Thallen, want to hear what i think you do for this spar community? I think you make great ideas, but i think when your online, you do nothing to help.

Me logging on and sparring every day isn't going to change anything. If staff want people to spar actively, they'd have made necessary changes by now. The fact is that the sparring community is small so they probably don't care to cater to that group.
Like I've said for years, if iClassic offers a prize for leaderboard placements or brings back the hats, sparring would be more active. If there was a singles tournament that used the leaderboard for seeding, just like the GST, sparring would be a lot more competitive.
It might be too late for that now though, because the server lag that sparrers deal with in present times is just discouraging.
Why are there 200-post GST prediction threads? Why do we have people talking about GST hats for 3+ pages? Why has towering never died out? Ya, because you get little prizes for doing all of those things.
On a personal level, I've done my part. I've sparred 44k times, way more than any player that came purely from Facebook, and I wasn't even active until 2012. Sparring just gets boring after a while.
