woop woop thought police!
I hope you're well Amelie!
m0ds left because people like Snarky would rather pull up someone's rant than ever say anything positive... and that muppet runs this place! (Not forgetting that he started editing/removing my posts and then had me kicked from the AGS team). Operating on an unproductive logic level I can't work with anymore. No more apparent than here, where a rant is supposedly akin to need-to-know info for "people who were wondering about m0ds". Were people wondering if I was having an angry rant somewhere? No, but that's what this muppet wants you to be alerted to, before anything else. Snark has never had anything good or positive to say about m0ds and m0ds grew tired of always having a constant force to battle against. He could spend his time more effectively elsewhere... Uh-oh, ranting again...

I was going to write up in full why I left for your info, Amelie, but is it worth it? I can sum it up pretty quickly: Snarky, Azure - key reasons I left this community and the wider community. Stagnant AGS forums/site, laziness and stubbornness of the team (mostly Snarky*) to ever improve, refresh things, another big reason. Sometimes defending members behind the scenes (including yourself) where others wanted them/you removed or ignored, the point however that community member issues were effectively being papered over.
In fact, all behind-the-scenes issues generally led to the same conclusion: "Do nothing", seemingly because it's the easiest/laziest option - strange considering you'd think hobbyists would be enthusiastic for change, growth and their community. Criticisms (of games or people) considered dissent, therefore no diverse opinion flows. No more joy for point & click adventures / 2D art (I imagine hell is a 2D landscape or side of buildings). And a bunch of other things.
I may not have gone to a good place, but it is a better place, for me

I will extend an apology to Dave though, as I did go off the rails at Adventure Gamers. Kinda funny they will leave my rant but have banned any kind of reply to it, lol.
If I'm here then I'm a hypocrit for leaving? I'm trying to fix a few links and beyond a few bad apples there are great people here in the fray, you are welcome to get in touch if need be. But yeah I can't be getting engaged in this stuff/place again. I find facebook terrible so have removed all adventure game contacts but that isn't personal, it's hard enough to engage with "local" friends on that platform so am just trying to find a "decent experience" there (somewhat tired of people promoting their games all over the place), but I'm an open book on Twitter and emails if need be. So wish you folks the best! It's quite alright if you agree, disagree, like or dislike me. A bit of heat, a bit of passion, that's what this place used to be about in its heyday

* online Snarky. Gunnar Harboe is a nice enough guy but online Snarky can suck my balls.
