A big thank you.....

Post by Mark »

I'd like to take a moment to really say thanks to the Kennedy boys, Graham and Ian. You've provided us with a place to hang out and chat with friends, discuss whatever the hell we want, and most importantly, to disagree with not only each other, but with you guys.

I'm playing an online text based game which also has a forum. The site admins and their mods are VERY tyranical and outright rude. Your wrong because they say your wrong, tell newbies to shut the hell up because they don't know what they're talking about, and ban people for disagreeing with them.

After seeing how BAD a forum can be, its nice to come home to a place where you can see one at it's best.

Thanks guys!!!!

Aye, this forum has a very laid back feel to it, which I think is nice. There are far too many boards out there where the staff are jerks, incompetant, or just like to abuse their power. It's nice to have a place where you can just log on to chill out. :)

Yes, In another forum I'm on, anything said that offends a mod results in a ban. Sometimes it's deserved, othertimes it's just because they can. It can be quite annoying.

Try hanging out on Theforce.newt. That's a place where the staff are downright dictatorial, banning anyone who disagrees with them or just plain annoys them.

With the problem made even worse by the fact that those are paid accounts.

Yup - often for polite and reasonable criticism of the numbers proposed by a certain author.

Ummm... no, they're not. At least not since I've been there.

Also, big props to Ian and Graham. Thanks, guys. :)

I'm afraid they can only accept cheques here though...
