I've read over both sides of the recent .com / .co split and it's done nothing to repair the big knot in my gut over this. After spending the past couple of years tolerating the attitude of the original piratesonlineforums and the multiple suspensions for merely stating an opinion (often defending the game) or asking questions; I was praying for a better site to get past the negativity and issues.
I was invited by Treasurer to the original site and fell in love with it. Not only did I visit almost daily but it's on our guild page's link list and I constantly recommend it to members and friends - even considered asking to host some material here.
Sadly, in cases like this there is really no clear right or wrong - but I do believe that more could have been done to rectify instead of tearing completely apart. I doubt NEITHER side gave consideration to how we, the actual users would react. It is unfair for the two of you to ask all 1,000+ of us to decide between you.
So, what I'm left with is either going back to the original .com where so much damage has been done or come here - where I feel like I'm disrespecting Treasurer for the time and effort he put in and his kind invite. As a guild GM, I already deal with enough - coming to a fan site should not be a drama.
If this thread survives the day, I do hope you folks will simply state your feelings - NOT TAKE A SIDE, but let these guys know they need to work it out.
