As a long-time moderator, it's good to see that through all the hard times I've personally been through, as well as the times that it seems everyone was uniting against the mod team, that we still maintain at least a smidgen of respect among all of you. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> The mod team and I have worked hard to be fair, just and quick in everything we do, and it's good to see that our actions might have some impact on the community as a whole. I've never been ashamed to be a part of this group of people, and I'm very happy to see how far the community has come over the last few years.

Actually, I've found that if I ever do visit another forum I can't stand the obnoxious people. Oi. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> Indeed. I remember trying to get into the TS forums, as I love the mod and wanted to look into the community. Given that this board was the only experience I have had with game forums and game communities, I figured it couldn't be all that bad. I gave up after about ten posts - no sig/avatar limits, <b>constant</b> flaming (even mods flame on occasion), and a general lack of any meaningful content drove me away quickly. All this made me appreciate the NS boards and community even more.
The only forum near as good as this one would have to be the Weebl and Bob forums. Despite the amount of swearing that goes on, i've never seen an actual flame there.
But then, I can hardly see someone posting
"OMG BOB IZ BETTAR THAN WEEBL YOU ALL SUX!"
"OMG YOU ****! WEEBL R TEH MAN!"
"J00 BOTH WRONG, CHRISE TEH NINJA PIRATE OWNZ YOU BOTH!"
<a href='http://www.weebls-stuff.com/forums/' target='_blank'>For those who want a looksie</a> (warning: Some swearing and "naughty" content)
Hell, that place is where I get all the amazingly funny/frankly godawful things I post here; they have a whole forum devoted to random stuff found on the intarweb. (DAMN! The secret of my powers revealed!)
But back on topic, a winnar is this forum, and a winnar is the mods.
yeah, the mods here are SO MUCH BETTER THAN RPG PAVILLION. I got banned within a week because I posted a contraversial topic in the controversial topics forum. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Flowers for all ! I agree these forums are very nice, the B&W forums were evil when i use to be there, you would ask for help and they would just flame and insult microsoft :/
I have to agree. This is the best most civilized forum i have ever been on. I've been on Custom-Tfc. Real a**holes. Flame wars everywhere and lots of warez. Went to Svencoop forum.Even worse moderators flame. And throw out bans for the word "F*G" in sigs etc. Yet swearing is aloud, Funny that.
Everyday after school, I look forward to posting on the NS forums and reading everyones posts. Althought I usually just post in off-topic, I read almost everything everyday in EVERY forum! Goodjob mods and community!

You know what, just because I think we should, I think we should make a alliance here. We, those who promise to keep coming back to these forums as often as possible, who never forget of their existence, and keep them going. If we have to, we could buy the code or whatever from Flayra & Co. and host them ourselves, and have others join(and never change the name, but have all of our titles be changed to- "The Naturally Selected". Heh) over the long amount of time we'd be here. I say we all promise eachother now loyalty to one another. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I know that sounded stupid, but I think we're a great group, and I'd like to keep in touch with all of you for years.

well, forums tend to attract socially inept (outside AND on the computer) obnoxious little sh*ts that need to insult people to compensate for their ineptitudes. (i'm not insulting them, i'm stating the truth)
somehow, mature individuals have come together to converse about stuff and things and stuff. lo, the N-S.org forums.
***
a word to the best of you:
the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. forums are kinda in the fledgling stage. i signed up a few days ago as Zig, but i'm kinda alooone. if you've got spare time, join me and spread the luvs.
<b>edit</b>: quauuauuauau, i'd join your alliance thing gladly. just bring it to the stalker forums! i love that game =P
Well, I have to say this now...you guys, all of you OT'ers and all of the mods that I can remember...your all my family...granted a tertiary family (Real family, girlfriend's family, NS.org family, cousins family)
I used to read the FA model forums...which was disgusting. No moderation, no sig limits, nuttin. I came here and it's like a blessing, with an active moderation team, and usually at least one mod idling in #naturalselection to clean up "dirty" threads.
Thank you all, every OT regular, and thank you to all of the mod's, who make up the uncles, grandparents and in Flayra's case Great-Grandparents of my NS.org family.
(on a side note, i'm on my home computer, so I won't be posting much till...Sunday night when I get back, but I got to say that I love having a 200 kb/s download rate)
Wow, consider me floored. Just ten minutes ago, I entered my home, screaming "I hate my job.". Now, I sit in front of the screen and can't wipe a stupid smile off my face. Thanks, thanks for making this a place I happily spend several hours of each of my days in <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
