All the nastiness happens on the lower forums, but it's still way less than most forums, which is nice.

Ironically, everyone who frequents the lower forums are basically interwoven and there's like several massive groups of friends, who all know everyone else in the Finally section and almost never come up here. It's the amount of people up here that's doing most of the work keeping the flames down, combined with a good community and two fair and respected moderators.

You're on a forum full of ingenius, evil overlords that chat about new ways to murder harmless kittens who also secretly control groups of deranged, drunken midgets. How could you not love that?


That's what makes this forum so nice and peaceful; we can all relate to this single, steep learning curved, mind numbing roguelike game.

...I come up here pretty often.

The only threads I've seen that have what could be described as a flame war would be the Atheist discussion (Well, of course.) and when Lillipad posts something someone doesn't like in Forum Games.

[Jackrabbit]

Oh believe me, there's been a few. Nothing can compare to the petty name calling, flaming and just general nastiness Jude and Forumsdwarf could create when they squared off against each other.

Atheist discussion

Wait, what, *where*? I wanna have a piece!

Atheist discussion

It's mostly devolved into a (very entertaining IMO) discussion over Rome: Total War expansions.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.

Damn it, Imiknorris, stop saying sigworthy things!

[Urist Imiknorris]

Check the quote. Someone else FuzzyDoom already sigged it.

Then again, I've gotten three people to use the same image for their avatars...

We're bitter about having our games ruined by bugs! What's more justified for a fan to feel bitter about?

I'm going to laugh really hard when this thread derails into a flamewar.

Then I'll laugh harder when it jumps the rails and ends up about GCS Silk Socks

I don't remember ever, ever seeing a stupid or agressive poster there. This is somewhat disturbing, as I'm accostumated to the Dofus and Wow forums (where flaming and stupidity run rampant).

Well, you may also seldom find the boring poster, but that's also astonishingly rare.

People are helpful, and respond quickly. It's even better than the XKCD fora.

All in all, this is really freaking me out. You abnormal mutants.

As soon as Jesus starts loving me. I SO want those four; the holy quatrinity of DF optimisation!

[Urist Imiknorris]

Once this thread inevitably derails, shall we derail the derail?

[Shrugging Khan]

Is there any other way?

[darkrider2]

Derails are part of a forums life cycle.

The ability of our forum to start on any topic then randomly derail into another topic and continue randomly derailing for eternity is what makes DF immortal.
