In all honesty, the main fact is, VIPs aren't really VIPs in this community anymore.

All the VIPs are seen nowa days are as normal members who have the ability to give up $5 to recieve Evil ryu, shin akuma and some green characters. Back in the days, when the VIPs were just NoSoul4Evr, Haohmaru and a handful of 'em, they had respect and they were looked to as ppl who wanted to help the game. :biggrin:

But nowadays, every Tom, Dick and harry can become a VIP, so a new member who just joined asks, how to become a VIP, he donates and wallah, he supposed to be ranked amongst the most respected members of this community. But not so my friends. Even the legit VIPs have been lost under the shadow of Pw sharing and perk hungry wombats. It's sad... really is. If you're not a mod then you're like everyone else.. and I think that should change. :biggrin:

TMyApp, for all he cares could decide to shut down this project.. but one of the main issues keeping him from doing that is the fact that there're some ppl who are willing to give thier time and spare a few change to help the dream he started. Even when times were tough.. when there was adversity.. they still remained... now that is what being a VIP is all about.. not the extra ordinary killing power of Shin Akuma's level 1 raging demon. :biggrin:

Indeed the VIPs have lost thier place in this community. But what is lost could be regained.. with common sense and respect. It's all reciprocal ppl.. :biggrin:
