<div class="IPBDescription">Be extremely grateful we have good mods</div> No, seriously. I don't know about you guys, but this is really the only internet forum i've actually read.. until recently anyways. Seeing as how this was my first, I never really could compare it to anything and really appreciate the work that forum moderators do (until a few minutes ago.) Now, however, I realize how much I have taken for granted... Swear-filters, mods that keep things on topic, and a generally friendly atmosphere, to name a few.

<a href='http://www.hitmanforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12757&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=50' target='_blank'>http://www.hitmanforum.com/forum/viewtopic...er=asc&start=50</a>

About 3/4s down you can see the thread completely derail into a gun control debate. Vulagarity and humor ensues.

I think we should all take a step back, contemplate how much work the mods do for us to ensure a great forum and community. Either this place is really great, or the hitmanforums suck. Either or. Shudder.

Note: When I started this, I had no intention of making this a suck-up thread. Though from the looks of it, it kind of looks like it. The thing is, I was compelled to write this after one of the hitman forumers said <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->And i also believe that the facts from FBI may be a little partial too.. they work for the goverment.. and the goverment work for bush, and bush have lost most of my respect.. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
or <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--> do U work in a ststiscs or somethin' firm cause one of 10 word you say is "statistics". <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Ick...the discussion forumers would be turning in their graves. ...If they were dead.

    Why? I admit I didn't see that bit, but it is a fact. After their ban in the UK, gun crime did increased. A lot. This happens because laws like this are knee jerk reactions that the people pressure the government to make, eliminating the governments time to make an informed desision. Basically, people are stupid.

    Ok, so this starts off as a thread about how well the forums are moderated, then ends up as a gun control debate? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yeah.. the mods are quite nice here, and I don't think they locked a topic, at least as far as I can see that didn't deserve it hehe.

    Yes.. I am kissing up to Monse/Nem and others :-)
