So 2009 has been a year filled with drama in the Dtoid community, drama perpetuated by the idea of the "old" dtoid community vs. the "new" dtoid community. Today was apparently another chapter in the ongoing story of this struggle that just doesn't want to go away. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm pretty sick of all the drama at this point. I'm sick of this whole idea of the "new" community vs. the "old" community, and how the new community is ruining what used to be a great site. I'm sick of everyone acting like children.

Everyone needs to get it through their heads that things do change. Nothing in life is constant, especially not something as chaotic as the internet. It is very true that change has come to Destructoid, but for the most part the only change I have seen is good change. Instead of embracing this change, we seem to be trying to rip Dtoid apart from the inside out because we can't deal with this change. Well it's time that we all get over ourselves and learn that Dtoid isn't about anyone of us as individuals, but about all of us as a community made up of extraordinary people. We need to get past this "new" vs. "old" bullshit and come together to make Dtoid the best it's ever been. If you can't do that, if you can't get past that, then you don't really belong here.

Ok ... I've said my peace ... now on with the Cblog Recaps ...

Memes? Drama? Sexy Bitches? Anal Rape?

5 gold stars to the first who correctly answers "which of these does not belong?"

Good recap, SilverDragon!

I have no say on the matter, because on one hand I hate the people who are butt hurt and constantly say things like "omg don't push the good blogs down", but I also hate the shitty meme posts. Especially if it's from new people who the fuck I don't even know on here.

That was some mighty fine Drama avoiding Mr. Dragon. I particularly enjoyed reading the post about imagination in gaming.

All right everyone, I think in times like these that we all join hands and sing along with me in the song of solidarity.

We are the world.
We are the children.
We are the ones who make a brighter day.
So let's start giving.

Agreed... I felt like I cam on too strongly and wrote something completely on impulse without thinking it through... I'm not going to lie and say what I said was wrong, but I feel like I should have just moved along and ignored it. I apologize to anyone that cares and I don't want this to turn out to be a bad first impression for many of you that have never seen or heard of me, whether you're a newcomer or old-timer...

My bad...

You pretty much said all that needs to be said about the drama. Anyways, nice recap and the Super Mario Galaxy article was really cool.

@Pikeman,

Don't apologize. I agreed with the meme bullshit being a waste. Yeah, its fun for those posting it, not for everyone else.

Any other day, the meme shit would be categorized under Failtoid.

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my DREEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAMS
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

I have been sick and tired of this drama since it started in January and has been carried on through various forms until now. It seems we can't go two weeks without something going crazy and forcing us all to sing Kumbaya. This "drama" was laughable, because it was just some new users whining about the way things have always been done around here. This is not about who is an oldfag (me) and who is a newfag, this is just Dtoid - take it or leave it. God, I don't even know why everyone has their panties in a wad about who has seniority. The only time it matters how long you've been here is if you join, don't recognize the community standards/practices, don't take the time to fit in with Dtoid, and instead try to bend Dtoid to what you want it to be instead of what it is - in which case, Newbie better step down before he gets stepped on.

Necros, you have a point, a pretty good one but I'm not sure exactly what you mean by 'taking the time to fit in' I guess it's worth pointing out that part of what defines dtoid is its individualism, and so as the membership changes that changes dtoid, too.

It's not all about fitting in with some fixed ideal that's been around since the beginning, because that ideal has flexibility built into it. Just as the new folks should take the time to understand what dtoid is about, the old folks should be prepared for the change that new people will inevitably bring.
