Is the upper boards elitist as well? If so, why?

If not. Your joke does not make sense Gatleos.

[Gatleos]

Actually, I recall several threads similar to this one up there. So yes, it's the same all around.

[Loud Whispers]

B) Jonathan S. Fox and Kurtulmak are moderators, Toady and ThreeToe are administrators.

Anyone ever seen Kurtulmak?

Interesting...

[Heron TSG]

Kurtulmak is watching at all times. Kurtulmak is the esteemed and glorious benevolent despot of the Slaves to Armok board, which has moved beyond mortal ken.

Jonathan S. Fox is a pretty cool guy. He programs games and isn't-

OH GOD THE MODS ARE INVADING

Now now, settle down. No reason to panic.

[Ottofar]

Oh no, not again.

At the risk of sounding like an "elitist neckbeard" (as I've seen the DF forums described elsewhere), B12 forums are particularly chill, especially the GD section (whereas many, many other interest-specific boards are okay in the interest section and a flaming ball of clusterfuck in their GD section).

Why? Who knows. The kind of player that DF attracts is probably part of it, but there's also just a self-sustaining factor to it: if you're the kind of person who does well in a climate like this, you'll stay and hopefully contribute. If you're a flaming moron, a bigot, a troll, or assorted douchebag you tend not to last long around here. Either the other members give you hell and/or Toady strikes you down with his !!adamantine banhammer!!.

(Pseudo-edit: Google returns 64,100 results for "elitist neckbeard". Most of them not referencing B12.)

I've always wondered if we had that kind of reputation on other forums. Do you see that description a lot?

Kurtulmak is watching at all times. Kurtulmak is the esteemed and glorious benevolent despot of the Slaves to Armok board, which has moved beyond mortal ken.

Fun fact: Kurtulmak means "being saved" in Turkish.

There are mean people everywhere. I asked a question about TES:Morrowind a while back and the guy (who seemed like an elitist neckbeard, with that attitude) who replied turned out to be a douche. Not only he didn't properly read my question and misunderstood the problem, he gave me the "google it, bitch" attitude and I really hate it when people do that. That doesn't mean majority of the people here are mean. I don't even remember the nickname of that douchebag.

So just wait until someone nice give an answer if a douche gives you a lazy answer

Hmm... What are the lower boards and upper boards? Lower = RP, general, other; upper = DF?

The mature RP boards always amaze me though :3
Also the general boards

[Deadmeat1471]

As long as people dont sign up and advertise a game they've made, DF is pretty forgiving.
..and one of the better boards on the internets!

The lower boards is everything below Slaves To Armok & Curses. The Upper boards is all the DF stuffs.

[Max White]

Basically upper = DF
Lower = everything else.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Curses is definitely its own category though, about half of the people who post there neither post in the upper or lower boards at all.
