Splinterlands applied for DHF funding last week and have failed to get the votes above the threshold to guarantee the proposal full funding. A debate broke out after Splinterlands made it known in their proposal that they may have to expand to other blockchains if they do not get the funding needed from Hive.
In a sort of Life of Brian comedy skit the Hive Community are seriously asking the question about what Splinterlands has ever done for us in a Hive town hall? Let's go live!

"They take everything we have , and not just us but from our fathers , and our fathers, fathers."
"And from our fathers , fathers fathers"
Calm down there Sarge. Our fathers fathers fathers had no internet. You are drunk again. How did that guy get back in here. Is he not banned from every Discord yet. Kick him out?
AND WHAT HAVE THEY EVER GIVEN US IN RETURN????
[ASKS DISCORD GROUP]
Discord hand goes up!
The Onboarding?
What?
The Onboarding?
Did they not onboard thousands of Hive users as a result of the popularity of their game?
OK OK they did give us that.
That's true.
[Hand goes up]
and the Vibrant Splinterlands Community with 11,000 subscribers and over 500 Active Users per day?
[Hand goes up]
Didn't they build Hive Engine and Hive Keychain in Order to Onboard More Users and Create Liquidity??
Oh yes that is true they did , oh remember what Hive used to be like without Hive Engine. Terrible place. No liquidity.
Oh OK the onboarding and the large community and the building of Hive Engine and Keychain are the three things that Splinterlands have done.
And the purchase of millions of Hive on exchanges to fund their user accounts?
Well obviously the purchase of Hive!! The mass purchase of Hive goes without saying doesn't it!
But apart from the onboarding , the vibrant user Community, the building of Hive Engine, the initial funding of Hive Keychain and the purchase of millions of Hive on external markets what has Splinterlands ever done for us?
