Ryan's too busy getting KDice on iPhone, this way he can sell it for 99 cents per download. It's a guaranteed 10 bucks. Luckily there is no refunds for downloaded content he'll be able to keep it all!! Woo.

Louis is right...

my 2 cents.

The complete lack of social moderation has also crushed this community. I for one have essentially stopped playing because of the constant barrage of anti-semitic comments I get from people now that they've realized that I react to the trolling.

Actually, I think Louis is dead wrong.

The community is smaller than it used to be, which would be fine if chuff had wandered off and there was a solid consistent dedicated core community. However, most of the best players eventually just wander off angry or unsatisfied.

Well, moderation doesnt matter, bugs dont matter, everything doesnt matter, as long as one point is just serious: Ryan seems(!) not to care about this game. (or at least we have the feeling)

Its true Jeremy, alot of players and mods gave up... and possibly its going to continue this way.

I miss you Jer, you were probally the first person I trolled on kdice, but my trolls are funny most of the time ;-)

Sam, I enjoyed battling you quite a bit. That was the good kind of evil. Now this joint is filled with all the bad kinds of evil.

"There has been a lot of buzz lately about the how many empty or failed online communities litter the web."

no, there hasn't

i expect the rest of the article to be just as retarded

The only problem with Ryan is that he doesnt respect the competitive integrity of the game: individual games, tourneys, or monthly tournaments.

And he has proven it hundreds of times.

I am wrong at which point Jeremy? This community might have been bigger, but it is not dead - I did not state anything else.

Strange enough, nobody is picking up the point as to why that list is relevant in any way. Maybe there are other reasons for people leaving this game. I for example dislike the permanently changing scoring system. I lack uninterrupted game-time and thus don't do tourneys. That makes finishing in good ranks kind of harder.

And for the being trolled in chat - as a German you get used to be called a Nazi any given occasion from anybody in the net. Ignore it, it is not worth the time.
