Hey Will,
With TLOPO firing up and showing more and more promise, it's enticing to want to start up
another community. However, my gripe is that we should not be focusing on
creating more - we should be
building upon one another.
This isn't specifically directed at you per se, but more so in a general fashion - everybody seems to have a tendency to want to "lead" and not join an already existing platform of discussion or development.
I suppose my main point is this: we seriously need to CONSOLIDATE ourselves. A community is no good if it is spread across ten different sources of congregation. It would be stronger and more tightly knit as one unified entity. This is my same argument to all of the different POTCO remake startups.
Not to smash your light-bulb in fury, but I beg you to consider other alternatives. Pirates Forums has always been a central hub of pirate discussion. We are always open to suggestions should you want to propose something new to be added to the site (Site Feedback section). A lot of what you mentioned is already true here - we do share lots of YouTube videos and streams, graphics, screenshots, stories, and music. Why reinvent the wheel?
United we stand, divided we fall.
