AFAIK not a single person politely asked for a change. No... people instead threatened to leave if it was not reverted. And I know that if I were an admin I'd not be inclined to change a thing back. As a mod I've had to deal with all of the childishness and insults, and been personally blamed for the "community"'s shortcomings.

I'll admit - I never asked for anything in this post, or this one.

However, I also did not threaten to leave, nor did I insult anyone, act childishly, or blame anyone for any shortcoming that, frankly, I don't think exists. 

Not to be contrary, once again, but giving the impression of lumping every poster besides yourself into a group you dislike seems counterproductive.  Yes, with an extremely literal read, you didn't *precisely* say that "... not a single person" is the same group as "people instead..." - but if you follow one with the other directly after, people are left to draw their own conclusions.  I'm not thin-skinned, and I could read it literally - but not everyone is, and not everyone will.

Please don't take it as a slam - it isn't.  It's an example of exaggeration and emotional language getting the best of a situation that already seems a wee bit edgy. 

I also wrote AFAIK. As Far As I Know. But your overreaction is noted. Thanks.

Overreaction to what? 

I went out of my way to say I wasn't upset.  Once again - it wasn't any sort of personal comment.

Apologies if you took it that way.

Sometimes, just sometimes, people go out of their way and write extremely sarcastic and ironic text as a dig. And quite frankly it was difficult to tell if you were being serious or a smartass.

Well, like I said about Cobra, but applying it in reverse - I don't know you from Adam, and I shouldn't have any reason to dislike you.  I haven't been here long enough to really like or dislike anyone.

I was serious - I saw a pattern that may or may not be interesting to you or the other admins, and felt it may be worth pointing out.  Sorry if I wasted your time.

Here's yet another random opinion from someone who wasn't around to see most of this emo-ness unfold in real time:  I utterly agree with shunting GenDisc down to the bottom of the forum, and I could really care less about any sort of splitting that happens/doesn't happen.  To be perfectly honest, I haven't regularly read Hard Light for what's probably more than a year now, despite making my first few posts on this forum in there.  Any thread with even a slight chance of controversy seemed to quickly descend into utter flaming and ganging-up within a page or two, and I quickly got sick of it.  I don't know about anyone else, but the reason I'm here is to see the amazing work that the SCP and modders are putting out on a daily and weekly basis; everything else is just so much fluff.  I'll probably peruse these newly-created subforums just as frequently as I did Hard Light, so they can do their thing down here as much as they want while I remain blissfully ignorant of them.

See we got some more opinions:
I really appreciate those changes. Well, actually I don't care, it's just that every other board I'm visiting also removed postcount in off-topic and moved off-topic section to the bottom. And they all do fine with that.

Hmm, there's one thing you could change:
Move the Machina Terra forum to the top of the page, that would spare some of my precious time.
