This topic needs to be revived. We are hearing so many good ideas, that I'm actually starting to think there may be hope for the forum, if not the game. While people like wrestlemania may try to ruin the forum, there will always be those who can turn the other cheek. I make no claims that i am that kind of person; I still find it hard to keep from reacting when people like wrestlemania bait me.
Luckily, there are people like Troy88, 2000warrior, feartetsuo, lordgrobyc', SSJKarma, NoSoul4evr, Quass, and TarkanX, to name a few, who put some thought in their posts. I have to agree with Troy88--it's people like these that make this forum worthwhile. Even when people disagree with me, at least I'm getting some input, and having a civil discussion with another great mind.
I would like to take a second, and commend the people who have helped to make this forum worth the spammers, flooders, and jerks.
I wish that there could be more people like TarkanX--his posts dont flood the forum, and when he speaks, he makes a difference, yet he has managed to get over 2000 posts under his belt without spamming. I take my hat off to you, TarkanX, and I hope you remain with this forum despite the negativity running rampant.
And Quass--he is one of the few (only) moderators who finds the time to take a look into the forums, and to help out struggling no obs and vets alike. Whether he reads this or not, I hope he realizes how rare sysops like him are.
2000warrior--you have criticized many of my ideas and corrected many of my statements, but I cannot hold it against you; you are one of the few who can disagree without being disagreeable. I find it hard to fault someone like you, who actually backs his arguments up with fact, and who isn't a jerk when he criticizes.
Troy88--you are constantly looking for those few meaningful topics where you can make a meaningful post. You have a great mind, and are the most level-headed person in this forum. Never once have I seen you lose your cool, and never once have I seen you make a post that wasn't useful or meaningful. Neither have I seen you contradict someone, and yet you always add something to the discussion. You, too, are vital to the integrity of this forum.
I hope this doesn't "fall on deaf ears", as 2000Warrior put it, and that you all stay with this forum. And don't think that, just because i didn't mention you, that I dont appreciate you. You know who you are.
As long as you guys keep contributing here, I know that I'll keep coming back.
