Hey, hey, we're not all going to flame you.

It was just the irony of that one occasion.

In fact, I have been to many showcases/threads where you haven't said anything proper nasty to some one.
Annoying maybe, but that is just the kind of person you are.
I do those awful YouTube videos.

How about no lock, and less idiocy. I know you guys don't like getting accused of being outright dumb, but you sure make it easy sometimes xD

Overall, I'm not really as concerned as some of you (iiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaAAAAAAAANNNN) seem to be. Yeah there are people that are annoying, yeah there are people that do nothing, but those types have always existed. Even on the old forums. With time though, we forget and only remember the important people and those who have done more than their fair share of innovating and contributing. There are also people I see stepping up in the near future to fill the void left by leaving vets, and I see people who have already stepped up playing important roles in the community. Focusing on the negatives will put you in a rubber room - just try to look at the bright side once in a while. It makes things much nicer.

Fun fact: my first ever post was "noob here lol"


Im not saying this is every single one of you but I can take a good guess that over 50% of you post something negative towards someone else at least once a week.

BAWWWW HAZ I HURT UR FEELING? xP

Don't worry, I only argue with REAL MEN >:O

@SM: Bad idea about the post thing, people would just come in to spam so they could stay. And some people will not post for a while because they lurk
Erm.... Make certain people "validate" these posts as legit? And why make an account to lurk?
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

How about just: Have this many posts within this time of creating accuont or the account will be deleted.

Heres what i propose

EVERY ONE SHUT THE F*** UP!!!!!

its only a god damn game thats served its purpose, and im sick of members who keep saying 12 year olds are spammers and twits. So heres the deal: every hi-jacking spamming nut cases just shut up and the veterans worried about other members. Dont bother. everyone has a choice, you cant force people to open showcases and then flame them cos they dont. your not setting a good example yourself. This aint one of them im leaving comments. im just sick of all this flaming and slagging off the younger members. how about both shut up. Say nothing to each other for a while then everyone walks away satisfied.

NOW STOP FIGHTING!!!!

It's funny how I don't log on for one day and everyone posts. :P

Anyway, not many of you may know this but I'm 12. Yes, I'm 12. I've started a tournament and started a mod. Both of them are coming along nicely so, age doesn't come into this argument. N00bs can be any age. Anyway, you should be happy that we even have a forum for this game. This game is ~7 years old.

I don't really like the off-topic sections much but I do enjoy things like the Jokes thread and the General Chatter Thread. I do agree that people are focusing on the off-topic sections too much. This forum is for RA2, not for random threads that die in a day. More people should build. Hopefully, more people will build once Backlash and my pack come out.

Finally, I also agree that we should be nicer to newbies. Like Joe said, instead of whacking them we should nudge them into the correct direction. Hopefully, then, we will get less n00bs on this forum.

Just my opinion. Feel free to disagree. :)

You do seem to use a rather violent tone for someone who wants to stop the fighting...
