Is this a good community?

[Guest endgameaddiction]

I know this  ET. And I admired the guy for his personality,passion and devotion towards LL and making other people smile. And it's wonderful people are remembering him for who he was here. But it would be nice to keep it in one place. Sure, posting that many post counts means something, but some people here don't like to post a lot. Some people are just too busy to be active every day all day long, but they still love this place just as much as the next man.

The very nature that people are upset that he isn't here anymore is one of the best signs that this is a good community. This is what this thread is about. !!!!!

 

Germanicus has touched many people in those 7000 post.  The relationships he developed in those 7000 post along with the hundreds of PMs he gave and blog entries makes this departure important. These members which had meaningful interactions with him will grieve his absence from this community.

 

I haven't been apart of any site that has as much care for those fellow members as this site does. The post that people are doing is expected and understandable. Serious things have happened to members here and the response has always been strong and supportive except for a few without the manners to leave it alone. If and when it starts effecting this community.. it will fall to the moderators to curve post on this subject not fellow members.

Please, accept my apologies for being emotional about his death. All i wanted is to eliminate any possibility of him being poser. All right, you've right when saying that not every thread of LL community has to be "filled" with him and about him, but, on the other hand, can you blame those who do it just because they respected him and loved him. My attitude is that when it comes to the point of somebody's death we can all make certain exception. It will not last forever and will not be all the time.

[Halstrom]

I don't recall conversing with him myself, but regardless RIP.

When someone dies unless they were a torturous evil dictator, its usually a case of "if you haven't got anything nice to say, STFU"

It will all settle down in a few weeks anyway.

[GimmeBACON]

I feel for his family IF he did in fact die, but for all we know he just was done with the site, or went to jail, and somebody wishes to continue his name or whatever. Personally I blocked him because I was tired of going through the topics and finding like a thousand posts of who's ass he would lick (gets old REAL fast in a screenshot thread), but that doesn't mean the site didn't appreciate the input he gave.

 

Also can somebody post where HE said he was dying, because without hearing it from him, it becomes second-hand information, and isn't that reliable.

 

On topic, the site as a whole is fun, but there are a fair share of drama queens (this guy right here ) and anti-nexus whiners.

there is a post above that links to the pages that mention this, one being from his Son

Everyone can pay their respects to him there and give their support and condolences to his son.

If this is genuine it's both kinda creepy and sad.

Creepy because he foresaw his own death several hours in advance. Sad because he used the few hours until his death to bid farewell to a porn site.

"Is this a good community?"

Reading the pathetic shit a few dick wads are saying about Germanicus and the situation, I'm having my doubts.

A man facing his own mortality is creepy to you? Are you 14 or something?

Chill, people. Move the topic on...

Okay...

 

This is a bad, bad place.  It gave me an unsightly rash and now I can't enter this year's state fair, knobbly-knees contest.

 

 

 

 

[srayesmanll]

On the whole, I believe this is a good community.  I would like to extend a grateful "Thank You" to those members who are not only helpful, but who make this site an enjoyable read (germanicus being one of those, who will be missed).

 

I'd also like to "thank" a few of the recent asshats in this thread for providing excellent examples of how this is NOT a good community (sometimes it's good to have nice compare/contrast examples) and for making me add another page to my ignore list.

[Wonders of Eros]

Is this place at least more friendly than the ban hammer site over at the nexus? and a place to make friends? anime friends..

 

 

Witty--critique-shots have been fired at the mothership! 

 

The non-adult modding community wet their pants, running. 

 

 

Also . . . Anime fist-bump

I'm not quite understanding some people. How are a few bad people in this community making them seem this is not a good community after all? This proves that 1 or a few people does not defy LL to be a good or bad community. A community is established and as it grows, so does it's reputation, but a few good or bad people do not determine it's reputation. The amount of positive things done here like the help and support have given this place a large amount of good reputation.

 

So, I don't seem to understand how a small percentage of people make up for the whole communities reputation.

1. More likely to remember the negative than the positive

2. More likely to act upon the negative - you bitch to friends like no end when you buy something broken but you don't go and tell everybody about everything that worked as expected

3. The negative peeps (whoever you are ) are probably more vocal than the more silent good majority

I'm really sorry that subject about my father caused some issues on the forum. I do not have bad feelings toward ones they "don't like" him. Everybody has own reasons for like and dislike certain persons or events or subjects... I'm personally amazed and touched how many people expressed their consolidation and support to me for my father's death. Even those who didn't knew him at all. This is a sign of healthy and great community to me.

Lately, I've seen topics being outright deleted instead of locked. I find this rather strange and nexus-like. I can't even check if the thread violated a rule since the thread no longer exists for reference.

 

The first instance of this I saw was a few weeks ago when someone mad a thread asking for advice on making better looking characters. The second happened just now with someone posting a thread about Bethesda's Peter Hines bringing up paid modding for FO4.

 

Both are topics that can arouse a lot of debate, but why delete a thread instead of locking it?

It is right here,  nothing was hidden. That thread was warned just like the others with the same content. Threads will be locked and redirected back at the main thread. Nothing has changed, nothing evil is occurring.

 

The moderators will delete content that is very objectionable and harmful to members, or the site. That is the only time I have ever seen a post/thread/page get deleted. Each and every-time I have been aware of a deletion it has been for very good reasons.

Some people also delete or request their own threads deleted too. There's nothing Nexus like about that, I've deleted a few of my own on occasion, usually due to it being out of date information.

Thanks for the clarification on that thread.

 

For my first example, I think that one really was deleted though, as the posts in my notification area linked to dead pages. And even my own post did not show up when searching my profile.

Oh and sometimes a group of us decided we went a bit off topic and decide to delete those entries as a group.. A moderator / Ashal had nothing to do with it.. . ON occasion an friend will chime in on PM and let us know that our post might not have gone off or presented itself the way we wanted it to and we go back and delete or change it. Many reasons for entries, pages or even threads to be removed. I had a few removed that I started a while back because they were landmines for noobs causing problems and confusion. Some get archived and you have to really search for them.

 

nothing evil, and nothing remotely like Nexus. This is a good community.

[Kendo 2]

This isn't Nexus, with moderators like Myrmaad or Lynspuppy deleting threads or posts because they don't fit in with their narrowed fuck-tard social justice views.

It was stated weeks ago here that multiple FO4 threads would be locked/removed/consolidated.

Might have held some content or subject that was in need of work. Or the original OP requested it killed. If it does bother you .. ask a moderator. I wouldn't advise it very often as they can get annoyed but if you are concerned they might give a more focused reason (not detailed of course) to help release you. However I have been here for years and can attest that if a thread was deleted it was for a legitimate reason. Also in case you are curious.. many times us Contributors PM each other on these things that happen and always find out it was for some very good reason.

 

You don't have to worry that there is some evil plan in effect besides LL trying to pervert the world 

[Kendo 2]

By and large, Contributors have much at stake here.  We've invested time and energy into the community and we are often the first line of defense; reporting bots, spammers, illegal content, etc.  We all communicate in the Contributor's Section and the staff does as well. 

[Guest endgameaddiction]

Contributors are those who have invested work and time into the framework. There's plenty of people outside the circle who've invested time and energy just the same. It has to do with the framework because those are the core mods of LL.
