I'm not worried, but you seem to be, so let me give you a nice couple thousand words to reassure you there is no need to be worried while i take a break and go to prepare some dinner..at 2am.
word of mouth is a lot stronger than you think. I am certain there is no "tipster" going around everywhere telling people to come. its more like curiosity from the MODDB removal, and people talking to each other on friends lists etc. even if a few thousand people sign up, its nothing compared to the massive communities out there with tens of thousands.
this is the ONLY kind of people, and overall shit i want to avoid, and why i said "keep this place a secret"..
I don't want facepunchers/anything even %5 similar to them here, or the fiendish and desperate behavior that place breeds & tolerates. Thats why its there, if it wasnt, there would probably be a few of them here. it's the internets dumpster and i salute it for hosting the internet's trashy characters, making it a haven for those who need purpose.
tolerating offensive/shameful behavior, essentially promotes and encourages it as well. ive never understood the transsexual diva-like attitudes they seem to emulate and glorify at facemunch, the level of disrespect, overall jealousy and thirst for popularity and recognition found there is very embarrassing to witness... and this is coming from me, im usually down for Anything and am sometimes called "crazy", rightfully so
i dont have a Download, Mapping, Scripting, Texture, resource links etc categories for people to share & discuss, cause if i did, there would be people posting their work, and other looking to "beat" them, creating competition where there is no desire or need for that here
as you can see, all of us here are mellow & respectful for the most part, as it should be.
i made sure to be a MAJOR turn off for "i wanna get famous" pests with the rules thread. which by the way can be seen even if you arent logged in. by the time they finish reading it, if they even last past the first few lines... they wont -want- to login and sign up.
while you mind not find the rules different or out of the oridinary. believe me when i say i have put key references & red flag statements (red flag to the undesirable dick munch that is) that target those who are big headed, or have desires to gain some sort of attention, reputation or popularity. it's a bit manipulative, but very effective "pest" control to keep the kind of people we want coming, and the kind we dont far away. aside from my obvious admittance to that now, those kinds of personalities usually dont realize that the "turn off" is intentional and planted specifically for their brain-types, and simply feel the urge to avoid us as if it was natural, when it is anything but..
thats because their egos inhibit them to reason properly, and by thinking so highly of themselves by nature, they cannot conceive being a victim of a repellent targeted at their kind of thought patterns. they see it as "wtf this place fuckin sucks this guy is a loser who does he think he is and besides his forum doesnt even have anything special." and for the -intelligent- dick heads, they see it as "WTF, i can't be worshiped here, and have people treat me like a god cause of what i can do, pfft, you dont deserve me to sign up you're not even half as good as me or a real modder". and that my friend, is victory, a Dick Face Firewall that protects us for Shit members.
as long they stay away, i could care less if we get 50000 members, you never know, i might keep this board around for other projects and games i may or may not work on in the future, who knows.
i hope you're not confused, by i've been typing for 17 minutes and im starving, i just dont want you freaking out over newcomers, and i want you understanding that i am able to handle any kind of situation that we could face confidently and effectively. trust me.
plus, look at how i spoil you with these boring rants you have to read, i just have to type them, run a spell check and push reply. you gotta do the work and read them hahah
i can thelp if i type 110 or more words per half-milli-nano-second, just comes natural
feel better now? we're all in good hands, promise. relax, and let's keep the show rollin!
Food! Now!
