[quote=@Buddha] Like I said, we will see. I'm not an expert on arena RP, and I'm curious to how it'll play out. And yes it is, which is actually an issue we've touched on within this thread, if you'd cared to read the entirety of it, rather than jump on here to be defensive. Dynamo already offered thoughts on how to re-energize that forum, which was a good start. I've yet to see yours. I'll just presume my ignorance has carried over on you and prevents you from posting meaningful solutions, which is the same reason why I'll not reply to the arena chat thread. I just think you severely misrepresent my opinion. For instance I never once said we should remove all arena aspects on the forum. That'd be stupid. [/quote] Inherent in my initial criticism was that you're trying to fix a problem which does not exist. Arena is not dead, it lies dormant and picks up again with tournaments and events, and always has. The best way to energise the forum is to host tournaments and events, which is already happening, and has been happening for the last five years. Making people suddenly not drop out of things is basically impossible in this format of RP, as an issue that is not specific to Arena but human beings as a species, I'm not overly concerned with it. Moreover, your cynical attempts to prove your point by posting misleading screenshots that only prove something when looked at outside of the context of how arena organisation works is deliberately damaging to the reputation of the arena sub-forum, and is deserving of criticism.
