I had wondered for a while why I enjoy this forum so much. Then I realized that it's because everyone argues in an educated manner. There are some pretty smart cookies on this forum :) I have more in common with the people on this forum than than other people my own age(39) . People my age talk about insurance and house payments :mad:
I would have to agree with you, fantasyjunkie. There is always something here that is interesting and entertaining, while all anyone my age seems to do is talk and complain about work. And I don't think that any of them has ever played a video game. :cat:
What the hell forum are you looking at?! :DQuote:

He's looking at this one, Sammie. There really are some smart cookies here (if you ignore the cookies that don't argue in an educated manner :) ), which really suprised me when I first registered. :)
like me?Quote:

Stop, you guys are making me blush. *giggles*
AllMost of the idiots get banned pretty early. The mods don't take any crap around here.
Yeah, most of the people are very smart. Maybe that is because this is a Final Fantasy forum, which initially attracted all the fanboys, which can be stereotyped as geeks/nerds. Thats right, you're all nerds! :(

Yeah....I have to agree. I used to be a member of MetallicA's Messagge Board which I thought was HEAVILY Guarded with great police-like Admins and Mods.................but I found out that wasn't the case and it got REALLY bad.
Fans didn't respect ANYONE's opinion/likes/dislikes/comments. ALOT of people have left that forum, it's sad as hell(it used to be a good place when I first joined, it got worse because of the lack of moderating and BAD judgement by the moderators).
Leeza is truly my idol, even if she bans me one day, I'll still stick by it.
Plus in discussions people don't resort to this like people in my class at school did.
I R DER SMARTESTEST! :hyper:
P.S. We rule.
I have to say I prefer this forum to others Ive visited as the Knights can be fair, yet get their point across also. Plus Ive made loads of friends here and the arguements are sometimes resolved.
But only about 3 people post in EoEO!
This forums ok I supppose, a bit to big for my liking but ok. In fact im suprised I havent attempted to be an ass and spam the place yet. (btw im not going to)
My poor tenhitcombo :cry: . He made me giggle.Quote:

this is better than any forum I've been on, which is obvious because the only other one I've been on was the Neopets forums. Basically, there you've got about fifty thousand users, and 99% of them are noobs, who shout, spam, tak in 1337 and generally ruin any sane thread they see. Also the mods are total bastards. They don't talk, just 'freeze' acounts. And apparently you can get unfrozen, but some guy tried for two years, and finally he gave up. And there are about ten thousand report happy nine-year olds which get you forzen for saying stuff like 'hell'.
So basically, nohing is worse then the Neopets message boards.
Also, EoFF is teh roxxors.
It's got a nice thing going 8-)
I resent being called a cookie.
I just registered on this forum like 2-3 days ago and already I'm surprised by the level of maturity from the users. I admit, I expected there to be more senseless arguing and personal fights rather than discussion.
Plus I'm awful when it comes to speaking (or typing) properly with punctuation and sentence structure, which you don't find a lot online. It drives me crazy when people use, "net speak". (Not to be rude.. I'm just picky about that.. I can't help it.)
I must say, in the past couple of days I've been thoroughly impressed by this place and everybody else around. :)
There are some pretty smart people here, but not even the smartest person here can avoid the pit sometimes. I've seen some pretty nasty attacks on people here, but EoFF is generally a clean and nice place.
The people here have an uncanny ability to mantain a sense of intelligence during an arguement - a trait lacking in many, many, people. Even those with extremist views are treated fairly, so long as they argue in a sensible way. Which is pleasantly unusual. That they are accepted, and that they argue sensibly. Heh.
People here are funny in a random sort of way. And I'll take the cookie as a compliment.
One time I thought I spotted intelligent discussion here, but it was only a pile of rags.
I often make that mistake.Quote:

One of the reasons I like this place so much. I dont claim to be overly smart, but I enjoy al the arguements and discussions here.
I like this forums!!! All peoples here are from another country, I can make friends with them! Plus, those arguement, jokes (psst...LunarWeaver....) and helping amuse me. And I like bashing FFX and praising FFVII and FFIX.
I'm a good boy, I won't get banned, but Void warned me once....
I also like this forum because it helps me to improve my English Grammar, lol my grammars sucks. English is not my official languages, so you gotta respect that, and I'm still 14, still learning English.
I have to agree. Also I like how we all respect each other and treat each other equally regardless of our age.Quote:

It's not hard to hit two other letters in "you" instead of typing "u" when you insult someone. Also a comma wouldn't hurt here and there. It's not hard to look over your post before you post it. Yet here in EoFF, it seems that others have the same thoughts as me and post in a similar fashion. So that's why i love it here. 'Cept i hate the file size limits :mad:
