I am another of the ones who were startled by Evaders's post. I'm on dial-up, and I know how long the bigger images may take to load, but at the end most of them provide one good laugh, or one of mask's proposal's for event pictures. This site is a gaming site dedicated to SW:Rebellion, so I understand why the main topic should be the game and not or little "role-plays" with Zoot, etc, but again these "games" have helped to reinforce the feeling of a community, and makes me think of Scath, Elvis, Jahled, SOCL, mask and all the other of friends and not simply some name attached to an avatar in some SW gaming site. I know this isn't justification for some of the nonsense around, like things regarding Jahled and a tree, or some other useless discussions. Recently the page has received more visits, the statistics sys tat we have already surpassed amount of visits of last year, in this four months. Scathane, who joined in February has over 1200 posts, and other new members hve been very active. Would Igor rather pay our antics or pay for empty forums? The site has just over 1700 members and less than 100 are active members, other simply post a question from time to time, other are too sporadic. In between "nonsense" discussion are always interesting topics that are discussed. The Yuuzhan Vong, the Dark Side, the Chiss, etc... Some interesting topics have come up from breaking out of the original topic, even if it is myself to argue what the CIA factbook says about my country, or talking to SOCL in spanish. A topic is like the start of a path that continuosly forks itself, always depending on the reply of the next person. I agree with SOCL that seeing such strict rules with the title All Read, may scare soem sporadic or inactive members. I also agree with Jahled, that some of the nonsense may bring some people back to the site, look at some of the members who were quite active even if they did not own the game. Years ago when I first found this site, I started downlaoding all kinds of stuff I found, I spent hours at Zeblork's site loking for cards, or at John Ston'e site downloading event pictures, somewhere in some back-up CD there even is the RebEd Girls Calendar. When the site was redesigned, I joined pretty early on, member nr. 20, I kept pretty quiet for some months, and then I put in some suggestions for Reb II and then some. At first, I didn't feel part of the community, then after some comments or other "nonsense" talk I began to feel ... engaged with the community, talking, joking, joining the RPG at page five, with long, long posts. Joining the DLL guys and Cards group, is the very least I could do for a nice little hole on the net, where I felt part of the community. If you look at the theforce.net forums, only the books forums are huge you easily get lost in it, unlike SWR.COM's, there you don't have the armosphere that exist in these forums. I know that I have contributed with nonsense (Zoot, Hutt Illustrated, I-am-a-Yuuzhan-Vong-and-I-will-kill-you,-you-infidel-aberration, etc.) I have not kept within the boundaries of a topic(for better or worse), I have "role-played" out of the forums (even if it was to cheer Elvis after his incident), and I have posted pretty big images (to entertain, at least that was my aim); so it is possible that you could suspend my account for breaking the rules. Knowing myself, I'll feel resented and offended by it. i'd would understand a suspension, if I had started insulting other members, or insulting their beliefs or opinions, but not for posting stuff that could make people lauch or at least smile, or even interest them. I apologize if some of this sounded sarcastic, or even attacking, but I'm only human (despite my avatar) and I react to being startled.
