I have rejoined the site under this account, having previously played on here up until about 2012. It was a pretty big culture shock when other players responded to my wallposts by telling me not to do that, with some even finding me scummy for it! They believed I was obfuscating my intentions through posts that were too wordy. There are several little differences between the way things were done before compared to how they are now, this however is probably by far the biggest, at least that I've noticed so far. I guess it's a bit like walking into the old, traditional pub in the town you grew up in, except it's now a trendy gastropub and the nice warm fireplace in the corner has now been replaced by a whacking great tele with Sky Sports on it.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing though, for one I quite like gastropubs, and in the same way I don't think the change is necessarily a bad thing. I haven't noticed much functional difference in the manner of the posts, just that they are now split up as opposed to in one big block. I was advised to adapt the way I posted to reflect this change, I have and people actually seem to be more receptive to what I'm trying to say now. I would definitely argue it was my responsibility to adapt to the way things are done now as opposed to asking everyone else to change to suit how I feel things should be done. The game is still just as fun as it was back then even though things have changed somewhat.
Just my two cents really
