Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Look at Tako's post. He does a great job with explaining things.Addition v2:
Holy cow. Tako, you are right on spot about the community.

The funny thing is how what your message said is the way I feel about other things, too. That is kind of how I feel people reacted to Windows 8. I see Windows 8 as giving so many features (SkyDrive sync, unified platform experience, free 8.1 update, I could go on) and different ways of computing, and here we are with all of the bashing of Microsoft (Headline: Surface Pro with full Windows OS on discount, but a cheap android/Google tablet is better) and hating of the Start Menu and the hundreds of thumbs-ups when people say "WINDOWS 8 IS (insert expletives here)!!!" without any intelligent discussion, and we complain about these things so much that we are blinded to the other features.
I know I'm getting a little off-topic, but what you said is true and sad. I do think the community lost something. I also think that Chris should've seen it coming, too. My main guess is that this happened in part because of the lack of updates for five(?) months, and lack of updates with guaranteed positive reception (world portals, invisible portals, text signs, zombies(?), etc).
So this is where EE is now, and I don't know down which rail we are going.
I'm not a BIG fan of Windows 8, but I think you're kinda right about it. Good job on trying to relate it with this problem.
Yeah, I wasn't trying to make a sidetopic, I wanted to compare it to something that I knew about so people can see my point of view. It seems more similar every time I think about it.

Seriously guys, its a game. Chris made it to get money. He didn't make it for people to play for free. He didn't make it especially for this specific community to enjoy. He made it for profit, and probably for experience.
No, that's completely incorrect. He did create it for the users. It was originally a test game that people enjoyed. He didn't start trying to gain profit off of it until his donation campaign went successfully.
You can see this if you actually look at the past. He didn't create it for experience at all, he was well knowledgeable with Flash beforehand.

Anyway, yes, changes galore, some insanely game changing. It's scarcely the same game anymore, but at least we get some (some) diversity in levels now, except stairs stairs stairs stairs. Now we have stairs zombies stairs zombies.
Yay....
Zombie made stair babbys which then created more bots.

That doesn't change my point though.
Whatever his original intent was (which I still think was profit), the game DID turn into a moneymaking machine. Its natural. Obviously they're going to want money from a game that became successful. Nobody is forcing you to play, and nobody is forcing you to buy the ridiculous things such as builders club, or even worse, that stupid diamond block.
Also, may I ask where you found out for certain that he didn't originally make the game with a goal of profit in mind?

snip or whatever
the new updates sure brought a lot of lag, just saying... it would be nice to play with spikes and fire but that just can't be done with the gamebreaking lag... and because i need to pay to get enough of them -.-

We do need a lag fix update. As for energy cost, they could be lowered some. Even if it became 800 energy for 10 that would help a lot.
