It made me realize that all the curmudgeons on this forum have actually hurt the game, hurt LBI, and hurt all of us in the community who love this game with their skullduggery.
Sorry just venting, I'm done
I had to use a dictionary! Well said.

Of the sales the game does have, in all likelihood only a tiny percentage of those people even know this forum exists, let alone have been here.
And then we have people who drop in once in a full moon Lol
Hey, gotta keep up appearances. The master plan to undermine SH's success needs a nudge every now and then to keep up the momentum
In all seriousness I actually check out the forum on a daily basis, and based on what I have read thus far, it seems the game is drastically improving, especially with the latest patch. if only LB had released SH with the 1.03 patch then it might have been more successful, rather than releasing it prematurely as an extended beta 3 months ago.
I have disagreed with a lot of your opinions in the past, but on this, you literally said exactly what I've been trying to get across the past few days.
I check this forum daily, as I did with WH forum from '07-10, and my lingering impression is that WH forum was a place to talk about strategies, recaps of great matches, and an exploration of the mysterious WH universe and mythos, based on scant clues in the maps. SH forum, on the other hand, has not reached that by a long shot (jeez I remember when we got to 1 million wh posts!) because indeed, this place is saturated with negativity. No, it didn't come into play at release, it is not the cause of the initial bus. But it does continue to hurt sales, as potential buyers visit the site and see endless threads about nerfing weapons and vehicles, and are turned off from the game.
