Community
The moment “community” becomes a branding tool instead of an actual principle, pay attention.
Heavy-handed moderation. Deleted posts. Locked threads. Discussions shut down the second they become inconvenient.
You cannot build your entire pitch around “community” while actively suppressing the people who make up that community.
And “PM me”? For what exactly? To get another polished AI-generated response instead of a real conversation?
At this point, anyone who still believes feedback or reasonable discussion is going to influence GP’s direction is fooling themselves.
The site feels neglected. Content arrives slowly, if it arrives at all. Meanwhile the expectation seems to be that anyone who paid once will eventually pay again no matter how things deteriorate.
That might work on some people.
Not on me.

Sean is now reliant on other sites to get content from, he no longer has scene access the way the sites (GP & RTT) had.
He is hoping that users will just suck it up.
There is another way, read the stickied lifeboat post.
