To me, it sounds like the same kind of fervent pessimism and borderline weeping that Dye says people are justified in having. Sure, at the time people were getting warned/punished, but it was also well within the rules to punish/warn people for that action at that time. However, now that it's no longer a violation to post in an 'old' thread if you have worthwhile content, some people are nonetheless convinced that it's just a ruse, and that 'certain people will never change' and punish people anyways (i.e., someone's taking a potshot at Mahn, possibly because he enforced the rules in the past and happened to zap that someone or a friend of that someone). Really, it smacks of a grudge to me.

Well, according to alot of other people who used to play, waiting for V8 became a problem. The long wait is a hectic tie on those who used to play and post. Since, nothing was new anymore, they stop coming around.

There is that, yes, but Effect's reasoning seems to be more along the lines of "Mahn punished people who posted in old threads, so no one posts anymore. What, the rule that Mahn was properly enforcing was changed? Doesn't matter, he'll act like it wasn't changed anyways and the forums will still be dead." It's like people are accustomed to being coddled by their peers, and they flip out when one of those peers basically says "You did something wrong, life sucks sometimes, so face your punishment." They look at that and decide "What the christ, that guy/girl is obviously just out to ruin the fun for myself and others, this world is so unfair and corrupt."
