Ignoring the fact the steam group is owned by Dal, and Dal is known for his powertrips and never-ending crusade for his discord. Someone I'd rather not enable even slightly because he's completely out of touch with reality and uses the numbers in any group he has as proof that they should exist.
People will always group up and create their own groups, the problem is that some of these groups try to integrate themselves with vrg to the point of users preferring to post in any other form besides the thread. Again will always happen, but a lot of our problems have come from the fact we have a community that welcomes everyone and is very easy to get into and that causes us problems, especially when the people that cause problems are in charge and have admitted they barely use the thread only checking to see if someone is shitposting them. Part of the innate perk of threads in general is that people are anonymous and if someone is a dick they can do so because they feel so without worrying about image or dumb shit, and yet the opposite is true as well: If you're a decent person often people will defend you to some extent. The reason we even made the steam group and the discord is because Dal assumed gossip would destroy our community but the opposite happened. This community became so obsessed with identity that we can't even say the obvious that discord and steam aren't 4chan, and when trying to push away the groups we're met with constant screaming.
