Ok, someone had to break ground on this. Let&#039;s break in the open-discussion and criticism of the board as of late.<br /><br />Me, personally I think it&#039;s run way beyond its course. Majority of us have forum accounts. The need for a cheaply elected and [b][u]oft-abused[/u][/b] board of players to represent the player base is not needed anymore. The board has been sleazy, blind, and isolated throughout the years.<br /><br />Ideally, I would rather see decision making via democracy vote by a means of where we can have organized communications, such as the forum. The majority of us have accounts here, and the forum is underused as a tool of opinion. It would take some time to have people use the forum more, but I think the newly emphasized focus on the forum can garner more formal discussions about IDL as opposed to the dickwaving we all love to partake in on IRC. Now this has the potential for having idiots en masse, so I think we should test the waters first.<br /><br />Either way, the current board has made terrible choices. From the hilariously bad map selection to poisoning the integrity of the board with shady PM deals over votes and rules, I think action needs to be taken on the board after all these years.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Lately, to be specific as to what sparked this, is the problem regarding the wad map selection. The board seemingly does not playtest any new maps that get included, nor does it take into consideration the playability of current maps when they get removed (HELLO 07 and 19!). Even more aggravating was the reversal of textures for map32, which turns it into a blinding spectacle for many players and as a result would now see even less playtime.<br /><br />So let&#039;s hear it. What do you have to say?<br /><br />[b]TL;DR[/b]: Board makes us&nbsp; &gt;:( and not&nbsp; ;D.
