I originally was going to let it alone, but a lot of people are leaving as of right now, so I decided to address it.

The community is terrible.

There are no other words to describe it. It's plain and simple. A pattern is that the site becomes an absolute shitshow for a month or two, then it gets a 4-month break during which the ambiance is good.

For example : last year, the website got terrible in March-April due to me and another user repeatedly arguing. Times got better, until August-September in which there was the KirbyBoy drama and the site getting bad to the point we got new mods. We got the new mods, and in January-February the site got bad again.

But now it isn't stopping. An it's going downhill as we speak.

Why? Simply because people have mainly started to acknowledge it recently.

At the start of the year, we had Spheal, we had Lance, we had Kirbytriple, and Mike/Choco slightly. The latter two got better, the rest eventually got inactive, except for Lance/Cario. We had PokeGD, Cyclops and Fourner, three forum kids that really did not help. At the same time, Limey got banned for a really weird and serious "joke", while Krazey got banned as well for having slightly racist views in some toxic topic. At the same time, alexbeaup kept on spamming the meme topic. Coolmonkey gpt mad as well for a stupid joke that Nudge and Osc had made, and it eventually generated a whole drama where the whole community yelled stupidly.

But right now, the site is still going worse, with forum kids like ShortCut, while, despite getting banned quickly, add to that general feeling of bad ambiance.

Because back in 2022, a lot of games were ongoing on the forum. There was positive activity. I had a topic with endless questions, Nudge and Max hosted several gameshows... and that is why 2022 was a better year than 2023 or 2024 so far for me. Despite the general ambiance worsening, there was still some positivity to balance it out.

But now not anymore.

Some topics get created, debate gets sparked, and arguments eventually take place where they should not have. The Fornite topic. Respectful opinions that somehow provoked a fight and an user leaving, even if he did came back.

But why ?

Well, the staff's activity has been slowing down a tad. Some of the staff members are older than most, so they are already in high school, college or superior studies and have no business handling some kids yelling at each other. It's also exam time for most, so most admins are busy with real life issues and have no time for this. Max and Nudge do try to interact a bit, Ahmad and Tox sometimes check out what is going on, but for Wal and Mudky, we rarely see them around. Now I would like to clarify something, this is not a reproach : MKPC should not be important in someone's life when they are over the age of sixteen. But it explains as to why more forum kids are roaming around, and also the community really didn't acknowledge much until very recently, to the point where it is seemingly hard to go even lower.

No positive activity. The topics are boring. When one forum kid get banned, another takes his place. Bad players complaining about rd right as we speak (quite literally since I just answered a complaint on a different tab while writing this essay). And a bad ambiance overall. It's the forum kids against everyone. There is a report button, or there is something called constructive criticism. You can try once to make the forum kid understand. If they don't, report his next message. It seems logical.

But it's not in reality what occurs. What occurs is the users trying to fight the forum kids by screaming even more, creating an argument whereas it could've been avoided.

I am so tired of this. I don't even want the community to move along together anymore like in 2023. But as a French singer that I despise said...

We don't talk about a better world anymore, we just want to save this one.

Yeah. Making this community good again is impossible. Too much wrong has been done, and there are not enough solutions at the moment. But at least, let's try to make it bearable.

Wow man! That's rough, especially the fact this site is getting so toxic and aggressive nowadays. I just hope this game doesn't disappear in the future. This is such an incredible game, and I don't want this to end. 😞 Why do most people have to be so toxic? For real? This is stupid, ridiculous, and downright awful.
