What are the Pub's Positive Patterns?
Paynesgrey:
Wouldn't say they're useless or unfriendly, nor without friendship, but does "Vord Versus Zergs, who would win" offer much for somone who's cat just died?
Kali:
Maybe not. Your point, repeatedly, has been that without the shoulder-to-cry-on threads, we have no sense of community. I dispute that. I understand if you, personally, only feel connected to people with whom you've shared personal life details. But I know I, and I assume some others since I can't imagine I'm that unique, keep coming back here for shared interests like the Author boards, a bunch of threads in Media Favorites, and the laughs from LOLCats, among other threads. My sense of community from this board has nothing to do with the more personal threads. It does for some, plainly, but your post indicates it's the ONLY way to foster that sense of community.
This is incorrect.
Priscellie:
Folks on the McAnally's Facebook page have been raising some great points, and I want to make sure they're a part of this discussion. http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=13981&post=63531&uid=124949158964

I am pretty sure Paynesgrey was talking about there not being any community when he was rebutting a poster who believe that everything except the book stuff should be done away with, not that the only way to have a community on the forum was to have crying on a shoulder type stuff. (Paynesgrey can of course correct me if I am wrong ;D)
Blaze:
I would like to suggest that we do have a SCAdians section, especially because many of us SCA peeps get together at events and bring our Dresden Files fandom there. While we may not post regularly there is usually a flurry before big events.
Mostly, we should be more appreciative of Fred's grace in hosting these boards, and we should all remember to apply some of the rules of courtesy that the world at large has forgotten about.
When speaking regarding fellow posters always try to apply simple rules to what you have to say:
--- Quote ---Is it necessary? Is it kind?
--- End quote ---
It is in this way that we can thank Fred for giving us all a second chance.
