1. Many of the questions have already been asked - how many more threads to do we need on Counter clipping, what is a wargame, etc, etc. The best answers are already out - anyone asking is going into a hive that should respond the old fashioned way - USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION!
Search function sucks ass at BGG. Plus, it's too big a site. People are wandering in and are just constantly asking the same ****.
My biggest gripe are actually all the 'favorite' threads. I've grown to really like the lists Nap20 put together. At first, I thought
they were pure gall - but he polls the community and more or less grabs the consensus. In most eras, there are few enough
games in a class that he gets anything anyone likes (and then some).
2. The desire to be funny or ironic is probably way overboard at times - I am guilty. Truth is, that is who I am - I am a quick witted smartass, pure and simple. I will keep you in stitches or offend you - depends on the result rolled on the CRT (Comedy Routine Table).
3. entirely too serious people getting uptight and preachy.
Personally, I think some of the damage created is by me - some of the silly threads (thwewhat is a wargame thread from last week) just inspire me to wake up one morning and go all Case Blue on the threads (morning of July 4th) which seemed (though it might just be my ego telling me this) to precipitate the ASL thread that now has Calendale and Dorosh in the same holding pattern.
All this is why I'm on boards at all. I want some witty, little cutting remarks sprinkled in. I want to be able to engage with a little bit of pushing.
And I absolutely love putting parody threads up - but I tried not to at BGG, because I would end up filling the damned board with them.
Figure I've pissed more than my share of people off already, since the very beginning.
