Thank you, Bay12Forums!
« on: January 01, 2012, 01:12:47 pm »

Just recently, I was reminded how much I take the bay12 forums for granted. I'm in the beginnings of what seems to be a crappy conversation, and I'm considering dropping the whole thing and ignoring the steam users forum for as long as I can.

So far, everyone here is always very polite, well-spoken, and understands basic grammar and spelling. This forum is, in my experience, devoid of the frustrating habits I see on some other forums, like saying terrible Grammer [sic] and spelling are not Unreadable [sic] Inless [sic] there is an eye condition, or the reader lacks the patience to read an intelligent argeument [sic]. I can't overstate how much more coherent these forums generally are.

This is just a reverse-rant about my pet peeves, but I wanted to take the opportunity to gush about how much I like these forums.

You're all awesome, Bay12 Forums, don't ever change!  :D

We have our own problems, to be sure, but I'm not one to turn down an opportunity for being self-congratulatory. Go us!

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I think you accidentally spelled "unreadable" correctly. :P

But; yeah, you guys are awesome. I consider myself very lucky to be part of such a great community. And not just because of proper grammar and spelling.

Man, imagine if this forum had the bad grammers and the bad spellings. It would be awful, like seriously what would be the point in living if everyone here didn't write good! I mean I can really only appreciate anything if it has good writing. Everything else is shit and not worthwhile at all.

Jervous, I already mentioned that this was a small rant about one of my pet peeves. Just take the compliment.

I figure that this is a pretty good forum, all things considered. I've got my annoyances with it, but I suppose that another self-congratulatory spell isn't that bad.



Stay classyish, forum.

Jabs at each other are what we do here.

If the jabs aren't with a rusty knife. Then our illustrious leader has to step in.

I say this every time one of these threads pop up, but I think the community here is leagues ahead of most due to being open minded. Most places are happy to throw the witty insults and condescending dismissals at a drop of a hat. You can say almost anything wacky you want here, and most people will give you the opportunity to try and justify it before spewing the condescension.

The maturity level is high. And that's awesome.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Another reason this place is awesome is in it's very nature, it's run entirely by donations. And when you have a group of neckbeards gathered on a forum kept afloat only by their willingness to give, you get a generous giveaway ridden forum.
