I've been spending a little bit of time at another forum (blasphemy!) during the slow periods of IW (ie. midday Australian time), and have come to realise a few things.
Without mentioning the name of the other popular forum (and no Melusine, it's not your excellent one
), I've realised that people are much more real at Ironworks (Escape) and tend to use their brains a lot more. This really comes out when discussions about political or worldwide issues arise. Whereas a lot of people seem to jump to conclusions and be extremely opinionated at the other forum, you guys here seem to be able to discuss things rationally and with thought for others.
I'm sure this has a lot to do with the moderators at this site, and their ability to keep control of things, but I also think it shows the quality of the individuals that populate this forum.
Today has been a big day for me, and I think it will change my outlook on life a bit. I just wanted you all to know, that you ROCK!
Ben.
