I think discussion about this situation is good from time to time.
However, it doesn't seem to do much. When I first started here I was immature and well just didn't know about the internet and how to operate on it. I wouldn't call myself a well respected member overall as I still get heated up and argue about stupid things.
Anyway, I think the IPL and all that has attracted these members, the ammount of plagirising has risen so much that nobody does anything about it. That was a issue that was taken seriously befor. I also think that the PC community has grown a lot over the past year and a half and that could be the reason why we don't feel as close.
One final point, I think the uproar caused when duff got removed as admin was a big turning point in PC, in my eyes anyway. At the time I can't remembered if I disagreed or agreed with what happened, but all I know is that whole duff thing can be classed as the end of a certain PC era if you understand where I'm coming from?...

Yeah same for me. I looked back at some of my posts and they were cringe worthy. Then you had the me and Hooper stage where we just went spamming everywhere
Picture Thread ftw That, but I also think Black_Magic's IPL patch has also attracted these guys as well. I did speak to a certain globie (no names) and he said they were fully aware that so much stuff is being plagarised but there is just so much of it happening they can't stop them all. All I do see though, is people just requesting other people's stuff, hardly anyone creates anything. If I'm gonna be honest I think the community hasn't grown that much, however, it has split. You have the Indian new guys and then their is the rest. Of course you have people from the new Indian downloaders who are sound and good downloads (I never knew Black_Magic is such a pimp
) but the majority just spam away with their terrible posting and medicore downoads.Yeah an era came to an end at PC, but he did have to go. I have a feeling that whenever BLIC or EA (or even Mindstorm or TAOC) is released the community will bounce back to the way it was. I'm not saying the old guys will return, but I think it might be what can bring everyone together
Anyway, why are you bumping my old, moan posts?

The downloads section is in horrible condition. Almost no one creates anything. People just request other people to do something for them, compile them in a patch and release them as their own. Most don't even get released anyways. Its horrible to see posts like this.
True!Quite true
I too made a downloads thread being inspired by Hitty and Saurabh.First thing I released was a Future Group stump.That was not quality but OK.Then when I made a KFC stump pretty bad.So I decided not to flood the downloads forum with some crap.I haven't visited the downloads forum much after Arko,Shubh and Hitty left patching.After they left the posts just started getting horrible
I haven't visited the downloads forum lately. Occasionally checking BM's patch though.He and Appu are the only quality guys left

I reckon the state of the downloads thread is largely due to the state of cricket games. Cricket 2007 and BLIC 2007 weren't very addictive or anything, and nobody is really that keen to play it these days. Even less people are keen to update it. The downloads thread is always going up and down.
I say that everyone should get around the general subforum. I don't very often, but when I do, that's the best one here. If you don't want to talk cricket, but would rather just talk general rubbish, go in there, some of the threads are great fun.

This also led me to leave patching. I remember making a kit pack for Tom. Now most of the patchers are idiots. Though some like BM, Aamir and Punk are still there. The download section is probably the most worse & I guess it will remain so until next EA's cricket game.

One of the reason Honestly for me to leave is because of some new members with the sort of question the ask before reading the read me or the first post of the thread. I can understand they are new but still it's common sense
So lazy they are they download the content but they want it ready made without the actual process of using it :

Exactly, and the mostly poor audience is the reason I'm not excited about my Mod Manager v2 release either, even though I've worked for days on it.

Hope after the release of Bm's PC patch the use of MM will increase and every one will know the easy use of it .
i agree as well. Most new members do not know much english and seem to open multiple threads about the same thing. They need to read the rules before posting and learn how to act on a forum before joining. I have been on many forums before and learnt there.
Before i joined PC i spent 1/2 months surveying PC to see what the rules are and how it works. I love this forum and believe that i am a good member. (well
Im not suggesting a enterance exam, but we do need a way to stop new members joining without reading the rules and spamming.

Not being able to speak English properly is one thing and can be accepted to some extent, but being totally stupid and senseless as a person is another.

I just thought I'd leave my usual forum sections and see whats going on in PC as a whole.
When I mentioned the end of the era thing, I didn't mean it was an end of an era because Duff had been removed, I meant it because after that whole saga things changed at PC, the way things happened just changed.
I remember back in the day (well 2006) when people used to release patches there used to be excitment, like when Boss would release his patches. So what I mean by this is that I don't think it's a case of no cricket game being released, seeing as I joined 2006 and Cricket 2005 had been out for ages.
End of discussion here, that's it! I don't know about others as everyone has their own opinions or thoughts but after Duff left that was the end of PC for me. Everything has changed since then and it has become utterly boring!
