A lot of us praise LDW because we genuinely like the company and how it works.

I hate pest control because of how they dump chemicals in the ground. But I found a company who was working hard to stop those practices, to find a clean, efficient way to control termites. I worked with the company through the hardest times, through the first years, when there was no client base, when no one understood the treatment process. I watched my boss grow an amazing company because he really cared about his customers, because he went the extra mile (or in once case the extra 78 miles) to take care of the customers. I learned to love that kind of business, and I never thought I would find another like it. I watched that business grow from a few clients to a few thousand clients- with NO advertising... it was all word of mouth.

I'm a teacher now, and I take lessons from Larry. I go the extra mile to make sure my kids are safe, and happy, and learning. I love and respect every one of them, no matter how hard it is. I have a repuation as a trouble maker because I am always fighting our admin over what is best for the children. We are all looking out for the bottom line, the difference is that I think the bottom line is the kids, and they think its the budget.

LDW is not just concerned with the budget. They are not trying to fleece anyone, get away with our money. This company cares about what we think, about how we feel about the games. If the company was only concerned about the money, the negative posts would be gone in a heartbeat. The forums would not be here.

There are some glitches, but look at the kind of games... This is not some simple puzzle point and click game. This is complicated coding. There are minor glitches, and they are working on it.

I am postive that it is taking longer because they don't want you to have to keep up with patches- prefering that there be one that covers it.

The problem I have with some posts is that the negativty is not constructive. The same gripes are being stated again and again, seemingly in the hopes to stir up trouble or in an attempt to get something for nothing.

Everyone does have the right to their own opinion. The problem is not the opinion being expressed, but how it is being expressed. Remember being a kid and having mom say "Its not WHAT you say, but HOW you say it"? I know that on my part, it is becoming hard to tolerate the libel (not slander, slander is verbal, libel is in print :P ).

It will not put me off the forums, because I love them and respect the company entirely too much for that (not to mention the many many awesome people active here), and I am sure that most of us feel the same way. So please, if you want to express your opinions, go ahead, but think about what is being said. If you have said it before, it has been read, it has been noted. Harping on it will do no good. Like my mom always says "Nobody likes a negative nelly!"

Sorry if i got a bit soapboxy here.
