If Dinsdale cares, it must be important...

Um, no... good riddance...

He was a content creator in his own way.

But if yet another enjoyable EVE blog pops up to replace his, than all is good imo. Circle of life and all that.

He was giving the impression of running around in circles and grasping at straws in his latest 'opinion' posts, anyway.

Although I like that Erotica is no longer part of the eve community, Jester will always be remembered for being a whiney carebear to me, and is the antithesis of the spirit of eve. The reason people like eve is that the community are treated like adults, not kids that need to be given a cookie when they make a mistake and start to cry. I didn't listen to the audio clip, as I don't want to waste my time listening to the garbage which Erotica spews. Everyone else should have just done the same.


Your opinion tells more about you than about Ripard... What?

Me too...

It tells me Madalyn is wise beyond her years....

EvE's own NIgel Farrage is stopping his hateful blog?

Nice

But is he biomassing? That's the news all us cool cats want to hear.

Of course, this is a Dino Palamino thread, so it should probably just be reported for rumour mongering, but even a clock wrapped in tinfoil that rants nonsense about skyfolk is right twice a day. If its broken, of course.

Wow. Ive often noticed how the supposedly griefer-dominant community of Eve really only exist in the forums itself. Sure, there are griefers in the game, but you are always given ways around them, or through them by the game mechanics. Never has someone ruined my day if it wasnt partly my own fault.

But those forums? Im sorry to say, but most people commenting here are a collection of ********* and most of them represent themselves in nearly every thread that comes along. If I were a potential new player and had a look at the forums first (which are public) before trying the game itself (which you have to download and register for first), I would shy away in an instant.

My god, people...

Back on topic: Ripard, all the best to you. Your blog was, for better or worse, always an interesting read!

Speaking as a *********, its this attitude that brings out our vitriol.

Is there really any need for it? Don't be a ********* if you plan on calling others out on it.

If a prospective player finds the strong opinions expressed in a forum too much for their delicate sensibilities, the complexity, depth and cold unforgiving world of EvE is probably not for them anyway.

Also, EvE forums are no better or worse than any forums. Infact, they are a damn sight more relaxed than any forums about RL issues I have seen, and not much different from any other gaming forums.

If anything, ban forums.

Why, because we all not fawning over Ripard???

OMFG look at all these cruel people saying that they don't care about some random dude who is stopping making crappy blogs.

Good riddance. No one ever drumbeat harder about the "EVE is dying" rhetoric, not even Dinsdale. Nevermind the incessant, incredibly obnoxious carebear advocacy.

Worrying about facts like this (PCU trend) and this (New character trend) is not "drumbeating" bad news.






Q: Should we be worried? A: Nope. (...) Worry a lot if Fozzie, Masterplan, Rise, Veritas, Bettik, Ytterbium, Scarpia, Arrow, or even Greyscale leaves. Worry a little if Punkturis, karkur, SoniClover, Affinity, Goliath, or Xhagen leaves.

While I often disagreed with Ripards views about some aspects of Eve, it's kind of sad to see him stop blogging, at least he isn't Gevlon. Some of his posts were and still are quite helpful when it comes to trying out new stuff.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Thanks, random NPC alt! Your participation in these forums is both valued and warranted.

This is obviously not true. Try asking for help in New Citizens Q&A, W&T, Market, Skill, Ships&Mods or Industry subforums. Everybody will go out of their way to help you.

GD is a bit different, sure Lol but there are lots of smart, funny and helpful posters here too.
