It actually boggles my mind. P99 servers altogether might be more popular than they've ever been besides Green's launch. Yet these forums are a dust town.
Essentially there are folks that treat EQ forums like some kind of PvP match. It's weird. It's almost as if folks that become disillusioned with EQ become red99-type forum dwellers. Maybe they didn't live in era of cool couch co-ops like Golden Eye and Mario Kart. Basically they think saying three words in a negative way makes them cool or something. And they're in their 40s doing this. No depth. Just sheer laziness really.
You do you Lambparade. There are folks who appreciate other people with brains and creativity. You're right that tons go on behind the scenes that most take for granted. There were eras when these forums were pretty awesome. Who knows there could be another renaissance again at some point.
