This was my first forum experience and I have to say it's been a rather pleasant experience. I've seen the traffic sky rocket over the years (I lurked from around March 08) I like the meaningful discussions and the occasionally hysterical forum games. I spend more time reading comments from others than posting myself. As a result I feel as if I know some of you quite well although I may not have spoken to you directly, it's a shame some of those have either started posting less or have moved on or got themselves banned. I like to make good threads and take pride in them when they kick off. I feel the need to step in when I see someone being harrased for an opinion, or offer an alternative viewpoint to those who are narrow-minded.
I make the occasional comment here and there that the quality of the forums has declined. It's a noticebally different place than it was last year. People have loosened up a lot and are starting to have more fun again. Our most recent notable postors, not unlike your self Pimppeter, have been able to engage the communtiy and make it a fun place to be whether you are a well-known poster or a newbie to the forums. The more the merrier, really does seem to be the attitude around here now and for that I have no ill comment to make. Sure this place could stand to be a little more original at times but hey, what ya can ya do? Perhaps a new board for way-off-topic might bring some relief to those wanting a bit more freedom to have a good time or whatever.
As for how the communtiy has been affected by my presence? I don't know, you tell me. I'd like to think my attempts at wit and reasoning are welcomed here at least...
