You say that as if we only care about Oddworld, and our eyes are glued to the computer screen every waking moment. You also speak as though we aren't intelligent, which is something I don't altogether respect.
And I'm not attacking you, whatever you may believe. This is a discussion, and we all have opinions that differ. What may have semeed like attacking was merely posting an opinion or an idea. I respect you in the sense that you want to move on to somehting really big, and something really successful. That's great! More power to ya'. But you take things we say as being attacks on your ship. The reason a lot of people get upset with you is that you assume too much of others, just as you think we assume too much of you.
And to that sentance, " I could stand my ground just fine without standing together." I'm sure you could stand by yourself, and you seem to be doing pretty well too, but when you originally posted the whole Nazi illustration to persuade Hobo to stay with the idea, it seemed like you wanted him to stand with you. As with anything I may say, it could possibly be wrong and I could possibly be mislead. If so, I'm sorry.
And I understand that you want to make a forum about creative gaming, with some really great titles, and some really great ideas.
But something that is getting me is... why us? Why did you come here? Have you gone to other sites with about the same thing, or did you just want to start here? Please don't take this as an attack, as it isn't, but it's been a question that has been bugging me for a while now. And especially with a few of your more recent statements:

Furthermore, this is no longer about some move to save oddworld forums from a hypothetical demise. This is just a move I'm proposing because I thought THIS was the place to do it. It doesn't matter if this forum succeeds or dies...

I refuse to confine myself to this one thing. Staying with one idea is to invite your own death as a growing individual entity.

I actually originally intended my proposal as a move to safeguard the destruction of this place. Seeing as how Alcar will never give it up (good for you man), the reaction of certain members, and most importantly how this thread has evolved...the intent of my proposal has evolved with it. Now it's just my idea for the sake of it's mission (which no longer centers around saving this site) (not to imply this site needs saving). tee hee
