Title: Spawning ground
Post by: Siplus on 26 April 2004, 04:13
i haven't really taken notice too much, but MES, even with it's trolls, mod desputes, and political rambling, has spawned many small communities in the pro-OSS/anti-MS feild.

even though some people may hate what goes on here at times, a lot of good 'for the cause' comes from this site, either directly or indirectly. i can think of 4 or 5 sites/communities/projects that have come into existance since i started coming here, but i'm sure there are more since i do not lurk on a regular pattern.

Everytime something major happens (void's leaving for political debate, avello's inspiration for the openopen group i think it was called, etc) a new source for people seeking freedom from microsoft makes itself available.

even if members here are constantly bickering over menial issuses, remember: argue all you want over the small matters like "he deleted my joke!", but remember why you originally came to "fuckmicrosoft.com" or "microsuck.com". when MES loses track of this, a new inspiration is born, and another pathway for help/aid to linux/mac is developed.

just my 2 cents. i have just noticed a lot of old arguments reoccuring and a lot of dumb shit going on, and i felt the need to say SOMEthing  (http://smile.gif)

Well, this is why we have a "Lounge".  Also, you can blame most of the shit here on jimmyJames.

Lots and lots of all the old moderators and members have leaved.

This forum will survive though, it's been worse than this.
