Comrades, today at 9 PM I made a huge mistake. Knowing the danger, I bought X3: Terran Conflict. Remembering the hypnotic power of the series, I won't return to the real world for at least a week, maybe even a month.
Wow, the Elite series forum is hilarious. I went there for 5 minutes to download a patch for X3, and now I don't know how to leave. I thought our forum was the most chaotic, but no, they not only have serious topics that are active and very interesting, but they also encourage off-topic discussions in the designated sections. I've never seen anything like it, where random phrases from forum members are displayed on the main page with each update.
Some of them stuck with me:
"The rules on that forum are vague, but I didn't read them," Loki.
"You know, the difference between theory and practice is that practice is much bigger than theory," Loki.
"Flattery, like Vaseline, serves to painlessly introduce the recipient to something that will cause them pain tomorrow," (027).
Wow, a forum where the admin himself engages in off-topic discussions. These are true geeks, OMG, I'm hooked.
I should note that the serious sections are completely free of off-topic discussions, which shows what good moderators can do.
Here's a link if anyone likes space sims:
