Wow, i have some good summer holidays but this one promises to be good.
Ive already been involved in several break-up parties and paintballing (the bruises still havent gone yet) and i even tried to do a bit of surfing down in newquay, cornwall on a small holiday there. Which ended up being almost comically unsucessful.
Also, in this journal post, im going to be posting a few things in response to a certain someones journal post to see if he'll return to the forums. Just a little try.
-People being clever? Hey, not everyones perfect. Its just natural to try and pass points and such and making ourselves look 'clever' tends to help get the message across. SO GET OVER IT!
-Narrowmindedness? Hey, if people choose not to take peoples advice they can do so. They can choose to ignore and such just as you choose to ignore the good side of the forums. But most of this view is probably based on the HL1/HL2 help threads where begginers immediately jump in head-first without taking a look around first. I have to admit thats a bit of a problem but not everyone is like that.
-Rehashing? Thats not surprising really, 1882 topics last time i checked. Thats an amazing amount, i wouldnt be surprised to find if the general discussion forum covered anything interesting. Also remember that there are gunna be some popular topics amoung the forums that give a bigger spark then others. Like religion threads for example. Many clones of those and no wonder, it has many exciting debates inside. Also remember that not everything is going to be covered and that some things are more interesting then others so are recovered more often.
-Lack of spirit!? Whats wrong with people having a little competition between each other? Sometimes it can go too far but hey, it cant always go well can it now? Not every competitive person is so easily restrained.
In short, get over yourself. As my uncle said ''to be a good member of the community you must help it confront its problems''
