Aristox - i hear what u are saying, but i dont think it is appropriate to discount your whole forum. If you want responses on a forum (if you truely do value the players thoughts), I would highly recommend not to say - oh, well most people didnt post, or the math is fuzzy, or evidence is not concrete. To me that is demorilizing.
It was not meant to be demoralizing. What I am trying to point out is when you say "I must be right, look at how many people agree with me on in this thread!", I don't take that as a solid argument.
I honestly love a lot of the serious ideas that come through on the forums, I just don't have a lot of time to implement them all.
I read every post on these forums (except the clan bitching, I skip some of those), I guess the problem is I only reply when I see momentum in the thread. I could reply more.
Heck, I loved Jorake's clan vault idea from the General Discussion forum, but it is really low priority. I also liked some of the ideas around the world merchant in a few other threads, but they are also low priority.
I value well reasoned arguments and opinions. I tend to ignore snark and hyperbole. I deleted a thread by corey last night, not because the topic was poor, but because it was delivered in corey's typical snarky style. I would like to see a thread about corey's topic, but when you start it off with a jerky attitude it will become useless quickly.
I guess my point is I value your opinions, but the context and format of those opinions matter as well.
