@the people talking about games having poor communities on the official forum.

This is the ONLY game I have ever played where the official forums were the place to be and were actually populated by a worthwhile group of people. You should not Judge a game's community or it's player base by the poorly moderated public (publicish in some cases) boards on the official website.

I wouldn't exactly call these boards 'Well moderated'.  Most of the people here just don't act up enough to require moderation.

I think we moderate ourselves more than anything. We ostracize (visibly or not) the people who don't meet even the most basic maturity standards.

Welcome to reason number 2 why I hate MMORPGs.
What's reason number one? :)

The money.
You could just play RuneScape Guild Wars never mind, they both suck.

I've seen quite a few. This is by far the best though. I can only hope that, by acknowledging our own existence, we have not caused a downward spiral that will doom the fortress! forums!

My theory is that most just go to another forum and bicker, if they want to.
I once was a member of the Halo 3 forums, probably the opposite of these forums, but nevertheless it were fun times.  ;D

Doppel has been ecstatic lately. He took joy in playing DF lately. He slept on a rough cave keyboard recently.
He is a member of the Dwarf Fortress Forums.
Doppel likes the color Dark Blue, cats for their aloofness and girls for their silky soft brea beards.
He appreciates art and natural beauty.

When you've been in forums for long enough, places like this are an amazingly refreshing and pleasurable experience.

Like getting gently bathed by six or seven hot babes (or hunks, if you prefer) having just come out of a bath of radioactive acid.

Yeah, but you said radioactive. And you KNOW what that does to your ability to deal with hotness.

Well if it was only alpha radiation you should be okay as long as you didn't swallow any and don't develop skin cancer  ;D

A sufficiently dilute acid with a very low level of radioactivity would be quite harmless.
