I wasn't going to make a post here because I don't have anything new to add to the whole conversation, but I feel as I should chip into this.
Like other people have said, the community has taken a bit of a blow recently, despite the various breakthroughs (BrawlEx, Module research, BrawlBox, etc). From what I see, my reasoning for the community falling is because of a few reasons.
-People demand things to be handed to them on a silver platter, even if it's impossible.
-People have a severe lack of wanting to learn. People whom are too busy to learn are exempt from this.
-People can be rather hostile sometimes, myself included (as I can admit I can be rather mean sometimes). But not as bad as other sites.
-Sturgeon's Law having full effect on the Vault.
-Various people enabling bad behavior.
-Various people can't take criticism.
-People tend to have too much of a focus on Project M to even care about Brawl stuff.
-People tend to rely too much on the more well-known modders to make content, rather than make their own.
-Attack of the 503s (this is mostly a joke).
-People acting in a cringe-worthy manner (mostly noobs).
While the Brawl Modding community has taken a blow, I don't think it'll die out so soon. Because games such as DOOM 2 still have a modding community to this very day.
Pretty much explains why some of my desktop pics were deleted even though they're censored for the forums.
Because they were straight up porn. Sexual acts (even if they're censored) break the rules. Don't blame the community because you don't know the rules.
Yeah I agree, I don't like my need help threads being ignored ether.
I tend to ignore Help Threads for a few reasons.
-People being entitled [censored]s and demanding help.
-Other people are already helping the user.
-The problem is an issue I don't know about.
-I don't want to deal with people whom are just too dense to understand certain things.
Don't take it personally, but don't be so entitled.
The thing that really makes my angry is when people report hacks for something small or something they just made up, like if someone reports me for not giving credit for a hack that I made by myself, or whenever I put my videos on YouTube people dislike every video I put on there, but everything else doesn't really bother me
So you're going to blame the entire community on a handful of trolls?
