Before i begin, any comment about spelling or grammar will be ignored. I believe the reason the new players are not filling the shoes of the elititsts of the past, is that they have grown dependant. I believe we agree that what makes an elitist is a sharp mind with original ideas, these days people are doing only what they see that works on the forum or what is discussed here. And i believe we know what happens to that knowledge, (see entropy lich FAQ) if someone pulls something original it is inmediatly brought here, discussed and spoiled reducing the idea to a minimun of effectiveness. Knowledge brought here often becomes common knowledge aswell, and people start to copy and become complaisant no longer thinking new ways of doing things, but instead they try to copy, or if they want to try something new they are too afraid to do it by themselves and is brought here for discussion, again ruining its effectiveness. what do you think about this? thormakar
