To be honest, what I thought made this community great was the fact that people could make games whether good or bad and they'd receive constructive criticism for them.
I remember when I was a noob and I made crappy games, people would help me out and generally be nice to me.
Now we have people creating fake accounts and insulting each other on the forums, creating random crappy games and applications and not giving the new people constructive criticism. I just generally think the community has gotten full of people with their heads up their butts, who'd rather go around and humiliate or annoy people rather than make games. That's my view anyway. Obviously that's led to people abandoning games, like you said.
Ashman was exactly the kind of person that knew he could get away with more than most. I didn't find him all that funny, yet i realized he was acting up to get a laugh from people.
It's only in hindsight that we see people as funny rather than annoying. Well in my opinion anyway.
The 'any girls at TDC mp3' was awesome though, i found it again a few months ago but it seemed to be missing the part when the creators cracked up and laughed. Unless i'm mistaking that for something from Novabrain's grand adventure.
