The community died when the assholes started getting in the clan
Ah how it makes me laugh when the older generation of the *current* EgN do the "Things were better back 2 years ago! No one free-killed and everyone liked everyone and it was sunshine and candy every day!" Sad part is that the people who were where J-Dawg is now said the same thing then of most of the *now* Veterans. And 2 years ago we had no servers and no donations or a decent forums, just the small core of loyal people rebuilding after a split(RB formed), but at no point did this community die. The thing that changes is the people and the perspectives, the same people who thought J-Dawg was unstable and left would laugh their asses off seeing him type that crap. Everyone who's left while point to all the problems 3 years ago would be rolling in their graves if they were dead, they had their own reasons on why EgN/420Mafia/TU would fail. They thought the same shit as some of you do now, but they were wrong and naive.
Most of you who make these passive-aggressive statements about whats wrong with the clan now are just Naive to how communities and generations work. Why do you think your Grandmother or Grandfather hate your music and the different media(movies and TV and celebrity) you like as the reason why your generation is fucked? Because in their perspective and their life they had the same shit said of them by their Grandparents! Every generation condemns the next ones. And that is the reason why so many of the past members splinter away and form their own clan or go else where, but you can't escape it! Everyone was a child once, everyone was young and everyone makes mistakes. No one is faultless, that's the first rule of being the one in charge. Admitting that you can't make the right call but that you can expand your perspective with the help of others is the important part.
Why do we oppose Age-discrimination? Because the person who hates on someone for their age is a hypocrite, we were all kids and all young sounding once. Why do we allow just anyone to apply for EgN? Because at some point everyone was a annoying admin or a annoying brat kid. Instead of just sitting back and complaining about those you don't like, why don't you try to understand them and understand the reasons why they are the way they are?
Why does everyone expect Me or Doldol or the Advisors to share their perspective? We are each our own person and we each have our own perspectives on a situation or a member. Why do you think we allow for votes? Because we KNOW you all don't feel the same way about the same things! Being pissed because I don't share you perspective is just being in-tolerant of my perspective and my opinion! And if you don't care about my perspective and opinion then why should I care of you'res?
So that's Post #1! Next one is incoming......
From up here and the one guy who hasn't changed all that much since 6 years ago, nothing has changed one bit. We've got the same issues as before but now we've got more people to deal with, more people always means more problems.
