Why does everyone complain about it? It as if there no other teams that were able to be posted in or something.

Nah originally there was really big divide between Teams RP's and FF&RP Rp's, like massive standards difference which scared of peoples from teams and essential created the while sometimes fun but incredibly hard to follow and random *** and easy role play teams became notorious for

Now that I look back over the years I've been here — my own ten-year mark is coming up soon — nearly all of the communities governed by Web Media Network have been insular and probably came off as esoteric to someone who would otherwise have come for video game information and help. Part of this has been the limited visibility of the forums on the main site, another part was that members of Gaming Update who frequented previous forums that had been set up under the SuperCheats banner wanted to put this incarnation of the forums on a pedestal. Yet another was that the one thing the idea of a forum had going for it when these forums were opened nine years ago (nine!) was that regular submitters like myself already had a sense of camaraderie developed on the Questions and Answers columns.
As far as Teams and Clans were concerned, they did bring much-needed traffic to the forums, but only as long as they were confined to one part of the message board. Once we set aside a different section for the forums, however, the life of Teams and Clans was artificially extended whilst the main forums, having been seen as full of rules, relics, and rosaries, died out. Derek, for one, sort of perpetuated this; he's even gone as far as to rally Teams regulars against the main forum moderators while at the same time asking me, who have generally refused to join any teams, for advice. It's not that I resent Teams and Clans at all; it's that moving them to a place that was essentially the Wild West and was prone to being surpassed by Facebook or Twitter accelerated the death of the community as a whole.

I have to agree considering we're a gaming community hosting an open rally for anything goes chat/support groups subsidiary that is or to be more proper WAS Teams and Clans. Derek was one of those free spirited typical teenagers who would do something as redundant and destructive as turn the Forums and Teams against eachother, I'm surprised he made it to the rank of Super Moderator with the way he was always clowning around. To think about it right diving Teams and Forums goers against one another is like creating civil war and ultimately helped bottom out the site, although the staff back then also contributed to it, the staff we have now are the best and the brightest of the site, these are the guys who promoted life to the forums unlike the 300 mods that were hired by activity usually since we needed so damn many. To say the least if we could reproduce the same amount of activity as say 2-3 years ago we'd be doing quite well .
^Yes, I made this^

Derek was actually Admin for a bit. And let's not completely discredit him; he was one of our most active members and contributed a lot to the site. He just had different ideas as to how things should be run (which didn't exactly sit well with the 'old guard', the mods and upper staff who had been around since before the Teams split) and he had the complete support of the Teams posters - especially the "burrows" as I believe neptis calls them, the members who had never even visited the Forums - and that led to clashes.
I agree with Crossy, even though I had to Google a few of the words he used.

He's #2. He did a ton of videos and answers.
The guy that's #1 is an actual employee who writes the game guides I believe.

I'm pretty sure Vasco has the most overall, with something ridiculous like 28,000. Of active members, I'm not sure. Me maybe.
