Recently we saw new forum members with zero post count standing up and the same old people were at them right away, claiming they have no forum reputation.
You are free to guess who these people are and why they have no reputation, but let me tell you: because of the fear being instilled by the established gangs. Until now, these people were silent, innocent bystanders afraid to rise up just to get beaten down.
Nonetheless, they were as important, if not even more important, than the so called respected old time community members who thought they can do what they want and bully people without reason just because they have a certain name and reputation attached to them.

This is not how it works. A community is not made up by the people who organise tournaments or interact in game, on the forums, in the TS or on the IRC (please don't go there, I did the mistake of doing so and it's a bunch of toxic people barely past puberty and the climate of racist and sexist violence by no moderation whatsoever was even worse than it was here before Reloaded took over.)
A true community is made up by the silent people who never talk and who no one knows. They are what kept the game alive over years. Them and Reloaded.

Because Reloaded owns the game after their big style emergency rescue people will still talk about once the vultures and bullies have moved on to other games to harass other people.
Because Reloaded owns the forums and therefore not only makes the rules but enforces them and therefore, can never be wrong.
Because Reloaded kept the game alive and gave it new impulses when people started to become desperate - I cannot blame you for that, but we have seen what they are capable of and the future of Hawken looks brighter than before.

You have no privilege to be here. You are merely guests of Reloaded and if I had my say, I would not only permaban certain people from the forums but from Hawken as well. What have you done for the game? And now look what Reloaded has done for the game.
Reloaded is Hawken.
Reloaded is the community.

Finally, some of the most dangerous and toxic elements have been deported, but you can still see their network working by looking at who likes who's posts. But Reloaded is on a good way of cleansing and restoring an atmosphere of freedom in the forums again.

For that, I wanted to thank the team at Reloaded, mostly the Mech Mods, whoever these anonymous warriors are, fighting the good fight.
They may not be the heroes the forums wanted, but the heroes we deserve.

This is why we can't have nice things.

With all this discord in the vocal part of the community i'm scared to post much of anything, RLD will do what they want, we are guests here and people seem to forget that.

My fears of posting have now subsided.

This is why I don't care if what I post is unpopular or *gasps* people think less of me for my opinion.

Through brilliant logical reasoning and deduction, you've simultaneously uncovered and dismantled the high-tier cabal.  May the veterans' conspiracy against new forum-goers finally be put to rest.    

 

As a reward for your bravery and relentless perseverance towards "freedom," I've found and cropped a new profile avatar for you.

Honestly, it just feels to me like this thread is trying to incite a bit of a witch hunt (Can't think of a better word).

Maybe, possibly.. probably not.     (Maybe gentrification for a better word?)

If anyone read that and still thought this was a serious post...................

I think it's silly to argue one way or another. The people working hard to get the game out there wants to believe it made the most impact, and the silent masses who have come and gone steadily in droves over the years have absolutely no voice in this discussion anyway.

I find it hard to believe anyone that could be in a "high tier cabal" or even know of its existence wouldn't know the functionality of the mute player option in-game. You must be being sarcastic.

Except you, skrubdos. 

 

Skrubdos7 confirmed high tier cabal.

Stuff like this is exactly why I avoid the IRC. I told you about these people.

I think the next few weeks are going to make some special memories for all of us. 

[Epsilon_Knight]

People vote with their feet.  Either for the fascist communism that some of our banned comrades represented, or for the glorious safety and freedom of RLD's Hawken Forums.

 

Brush up on your history.
