Everyone is so friendly!

[rdmx]

In my little while of inhabiting the forums, i've not seen a single flame post! Everyone accepts everyone else's opinions. It's a nice little community. I never knew "Let's be friends!" was really taken into account in quite this manner!

That is what will keep me here as an avid WipEout fan.:nod

[andy]

:nod Indeed. :nod

The first forum I went to was the Official PSP Forum. The moderaters were corrupt, power-hungry and useless; there would be a massive row every 5 minutes and nothing ever worked out. Every thread had a swear in it too. That forum was full of sweaty adolescents waiting to pounce on any mistake you made ready with a volley of insults. There were some good people there, but mainly it was a disaster.

Then I came here and it was amazing :nod. Everyone was happy and saying nice stuff. No-one was flaming and people accepted each others opinions. The moderation works :+ and people get along nicely.

:) Its a nice place to be :)

:D :+ Keep up the good work people:+ :D

[Dominator]

Yeah it is nice, real nice!! :nod i can't get enough of this place, i keep coming back for more...:D

[Hellfire_WZ]

Always has been, it's something we pride ourselves on. Rob's done a fantastic job of encouraging this atmosphere. :)

[Albino Ace]

I've noticed this as well...its almost like a Utopia...

Even if this board is mainly about the Wipeout series, I think the entire planet could learn from the way this forum functions. :nod

Do they earn a lot ?
Cause here i am only paid by people ( thx paypal ;) ) to take Ag Sys rather than my triakis when they fight me into Kai :redface:

[Lion]

paypal account details please ;) I think it's worth a go :p

seriously though, that got an audible laugh out of me :)

[lunar]

Bring on your Triakis, matey, on Kai the Goteki 45 team will never surrender. Only defeating Triakis brings true joy. ;)

the Lancinator for President? Why not!? :)

I can`t remember a flame post here for, well, probably over a year actually. Congrats to the mods and admin who must be getting it right.

[Rapier Racer]

To Wipeoutzone the friendliest forum on the net :beer:beer

Dayum, I wish now that I had the skills; I could use a little extra income. ;) ;D

Nothing's changed there now, it has to be said. The Moderators still can't tell the difference between a good argument and one that's gone completely out of control; and I'll never forget the horror show that was EasyDuz14, quite possibly the worst flamer I've ever seen.

As already said, this forum's moderated far better, and the atmosphere's much friendlier. :)

A utopia - yes! well said :)

I've had my moments of over correctiveness here ....'till I make a mistake myself , resulting as a flame from either Lance, Task, Infoxicated or even Asayyeah - then I decide it's time for me to shut-up. :D

But no, most of us prefer to save such rivalry for the race track/battle field. ;)

Long live Team Goteki!! :pirate

[JABBERJAW]

I remember a good flame about DR. I think that's how assayeah became a moderator. He was the only one not agitated.

[q_dmc12]

DR you say ....huh, don't remember him:sonar

[Lance]

:D Laughin' out loud here. :)

The cult of tDR is a wondrous thing. {Where's that really biG eyeroll icon when ya need one?}

[Albino Ace]

It probably went to Alaska for vacation. LOL

Anyway....Assayeah became a mod because of a flame?

[infoxicated]

Arnaud became a mod because he's put a whole lot into this community, and his passion for Wipeout is unquestionable. Plus he's always trying to improve his times and is one of the fastest pilots we have here, so he's the perfect man to monitor the record tables.

Lance became a moderator because he stepped in to sort out an argument between myself and Nuworld. But lets not go there again.

As for the other moderators, I've just gotten a feeling about them. Maybe I'm a good judge of character. ;)

[Shem]

glad i'm not a mod now...i'd ban everyone for disliking chemical brothers...maybe i should get into some sort of an argument, maybe that'd work;)

[Smoothly Does It]

I suspect that the day AG-5Y55135 are allowed to be mods, old man lucifer'll be asking for someone to pass the Lemsip

does that help in your quest for an argument shem? :blarg

/me is going to continue blatantly ignoring Foxxy's avatar

[Shem]

....and then i'd ban 1337 talk.

Smoothly, didn't you see that ;) smiley at all?

