The official forums and BG have a lot of differences and for that I'm thankful. This place is a decent source for information about upcoming updates within the game which I'm glad Camate and the other mods here feel free to spend their time sharing with us.

BG however is what I refer to as a real test server in the sense that the playerbase finds the bugs, glitches and things that arrive with every version update that the dev will usually miss. Bg has also been one of the #1 sources for information on new content where people converse and share ideas with players usually providing proof which seems to be Kprog's thing but even then it's viewed with an open mind.

I've been moderating one of the oldest gaming sites on the net being www.the-nextlevel.com/ and I've dealt with all sorts of stupid in the 12 years I've moderated the place so the things I see people say here and on BG don't surprise me but when I see people say that BG is a worthless site it makes me laugh at the petty jealously I see because those people saying this were either banned or laughed off BG ages ago for their inability to be an active member of that place.

These forums arn't so bad and I'm thankful that SE started something like this which truthfully should have been done years ago but in closing, if you're one of those people that hate BG so vehemently then you probably only really look for the bad in that place which sadly isn't anywhere as bad as here sometimes because BG at least controls the amount of "stupid" that tries to infect their forums.

This place by SE obviously has the mods cuffed from being able to do what they'd like to do I'm sure so I'm sure them banging their heads on their desks everytime someone posts something stupid in an attempt to make a "difference" usually leaves them from doing nothing other then locking threads or temp banning people because it's all they can do.

If some people who post here want some respect then by all means give some thoughts into your posts before you hit reply instead of NOU or where are your sources for this.

It would make everyone's time on these boards much more enjoyable.
