Just to clarify since I’m running the site. Anyone and everyone is welcome. There’s no harsh moderation for either side of an issue. You’re welcome to come tear Brink a new one. There’s even a chat room your free to go to and have it out if regular old forum pvp isn’t good enough for you.
We all agree there’s things that need fixing - body types, highlighting/buffing/rez, spread, weapons, universal f key, 1st person spectating, demo record, etc. I’ve read all the threads about these issues here and can’t help but agree that many of these changes would be good for the game.
I mainly made the site as an easier way for players to connect with one another. In these SD forums things just get jumbled and mixed up. For example, the Community Night, I need PS3 Friends, etc. threads jump all over the place and fall off the first page. I felt that something both more informal (looser moderation) and more structured (central location for user ID’s for each platform) would be useful. At the same time I’m easy to get a hold of in order to make changes to the site for the users and deal with any issues that arise (none so far even in the PC/Console beef thread). In addition, modifying my forums is way easier for me than any SD staff as they are hard at work on the game (hopefully).
Despite the site’s focus on Brink now, we do play other current games and are planning for games in the future so the site will change over time as its users needs change. This also means that even if you absolutely hate Brink, sold your copy, etc. there’s still a place for you on RIF and players for you to connect with.
Hopefully this serves to clear up any misconceptions that may have arisen. Or it could have been completely unnecessary, but either way…BUMP
