Kudos to this community
Maybe it's self evident to everyone here but I'm somewhat new and it is refreshing to be part of a group where everyone seems so nice and helpful.
I've posted several times on here and people seem to really be trying to be helpful and the discussions are good. I think you all should be proud to have this sort of place for people who play GURPS. To the degree playing a game reflects on your personalty in general GURPS gets kudos too. |

Re: Kudos to this community
Thank you, it really is an awesome community.
The mods are on top of spam and curtail bad posts but are not overbearing about it. And most people who post a question can get an answer, especially if the subject title tells everyone what they are asking about. Of course some thread drift is inevitable and sometimes the answers overly complicated. But few people are actual troublemakers and those that are dont usually last long.

Re: Kudos to this community
Glad you're here!
I agree with comments above. It's a combination of the moderators dealing with problems before they get too far out of hand which is a big help, and the GURPS community. I've run and played GURPS in home games, at schools, online, at conventions, and even over the telephone. The few times someone was not friendly and cooperative stand out because they were quite rare. One of the things I like best about GURPS is the people I've gamed with!

Re: Kudos to this community
For a company who named one of their sub-forums for the goddess of strife, there are surprisingly few trolls here.

Re: Kudos to this community
Going to have to join the hugbox here - this is an unusually well informed, polite and friendly community which is much appreciated.
And yes, as previously noted, we have good mods - I even recall an incident where one admitted that they had made a mistake and reversed a ruling, which almost never happens on a lot of boards. Says a lot for the community that it didn't turn into the sort of powerplay that might have occurred elsewhere. |

Re: Kudos to this community
I really do like that when people get into discussions around here it's about scientific and historical minutiae rather than fan stuff.

The scientific and historical prowess of this forum is impressive. In most rooms, I'm close to the expert on pre-1950's history, geography, and non-medical science. On this forum? I'm a novice. It's awesome and wonderful.
