This right here is incredibly my kind thing

Change the people who run CoH2.org - so maybe Ami should do that and try to negotiate a deal with a group of persons that actually like the game (and page) and want to keep it running.

Anyone is welcome to send in a Staff Application if they want. But, the people currently in charge of the site, and not just Ami, know from a lot of years of experience that Staff need to earn their spurs. Enthusiasm vanishes quickly in the majority of people no matter how much they have initially and what they're intentions are, so it can't be a simple as shoving new people in there and hoping for the best. Saying that, there are a lot of awesome new faces on Staff and if they keep going they'll have better and greater roles in the future if they keep it up, and we're always open to new applications, to help promote anything to do with the game and listen to feedback on what we do. So, yeah, if you love the game get involved. Don't ask the community to cut it's nose off to spite it's face.

I think the discussion around #AmiGate is a really healthy thing at the moment. One of the things that led to the SC2 bubble bursting was this insipid "Hooray For Everything" attitude, where senior community figures railed against anything that wasn't positive cheerleading. What it led to was a situation where every house was built on sand and no-one called out bad ideas for what they were, or if they did they were ignored or chastised as long as the money kept coming in. It wasn't healthy.

It's far better to have problems out in the open. The question is then - do you say that those making criticisms should be drummed out of the community, or should those problems get discussed so something positive come out of it? For me it's healthy if the community leaders problems with the game are out in the open and everybody who enjoys the content and cares about it knows what's going on behind the curtain. People like Ami, TFN etc are just like the rest of the community, they just happen to be producing content which gives them a different perspective and a host of problems that might not be apparent to viewers and fans. If those problems are out in the open then there's more chance of things getting solved and for the community to move forward.

OP Updated. No weird horrible pervy stuff in here please, if you haven't talked to or about girl before and don't know how to do it, then please practice somewhere else, or preferably don't post at all.

Please only nice things in Fanclub threads, "omg top playa", "cool micro broseph" "i wanna makea u babeez" that sort of thing. I'll be invising any obvious crunk from now on.
