As a community SB is somewhere between "totally fucking awesome!" and "good on its good days." but as a platform for serious discussion it's usually "eh." Now all we need is to figure out what we want it to be, cause getting the best of both worlds sadly doesn't seem to be an option anymore.

I also vouch for the unbanning of James. I'd rather have half of the Axe-only crew banned than him.

A good way to improve the standards of discourse would be to stop ignoring random inflammatory BS like this:

sorry but saying this place isn't "serious" enough and is too "gamery" coming from someone that did post furry porn doesn't jive.

What? As far as I know, his (hypothetical) sexual kinks have had zero influence on his participation in discussions on these boards. Why do you obsess about them?

Let's talk about monochrome gameboy games being lonely some more.

Why do you even post here if you're so cynical about the way some things end up being discussed here? Because, pretentious as they may be, these type of ideas eventually will lead to more interesting thoughts being expressed than in any other threads. Leave shit be if you don't have anything of value to say.

(not that I'd agree with the sentiment that monochrome games are "lonely", huff huff)

Yeah, I'm gonna have to go on record saying that it was the smug, pretentious rambling that got me interested in IC in the first place. I would absolutely prefer that to yet more "gamer" oriented discussion. I think there's probably room for both, though!

Agreed on all counts. There are other communities for gaming talk, some which are actually better suited for that then SB (SA gaming forum, for example, it even has it's own gaming Axe now!), but the SB and TGQ flavour of taking the medium way too seriously was, is and hopefully will be my main reason for coming here.

That, and the distinct personalities a lot of the members have. You don't get that as much elsewhere.
