Sorry for changing the topic, and I don't mean to get off on a rant here, but one improvement I would like to see on the forums is less general disdain for "newbies." It amazes me the extent that people will go to classify each other in order to feel superior to others.

I totally agree, how dare these people say certain things to feel more superior than others. We are all equal on the forums. No one is more superior or inadequate than anyone else. And it sickens me to the core that some may think that(!)

Note the fallacy here: "newbies and annoying topics"; i.e., If you are new, all your topics/posts will be annoying.

I have noticed this too Doug. Many members who were first annoying have basically settled in here. They make great contributions. One of those people is Haloman, who i believe was an exellent and great all round guy. He made topics and comments that basically oozed intelligence. Unlike some *Cough-Danny-Cough*

As for the inevitable: I am so pissed that Squeek's Exoddus is not going to be on the PS4 and When is SligStorm going to be on the PC? topics, that's why people come here: to find out information about OWI from people who pay attention to the details. I find it incredibly rude when members roll their eyes and act put out when people come along wanting to find out things about OWI games. If you want to feel superior, feel superior while being a font of courteously-delivered Oddworld information instead of disdainfully wondering how people could actually be occupying their lives with something else than Oddworld.

Yes...rolling of the eyes...*Tuts to self*

It is my personal experience that those who have a tendency to post annoying topics will do so from the beginning and continue to do so, regardless of their "experience" on the forums. Those who have valuable contributions to make will also do so from the outset. In real life, when you judge someone by their appearance or their age or their nationality or their sex, it's called bigotry. If members make annoying posts, go ahead and PM them or complain to a moderator. However, let's not judge people by when they happened to show up here.

Yes...outsets and "Experience" and everything.
(However, when you say judge someone...do you mean judging them before you know them or when you do know them. Cos i still judge people i know quite well in real life. Is that still Bigotry? If it is, damn those Jurers and Judges...*Tuts to self some more*)

Of course, that's just my opinion; I could be wrong.

Of course you are not wrong, i am backing you up fully here Doug *Thumbs up*
