Nothing wrong with having a popular YouTuber to gain an audience, but to rely on it is bad. I've heard that the population soars after Crainer does a vid. v2 isn't ready for that.
The best way for OPB to grow is for the community to give constructive criticism back to staff & hope they act on it. *We* are essentially OPBs future, right? We're helping build what OPB will become. We fund (somewhat) through donations, we improve gameplay through user feedback, we bring in new players by promoting the site on YT and elsewhere.
That's why I don't understand the toxicity that some people bring. They're gonna be the OG one day - the legends of OPBv2 - and they waste that opportunity on petty stuff.

Whew. Guess I had that bottled up for a bit. Sorry for the rant.
