Sure there are few that did come and sure there are also not all normal players part of us but how you suppose to work when you dont know what ppl want which are not really here. Its like you want to govern africa with seat of government in alaska. almost impossible! So the mappers and dev ppl can include opinions of all players registered here and actively voting and contributing and the rest - sad to say something like that - thats just their own fault!
I just quote myself:

Its really just the way it is - ppl who are interested can come here and say what they want to be changed but not AFTER this whole stuff is outdated already.
If a person decides not to come here and says "wth they wont listen to me and they dont care anyways" then that person has bad luck by thinking that way.
I think i can speak for every single serious community member that noone who is polite and reasonable and constructive will ever be banned or flamed or mobbed for any reason. Thats just it and if you cant accept that - Im very sorry for you but thats just the truth.
Here's what I see from the timeline:
1: "Why do you play High Bounty?" (http://btanks.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2687) is posted.
2: "Why High Bounty will be removed." (http://btanks.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=2730) is posted.
3: Annabot advertises people to come to the boards.
If you can, please recheck those topics - there were quite a bit, not a few, who gave their thoughts on the decision, reasons why they liked playing the mode, and some possibilities of how to make improvements. Keep in mind "Why HB will be removed" came well before Annabot's advertisement to save HB - throughout the whole subject matter the DevTeam made it clear that HB would not return. From the get-go it wasn't the HBers choice, the "whole stuff was outdated" well before most people received notice. That said, there was decent amount of constructive feedback given - enough to give an idea on where to start with a possible new mode.

when i came to the library today it said the ip was banned for a month...
i didnt receive any warnings
Sorry, I guess it wasn't my place to give you that security. I agree you should have been warned first - but that wasn't my call... I guess you made the right choice :| .
Your choice to compare the Mappers/Devs to Bush and insulting their intentions; however, is more like flaming and slander than presenting an argument. That isn't acceptable and was probably why your IP got banned... It would have sufficed to point out there was little discussion and debate before the removal of HB - leave politics and that other junk out of this.
I dont see how it was insulting their intentions. If their intentions are dishonest than how else can you shed a light on it? All i did was paint a picture and illuminate the possibilities. The comparisons between the situations are the real disturbing problems.
