Take a look at your own posts...

Implying?

Not like I see any effort from you.

Doesn't matter if I'm putting any "effort" in or not; I am also put off from posting because of the depraved substance of every single thread. However, you will not see me constantly ****ting up the forums with annoying spam and the complaining about how bad things have turned out. That would make me a stupid hypocrite.

Hm, maybe I am a 'stupid hypocrite' in some eyes. It's more a matter of me speaking my mind, although I might get carried away at times making it appear as spam, it comes from a place of care for the game and community as opposed to trying to plague the forums with negativity and pessimism.

It does matter if you put any 'effort' in or not. It makes you look like a cynical, arrogant and critisizing (...) who stands behind the field lines in the crowd pointing at all the flaws of those who are in the field trying to make something for the better.

"There is a problem, I am not going to fix the problem but instead make it worse. I will then go on to call out people who are not trying to fix the problem." Lol okay. The best thing however is that you're implying I "plague the forums with negativity and pessimism." You really do need to go read your own posts.

Point proven. Nitpicking at my recent small posts pointing out either my short thoughts or jokes (whom the people I reply to know they are) backed with the right intention. It balances alright with the effort and intentions I put into helping out. As opposed to your less extreme long term critisism. Get off your high horse.

If no one puts in effort for posting, then how will there be substance for you to sample or delight in? If you are to desire a better conversation, it is your responsibility in that moment to make a possible turn for said topic to become one of enjoyment, am I wrong?

tl;dr version: My point whether it be vague or off course, is that it does matter.

Well that's good, because you don't contribute either towards a thread no matter where I've seen you post in regardless (Chances are I'm no different but I at least give some effort)

Yeah we see how that would be a bad thing.
(Just stating, no implications being made here)

@Galdor
Yeah, I've noticed the same exact problems myself buddy, I believe the problem is that when we had a common factor that brought us together, it made us feel like we communed more because of that same bind/bond, now that it has weakened, so has our sense of community, allowing us to drift or as you have it show in that toothpaste image, allowed for our tube to come up dry and empty, trying to brush our need of communication with the old gritty remains that are left on the void of the sink. (Too poetic?)

@Rest of y'all
Try harder damnit.

What you're essentially saying is that salesman is at fault here too, therefore I will use this post as an example.

It is salesman's fault that he only does not desire to read most threads? It is salesman's fault that he feels the need to skip over half of the posts? NOPE. What do you expect people to do here, make threads to facilitate spamming? Post insightful responses to generic crap? People become disinterested with the forum when it gets this low (unless you're a retard) and it is not my job as someone who is disinterested in a forum to prevent that. We have moderators for that purpose.

In a way it's everybody's fault, even mine.
But nice adverting from yourself to seem higher in the topic.
