I think the community can stomach another modding group. (Note: This is not a 'Can we all just get along?'-post)
I still like to point out that guest posting is a virtue. Even if it is just to allow Sim to follow up on threads in forums where he has been banned/suspended/exorcised.
The discussion about outdated modding tools and their dangers seems to have reached fruition in the sense that there might be a single place where they can be watched or worshipped according to allegiance or nostalgia.
Since my online persona is hard to be wronged substantially anyway, I understand old feuds and I can smell the faint yet sweet triumph in the air of those who were wronged, but I couldn't pull it off even if several lunch invitations would have been extended over the years, pubically or not.
I still believe that most farctures are good (
War is the father of all and the king of all). Just imagine what would have happened. I witnessed first hand what a grand new start PPG had. Yeah, a lot of noteworthy archive stuff has been lost, but it is as good and shining as you can wish for. Look at the growth of G3, BWL, CoM,...
So much new stuff to mess up your game with.
So go forth and farcture people.
Me? I stayed mainly for the veal.
