The Pope Decisive Send PM Posts: 5183 Threads: 123 Mood: Refreshed Money: £201.52 (D) (+ Friend)	I was thinking as I browsed the forums I'm a member of and thought 'did my decision about registering at btp as my first forum affect how I'd percieve things or limit my access to other areas?'. What I mean is, say I'd registered at a Quake or Counter-Strike forum as a first forum experience; would that changed how the online community percieve you as. The worms community is very close but welcoming due to it's small long lasting niche. I think this community has taught me alot. I seriously doubt that a cs forum would've done the same. They seem cold and too expansive to have a decent relationship between members or an actual sense of community. I mean all my online movements and choices have been influenced by worms in one or another. I discovered weebl and bob through a flag being uploaded to btp. I got into animation due to a vast array of resources to animate worms with. This is probably too thoughtful for some but I'd just like to thank btp for having a forum. Without it, much of what I know now, graphics, animation, coding, internet history and customs, I'd have not known about or gotten into. A Toast To BTP!

Falkra Holidays tomorrow, back here and on WN. Send PM Posts: 1181 Threads: 20 WA Clan: below WWP Clan: lXl, Ac2N Mood: lazy ^^ Money: £909.16 (D) Inc. Tax: 10% User Tax: -14% Ttl.

Like you, I doubt I would learn as much on forums of other games. The bad thing with me is that I didn't post earlier, since I am not a recent member. I first registered to put my maps online when I made some, but I didn't know at the time what was really a community. Of course I don't know, yet, all the "rules" and tips to be a good member, I hope I didn't behave too stupidly, in posts or comments, because I want to to be part of this community, though my english is not at the top, which sometimes makes me misunderstand things and reply... weirdly. That's why I just bought W:A yesterday, which I really like too, and the patches are really wonderful for me, playing years in 1024768, hehe. So now I'll be on W:A & WWP. Last point : BTP is gigantic, full of nice features, like word association, proper excuses, fictoleague, games, pixville, which I really like too. Long live the BTP community !

Has BTP as the first forum I joined changed the way I go through the internet?(Or something like that) I discovered BTP through a person I played on WN2 when I was a wee newb. Having now stayed here for quite a while, I've sunken into the community. Had I of joined my second forum (Nuklear power) first, Would I of been more FF orientated here like I am Worms orientated there? WTF am I on about? All that would be differant if I was at NP 1st is I would be less Sig orientated (text sigs only).

Hey Pope, if you wish to expand your intellect with forums, check out http://www.sciforums.com/ . The community there is excelent, and there is a forum (sub forum) for any discussion you can think of. I got hooked on that place a while back, I still go there often.

At first I was a n00b but I realised that that isn't the way to go. I wouldn't say it was the forums that taught me, I'd say it was the members in the forums. Thanks BTP has taught me alot.
