At What Point

[Atrocities]

At what point do you think a person has reached a respectable level here in the forums?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

the first question is a null; i try to at least respect the fact that the other person is capable of thought and has infinite potential.

addiction can't be measured by post frequency. myself, i have to remind myself to read the forums.

The first question needs an answer of 1. Everyone starts out with respect around here.

Post count does not mean much. There are a lot of posters that are just yakky. They yak yak yak about nothing. Same folks seem to take great pride in their counts. But on the other hand there are a few who seem to be willing to answer people’s questions, and are often sought out for answers. These would be the people who have earned respect.

Anyone who visits the forum every day has the habit. But it is the game, not the forum that puts the monkey on your back.

I believe that Slick does. And right he should. It's all about content.

We should gather a list of the TOP 10 posters.

I think Fyron is # 1 on that followed by Suicide Junkie, Geo, myself, etc

(insert comment from Fyron about how a REAL bulletin board system would do that AUTOMATICALLY)

Loser, I'm not sure why you picked me for the little comparison here, but the SE4 community here is tops in my book. I certainly don't see you as having less of my respect than anyone else. There aren't any real troublemakers here and everyone has a pretty high level of maturity and mutual support for these games. I think that's what matters.

Slick.

Slick, I think he was just referencing the whole Newbie FAQ thing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Slick]

Well due credit goes to Ruatha for starting the FAQ and all the contributers for their input. It is a community effort.

Slick.

[Fyron]

True, but you are the one that organizes it nowadays, right? You get a little bit of credit. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
