How to REVIVE CF Forums

Obviously, there are those who will always think they are untouchable.
Think of it like this, guys(those who wants to troll).

Crossfire is like a small market organization(CF NA, I mean) that is competing against tons of other First Person Shooters. IE, we won't exactly blow your mind away, but we're pretty darn good.

A analogy would go something like this, (not to offend any of you yankees fan, but this is just to show the difference)

Z8's Crossfire is like the Tampa Bay Rays in the majors, always constantly battling against the Yankees and Red Sox. Those are the big guns, and but we always find a way to fight way.

Meaning we(the CF Community) are just as good as those other big name FPS. But....But...without a strong community in the Forums, we can't be like that.

You see, from what I observe is, the forum controls how the game is going to be in a few years. The more positive things are perceived on the forums, the more positive things people have to say about the game. If people are always constantly bashing on the MODs, or GMs, about how this patch or that patch didnt do what they wanted, then, there will always be negative outcomes of each thread, posts, and etc. The more good, the more people. The more bashing on GMs and whatnot, the more people feel like the GMs and MODs aren't doing enough, even though they don't know. It's like a rumor that gets spread around like a disease. The CF Community is the public, and what ever happens in the public, should stay there. Don't take things so personal, that you need to start bashing on GMs, MODs, or better yet, other forumers.
I've played this game for about a year now, and I know just enough to come up with this.
Notice how little respect GM Saidin gets. You can almost sense that after each and every patch, someone posts a thread, "OMFG, THIS PATCH SUCKS", or something to that extent. It takes time to change things people, it just doesnt happen overnight.
Hopefully, this thread brings out all the good in forumers. And we pass it on.

The only troll we ever got fully away was Coruption, though he was no where near as bad as some of the people I wish would just stop.

I really want to know what the point of trolling is.

Also, the fact that people complain about everything, and think they know what is going on is what really grinds my gears. They have no clue what happens between the DEVs and G4Box, they just assume everything and try to use that to start a whole pointless thread.

Apparently, making people mad online is a hobby. Get a life people. Let the people who want to play, play, let those who wants to discuss, discuss.
But the most important thing is, that I think no one really does is, it is way easier to just ignore trolling than to say something back. If a thread is about new guns, let it just be about new guns, and not, "OMG that WILL NEVER HAPPEN".

Rex, would you accept me into that clan of yours eh?
