The State of the Servers

All I'm asking is what can we do retain the integrity of our community as it continues to grow?

This is a really tough question.  I seen alot of clans/guilds/whatnot struggle to deal with growing pains like most of us are becoming cognizant that brbu is in store for.  Someone gets the bright idea that we need more rules, and that they should be enforced better, some other people get butt hurt and leave/get thrown out, and the community changes in a profound way.  I wouldn't actually be too scared of this happening, because I'm not sure there is really anything you can do to stop it.  Relish the time when things where simple, and everyone got along.  You can't police the populace more than you have been, the soft handed administrative approach is one of the things that makes the brbu communities what they are, but if you don't police the populace, it will destroy itself, so you have a fairly classic problem here. Enjoy, (goes best with popcorn).

Growing pains indeed.

I've been playing with many of you lot since shortly after Caff originally started #1, and in those few months have already seen the community change repeatedly. Change is going to happen, it's a part internet life as much as it's a part of real life. The good times never last, but you gotta remember that there's always the possibility for more good times.

I would like to add another caveat to this, please seed #1 first, if you ever see it dip below like 12 people, please switch servers. In terms of new people coming into the community the vast majority come off #1 or #3.

Customs attract better and more highly skilled players, but they're only going to join if theres already people in the server.

Yes plz. Seed #1, it's a better server.  =D

Seriously.  All you fgts that run off to server 2 can diaf.  Aside from the shitty lineup, I can't play on that one D=.

[/quote]because it's still nice to have at least 2 proper servers full, even if #2 is all scrubs who aren't that great at the game. if they see we're nice they'll come back and get better by playing with us and then #2 might end up bringing more good players to brbu.

I came here from the 360 version in january (I think) and Ive done ok. People cant be bad to long. If we get good personalities here than they will play a lot and become at least mediocre enough to make fun of the newer people on server 2
