Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Okay maybe it wasn't all "rainbows and sunshine" back then but it wasn't as bad as today.
Nostalgia Time.*Hits head against wall.. They must of had a lot of free time.
That was the reaction of many people. But the amount of time, energy and effort that was put into that site, the community and how it was (like it or not) a sub/splinter community of the overall community (there were a lot of dual-members both here and there), I believe that it showed just how passionate and particular fans can be when they invest and attach to a game/story/mechanic/style so long and deeply.
People begin to feel that the game is MINE, and their understanding, experience, fantasy and predictions for where it will go, those are the ONLY reasonable outcomes. Anything other than "what I see happening in this thing that I consider mine" is a failure of the makers to understand "what is really important". Of course, combine that with the Internet and the social phenomenon of "I've found other people who agree with me, therefor we are numerous, therefor we must be the majority, therefor we should not only be heard, but obeyed. Any other view is illogical and must be destroyed for the good of all." and there you have it.
