The difference is, back on MM and the PS2 days, we had so many different people starting tourneys to get the place going. Off the top of my head we had Rob, Mellow, Hoagie, JTC, myself, Poo Diddy, Dave and others starting tournaments all the time to keep the place active. Now it seems that people just wait for myself or Houtz to start something or everyone just kind of sits on their hands and complains.
We need everyone to pitch in to keep the place active, not just rely on 1 or 2 people to keep things afloat. We need others to pick up the slack if we're not around. But then again you can't force people to play a game they don't enjoy.
