At first DSiPaint/WiiOperaSDK AKA SDK was identical to a leprechaun frolicking in a field of four leaf clovers, but after a few months it has faded and has been tarnished by drama. It is hard to think of a place once as paradise and then a cheap motel smothered with dump.

There's nothing to look forward to at 4 AM, is there?
The way we see things is based upon our attitude. That's my piece of wisdom for the day. If anyone's intrested I have a blog I made a while ago regarding this issue.
Unfortunately, I've begun noticing a bit of drama here and there. Maybe Hull will promote more users to BB and Chatmins soon, or maybe admins will come down harder on drama starters. I guess we'll see in the future.
It's my job to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I'll gladly lay down my life.
A large part of this issue is due to the growing site membership. A year ago, it was at only several thousand, and now, it's approaching 50,000 (albeit w/ alternate and inactive accounts). The point is that website activity has dramatically increased in nearly every area of the website. I conclude that the number of active members corresponds closely to the overall behavior on the site. In other words, more members means there is a greater chance of poor behavior.
That's not to say that there's no solution to the problems we have. There just needs to be more responsibility among all users, administrators included. Possibly even stricter punishments.
I do accept the fact that it never will be perfect. It's just a matter of seeing the larger picture and making it as close to perfection as possible.
I agree, Limxzero. A group of 5,000 people is a lot easier to control that a mob of 50,000.
How about we install a fascist dictatorship? Nothing like a charismatic general for crowd control :D
