EVE No Longer Supported/Staff Change

[Longboard]

Thank you Manic for expressing some of my own thoughts on the matter.

Thank you Tbone for being able to keep all these plates spinning for the last decade.

I think part of the problem that has bugged Manic (and myself) for sometime is the pervasive elitism still lingering from the MxO days, something that I think T addressed well in the post above.

This community became very tight-knit under the conditions of MxO if only because we were dealing with a hostile player base. This was before 'doxxing' became a term, and trust was more valuable than $info. This caused many people to play their cards much closer to their chest, and in my opinion only added to the levels of mistrust and paranoia of outsiders. This all comes together to reinforce a groupthink mentality that cannot positively serve a healthy and growing community in the long run.

I am a member of the Furious Angels.

I play Eve Online.

I consider myself a friend to both Manic Velocity and Fuse, and still try to keep in contact with both of them.

I do not consider any of these mutually exclusive, and I hope that others can manage to do the same.

Again, keep at it T. You've been doing this for the majority of your adult life and that takes some serious fucking dedication. We're all still trying to figure out what the future holds and as long as we can healthily discuss our different opinions in an respectful, adult manner, then we're already a step ahead of the curve.

That sums it up for me!
