Well, that was nurtured from the events I described in the OP:Extreme trolling + insulting of others beliefs = hostile environment where everyone holds to their beliefs regardless of argument.
That has always been the case though.
And there have always been "brigades" such as the antediluvians.
Meh. I never really minded carthage. I disagreed with alot of his opinions, but at least he backed up his stances, and his trolling of Bane for example was at least original.
What annoyed me was all the trolls that copied his shtick and ran with it. Not just that but they were like a poor mans, B movie versions of him. If you're gonna not only troll but rip off another guys trolling shtick at least add something fresh or clever, put your own personal touch on it. Not just "Bane dies" from half a dozen posters in every thread.
Everytime i see the beta trolls at work i picture the old guy in this commercial saying the same old tired line over and over oblivious to how lame it sounds.

I doubt Carthage actually read this.
Anyway I think we're reading too much into this. The forum is dying because the old timers are growing older and it's not like kmc has a good marketing strategy. It's kind of sad and if we really wanted to I'm sure we could try to bring it back together, but IDEK.
