like that.
 
Things the way they are? RMXp.org's getting more views, 1.5k new members a month, and well... just look at the intros and farewell board, the number of leavers is heavily outnumbered by the number of new guys.
 
enough drama. the bandwagon shit ended nearly a year ago so really just drop it all. if you want to leave, get the fuck out and if you want to stay then just shut up already.
