[Dame de la Licorne]

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.

No, it's what makes the DF FORUMS immortal.     DF merely provides us with endless derail possibilities.

I remember asking a personal question about my body a long time ago on these forums, and I was accosted with the response "pour magma on it". There are indeed trolls on these forums, but their form of trolling can best be described as...

Dwarvenly. 

[FuzzyZergling]

The best way to deal with Bay 12 forum trolls is to textwall them off.
Everyone knows textwalls are indestructable.

Check out the "What the hell, Congress!?" thread. I think its maturing into its derail phase of existence pretty soon.

[Roundabout Lout]

I never thought I'd ever register into a forum.

2 years later, and I always keep coming back.
Stay classy Bay12

I would definitely agree with a lot of things that have been said before in this thread. A good amount of other forums I joined I barely posted, if at all due to the lack of maturity. I'm sure there are similar forums out there in quality, but I have yet to find a better forum than the bay 12 forums.

Also, on the topic of derails, they can be annoying from time to time but generally they make me laugh when the thread comes to some ridiculously unrelated topic, and then stays on that topic for a while. I think the derails are part of the charm of B12 forums, but that may just be me

Check the quote. Someone else FuzzyDoom already sigged it.

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

I had this avatar for a fews days before you posted that image.


If that's what you're talking about... >>;

Two then.

To be entirely honest, this place couldn't be better.  The game is legendary, even in an incomplete state.  The community is great here.  (And the ability for a thread to start about X and derail to Y and then derail again to Z, then derail back to X and go to W and V and then randomly to C skipping everything in between...  well, you get the idea.)

the thing is, every forum does that. But the users (and mods) here take it in stride. They're less topic-differentiated threads than more natural threads of conversation that can flow.

yes, exactly.

On the other hand, most other forums don't feature incessant back-patting about how smart and superior they are.

Masturbation is normal, doing it in groups seems like a natural progression.


I always come back to the forum before I go back to the game. I miss the laughs I get reading stuff here and THAT makes me want to play DF again.

I'm wondering if I should sig this completely out of context or with the quote in there...

[Urist Imiknorris]

Out of context. That's also the thread I'm putting it in.

[Criptfeind]

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.

Am I interwoven with you Jack.

Also what you say is very true. I used to post a ton up here like two years ago and now this is my first post in the upper world in like three months.

Edit: Sometimes the stark contrast between the lower and upper forums stagger me.
