I don't have a problem with your posts. Some periods would be nice though. Think of them like chocolate chips, sprinkle a few in there.

I love this quote.

Wouldn't those leave brown stains?...

The periods I mean, not the chocolate chips...

This isn't the first time I've said it when these threads or comments pop-up here (which they have before more than once), the community here at RacketBoy really does seem to be a bit abrasive towards newcomers. I certainly felt it when I first joined, and I don't have too many grammatical problems (never said I was an English major, though, lol).

The more the merrier! As long as they aren't trolls, we should welcome everyone happily.

You haven't been on many forums if you honestly believe this.

Lol, Racketboy is probably the least abrasive community around. Try skimming Gamefaqs forums sometimes. Holy crap.

Thirded. Just from my personal experience, I love the Neo-Geo.com forums, but it's a completely different flavor from Racketboy.

Let me put it this way -- Racketboy wants to hold your hand; Neo-Geo wants to burn it.

I'm not sure I've never seen anyone on NG.com posting without using periods, because they'd probably have gotten flamed off the site long ago.

Well not trolls, no, but some of you guys seems to have a way to make people feel like they should know all the ticks, rules, and habits of this community and make sure and let new people know when they aren't.

My wrestling message board is a very small and close-knit group of people, so it is different there. My comic book message board is pretty dang active with lots of people, though, and it feels much more welcoming and helpful community. However compared to other gaming communities, yeah this one is one of the better ones. For some reason, gaming communities are the rowdiest of my online nerd communities. Quick to judge and insult other gamers at a lot of other places. Probably because a lot of them are still kids.
