what kind of nation should we build? a good nation? a nation of plenty? a nation of muffled joy?
I talked to him a bit with it around the time that happened outside this forum. It wasn't so much that particular thread, it's just that he felt (and I agreed with him) in that subforum has a "**** you, you're wrong *plugs ears*" attitude. I get that some people like to argue, but that's not fun for everyone. The worst part is how most people claim that they are simply debating when all they are doing is getting in a dick measuring contest to see who can write the most paragraphs while purposely taking other people's posts out of context in a very sad and pathetic way to feel superior to one another.
That being said, that's why I tend to gravitate towards less controversial topics or advice ones. That and I seldom visit that part of the forums. Why put that kind of stress on yourself? I don't want to waste my free time arguing over something with people that I'd rather get along with.
A few of us were just talking about that in chat, actually. And, honestly, from what I gathered, we feel about the same. It seems to be the least welcoming part of the forums. It just saddens me to see someone like him leave chat as well. Granted, Chat isn't full of the mostly likable people either. Hopefully you both come around there more often, actually. Just... you know... when we're paying attention or alive.

yeah, come hang out and trout
I am here in the forums a lot. I used to go into chat because I had more opportunities too. On the weekend I used to go to edczxcvbnm's place and have my laptop off to the side while I interacted with people at his place. Since he moved to the city, people now come to my place to hang, and my laptop is hooked to my TV that everyone uses. While I can find times to goof here and there during my third shift at work to post, live chat it a whole different game. I am interrupted/have to do work so much it wouldn't be worth it. Plus, I have tried stopping by during official breaks and it is DEAD every time I go in. Then again, this is usually around 3:30am US central time so......
I'm sure everyone but the EoEO opinion police share your sentiment.
there was a picture here
I am okay with using Sephex's post as the description.
Almost every member here is actually just another one of my accounts to help me cope with my awfully sheltered life. If you know you're not, you're one of the few who actually stumbled across this site with a legitimate interest in Final Fantasy.
I was so ready to post in that thread and march into battle before I realized the thread was nearly a year old.
I already bumped it once.
It's an eternally relevant kind of thread.
