Now, it's not the first time something like this happens on MPL.
People, not only M4E, need to learn that this is the internet and people from all around the world have access to it. You'll eventually meet someone who doesn't really like you for whatever reason or has a different opinion than yours. Opinions collide all the time and how you deal with it really just depends on your person. The right thing is just to accept it and not make a huge deal because someone thinks differently. Move on and all should be fine.
Then, about the divisions... All I see is complete stupidity. The MPL community has always been one, yes there's the site and forum, but one could not exist without the other. The forum has always been the place for actual discussions, for events, activities and what will happen next with the community. While the site is more of a ''newspaper'' for the Nintendo games. I'm going to be totally honest here, but you can't really have activities or discussions on the site. Finding an interesting topic is just plain hard and having to scroll all the way down to find a comment can result in being annoying and tedious. Mostly when most of the comments are out of context, spam and unrelated to the topic. Though, people have managed to integrate themselves and make ''friends'' and that's totally fine now and I see no problem there. Just that when it comes to having big discussions and planning activities, I don't think the comment section of the site is the place.
Next, a lot of people are making a huge deal out of this. Someone left and so what? People leave all the time. Like I said, this is the internet and eventually someone will stop coming to the community. Whatever are the reasons. Some members have left the forum and do I miss them? Hell yeah, but I won't go out and make a huge speech about it as if that person was dead. I'll just come out as childish and honestly, stupid. People have to learn to let go and go on with their lives. Whether the leaving member wants to keep contact with you or not is at their own discretion. If that person doesn't want to have anything to do with the said community, then let it be. That person knows exactly why they're leaving and it's probably for the best. People will come and go. This will always happen. This is an ONLINE community. There's nothing you can do other than message people.
One last thing, some people have said bad things about the forum. Only because they cannot agree on something with a member of the community and other reasons. That's just plain sad and makes you look bad. Then don't come crying because someone ''attacked you''. Deal with the consequences.
Drama happens all the time and it won't stop. I know a lot of you are young, but y'all need to grow some balls and learn.
Thank you very much.
