I very much agree. I know what it's like to leave a dev. scene in disgust (I got sucked in at the very beginning of the TI graphing calculator craze seven or eight years ago, back when I was a lowly high school freshman, and left the scene in '99, appalled by the overwhelming immaturity and absurd personal attacks between various parties in what was supposed to be a mutually beneficial learning experience). It's very disheartening, and it took me a very long time to want to have anything to do with an online community like this again.
So yeah. I just started posting here last week, but I've been reading the site and browsing the forums for a year and a half now, and while it's not without fault, this is a MUCH more friendly and supportive bunch than the calculator folks. No community--traditional or net-based--is going to be completely without friction, and I'm sure everyone either has done or will do something stupid or ill-conceived at some point.
Here's my support.
And just so this isn't COMPLETELY off-topic:
MetaFox: if you want some help with the zine, I'd be more than glad to contribute written articles or interviews or something like that...or perhaps if you just need a proofreader. My top priority in regard to the DCDev scene is Castlevania, but I think I can set aside a little time to help a worthy cause if need be
