Zanestorm, aren't both links leading to the same journal?

Or are they different journals?

Edit: Never mind, I see the difference.

Although, may I ask where you found Sub said this: "I mocked him here for saying he was gay, because of his repeated attempts to establish himself as an intellectual powerhouse who's entire life built him for this moment.

Edit 2: Never mind, I found it.

I was thinking the exact same thing. That's what happens when half the people on a Smite forum hate and no longer play Smite. You get this.

It used to be such a close-knit community, now petty **** like this is started daily from the looks of it.

We criticise it because we want the game to be good. If we truly hated the game, then we wouldn't bother expressing our opinions on the issues we find in the game, because then we'd want the game to remain bad (not implying Smite is bad, it just has a few fundamental issues that really hold it back from being a good competitive game).

Good ol' days. Now this site is reminiscent of Planetside 2.

Buddha, why not just lock threads like these? I only skimmed through some of the pages, but it looks like its just personal attacks and flame wars.

In hopes that it'll get back on track. There was definitely good discussion, but this has gone to *****.

I'll just put out a final warning. I'm always reluctant to lock threads that have had a lot of good discussion but has gone sour because, well, it brought good discussion. If this continues to just be flaming, then I'll lock this thread.

Warn the users that are starting the arguments personally. I'm not sure how much power you have as compared to Mowen, but from checking up on the forums from time to time over the passed few months, I frequently see the same names popping up that cause the flaming.

Except the Planetside 2 forums have a ton of users, so this kind of **** is usually at least drowned out by proper discussions and debates, at least that's how it was when I roamed those forums. Our site here has a handful of active users, probably half of which contribute to this kind of **** that ends up being at the top of the forum section for a long time.

Is it really any wonder why we're seeing less and less of many previous active members of this community or we see a very low influx of new active members? Not really.

And to think we still tend to trash talk about the Smite sub-Reddit. What a joke.

Well, that's all fun and games, but it makes it very repulsive for players who actually play the game.

How many members are active on this site? Angrytoast tried to start a SMFG competitive team, and we couldn't find five ****ing people to do it. It's downright pathetic at some point.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
