Making a topic for this isn't worth it, so I'm posting it here instead

I've been kind of thinking about this for quite a while now, but a few minutes ago, I decided about leaving EP, at least for a while. Lots of things have changed on the forums the last months, and in my opinion -- for the worse. Of course, I'm sure I've played a part in that myself, but there are others as well. To be quite honest, it's been ticking me off that this doesn't seem to be a games/emulation community anymore, but a small 4-chan clone, or something like that. Things like
Is a perfect example of what I am talking about. Contributing to communities like EP takes a lot of time and hard work, and it really saddens me when all those hours, as for EP, I believe I've been here two years, are just washed away by someone who thinks it's all about being "a token member". This doesn't only apply to the person that posted what I quoted above, I'm sure its just me being oversensitive to this kind of stuff, but so be it. I love contributing to communities - uploads, helping people out, things like that. Let me also mention that the forums, as they are now, is a pure nightmare for people who are asking about things they've not got experience with. Shouting at newbies/beginners seems to be really "in" these days, and that kind of ticks me off too. I bet it's just me having a bad temper.
I'm not very good at writing or talking - especially not in English, and I'm sure you'll be able to pick apart this post in all kinds of ways, but that does not really bother me. I'm not really trying to insult anyone either, although it might look like it. So, I'm kind of tired. Bye for now.
