Really, guys! Come on and lighten up! In the past week, I can't name how many threads I've been in where people are grousing at one another, complaining about other people's sigs (we're working on that, BTW), acting snotty when someone asks a simple question or makes a request, making editorial comments when someone makes a post, taking high-handed, officious attitudes with other members...I mean, really! [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img]
What happened to the friendly environment we used to have in here? I certainly hope this isn't the way those of you who are doing this treat people in RL. Now let's lighten up, or I'm going to start a "Random Acts of Kindness/Senseless Acts of Virtue" thread. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] Over and out,

In the past week? Hm, I've been noticing a non-IW-ish atmosphere around here for a couple of months now....

Grrr, how DARE you suggest that SOME of us are ACTUALLY being rude to one another you [Censored for the younger members] ! *Grabs stick of the wall. Seriously though, I think Sazy is right. Especially political discusions seem to be the cause of this *Looks ashamed.

Well, I'll take a quote from the Real World. The reason why this is all happening is (I think) because "People stop being nice, and start getting real" hehe.

Well, I'd consider it a reality fact really. I mean no one is going to hold America a peacful country so to say. Or any community will not be all friendly and nice and kind in all ways to each other, at least not forever. Its more of a reality aspect, as a community grows, there will be different discussions, more discussions, more heated topics that eventually will lead to heated discussions. I mean America as I know, was a very peacful and a nice country before. But when many many pepople like myself included imigrated to America, it became bigger, and much more unstable so to say, un-controlled, and well people stopped being nice, and got real so to say. So IronWorks grew and more people came, different people hehe. But truly I must say the last few weeks have been heated, but not to a huge extent. Its was pretty cool and fun here actually, at least for me hehe.
IronWorks "A GREAT FUN FEELING, NO MATTER WHAT!" Orbit Gum "A BETTER CLEAN FEELING, NO MATTER WHAT!" You get the idea .
