Unread post Micrblaster.net is closing it's doors.
Due to recent attitudes of a few players, I am shutting down both of my game servers. The website will remain up, so you will still know where to play.

I would hope for you to reconsider, we certainly cannot sustain further losses due to the continued jackassery of others.

Your closing will leave a huge hole in our community, I hope you reconsider but I also understand your frustration.

This is just a game, yet there still remain a few bad apples, bullies if you will who insist that they can do whatever they want.

i feel your pain, Micro.

even though i was not a sysop for very long, i found that others don't follow the rules that are meant to make the game enjoyable for everyone. except the rule breakers. that if they cannot play they will make it as unenjoyable for those who want to play for the fun of it or are trying to follow the rules that are in place instead.

i have in fact given up like you have. except if you have goals, you should first try to achieve those goals then base your server around those goals. my goals where to host a server that people who don't play that often could play just to see what the game is all about.

what were your goals when hosting your server? did you achieve those goals. are you going to cut down the entire tree just because of a few bad apples? if so why? did you plant oranges and got lemons instead?

there will always be rule benders. and even rule breakers. because they feel they can, they will. remember if you stick to your guns.

"at first they will ignore you.
then they will laugh at you.
then they will fight you.
then you will win."

Sorry to hear that, while I havn't played in years I hate that ppl still are ruining this game for others with their piss poor attitudes. It's to bad JP doesn't have more time Botlink would serve as a way to enforce the rules and make sysop life significantly easier.

You've already banned me from your server, and I am pretty sure that tournament is the only time I ever played there anyway. So there is zero chance of me playing there again. You're taking your marbles and going home to make a point? And I am the one acting like a "child"?

You're far from the only "child" here, so it is more of a preventative, sanity-saving measure.
If the only people left playing this game are uncouth, uneducated, and unprincipled, then what is the point of giving them a place to play?

Says the forum moderator who calls people names before shutting down threads. A model of good behavior for us all.

My threads, my rules.
If you don't like it, go somewhere else.
