>>56113063Heckling was a big part of the charm here. So were chatlock wars and the metagame was a lot simpler to comprehend back then so even brainless champs could eke out a small win streak, feel satisfied, and want to come back later.
Now there's hardly a crowd and at least 2/3 champs leave their positions simply due to disinterest from the nonexistent watchgroups. Doesn't help that the people who stick around have the personality of a fish and can just regurgitate memes.
Unfortunately 'derp didn't have the strength of character or community to really stick together in a way that wasn't prone to being an eventual circlejerk. That's a hard line to maintain, though, from any Anonymous to "named" setting. I can't blame the room and the server for becoming the circlejerks they were until closure.
There are probably a lot of other little factors im glossing over.
Anyways, yeah, this place is more or less dead. Kept alive only by odd hangerons who can't help but make a thread. I'm happy to have been here in it's heyday but those days are long gone.
crawdaunt btw
