I've been a member in several forums before -
The moment they began opening limited entrance threads was the moment they began to die. It was a mattar of a month or two until the entire community turn from large nunber of members to those few who were allowed full access to the forums.
On the other forums I was a member I didnt really cared, I just stoped visiting them, just like every one else.
But in here I do care.
I have been a WC fan from the day the I first saw the game, and with Origin dying this is the only place on the web that really keeps the community glued together.
Don't kill the CIC.
You want to discuss somthing out of us low-ranking members knowing of it? fine, just do it without rubing our noses in it!
What is the goal in opening a thead "Ultra-top-Hush-Hush project only we can talk about and you can't" ?