PS. I was completely drunk when i wrote my previous post anyway. God damned hangover... :/

[Lance]

''....and then i'd ban 1337 talk.''
Me too. :)

[Shem]

wait a second...Lance...what's that under your name? hm.... is that...? is that 'MODERATOR' written there? Yeah I it is....yeah.....WHY DON'T YOU BAN 1337 TALK THEN!? :)

[Lance]

[Checks to see if it's the admin's policy.] Darn. Not so far.

[Asayyeah]

''....and then i'd ban 1337 talk.''
Me too. :)
And me ban all those 1337 nicknames into the record tables.:sonar
Ben tried to teach me the basis of l3tt3rs : i couldn't even decode my name in this shitty language !

[infoxicated]

There are l33t names in the record tables?

I'll need to take a look and delete them.

[Asayyeah]

oups it was just a thought of me if i see leet names into the tables in next future...
:paperbag

[Zerow]

l337 talk is okay IMO as long as it's reserved for an occasional joke (it can be hilarious when implemented well).

But I agree that it can become wearsome after a while if people continuously say, "LOL, | P\/\/|\|£D Y0|_| n00b!!1!".

Yes! it is true, and i am happy to be part of the community here, i have made many new friends and enjoy it (although i wish i could visit more often as i am usually busy)

[q_dmc12]

14 14|\|9|_|3 357 4|\/||_|53|\/|3|\|7 !

But no, seriously - this is okay once in a while, I limit myself alot.

Althought there are times when I have to defend my my reputation in a 1337 war ;)

[Albino Ace]

I always thought if you can actually READ that, then you spend too much time online... XD

[Lion]

I usually can read it fine, though at about 1/3 normal reading speed.
but I had to take several runs at what q_dmc12 wrote before I could read it

[q_dmc12]

that's because I translated it to french first - just a little test for arnaud;)

@Ace: I have known leet for only about 3 years and have been continuously learning it since. Too much time online? - maybe, but I'm not an online junkie ....getting close though:frown:

[Asayyeah]

it's not because you are a bad teacher Ben , i am only a bad leet student who doesn't really want to learn that %#!*%? language ;)

[Zerow]

What if your lessons are a little simpler:

A = /\

B = |3

C = [

D = |)

E = £

Feel free to PM me if you want me to teach you further. ;)

[eLhabib]

no offense or anything, but in my humble opinion, if you think this is cool, that's pretty sad actually... the only fun thing with 1337 language is making fun of 1337 language.

[Shem]

100% with you eLhabib

[Dominator]

I kinda think it's cool not being able to understand 1337 language!!:D

[Lance]

.
What was the topic of this thread?
.

[Dominator]

Lets be friends!! ;)

[Albino Ace]

I don't think 1337 promotes friendship and peace between teams... it promotes wackyness.

my opinion anyway :D

[Shem]

well, l33t is for 'elite' so it's definetly against pace between teams and pilots themselves. I'm just very glad, that here, we don't use that silly little nerdy l33t talk at all.
Come to think of it, after what i've heard about other forums, It's very unlikely, that i'd go and see what they're like. Me like it here. Me happy :)

[q_dmc12]

I don't think 1337 promotes friendship and peace between teams... it promotes wackyness.

my opinion anyway :D
A little bit of wacky is okay now and then :)

@ zerow: actually the decryption goes like this:

A = 4
B = 8
C - <
D = D or |> or i guess ])
E = 3
F = F
G = 9

...etc.

This explains it better and I'm sure will end this discussion :nod : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet

[jospicy]

i think the general rule is that the more pissed off you want people to be reading it the more creative you are with you construction...

[Albino Ace]

Well, yeah a little wacky is cool. Perhaps thats not the right term...

I still don't know how you can read that :o

[q_dmc12]

very carefully (because I am leet/elite) ;)

[Lance]

Elite in which fields of knowledge and activity?

[rdmx]

In the field of leet.:D

[Asayyeah]

I think we are going too far from the original subject and nothing more can be written on this , so i am gonna close that topic ( ermmm yes the title from that thread is ' everyone is so friendly ' closing it means i am not :D )

Dig up an old thread talking about leet if you want :)
