I've just had it with GM's that give excuse after excuse about why their IC isn't up, GM's that say "alright, IC will be up tomorrow!" and then disappear for days on end and players who act really excited and make great characters and then just plain don't post.
I get that things happen in people's lives that cut them off from the site, but we all know that isn't the case 100% of the time and that the vast majority of you flakes have no excuse.

This must seem rather hostile, but I've been sitting on this issue for days now and I'm really over it.  I've been a member of this site going back to one of it's earlier iterations dating back to around 2005 or 2006.  I think the layout of the current site is great, and it's really well figured out and it's intuitive for new people to find their ways around and above all it's just plain tidy.  But the people just used to be so much better, and way more reliable.

Hey now, you can't have a dig at people and say that their real life circumstances 'probably haven't changed' and call them lazy. Damn, they could have a sick relative they have to take care of, or maybe they have to work overtime to actually you know, pay their bills or something; maybe they're really ill or have had to take a break from the site to avoid stress or deal with personal issues. We're all here because we like to roleplay and as much as we'd all LIKE to be here 24/7 and do nothing but reply to posts it doesn't happen that way, man.

You don't know what's going on in other people's lives and it's not really fair of you to make a judgement like that just because you want replies to your roleplays XD
