Aionsource has developed far beyond what i expected and has attracted more people than i could have imagined at the time of sign up way back when. It's a good thing but i guess i just miss the old days of speculation and Western Beta coming 2007 threads which make everyone laugh now. Back when the Balaur were just a silhouette and the elyos were fighting those spitting dinosaurs from Jurassic Park. Nostaligic memories. I think most the old timers are just weary after all this time and this is how situations like this start. Personally i choose to just ignore most the forums and read up on news and mess about threads. It's a shame in my eyes because i was once a very active member...posting answers to questions, theorising and openly giving opinions but i just can't be fussed going through all these repeated threads anymore. The only thing that gets me annoyed is people who are relatively new giving out false information to people that ask. I had to step in recently in a thread about how the world is setup (Instance vs sandbox) because someone said Aion is like WoW when it's not. It's zoned...and people seem to just assume things and think they know it all. That turned into a bit of a rant but oh well.

Aw Pancak3s, I thought you were joking over this
. When the game comes out, there will be a plethora of fansites. Tell me which one you decide to frequent, I don't want to lose touch
.
As for moderation: I think they are doing a fine job controlling the spam. In my opinion, the thing that needs improvement is the lack of personal relationships. It's hard for the Curse mods who have come to just simply jump in and be good moderators. I think it's fair to ask some of the mods to become a little more acquainted with us. It's hard enough to tell if somebody is joking on the internet or not. I believe with a bit more of a personal touch, we can see that things like this don't happen again. I understand that Curse is a large network, but this is a
fansite, emphasis on the "fan".
This may not seem like a big deal to most of you, but to Koji, and I (probably a few others too), this is very bad news seeing Pancak3s go.
While I do appreciate greatly what Curse has done for the website, I hope some of my comments will be taken to heart. Not only to improve this community, but all the other ones under your umbrella as well.
