HBH members
I haven't been on the site for a while, but when I left, I felt that the community had respect for a few members Some of those members were: Moshbat, Futility, and Spyware. After reading a number of posts, however, I have come to the conclusion that these people are being looked down upon by many members, including each other.
What happened while I was gone?
This is usually how it goes in life, some people do something to anger others and thus lose respect; meanwhile, others gain some. There are still quite a few respectable members here, including the ones you mentioned and most of them aren't exactly sitting on top of pedestals looking down on eachother while trying to be the best either. Not to mention that there are a handful of new ones, if we're now going to bust out the respect measuring scale and compare size with eachother.
Speaking of which, where the fuck did kiyoura go? He was my biggest fan :(
Edit for the ones who can't be arsed understanding the above text: @OP: I totally understand exactly what you're talking about and agree with it, but you're completely wrong and I miss kiyoura.

I'm pretty sure he ditched us for HTS. I haven't heard from him since he nabbed dev rights over there.

Note: things change. Always. The longer you're gone from a place, the more alien it will seem when you return. Subtle changes are magnified by your flawed remembrance of past events and you often try to draw conclusions before you're really ready to.
Or maybe there was a single event that occurred a few months ago that was amazing and spectacular that you'll never hear about and will be referenced all the time making you feel left out and lonely.
@s3klyma: why does your sig have Spy's quote but credited to Zeph? :-/

Everyone, Spyware == XX.
(Structure of Chromosomes)[/quote] Lauren can be a guy's name too. I've met a few with that name.
This thread has gotten way off topic.
EDIT: and I believe the "s" in spy's quote was meant to indicate that his name is Laurens.

The site itself has definitely changed since I was last here however, with lots of new challenges and stuff so it's pretty cool :) Hmm. In a thread about users… You mention challenges? [/quote] I was just talking about the site changing as a whole, and since I was never really a part of the community I thought I would just mention features of the site changing such as challenges. I know it was a little off-topic, but I didn't see it as much of a problem to offer my views on the site itself changing.
