It seems more a case that people think before they post here.
I think that the idea of looking like a fuckhead in front of Warren Ellis has more to do with it.
Canes? Arse eels? Nah, looking like a moron is much worse when someone wields the vast internets power as Ellis.
As far as the reason I like it here? The people seem to be genuinely genuine. Really real, y'know? Or at least, as real as people can be when connected through the interwubs.
<blockquote>The people seem to be genuinely genuine. Really real, y'know?</blockquote> Well, I wouldn't go that far, but they're certainly bright and clever, and occasionally compassionate. Real is relative. Genuine is subjective.
I'd say Chris put it best: <blockquote> It seems more a case that people think before they post here. </blockquote>
That makes people seem-- well-- <em>thoughtful</em>.
Correct sahs. Posted two times without thinking, sounded like a power-douche, and learned not to do so again. Shame is like swallowing broken glass soaked in battery acid.

yes.
also - i love it here. people know things and share them that hurt my brain and i can share them with other people. it is good.
@ Face Shrapnel - thanks for starting this thread. usually i have nothing to say, so i lurk, but still, my overwhelming sense of this place is that there is interest, there are interesting topics and interested folk about. worth coming back.
Hey, quite welcome. I think this place is full of fun and happy. Or arse eels. I forget which. Just felt that the atmosphere here needed a little noting.
Well I posted for years and years over on the Terry Brooks forum, and that was great fun while I was there. But some new moderators came aboard and the place got to the point where I literally couldn't make a fart joke without getting stomped on, so I felt my time there had finished.
I'm new here, and so far the discussions seem intelligent. I have yet to get to know anybody, but it seems like a smarter forum, which is what I need.
