Come on, how long are we going to drag this out. I mean, the whole tenth anniversary celebration went on for some whole week or two...

Do you hear the posters sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the short OP
that won't be seen again!

When the mods find this OP
Then this thread will be no more,
But the song will be sung again
When another comes!

OP, do you know the way?
Know the way to fix your post?
Just add details and sources to spark
Debate on these forums.

Otherwise this thread is doomed
Doomed to death by modly wrath

Technically I'm coming up on my own nine year anniversary for being here... going by the official founding date though, it's only been five. Still, here's looking at you, kidMax! Grats on an excellent site, and I hope to see another ten/nine/five years as well.

I'm sure there are plenty of players who quietly sit back without responding and go on to other threads. We don't hear from them very often. They're the quiet 99%. Mostly we hear from people like the OP and a small group of discontented players about our many and various failures. I truly think that most of "the community" probably thinks we're doing a good job, or simply doesn't think about it at all.

I still have my nation from eight years ago. I don't do anything with it because I post from my WA only now, but it's there!

I even got honored in my home region for sticking with them for so long. It was kind of funny. :p
