    Thanks OS...

    I know we have a good amount of fanboys and trolls here, but going to the developer forums is just a nightmare. Absolute nightmare. I feel "stupider" every time I read a post at EA or 2K's site. So many blind loyalist, no WONDER the games don't get better until the devs get involved over here. You can't get ANY trustworthy, useful feedback there.

    And don't get me started on IGN. Anyone that complains that OS's ban-hammer is too heavy can eat a bowl. Seriously. Thanks guys. I just had to get that out.

    Yeah, OS is great. I will be donating soon (when I get my 1st paycheck). I know what you mean about EA Forums. I think the main thing with them is the age group. I stopped going there about a year ago (right after I found OS) and at 28 I was probably older than > 95% of the posters there. Here, I'm probably closer to the middle of the pack, maybe 55-60th percentile. I also think the mods do a great job here in keeping things civil.

      Yep. With few exceptions, this is where the grown folks hang out.

          I come from GameFAQs. This place is mellow as hell compared to there. I am currently KOSed from GameFAQs though. But I behave myself over here.

            Agreed. Somehow this board has developed and maintained a general sense of civility through its time, particularly in comparison to rival sites. I'm thankful to have come across OperationSports when I did.

                It's always good to see threads like these pop up on occasion. The mods and admin (Millennium) do a thankless job and put up with a lot of stuff, to keep this place clean.

                Let's all remember, everyone in this community can make this place great, by reporting posts, because we can't see everything. We need everyone to chip in to continue to keep this place clean.

                Either way, a big hand to all involved in making OS what it is today. A big thank you to Millennium and the OS mod crew, because I never get to thank them enough. These posts are few and far between. Thanks.

                    Very true. OS is such a great place. I find it funny when people get banned and then go to other forums and complain how bad OS is. The Mods do a GREAT job.

                      I came from the 2k boards.... this place is Heaven compared to that.

                      Not bashing or anything but it was the most opinionated forum..ever.

                      (just my opinion )

                      lol.

                      Good job, Mods and Steve, of course, for creating this wonderful site.

                        This is the only forum I post regularly on because of how civil it is. Keep up the good work.
