After quite some time I can easily see that the community has turned against itself, when it was supposed to be us against the world. Backstabbing, accusations, pointless arguments, and so much more have started to truly tear apart a once so happy, and passionate group. I've noticed a lot of harsh selfishness as well, with people nitpicking to get all their wanted "credit", some only giving things as parts of equal trades; it is very ridiculous, and needs to end. We are all, or are likely all, gamers. We can upon this forum in search for fellow gamers with similar interests, and the same passion we have. We didn't join this forum to experience what a horrid, and dysfunctional family feels like, as some may already be in that boat. Instesd we came for the good parts of a family: Shared values, shared interests, and most importantly, shared passion. And passion, that's a word I've thrown in a lot, and that is due to its crucial importance to this forum. We all, or mostly all, have a passionate interest in the world's emergency services, no? In that case, why should we fight? For example, someone creates a dodge charger model for their mod. The mod is released, and another modder uses that same model for their mod, and they forget, or maybe just don't bother to credit the original creater. The creater then, say, revokes their mod release due to this, because it is "their model", or "their" car. Let me spell this out in the simplest way I can; the car is not yours. The model, it isn't yours. It is dodges model, it is dodge's car. You didn't design the vehicle from scratch, spend hours on end creating a new concept car. What you did, was exactly what you were angry about: lack of credit for another's work. If it was truly all that important to people, you'd be crediting chevrolet, and lambo, and BMW, and so on. The fact that you don't proves that it doesn't really matter to you, it's just selfishness. The reason this community is failing is the fact that we've forgotten what is important to it. Not backstabbing, just so someone can get their way. Not punishing, because someone didn't put a creators name on everything. A passion for the topic, of which this forum stands upon. I write this, not for personal gain, or an attempt to persuade. I'd like this to just help be a guidance to a friendlier forum, with the same passion that started it off. - ~D.~ P.S. Here's the video that inspired me to finally write this. It's an example of what a growing, or already established community needs. He addresses it nicely at the beginning, and the end. https://youtu.be/eOb-2nHgJao
