We Rule!

[unmerged(23255)]

After playing a couple other games recently, sports sims actually, and roving there boards, we are so much more together and to the point than what I saw there it made me feel good about our community here. HOI players, and paradox in general are definatly a cut above. Just sign me, proud to be a paradoxian.

 

[Mr.G 24]

Although I sometimes do not agree with there policies, there publishers policies, Paradox is a very well kept hardcore community that thanks to the most part of the mods and admins, it is well policed, as a lack of words.

Just a lot less in-fighting and useless flaming compared to some others. Also community is very helpful regarding noobs, without being condesending.

 

[unmerged(16843)]

Good company, great moderators, and a pretty good community. It's human nature to stray off-topic, but we do a fairly good job of staying on topic and helping out. There are times, however, where this is less than true. I am as guilty as anybody in doing this. o

 

[Mr.G 24]

Oh yea, before I forget, the modereator gzav has been a sight for soar eyes around here.

 

[elbasto]

I agree, some months ago I stopped over the Total War forum... tsktsktsk.

Hear Hear!

Yay for Gzav!


Yes, other forums tend to get out of hand real quick. I think our advantage is that HoI tends to attact a certain type of person (See Myer-Briggs poll) and we tend to be the more reasonable(?) people.

So even when you guys are wrong (and I AM RIGHT) like normal we still get along.

Even our spammers make sense

I suppose one reason could be that there are a lot of old farts in this forum (like me). Usually we're not that quick to start flaming and spread foul words about eachother.
Or maybe I'm the ONLY old fart past 30 here.. then my theory are wrong

...and just what the h*ll does this have to do with the game?

 

[Henry v. Keiper]

This is the only online forum I've ever been to that didn't make me want to kill all its members.

Thats funny. I feel quite the opposite.

Well considering that one forum involved a Stalinist administrator who called any argument against his normal view points spam and censured any small denial that Nintendo was the shiznit AND let his girlfriend pick fights with every body in every post...and the other forum involved a bunch of Europeans who liked talking every day in every post about how bad all Americans were...

...yes, I am very happy to be here. I like the people, and it serves a purpose. Oh yeah, and the AAR's are fun to read.

I was referring to you 'killing' ME in a recent AAR.

There's an outside- really?

 

[gzav]

I'd be inclined to not move this thread to OT, because after all, we do rule , but stay on topic of the HoI forum then.

 

[J.J.E.]

Yeah HoI forum is the best. 'nuff said.

 

[Maximilian I]

three hoorays for the HoI forum!

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

No.....you are not alone.....I am 35 now, with 25 Years of Gaming expierince. If I learn english now better....maybe all went good

And I love this forum too. Look at my join date -->

I believe this forum is so good, because we have here a majority of intelligent, historic interested and competent Gamers, who loves the fact, that after years of starving there rised a company out of the ashes to give us the game, we waited so long about..... Until now, i had many WW2-Strategy-Games. But there were no such good Game like HoI.

The next thing who helps this comunity to stay intact.....is the fact, that HoI is far from beeing perfect in AI-Singleplayer. So, we all come back to look if something new (1.06b ....1.07....) is here.

Nice to know, that HoI2 is comming. Maybe we all will be here in 2008....if HoI3 will be announced.

When I look around in this forum I see many honorable people, right-hearted, brilliant and kind from all over the globe sharing a fascination for history. Glad to be a part of it.
