The point is not to hand out badges, the point is to recognize the best aspects of our community. The point isn't for one person to get a thing to wear in their profile for a year...it's to hold up certain ideals and give them the recognition they deserve.
And I'll use your disclaimer, if you don't mind: committee, if I'm off-base here, please slap me down on this one.  |
Being new here, I don't want to ruffle too many feathers, but When I read Zombie, I was quite pleased to have become part of this community.
Having been a moderator on other fairly large forums in the past, I know what happens when trolls run free, and I was very surprised and pleased to see what this community did to that thread. It showed that no matter what is said, the community as a whole will stick together and try to continue to promote their main goal, which is enjoying the sub sim's and other like things.
As I said, reading that thread made my happy to be here. I Know I dont have a lot of to offer in historical research or knowledge, or mods, or even gameplay experience, but I would like to think that even wacko like me can find a home in a community like this.
