Alright, I don't think people truly understand here why bzpower get so much hate. There are a variety of events that still leave very bad memories within the community. At some point, people need to talk about, and fix these. The first main even that angered people off was the censoring of all outbound links especially those pertaining to MOD. You can't keep on shoving MOD to the sidelines and pretending it doesn't exist (surprise it does). The fact is many of those core fans that influence the entire setting still hate bzp for that very decision. Next, if I remember correctly (forgive me if I don't) we did have a big problem with people that were not able to keep their mouth quite shut tightly on political and spiritual beliefs. Though we do occasionally hit that topic here, in the past I seem to remember multiple heated debates between not just users, but staff, on this board (BRB, MAKING YURI SIGNATURE). Finally, there were in the past (and still are now) some members here in high places that tend to make cults of personalities around themselves, leading them to be very self centered. I will not specify anyone here, simply out of respect, but this is the big whopper that send people out. Watch out for it, you can see it a lot. These key things were all a long time ago. I don't even remember my username from back then. I think we need to somehow re-make our public image from being a tight-knight group to a more open one. Edit: why is the word "" censored?
