Thread: big ups gsiv community

  1. #1

    Default big ups gsiv community

    As someone who has recently come back (yet again), wanted to say I've had a ton of positive interactions within the GSIV community. My first impression of these boards is a community that comes across as somewhat toxic due mostly to the vitriol that goes back and forth on the politics forums. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to hide them and have people voluntarily elect to see them? Anyway, the lich help channel is new to me and most people have been great on there. Whenever I ask for assistance multiple people are quick to assist. Love a channel that encourages helping others out and may even convince old or new players to stay.

    TLDR: My first impression wasn't great but it's obvious theres plenty of people who are working towards making this a fun community. To all of those individuals - thank you.
    The only rude person I met was a taxi driver in kagoshima. I was going from the train station to the ferry to take it over to an island and was showing him my papers and he was like "oh, climb mountain?" and I'm like "hai, yep!" and he made a muscle pose(bent arm, whatever you call it) laughed, and rubbed my belly.. like "oh, no, you fat american fuck, you no get up there", but whatever - Japhrimel

    Just use the New Posts button. It's 95% GSIV related posts with a couple of politics threads mixed in.

    It's really just 2-3 people who are complete trash. Everyone else is a normal adult.

    Or don't be bothered by random people who are abrasive? You could do that.

    Look at Alastir pretending he's above it all.

    Arguing over politics has been a thing since we crawled out of caves. Raging over trinkets from a text based game, well, most of us get the picture.

    It's very easy to just not read the political threads.

    When I don't feel like reading them, I do this. It has a 100% success rate:

    Welcome back! First thing you should do is change your name as it's way too close to Alastir's and you don't want to be like that guy.

    Also, the whole "OMG I HATE POLITICS FOLDER CAN U HIDE 4 ME PLS" has been hashed, rehashed and triple hashed on these boards for years. It's big boy time... just click on New Posts or Today's Posts and don't click on any thread that is in the political folder. It's pretty easy... so easy even someone like Backlash could probably do it with some training.
