I remember the day of 1.18x Flashlight. I think what happened is obvious when you consider Flashlight's current modifier.
The final straw for me as far as actually being semi-active on osu! went was when I saw newfags going, "#MODHELP IS FOR MODDING AND MAPPING TALK DON'T HAVE ACTUAL DISCUSSIONS IN HERE HURDY DURR." No, that wasn't the fucking idea. That wasn't the fucking point of the split. The split happened because mod requests were hard to find at times due to the community that was in #mod having all sorts of discussion. The idea was that instead of attempting to just kick people out of #mod to solve that, instead we could retain that community while still accomplishing the goal of making it easier to find the mod requests. This also had a much higher chance of actually working. #modHelp was actually called #modCommunity for a couple minutes but it was discovered that #modCommunity did not fit. I wanted #modChat I think but #modHelp won. Still not a big deal.
...Until people started mistaking it as a topic channel when it was intended as a community channel. /rant
I miss those days too. My proposal was pretty much, "Have the #mod community be in one channel with the requests in another to be organized. Hell, people can even refer to their mod request that's in #modreqs in #modcommunity." Though IIRC my actual post is something that I don't want to read again because I was in a bad mood for some reason and the actual post was fucking embarrassing. And I can't remember if I actually said that last bit.Ephemeral wrote:
I remember #mod before the split, those were the glory days.
