All in favour of making FifthFiend an honorary Greek God, say Aye.

Aye.

I mean, he's perfect for it. He's pretty much all-powerful, he can punish people for no reason, and if you don't know about him yet, you've been here for less than 5 minutes. I love it!

Also... I hope Althane is only temporarily banned... because that would mean that I have a much better chance of having a temporary ban, too. I mean... Fifthfiend has an itchy trigger finger, a hair trigger, semi-automatic fire, and homing banbullets. There's no way I'm getting out a ban for nominating him for God status...

Kerensky:

First and foremost: Fake banned Althane be.

Secondly, nothing AGAINST Fifthfiend, but come on, guys.

Just come on, by now. Fifth understands what I'm getting at, because SERIOUSLY, come on.

as long as you never EVER attack Chrono Trigger in any way shape or form, you will be spared the wrath of Fithfiend

Oh.

Oh thank god.

And no, I don't mean Fifth. He's not an honorary greek god yet.

Anyway. Let's get this thread back on topic. NPF is generally a well-structured forum, where everyone gets fair treatment whether they're longtime, regular posters, new, once-a-month posters, or anything in between. I know quite a few forums where it's either become a dictatorship or... umm... anti-dictatorship. You know, where the n00bs flood the forums, chasing off newbs and striking fear into the hearts of the veterans. I'm glad to say that at NPF, trolls are dealt with, newbs are treated with patience and kindness, vets are fine examples of forum members and mods give justice where it is needed.

Sorry for the confusion.

IMHO

I've been an admin on several forums for hardware, gaming, competitive gaming leagues, and the like.

There is a fine line between over moderation, and under moderation. Either done in copious amounts is childish and counter productive. However by in large if you have a group of people that share the same interests the community self moderates.

I haven't been around here long enough to judge, so I won't.

That said both sides have some good points. A lot of great forums moderate well, yet have a "have at it" section, and they can jail people to said region if they get out of hand. I guess it's a solution from temp bans.

In the end it's not about rules, mods, it's just about the people. If somebody doesn't fit in they don't last long, if the community is a good one.

I can honestly say that I've never met a nicer* group of people. I mean, they even can type properly here! This place is an oasis of awesome in the wasteland that is the internet. Good on ya, NPF.

*for a given value of nice.

Hey, can anyone photoshop Mammothtank's avatar?

I really want to see his Happy Pichu image with "FUCKING BANNED" written all across it.

...I don't know any GIF image shopping...

Anyway!

That's the main reason I like this forum so much. DustLoop forum is chock-full of "Why aren't we talking about Guilty Gear?" MiseTings is...well...barbaric. MySpace is so full of bots I can't even browse without having some miscellaneous random chick message me with "Be my friend!"

And I come here. No bullshit, no stupidity, and cool people.

And hey. I have a gay lover here. You don't get that many places.
