That's an amazing statement, because if you change the word "thread" to "forum", it's still completely true!

Amazing! ;P

Haha, you've got a good point there, but it's mainly LUL bashing we get. The other threads are rarely affected. Well, Rage's thread must have had a load of crap, but I stopped bothering with that thread around 9 months ago.

I don't think you're going too far, if I thought he was serious. I'd contact Tom/Wade, or report him.

I'm going to wait for a response from him. If he talks back at me, I won't want him posting in the Wi/Ht? forum anymore. If he's willing to learn from his mistakes, I'll still tolerate him. He's blown his second chance already and this is going to be his last one, unless he's being a total ass the next time he posts here.

As far as I'm concerned, I've never really been able to get into the General Forum at all. If you look through my post history, you'll only find maybe 3 or 4 posts in that forum in total, and all in the same thread. I happened to notice that they were talking about which language is the hardest to learn, which happens to be something of a pet topic of mine. However, to be honest, there is absolutely nothing of any worth in that forum. In fact, due to the sheer lack of maturity present therein, I tend to feel far, far older than I ought. Anyway, I would have to agree that there is a much better sense of community present within Wi/Ht? than in other forums that I've visited. It says something when even someone as verbose as I can be considered a member. :)

As for your rant, Bahamut, I would also have to lend my support thereto. There is simply no justification whatsoever for making those kinds of posts, especially given the fact that the transition from theory into practice is not lacking in precedent in various parts of the world. Fortunately, the school which I attended has an excellent bullying policy - anything which I reported (can be counted on the fingers of one hand for 7 years) was dealt with within 24 hours at the very latest. It would also help, though, if people realised that secondary education, while important, is comparatively minor in terms of personal development.

Once you leave whatever form of secondary education you attend, no-one is going to care whether or not you were popular at all. Those who are lucky enough to get into a good University, preferably one that is reasonably removed from their previous schools, will find it a fresh start in just about every way possible. Yes, secondary education can be a chore at times where the other pupils are concerned, but it's just temporary. I reckon that far too many people fail to realise this simple fact.

I hate people saying that about this forum, but I just let them be since most of those users are 13 years old kids fags that only want to piss off users, talk about porn, boring memes and more awful stuff.

I often give my opinion if the OP says something retarded, for example the other day I saw a thread complaining about why prostitution was illegal, but I had to act like an ass and telling him how retarded he was. I don't give a shit if people call me fag or anything else, there. After all, the whole NG BBS needs to have a balance of idiots and mature users.

But as I've said before, there's nothing like pointing and laughing at those idiots.

Wow, they did a great job at dealing with bullies at their school. My high school, however, I reported several people but they were never talked to. It doesn't look good on the school and sadly, not everyone will see it in my eyes. It's a shame a school like the one I used to go to gets away with making an egotistical phrase like "Simply the best." and deals with bullying very poorly. Well, it's a good thing I'm not there anymore. It was making me crazy, but I was nothing like darknessdweller.

Let's say 12 - 14 year olds and overused memes. I've seen "THIS IS SPARTA!", "It's OVER 9000!!!", rick rolls and "IMA FIRING MAH LAZOR!" so many times in the General forum, you might as well rename it to /b/.

After all, the whole NG BBS needs to have a balance of idiots and mature users.

Good thing we have forums such as Wi/Ht? and C&C and while Flash and Programming forums would have a lot of mature users as well, I never visit those forums so I can't be 100% sure, but I'll assume it anyway.

Furthermore, I don´t want the NG BBS Wi/Ht?-forum to get a bad name either.

So yeah, darknessdweller. Please think twice next time before coming up with such talk.

Yes I hear that often as well. I know a few German guys from my university and it never sounds that "hard" when I hear them talking. Not quite sure where that idea actually comes from, as it indeed doesn´t sound that much harder than Dutch.

It might be that it came from the war or something, that Germans are unfriendly and talk in an unfriendly way =/

answers appreciated.

It doesn't bother me since reviews are typically lower and slower for most people to achieve.
