Quite a few threads that are active are hosting some pretty negative vibes, be it the thread head or various posters. Is this usually what happens when winter rolls around?

If the forums was a mansion and everyone here lived in it...yeah...those walls would be liquid dark red.

It's threads like these that actually start the wars. Fangel, please send this to the graves before Xtweeterx, Sirius, Sandwich-Potato, Bitsbee, Zeddy and Fehzor come to this thread. I don't want another thread war to start.

Some people...

Are going to be having their finals next week, so they're a bit on edge.
But for me ...I'm trying to keep myself together since the end of the semester(which means finals) is only...19 school days away...
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME D:
Study, study, study...no time for fun...

stagnation

Well, there was an update that people were probably looking forward to that you know, got pushed back. CE prices are climbing and there hasn't been a very convincing promo to boost CE sales recently afaik. Lingering problems like the 5* heat droprate and lack of new content has older players feeling like well, like it's getting old.

It happens in the content-patch dry spells lol.

There are people who are legitimately addressing some concerns.
And then we have people who are only here to get their own names out in the open without actually contributing anything of value.

I don't wanna give spoilers but those two will clash.

Tired of these guys.

Attention seekers like sirius-voltbreaker, xtweeterx, annilaton.

That's the sole reason.

They just make threads for everything that comes to mind.

Which is bs.

Idc what you dreamt last night, idc if you took your 'job' too serious, idc if you make rip offs of other successful posts.

Discuss the game, not your crappy attempt for attention, if you wanna be someone, do something that's worth admiring you for.

You guys annoy the @$%$ out of me.

Everything I touch erupts into nuclear warfare.

It seems like the forums started to get a bit too on the negative side when I showed up. As usual, I carry the burden of video game poison with me where ever I go. It works kind of like this:

1. I find something interesting so I try it out.
2. Everything seems lovely and all is peaceful in the world.
3. Someone notices I'm here.
4. Negativity fills the air while I hide my face.
5. What ever I originally love either becomes A) Extremely overrated, B) Hated for any possible reason.

This is what has happened to everything that I have ever played in my life. Including Spiral Knights. But I'm going to stick around because I for one, still love everything about this game. If you have a problem with my theory well good! I'd happily accept that this isn't the case!

That's still some negative thoughts there

Sadness can't be hidden by rage. Rage usually hides sadness. When rage exists, sadness won't cease.

In other words, no, don't be the scapegoat.

Gotta agree with Scrio, those 3 forum posters kinda ruin the forums with their immature behavior and moronic posts. But lets be honest....according to the Gaussian distribution, with such a large number of forumers, it is statistically impossible to be idiot-free.

I still don't make threads all that much, and I would like this infamy and stereotyping to stop.

Now, if I was "Immature", I would have gotten a bit more in-game bans regarding the forums, threw insults at everyone and everyone's mother for having different tastes than me, probably wouldn't have met Annilaton and Sirius. had less time on the internet via parent troubles, and wouldn't be learning how to drive dad's truck with him.

I STILL want this to stop.

That was on November when we were having fun. Now everyone stereotyping me as "annoying" Sirius is the one making the threads while Anni is posting. I'm just sitting here doing what I do best: Read threads, post thoughts, make threads on a small basis only to get called "pointless", internally facepalm through my skull, play, sleep, repeat.

I dunno I've never felt very annoyed by those three posters in particular. I've also never felt that the Lockdown community was as toxic as people say it is (have you ever seen an internet "debate" about religion?). All posters contribute something to the forums. Imagine how boring these forums would be if we just talked about data and updates and gear imbalance (although some people might find that fun). There are people who contribute data, people who create deep thread topics, people who comment on these thread topic, and there are people who are there just to break up the flow a bit. While those three posters are a bit childish, they still bring their energy to these forums. Are they actually purposefully hurting anyone? I think they're a necessary part of the forums if only to add some randomness. I mean are you really seriously offended that someone made a thread about what they dreamed last night? Does that really make your blood boil?

I guess that is technically correct in post #19. Although 4 threads in 6 days is... cutting it close. Perhaps I should check outside the general discussion to see if you have one more?
EDIT: 1 more day grabs an additional two more threads.

The major problem that I see with your threads is they are normally misplaced (first link should have been in the update discussion, second link should have been in gremlin chatter, third in Colosseum), or uninteresting. I can't complain much about the uninteresting because thats a matter of my own preference (most of the threads here are uninteresting), but misplaced/useless threads I'm not a fan of. Especially when they're appearing at a rate double to triple the speed of other forum thread posters (that's not even counting the people that just post in threads instead of making threads).

Now back to the original post: I would argue that 2 of the 4 threads you made are negative (#2 and #3). I'm surprised you seem surprised that people call you out on this.

Also @Offense-Armor
I'd love threads about data. I've been hanging out in the wiki editing subforum for this reason.

Xtweeterx, the problem isn't that you make a lot of threads. The deal here is the way that your brain processes data and information to produce these fine picked threads. Oh, and the non-sense, you are a rich soil for it.

FINALLY! Someone other than Anni or Sirius that shares the same viewpoint! Though you may have forgotten a list of various complaints, but I'll let that slide.

Literally, I was about to quit the forums due to infamy (I still resigned). Every thread I make viewed as inane. Every post I make as some sort of trolling or joke, I just... Hate it.

Also, I would like to point out all of the posts that are possibly considered personal attacks such as "childish". insulting gifs, calling all of my threads inane, While I take no serious offense to these, I would like them to stop. I mean, Why would you hate someone for obeying the forum rules?

@Skepticraven

Yeah... I... Sort of make threads about the first thing(s) that come(s) to my mind. Sorry. I'll try to reduce rate next time. ^-^"

You asked for that, silly kid. :)

" I would like them to stop."

As if you stopped your crap when we asked you to.

"Why would you hate someone for obeying the forum rules?"

Forum rules? lol. You were TRULY the perfect example of a good citizen.

WARNING: DOUBLE POST STORY TIME!!!!!!!!

Once, there was a little orange snipe named Clyde. Clyde here liked to playfully chase around little knights. One day, a massive storm hit and Clyde was blown off into some other world. Lost and helpless, he searched for some clues as where to go. Clyde found a place labeled "ARCADE". Thinking it may have something to do with the arcade on Cradle, he flew in.

BUT SUDDENLY A RIFT IN SPACE HAPPENED!!!!!

Clyde was zapped into an arcade game, called Pac-Man. And that kids, is why the orange ghost has a very different name from the others.

Let's talk of the good things SK has, not the impending implosion of the forums!(Although Annilation called it about this thread. /clap)

Maybe?
Why not argue about personal color, sled use, chair funkiness level?

Give us a break, the forums are in a crappy car in traffic on a road trip.

What do hope to see in SK's future in terms of good stuffs?That's what we should be talking about, no?

Your Voltedge isnt safe.

Look Dragneel. I like you very much as a forumer, but you are constantly stopping me from looking up to you. When I see people like Zeddy You, or Bopp post,(before) I was always wanted to be like you guys, famous. But... I share no qualities like you guys. Eg. SK nerd, very good pvper, the only thing I have is a huge friend list. But I am officially infamous, and everyone hates me. I stopped wanting to get popular when in my school, I became very popular. I was hearing my name everuwhere. People were constantly bothering me about their problems ora secret or a crush etc. So I started being mean. Then, It transpired to me; heck, it is the internet! Someone who says theg will hunt me down has no hance of emulating that action anyway. So I embraced being infamous. I am like that celebrity thay no one likes. However they have some die-hard fans. A person like this could be Miley Cyrus.
