You sir, are a paragon of positiveness!

We all know that the word "fail" is used extensively in a lot of online communities, guys. Stuff like: u fail. fail this. fail that. epic fail. People like to call others out when they don't succeed on something and I don't know about you, guys, but I think that's BS. On top of that, man, I think the people who use these phrases a lot are afraid of trying to be great themselves! You see, guys, what got me thinking about this whole matter is the fact that when I come to Dust 514 forums, man, I see a lot people saying stuff like: "I can't wait to see CCP fail!" or "CCP is a fail company!" What really pisses me off about this whole fail movement is the negativity, man, cause you guys know I'm a positive guy!

Let's talk about CCP for a moment cause we're on Dust 514 forums after all. These are guys who created EVE online from nothing just by having a vision, putting in the hours, working without pay sometimes and believing in the product, man! And, guys, they made all of this while working on a game that nobody else believed has a snowball's chance in hell, because it was the kind of game that had never been done before, and they had some pretty tough competitors working on somewhat similar games. Now they're trying to do something new and groundbreaking again with Dust 514. And some of you guys are calling these guys out for "failing"... I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks that's both weird AND ****** up!

At the end of the day, guys, I guess you could say someone fails at making a game when the game doesn't make a lot of money, but the only way one can fail at life is by never trying to go out there on the line of fire, and trying to do something hard! So stop calling people "fails", stop watching fail compilations and most importantly stop being afraid of failure. Instead of that, look at the people who have succeeded (like CCP) and go out there and be successful yourself.

I remember the days when when Eve Online had a **** ton of problems and people kept saying that it's "adapt or die" nature will be its downfall. That was back in 2008 when I first started.

Trying to shine some light in the darkness that is the forums, eh?

Sadly the trolls out-number these folks and multiply like ****-roaches. Saddens me to be called a troll sometimes and get compared to such squabble.

And I rather enjoy my word fail. Take yourself for example - your first appearance about AFK was littered with fail. You brought up women in derogative ways and fought people who supported the idea of AFK being removed - which was your platform.

Since then you've learned how to fail less after experiencing such fail - and you've grown for it. Now you can reach out to people without getting negative responses.

Fail - not such a bad thing.
