There were similar threads even in the early days 2003-2005, about the decline of the forum, crpgs etc. If some search-wizard could find some of them, it would be very interesting...

It won't allow me to see the second thread, but that Roqua guy sure does know his shit and has been fighting the good fight for a long, long time. Just look at much ground has been given. He was complaining about TB, and now this community has devolved to the point where only child console games with absolutely no complexity and are super rpg-lite get hot threads.

I have no doubt the community back then would have loved and supported the shit out of AoD, Underrail, WL 2 DC, Expeditions Vikings, TToN, and all the other real crpgs released in the last five years. Now, unless the game was expressly made for kids and retarded adults that don't like rpgs, or hipster retards, they are either completely ignored or brutally attacked by the children and retarded older-children than populate this site now. The site leaders back then also hated pokeman and actually liked and played crpgs - whereas the exact opposite is true now.

We need the subforum for actual rpg fans badly. We need a retard free zone for people that are here for actual rpgs and rpg discussion.

Rosh and Vault Dweller did use to talk about how shit BG2 is and how great Fallout is, but BG2 is this forum's most popular game (and deservedly so). What seems to have happened was that Rosh, VD, and Skyway were the most visible posters here, but that was never the majority opinion.

Wyrmlord , BG2 sucks. Fuck off.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised there was some crossover between old NMA and Codex, I just wonder how extensive it was.

My understanding is that it was very extensive, wherein a lot of NMA refugees came to codex when it was formed.
