Amen to that! I used to consider boardsus.playstation.com (official Playstation forums) to be my "home forum". But the more time I spent here the more I couldn't stand the idiots over there. Grammar is not enforced, there are ten threads of the same topic on the first page of any given subforum, etc, etc. Exactly the opposite here. Sure, you get a few people who use horrible grammar and a couple of reposts here, but the grammar is almost always corrected and reposts tend to be mistakes as opposed to laziness.
Very few forums can match GTP in staff, appearance, and organization. You start to take it for granted until you go to a different forum. I've actually been to a few forums that have stickies for new members to read that have made me not go to that site. I won't hide it. It was
www.runehq.com (probably the best website for Runescape...Yeah, I used to play a lot!). Join up and read some of the stickies. You would be amazed at what they say new members CANNOT do. I understand completely that they don't want people coming in and wreaking havoc with threads asking for help, but they are way past obsessed.
Anyways, back on topic...
Jordan, I want to extend a personal Thank You for taking the time to create this place several years ago and continue to keep upgrading it into what it has become today. You run this thing mostly from you own wallet because you
want to. I know it isn't much, but I'll continue to renew my yearly membership for as long as I use this site.
And for the rest of the staff...
I think we have the most colorful staff of any place I've ever been to. We have
Faminein his
Indigo...Err, wrong kind of color! Every staff member is pretty laid back and do their share of telling off the troublemakers in the most humorous way they can. They all (mostly) have a great sense of humor and allow many borderline threads to continue on for the sake of humor as long as it doesn't get out of control.
This round's on me...!
