Where did Pre Big Bang go wrong?

You ask for a conversation the moment you click the "Post thread" button. The quality of the discussion is generated based on the general consensus of the forum readers, not the thread starter. This thread was doomed to die. There's no arguing that. You demanded a conversation, for people to explain why they didn't like the thread, and they did. They offered what they had to say: That it wasn't worth saying anything.

This is exactly what you wanted, even if the results aren't what you thought, and I was trying to explain it. But of course, we are the presumptuous ones. Listening to us serves no purpose unless we respond what you wanted to hear.

So enjoy your constructive discussion! Or search for past discussions about this subject, and compare them to nowadays if you really want to bring something slightly new. You'll find the answers are already there. And haven't changed at all.

Saying nothing is not the same thing as casting a downvote.
I can comprehend some of what you are trying to say but you also said that the answer to the question "Where did Pre Big Bang go wrong?" already exists somewhere that can be searched. If that is case then please provide a link so that I may be enlightened.

It's not a question of what I want, it's a question of what I have observed.

When three different MapleStory forums (I don't look at Basil but I suspect they react the same way) respond in the same violently negative way to the same topic, I conclude that that topic does not belong in such forums. Or, at the very least, that if one insists on continuing to post that topic in those forums, one should be prepared to accept the reaction. Acting surprised at it every time loses you crediblity.

You stated that there were no players at all that like PreBB on Southperry
That there were no players at all that like PreBB on the Subreddit
And that there were no players at all that like PreBB on the official forum

These statements appear to be quite obviously wrong and yet you said them as if it were no big deal.

I have no issue with there being a reaction but I do care if it is a reaction that actually has some meaning. Making personal attacks and cheap shots only shows that the side in disagreement is not capable of handling a real discussion. If someone has something to say about a topic then they should by all means do so but running around screaming and trying to create a negative atmosphere does nothing to detract from a topic of debate. Somebody thinks different than someone else?! BIG WHOOP.

And yes I still do get surprised because either the Maplestory player base is so separated and broken that people for reals don't care about other players or certain groups of players are ok with what looks like a one sided response to target others for no other reason but liking something different and/or not giving up right away. (which is what I saw in the earliest PreBB threads from years ago that I was able to find)

To clarify what I am talking about, I have little interest in how someone on a forum feels about me in a personal way but as a gamer, I care very much about the opinion of other gamers. Depending on the topic.

If someone thinks giving up at some point sooner would have been better, I'd like to hear why and if someone thinks not giving up is better I'd like to hear why.
