Far be it from me to police everything that goes on in these forums, I decided that I'd take the time out to simply sit back and have a little chat (thankyou V for Vendetta) about TWHL.
From what I'm hearing, it seems there's a rift forming between many members. Rather than berate you, I'd thought I'd just remind you all of the common thread that brings us all together: Half-Life.
We're all here because of that one little game and I think it's something we all should remember. Take the time to extend a hand of friendship (or at the very least, courtesy) to newer, more inexperienced members. Yes, sometimes they can be a bit nooby, but a little patience can go a long way. If you really can't stand it, just PM an admin.
I can't stop you all from being tards, but I do urge you all to take a moment and think about what you're about to post. We all come from different parts of the world: it's impossible to predict the reaction of all the members here.
Last, but not least, have fun. Crazy threads are all well and good: just don't go berserk.
Try not to spam this topic too much, k?
