Contributing to the Site

[Warbaby1943]

I was going to ignore this thread and I probably should but I have never been one to keep my mouth shut. I can't speak for others who like to post and play games but as far as I am concerned I DID NOT come here looking for awards, never even entered my mind so if they bother you that much I'm sure you can eliminate them very easily.

As far as contributions go this forum would be rather dead without the F & G section and sponsors may be less likely to want to advertise here if he place was inactive a large percentage of the time. Also it would be a hell of a lot less welcoming place since most all who play games are also the ones who take the time to go and welcome new people to the forums.

So if a smaller and less active site is the goal then eliminate the F & G section. I think I may have suggested a very similar action about 7 or 8 months ago. Have at it if that is what you think this place needs and would be best over all for the forum.

I would be willing to argue that for some people that is because it takes all of 15 seconds to type out "Welcome!" or post a smilie, and that too is an easy way to up your post count.

I don't want to argue with you anyone else because I personally don't give a fuck one way or the other what is thought by anyone about my post count . I'll just say if it is so fucking easy why do more not do it? I do not post welcomes to new people to advance my post count. I don't need to use that as a vehicle to increase them.

I personally don't understand what is the problem with Warbaby or anyone else typing in a 15 second welcome to newcomers to these forums. I personally have been to other forums where I have posted a "Hello, I'm new here" post and have been ignored. At least the newcomers to this board are welcomed with open arms. Regulars here let them know that they are welcome to the site and are made to feel so. And if posting welcomes to newcomers ups someone's post count, so freakin' what?

If you don't care, then why are you getting so firey about it? My comment wasn't specifically about you... I used the word "some" and even bolded it because I expected it to be misinterpreted from the beginning.

I think it is great that people welcome the newbies.... but you said it was mostly the people who frequent the F&G section that do so. I pointed out that for SOME people it is not out of any great benevolance, but is simply another way to easily up their post count.

Why don't I take the time to do it? Because if I only have 20 minutes on the forum, I would rather take it to respond to someone's question in another area, than to go and "Welcome!" 20 people.

And "willing to argue" is more a turn of phrase than anything else. No reason to bring out the F-bombs.

You have the knack of bringing out the best in me. Notice I said you.
