No it won't because this actually did happen. At one point activity here was very low but nothing changed.

Eventually Houdiniman convinced unixmad to open up the forums for classic posters again (thanks Houdiniman).

I'm well aware of that, I was here for it.

The doesn't change the fact it's about time for the people with brains to move on from this hellhole of flamboyantly annoying moderators.

Oh, come on, that is the entire point. I paid good money to do my serious posting on SA, but you cannot really beat the hilarious forum drama here.

Isn't the "bad financial decisions" thread in the Era subforums?

I am taking all bets that my SA account was a better investment than your Graal account.

Because valid discussions don't just stop on a person's whim, except the OP's of course .

You seem to like expressing your rebellious attitude in every post you make and it's quite annoying,

Well, the problem is, some people actual like Graal and would rather try to see it changed for the better (in their opinion), rather than leaving.

I guess that boss doesn't care all that much about keeping customers.

I thought it was said that our opinions deserve consideration, not everything.

Here, most of us (at least, the ones that are complaining) made a one-time payment, and can't pull that trick. So, common sense says that if we want something, we ought to act cordial towards the hand that might give it to us. Unfortunately for those of you that think this game is horribly screwed up, acting cordial might not even be enough.

I'm pretty sure many were cordial in the past but stopped bothering once it became apparently that nothing would come of it.

Actually it does, in my humble opinion.

Hmm if they like Graal they can play it without posting on the forum. If they don't like the way we run the forums they don't need to use it. The game is playable without using the forum. That's what I meant.

Do you think someone is leaving Graal because he/she don't like Unixmad's forum rules? o_o

Pretty sure it was Darlene who convinced unixmad to open up the forums for non-Gold.

Are you suggesting that us paying customers should take our business elsewhere?

No.

Even if I was (which I am not), you guys would never do it. Look at all those times it's been threatened to happen...

You're still not understanding to point of an analogy. I could make the same analogy using parents and chores, politics, or deer hunting, it would still mean the same thing: don't bite the hand that feeds, and you might actually get some food.

Are you suggesting that people do not quit Graal?

That'd be a favorable situation, yes. I have a feeling of you're going to say next, too.
