I know what you mean... I almost didn't want it to be canon... and now with the influx of noobs trying to catch up (because you KNOW many won't have the patience/intelligence to check the LGPedia or earlier posts) and cluttering the board with "can u help me im a noob and cant speel" posts while veterans try to work out future puzzles I almost want to call it quits myself. This ALMOST sickens me. Really. I"m all for new people, don't get me wrong, but let's admit it- this world as a whole is not that intelligent and you're going to spend more time redirecting people to info threads than you will trying to find all the clues.

I knew Op was just a character from the start- I always had a feeling it was several different people to begin with- but even still I feel like going canon almost cheats the veterans who are used to interacting with Op. As someone else mentioned, Op may not have time to do that anymore, thus making it less personal, thus furthering the loss of interest.

Bah.
Thanks for seeing my point, and im sure its shared by many. :(

Even if the new people are all very intelligent and are not asking for help or directions where to find what, there will probably be many new people and that means it could get a lot more chaotic and less personal around here.

I have to say I am really new , but at the same time I have begun to email OP and talk to him/er and I always get a personal response and normally its pretty funny..... I just dont want this new found fun to be stripped away by people who didnt really look for anything to get to it... I mean now its practically handed to you

Don't be so presumptuous. Whoever said OpAphid = the Creators?
goes with my point; what if OpAphid wasn't ORIGINALLY the official arg, but they decided "hey, we like it and wanna help out"?

What do you guys think?
Not so. Most of us are from the CiW group and we are mostly adults. We feel so warm and welcomed, btw. :sic:

This whole thread summarizes nicely why I think this whole thing is a mess and why I'm not going to step in that pit. Have fun "veterans". :roll:

Why to a sense a wee bit of hostility in this thread? It's going both ways and should stop since we're gonna be working together once the ball get rolling again.
