Maxi sent me a PM about his earlier comment and instead of replying to him, I wanted to reply to everyone.
Stogi my comment about stickying Bill's topic came of as condisending.I just want people to get along and be nice to each other. That wasn't a good idea.Stickying the thread.
The idea was fine. I'm more concerned about everyone's new idea for the forums. As a long time poster, I have said and done many despicable things for the sake of hilarity. For instance, I'd make fun of Bill by saying his fantasy was to have Link break into his house and rape him.....,,,over and over again. It's been such a long running joke that I honestly can't remember the first time I made it up. That, by what maybe our new standards, is completely unacceptable and that makes me frightened by the future.
I remember way back when, when I used my original handle, how great these forums were. People would mock each other, clown each other, and generally disrespect each other entirely; but when it came down to a discussion, we enlightened each other; inspired each other. I don't think that core has left, but faded. All we need is some more discussions and more personality so when one poster says something horrid, it'll be taken as a joke rather than an insult.
