We're a long way from turning into wow general. With the mods we've got that will never happen.

By the same token I wouldn't want this place to turn into some big love in, where people are scared to say anything even mildly controversial (and I suspect with Fursphere on board that'll never happen :) )

Unfortunately the threads that have controversy on them are the ones that everybody piles in on and where emotions are raised.

Wouldn't life be boring if everything went swimmingly?

The piling on is why I'm just reading those, and not commenting. It's worth keeping an eye on, but I don't have a horse in the race...

I think that lately it's been pretty mild around here. There was a time where flaming and arguing seemed to occur much more frequently, particularly when new members would ask about stuff that had been covered many time previously. I think that the past 'rowdiness' is one reason that we have several admins and mods now, I think we only had two or three for a time.

There will still be flames and arguments, but they either get shut down quick or they die out on their own. The atmosphere here is pretty good these days, IMO.

I see a lot less "Go ask in the right forum, dumbass" responses, although I do think that is in part to the mods just snagging posts and dropping them in the appropriate forum. I actually thinks that's a pretty awesome function on their part.

That said, all it takes is one bad apple to spoil the batch, or so the saying goes. I'm not going to point fingers at anyone concerning what happened yesterday, but the amount of venom and hostility greatly increaseed over the course of the whole thing, to the point that worse things started to pop up after the initial broohaha died down. Again, thunderous applause for the mods for handling things so well. Hats off to them for donating their time and energy to keeping these forums so nice.
