For everyone making suggestions for how we can keep the site running, the mods have no say in the decision. We appreciate how much Salvation means to you. Unfortunately, the site owner said that this decision is final.
The next incarnation may not be named Salvation, but staff will do their best to make sure you aren't disappointed.

May 29, 2019RabidVacin posted a message on The End of an EraPosted in: ArticlesQuote from Galspanic »About 4 years later than I thought it would sink (seeing the site bought by an Alabama based online gaming site? I mean....), but I'm still sad to see it die off.
As long as Reddit is unusable and Facebook is Facebook I'll probably hover around whatever is next.

Each one of us frequents different forums and subforums on this board. Your perception of this board depends on which forums you frequent. If the only boards you frequent are Rumor Mill, Standard, and Debate, then you probably think this forum is full of elitists. If you are like me and frequent MTG Casual, Music, and MTG General, then you probably think this forum is full of nice people.
I thought I was worse than the average casual player because I compared myself to the others on the Casual boards. But I just stopped by my community college to pick up my graduation stuff and there was a group playing. Just by glancing what was in play, I could tell that most of my decks would crush theirs. I asked if they had been playing for awhile and they said they had.
I know this doesn't really prove anything, but it helped me to realize that most of the people on the Casual boards are probably much better than the average casual player.
You think it is way too easy to get 4 specific cards in your opening hand? You might want to do the math.

1. Cracking packs instead of buying singles. I know there is no practical reason to buy packs outside of drafting, but I'm addicted to the surprise factor.
2. Not taking apart any of my decks no matter how bad they seem. If I come up with a deck idea that seems good, but ends up being terrible, I will keep trying to improve it instead of taking it apart. I've had decks that were bad for years before they started to show improvement.
I would add Merieki Ri Berit but I don't think the three colors would make the cut.

I really wish that things didn't get heated. I think we could have made some headway with our differences of opinion. I'm sure the lonely gentleman could have responded with his opinion on the culture in Russia. I'm sorry that you feel you had to step down as a result of this situation.
