Remember Thinker?

You mean TheDarkSide. I kind of find that, despite me disagreeing very heavily with his opinions, it was a shame he was basically bullied out of the forums. Shouldn't have shit like that happen to anyone.

The pewdiepie era was really bad, everyone basically just copy pasted their code from other mods/the main game/tutorials and very rarely was there anything actually good or original coming out. The level design was shit, the scripting was shit, and I don't think most people modding even knew what game design was.
I still remember PewDiePie apologizing publicly on the forums about this, though it's a shame he stopped playing CS' - though I never found his fans contributing to the community, at least it meant there was interest in the modding scene, there's very little now by comparison.

Yes that's his name. I agree, he had trouble compromising and seeing things from other peoples perspective but as long as you treated him with respect you could have interesting debates with him even though his opinions usually were very extreme. A lot of users had a very hostile attitude towards him, it was very sad to see.
