+ The friendly aatmosphere the diverse pool of active users, the forum layout itself

- Lack of leadership. My advice to anyone looking at making such a venture as their own site would be to ensure they are always and 100% committed to every single user. Fortunately we have a strong mod team and now a good Writing tea,  but there is little to no activity above and beyond that.

You're posts are always interesting to read, Cone. You're the most proactive mod too. You show an appropriate amount of professionalism and quirkinesses in each of your posts, which is a sign of a good user who happens to be a committed mod. Other mods are great too when they actually engage with the community. However, I've noticed there were periods when the team was very strict with the rules and very loose in others.

I love the diverse community. I love the intelligent users, and I adore the sarcastic ones. The community is the reason I've joined of course. We still have the usual divisive threads. They're not as entertaining as they used to because they lost their novelty to me. Some users are not aware for the fact that they're not just posting their opinions but also creating content for both users and lurkers. I wish they can be more critical or more polite in how they interpret bad news. I'm well aware that they're not representatives of anything but it's annoying that these threads are the most active ones. They make me question what I'm doing here sometimes.

This post is not a response you're post, Cone (just the first part). I just wanted to say how awesome you are because sometimes dogs and Mudkip gifs are not enough :P.

You are too kind Pie. Or maybe not kind enough. I'm not so sure.

Either way, thanks for the kind words. You also make a lot of good points.

 

Also don't worry about it Mr.Playstation. I sorta deserved it so it's OK. My initial post came off as far more scathing than I'd have liked...
