Nostalgia. What makes the old better than the new?

Everything is fine, Liz. Only certain things from real life affect me, and even then, I don't really regret that they happened. The "Flood" section is more dead than alive, so what? This has happened many times before, and the world hasn't ended. Everything is subject to cycles, so there's nothing to worry about.

Yes, I remember Al predicting the decline of Heroes of Might and Magic in 2009, but then a new cycle of activity started almost immediately. But either way, the old-timers lose interest in certain things – for example, tournaments, flood games, certain discussions, etc. This cannot be brought back with a new cycle. And it's all because you need to move on, which, given the limited resources for online communication, is somewhat difficult. In short, new features don't come out every day. But daily news can certainly replace them, but unfortunately, we are not a forum. Well, I don't know, Sivvi, it all seems sad. Maybe it really is worth growing. But you, for example, still visit, even though you have a job.
Regarding real life, this is of course a more pressing issue... but for me, it is more connected not with events, but with different groups I was a part of – camp, friends from the neighborhood, school, etc. And, in fact, Heroes of Might and Magic is also such a group. It's sad to part ways. But maybe I'm just the kind of person who takes longer to grieve losses. It's a character trait that influences the tendency towards nostalgia.

That's right, some people still have their childhood in their butts and don't think they need to grow up. And the "Flood" also needs to grow up, not stay at the level of fifth grade.

Who cares, what's wrong with thinking like a child? Except for everyday trivialities.

Flood topics don't grow because of the chat; most of the events happen there now.

Yeah, something global is definitely happening...
