Read my original post on the topic.

I did and got a headache.

:wacko:

Well do you want me to reword it or something?

No, don't bother. Bottom line: "Long" (as you say) aka one paragraph posts do not make a topic/discussion better. Thought and care must be put in these posts in order for it to contribute; plus some maturity from said poster. Why is it that when members seem to mature, TBT does not?

1) Who's saying TBT members have matured?
2) How is TBT not mature? By not allowing topics about politics?
3) Who are the "TBT members"? Clearly everyone isn't acting in unison. Sure, maybe some member have grown up a little, but how does that change anything? Any forum is still going to have a wide variety of members.

1. I did :| Right in the post you quoted.
2. I never said it isn't matured. I said it hasn't. Its like saying you are acting stupid. I'm not saying you are stupid.
3. TBT members that have been here for at least 1.5 years.

1) Well since when were you the all mighty decision maker?
2) Then I guess the question is: Why would it need to "mature" if it already is and has been? It depends what you mean by "mature" in terms of TBT. Like I asked in my last #2, do you think it's because discussions about things like politics aren't allowed?
3) See, what you're doing is trying to create a TBT for a certain people. And if we did that we would never grow and everything would be boring.

Why can't we all get along? It seems like every topic I go into is a flame war. If we would respect each other a little bit more, maybe there wouldn't be some many bans and warns. If anyone ever says something mean to me, I just leave the topic and ignore that user for awhile. I have been seeing a ton of spam here since the day I first joined, and that needs to be stopped. You spam, you then get warned. Once you're warned enough, you get banned. That should be expected on every forum. I hope I got my point across at least a little bit. >_<

1. No one did. I just notice change in posts



2. I'm asking the question to get an answer. Not to get more questions.
3. I'm not trying to do anything. I'm just saying the only way for me to notice change in a member is if they've been here for around 1.5 years.

There's a difference between discussing in flaming. Don't get me wrong though, both have happened in this thread. But if you're talking about the discussion between prop and I, well I wouldn't call that flaming.

We aren't having a flame war. Storm and I are talking about a project as this is going on.

OK, it's perfectly fine for me to ask a question. <.< I can't answer you if you don't answer the question first.

3) On this #3, we weren't talking about noticing members changing, we were talking about TBT as a constantly growing place that isn't based on just members that have been here for a long time.

Answer my question before I answer yours then.

3. Maybe you are, but I never touched that.


:huh:

I can't unless you tell me what you mean by TBT, separate from the members, as being "mature". I don't really see how it could be without being related to the community (members).

I mean TBT as the TBT community.

I mean TBT as the TBT community.

But what you were originally asking is: "If the members (TBT community) have changed, why hasn't TBT". So you were saying the community HAS changed, but saying TBT hasn't. And I was asking what you mean because I don't think TBT, aside from the community, can be mature or not mature.

I don't see how you don't get it. I have explained that I mean the members that have been here for at least 1.5 years.

So you're saying the members who have been here for 1.5 years have matured? Or they have not matured?

I'm saying that I can tell. I wouldn't say someone has matured if I couldn't tell.


:huh:

Ok, maybe you're saying you can tell now, but I'm talking about your original topic still... :wacko:

:huh:

I don't think your original topic is about how you can tell that people are more mature...

 

[Furry Sparks]

Well, I don't really think I need to type a paragraph for most things... because there haven't really been any good discussions here, and most of them time when there are, they turn into flamewars, or by the time I see the thread its dead or locked because my sister hogs the computer all the time. And plus, why should I waste time arguing with people I don't even know about things that I really shouldn't care that much about?

oh, I didn't read all the other posts yet, I will in a sec.

I never even talked about how. I've said that I am able to tell because 1.5 years gives me the time to know them over the internet. It is a branch of my original topic.

Well I was talking about when you said that "members have matured, but TBT hasn't", or something like that.

btw, single smiley posts are like as bad if not worse than just saying "qft" <_<
