Very nicely said! Me, I'm sort of fine with it being this way, actually, and I don't have any lofty ideals of clarity. More of the high-falutin' conceptual threads that we associate with Guardian or aderack would certainly be welcome, though I must admit I'm more interested in talking about movies or music than videogames, lately. Actually, when I feel like talking about videogames I end up wandering over to TGQ, mainly because they seem generally more PC-friendly around there and the newest console I own is a PS2, still. So. I'm planning playing lots of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. later on this week, though, so we'll see where that goes.
Anyway, um. I think I've been getting along with folks much more smoothly than I did back at IC, now that no one seems to get upset when I come off as slightly self-important. Or maybe I just don't come off that way so much anymore. I still have small problems with the class clowns around here, but I generally keep that to myself, since it's pretty much a major part of SB and, well, I'm just antitype (a C-list forum member). I try to be cool and do my thing, and I find that this usually works out well enough. There are also the more "gamery" types that I kind of ignore, and I think that's OK, too.
Ultimately, I wouldn't say that SB has been a huge improvement from IC in regards to clarity or purpose (James kept us focused, if nothing else), but I'm enjoying myself more.

I don't think James understands people quite like he seems to believe he does. It's like he thinks he's playing therapist, but instead of talking and listening he insults you relentlessly, raving like a madman until maybe you think he's got a point and you see the error of your ways -- but mostly you're just thinking he's a huge fucking asshole. And then when you're angry with him he finds some way to blame you. He accuses you of being unreasonable, or his favorite: autistic. Nobody wants that kind of "blunt honesty". If we need therapy we'll talk with friends or pay someone who's actually qualified to provide it.

Hey Toups, I know I make my little petulant remarks from time to time, and (because) I'm pretty sure you don't think much of me, but even though I (like thatbox) view this as "our forum" I respect you for stepping to the plate and caring enough to make sure this forum is as cool as it can be.

It'd be cool if the IC color theme also changed the big orange and green SELECTBUTTON logo to a nice purple/grey one.
