Bay12's maturity level compared to other forums/gamesites.
« on: June 21, 2012, 09:14:14 pm »

Hello!  :)
Today im just going to "vent" a little bit of my ideas on bay12's maturity levels.
First, I think Bay12 is the most mature forum on the web, no lies.
People are helpful, kind, not trollers., etc...
I was at a friends house, and he is on this game called "sploder"? My first reaction was "Wtf Y no Dwarf fortress?" But then I read some of the comments on that site and...oh my. If I were to sum it up right now, it would be
"Good gam I vot  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D"
I mean, I understand its an age group of 10 year old (Ish), but clearly the site induces some syndrome that makes them write one hundred smileys? Its honestly such a relief to come home to Bay12 forums. Thanks for showing me that one forum can be mature, helpful, and kind all at once.
Long live Bay12!  8)

Unless you type in purple.

Then we're fucking annoyed with you.

This more belongs in General Discussion than Other Games.
In fact, there's already a thread like it:

Bay 12 is, indeed, better than most forums.

Unless you type in purple.

Usually it's not a problem.

Yeah, I think we're a pretty mature forum. Short attention spans get driven away from DF.

Oh hey, this thread again. Yes, we all know Bay12 is a great forum; that's why we stay. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

What, you don't like a bit of a circlejerk between mature friends every once in a while? I think it can be an entertaining aside. This has nothing to do with my desire to fill the world with horrid violet papyrus text.

I hate it when one person types in "a little bigger then default" font size to sound more important.

Well maybe I'll have to fix this a bit then. I thought violet would be a more unbearable color than purple (although I don't really know the difference, it seems that the internet has decided that violet is a lighter color than purple), but apparently I was wrong. My next theory is that if I get a substantial enough mass of text then the various lines of it will be annoying to read, considering I don't think papyrus is the sort of font that was ever optimized for anything. It'll be like reading a sans serif book, except significantly more annoying since it's purple papyrus. Hopefully I'll manage to even get Frumple and Furtuka to admit it's ugly and... I just realized what I'm doing. I have better things to do than make big paragraphs of ugly font. Also I enjoy how papyrus gives me a little scroll bar to the right of my posts.

Harder to read, but I will never speak ill of purple so no go, there. I'd actually like it if it were a size or two up, font wise. Bit smaller than I prefer, as is~

It's is not making me annoyed, though the size is making part of my brain scrunch up in an odd way, but it's not that big of a deal.
