The intellectual conversations and occaisional funny spam. Also it's the only message boards I take part in so I check it almost every day. Also Dikiyoba's stories and the gimmicks. Can't forget the gimmicks. [ Wednesday, January 30, 2008 05:52: Message edited by: The Ratt ] -------------------- Hmm... Ornks, gazers and guacamole.

The Games. None of us would be here if it weren't for the games. Then again, during the slow times between games, it's mostly the Community. I know a much better intellectual forum, and the debates here are always tame. Which is good, but there are less of them too. So, no. I don't stick around here for the debates, although I do participate occasionally. I wouln't want to come here if it weren't for the Games and the Community. -------------------- "I'm happy I'm the mentally disturbed person I am." -Nioca "Yes, Iffy is a demon." -Iffy "To fly, throw yourself at the ground and miss." -The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Posts: 1186 | Registered: Friday, June 18 2004 07:00 |

The games, mainly BoA, and that's it. I used to take part a lot in discussions, but I don't anymore. I want to be here for enjoyment and not for political/ethical debates that end up in flaming.

I'm sure Kel remembers this. Once, about two and a half years ago, we had a debate during which a person changed their mind about a subject.

Mostly games. Maybe the community, a little bit. It's a bit different here than on most forums I've visited, so the discussions are sometimes interesting to watch. I've watched the boards from 2001.

Why I came originally is a piece of trivia I'm not going to spew out for the tenth time. I stayed because I liked this place and the people in it. Despite appearances (I am increasingly becoming a gnarly oldbie, and behaving all cynical and world-weary and moderatorially heavy-handed) I really like all of you. You're funny, spontaneous, on average about as weird as I am, and while the younguns over in the GF forums aren't all master spellers or great thinkers, we all started out some time. The obnoxious, illiterate newbie of today may become the obnoxious, sarcastic oldbie of tomorrow - look at me. -------------------- The Noble and Ancient Order of Polaris - We're Not Yet Dead.

I have no idea why the heck I'm still here. I hardly post, only check General and even that usually mostly superficially. Sometimes there's a nice discussion, which I read, perhaps even all the pages that have generated at that time, but don't start following it much. Very rarely, I pop over to the game boards themselves, see that nothing's happening, and then forget them all over. I don't even chat with you people anymore. :\ Still... I've grown to this place. I don't think I'll ever quite fully leave. Unless my computer blows up. Or my personality changes so much I become someone else entirely. But you know, otherwise, never. -------------------- Pannaan kaikki hippulat vinkumaan! ^_^ Ooh! Homepage - Blog - Geneforge, +2, +3 - My Elfwood Gallery and DevArt page So many strange ones around.

Yes, Aran SO resembles Ed. I, too, don't really play the games. BoA doesn't work well on this shiny new Mac (maybe I should set up my old one and play it). Geneforges are okay, but I only ever finished the first because I can't do ultra-long gaming sessions and screwed up some games on the others. Exile/Avernum/Nethergate sound fun, but I didn't buy all of them because it would pretty much be my parents' money and I don't want to up and make them spend fifty dollars on game crap. So, I think it's really fun to have conversations with interesting, insightful people. I can read the responses over and over and use a quote function to bring up dead concepts without looking that awkward. And the things people write to each other are enjoyable in that typical conversation way. I don't even click on the game forums. It still hooks me. I just hope this onslaught of new members isn't so pigheaded that I'm driven off. So far, they've done okay. -------------------- "Of course, not all technology is good.

It's a perfectly valid, ordinary means of communication, whose relation to a banned former member I don't honestly understand. I have around 50 Spiderwebbers in my Thunderbird address book, with nearly of whom I've exchanged messages in the past. There are real persons behind our member numbers, you know. It's not hard to enter a network of trust that pretty much pre-empts any risks of you having to delete emails from Ed Seymour or his kind. -------------------- The Noble and Ancient Order of Polaris - We're Not Yet Dead.
