Oh man. The memories, the deja vu! I'm back in the building ladies and gentleman, Chooxh international airlines flight $$$ (Too soon Paquiao?) has just touched down in the KaW lowlands! So much has happened since I last played this game, and I have spent the last hour catching up on all major events and scandals. There is a lot to talk about. I don't want to make this entirely about my return, as much as everyone would have wanted (obviously). Let's get started by calling the kawmmunity out and saying the thing very few people want to acknowledge! The Forums Are Dead. Cry, scream into a pillow, start gambling and lose all your money... I don't care how deal with this fact but come to terms with it. The glory days are in the past. Its more of a update center now a days, filled with your eb news, post spam games, welcome threads and people complain about what devs are doing (not like the last one is new or anything ). Now, dont take my word too literally, there are still good threads, and there are people trying to combat this problem. But a good thread has slowly turned from once every few days to once in a blue moon. It's Time for Resuscitation I pulled a sandlot in third grade. Got dared by all my friends to fake drown so the lifeguard, Lets call her Betty, would give me mouth-to-mouth and I would finally prove to all my friends that I had the biggest Guts in the entire neighborhood. I learned a hard lesson as, unbeknown to me at the time, Betty had left the pool area on lunch break. A ahem, male lifeguard had taken over. I cannonballed into the pool, closed my eyes and screamed and yelled, thrashing around, "help help I cant swim". I heard a splash behind me as I was hoisted over a shoulder, a strong, muscular shoulder (Wow betty you really work out! :lol: ). I acted limp as possibly as he threw me onto the boardwalk and began cpr and mouth to mouth when I failed to respond. I still believed it was betty until his mouth met mine...He had a beard. This is not a normal, 20 something "I'm a hipster beard". This is not a normal, 30 something "I work to much to shave beard". This is a full on, macho man, Stanley cup playoffs beard. Animals make dens in this beard. Air can't penetrate into this beard. The beard is so thick less than 1% of the suns light reaches the skin underneath. I immediately sat straight up, hitting heads with the lifeguard, and proceeded to leave to pool. Left my things, my little Nintendo, and my pride. In any case, I lived. I didn't need someone to breath life into me because my heart was still beating. The heart and soul of the forums stopped beating long ago and we need to kick it back into gear, get a heart transplant, do something or we may lose it forever. I know I said there are forumers fighting this, forumers who post good content and try their hardest to fill the forums with something good. I thank you and I commend you. Mods and devs work their fingers to the bone locking threads and punishing spammers and rule breakers. I thank you and I commend you. But its not enough. So here today, right now I call all forumers to action. I Challenge all forumers to post the best content they can post and to focus on quality, not quantity. This is not a order or a threat, it is a call to action, a early warning. I once helped launch a thread-creating contest with my friend Wakebuster. The results were phenomenal! I had no idea the forums had so much talent and I met many friendly people.This is the Kaw forums mouth to mouth. I want the good old days back, and we may not be able to ever get those back. That is the truth. But we can always make something new. More than anything, I'm glad to be back, I'm looking foward to meeting new people, and I hope you take time to consider my words. I'm glad to be home. Kudos to BadRobot for helping bring me up to speed.
Welcome back, like they say. No really leaves forever. We all find our way back to this addictive game eventually
Welcome back my old friend, you have some valid points in this thread and I completely agree to you. Can't wait to see what this summer may hold for the forums.
