Why TFP Is Cool
 

I think I've finally figured out why TFP is the coolest forum ever created:

Jack-asses, post-count whores, and immature people are either warned or banned without question. The mods on these forums (although a little over-zealous sometimes) do a great job at filtering out The Shit.

The reason I keep coming back here is because I can rest assured that if someone makes rude, hateful, disrespectful, or smartass comments, they will be taken care of :)

Thanks guys! TFP 4 Life

amen.................great site here......

exactly! :D

Here Here!

I was posting on another forum, but recently gave it up. People where posting so much garbage, and starting fights about everything.

I was about to say something rude, hateful, disrespectful, or smartass but I will refrain!!!!!


You nailed it on the head! TFP rules!

Well, seeing as how I'm the first Mod/Admin to read this...


Thank you. It means a lot to read something that says we are doin' a good job and not just another post about how Hal is like Hitler and we are his SS. Yes, we really do get comments saying we are a bunch of Nazis. And last I checked... I haven't killed anyone yet.

But thank you for the kind words.

"Support your local TFP mod.
They haven't killed anyone yet."

Yeah, there is a difference between making an opposing argument and being a jackass. Some people just don't know where that line is.

Damn, I thought it was because I'm here...:(

Yea, even though I haven't been here that long, I like this place a lot. There are tons of good posts, and like Redjake said, most of the people here aren't assholes. Nice job staff, keep up the good work!

hallejuah, preach on reverend Redjake

no comment

The moderation on the boards makes it, in my opinion. That and the cool people all involved.

:lol: Post count whores!! Thanks for making my day, its raining outside and this cheered me up a little.


OH yeah TFP rocks!!
The mods in here actually do their jobs, and not abuse their admin. powers. Unlike other forums I've seen.......

no problem :)

def this is the best forum ever! you guys rock...(admins)...and hal rocks! i really appreciate the lack of negative energy on this board....its really nice to have somewhere to go to that's like a haven or shelter where people treat you like family.
:D
Cheers: where everybody knows your name

yeah, this place is pretty cool. and new people are made to feel at 'home', or something like that. another forum i used to visit made newbs out to be the scourge of the earth, unless they got like 500000000000 posts per minute per second. and even though i wasn't new, i still couldn't stand it.
...nope. don't see nuthin' like that here. which is good to know:)

First, thanks very much for all the good words, it means a lot.

We all love new people, and we feel as though everyone should. How else can we make new friendships but to have new people? New people give us new perspectives, new ideas, and the introduction of another unique opinion is invaluable in any discussion.

We do a lot to try and make sure the new members are taken care of, so they can feel welcomed and comfortable, and learn and grow with the rest of us. Some come in and are assholes right off the bat. They don't last long.

The TFP is a community, we don't tolerate people who disrespect the community by acting inappropriately.

The only time I think you see something as being overzealous is when the person has a history. What you see as us snapping at someone, is actually a person with a long, well-known and documented past of behavior, and we get tired of people shitting on the TFP in such a way. We can only say, "please stop doing that" so many times before frustration sets in. We're all human, after all. :)

Thanks again, we're all glad you love the place, and I hope you continue to love it for a long time!

-analog.

I went out of town for a few days, and I can honestly say I had TFP withdrawal symptoms. I love this site. I love all of the Mods and Admins (Even though I've run into my fair share of warnings), they do their job well :) I visit a few other forums on occasion, but they don't have the structure that TF does. That is why this forum has earned my utmost respect.

Thangyoo. Thangyoo, verry mush.

/bad Elvis impression

well said. it is so nice when you know that someone is looking out and doing their jobs.

thanks mods

TFP is so cool that I have an offical TFP monkey on my back. If I don't get to check in every now and again I start to shake and slobber.

It's not pretty.

Well, that, and the fact that only the BEST folks are members and MODs.

yeah this is a good community for real. I agree the mods do a good job moderating and making sure things stay civil amongst a pretty big group that could possibly otherwise get out of hand.

TFP is tha shiznit!

I initially came here just because I heard about some nude pictures that I might want to see, then I found out I actually had to post something with content. By the time I got to be a member and got past my trial period I found I was posting relatively quality stuff and that the subject matter on the board was much more open than other places I visit. It has become an Internet "home" for me.

Come for the porn. Stay for the coffee and danishes.

What the fuck is a danish?

And I love this place. It doesnt even feel like a forum.
There's no one single niche, or reoccuring theme. We've got everything here.

This place r0xx0rz. It really does.

:lol:

Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it, and I'm sure all the mods / admins do too.
/me feels all warm and fuzzy and loved inside :icare:

Y'know... a person from denmark... with a gooey, fruity center.

Yeah, huge thanks to all mods and admins!!! You all do a spectacular job.

i forget why i joined, but i know that effective moderation is one of the main reasons why i have stayed as long as i have.

most of all, TFP is cool (IMHO) because of the loyal following that it garners from so many. it adds a new dimension to read a post from someone that you've seen on another board.

i love duking it out w/some of you on the Politics and Philosophy boards all the while we're agreeing and sharing on the Gaming and Music forums.

anyway, thanks to all who bring us TFP. I hope I've contributed as much as I've been given.

I was digging for old threads and found this pleasant debate that didn't just turn into a flaming stinking pile of shit.

Hitler Had Some Good Points

this place is awesome.

Because even in the midst of heated politics, you can have threads like this:

Congress vs. Supreme Court

A specific quote from said thread:



I love TFP for the people on here... genuinely ask for advice, and people will give it to ya - and not just what they think you want to hear. Sometimes tough love is neccesary :)

primarly female!


really? don't know what a danish is? I eat them for breakfast!

Why TFP Is Cool: well it's obviously because I'm here. :cool:

*fires up anti-banning shield*

Same story here. Came around a few years back for the adult boards, and completely ignored the rest. Started out on the Tilted Canada board awhile back, and was utterly knackered that the members were not utter and complete knobs.

From lurker to member. And it is the mods who keep it from decaying into the utter cesspool of waste that has become 99% of the other boards on the net.

And to think, I've not been to the adult boards in ages. Wait, that's because my wife moved her computer next to mine....

I do agree, this is a wonderful place to exist.

Cheers to Halx and the mod crew :thumbsup:

I think this place fosters the ability for posters and mods/admin alike to be themselves and say how it it they really feel on subjects. It is this openness of both personality and mind that allow actual relationships to be formed in spite of differing ideas and backgrounds.

We are the cool kids of the internet... we are what the rest want to be... we both rock and roll, and have no intention of stopping anytime soon.

You know, I started off with a post like "Yeah, TFP is great", but I tried to get original and witty... And then it just sounded so friggin' weird and made no sense in this thread. So taking out all the different points in my train of thought in how I got to this, I decided to just post the end result.

"If only Arkham asylumn had Dr. Phil in it."

I'm STILL laughing about this one. :) :lol:

Migrating from the Guitar.com boards the TFP was a huge change.

...Come to think of it, I really can't recall any time someone has responded to a post with "STFU N00B!" or "Who teh hell is this nub?". :thumbsup:

To quote Chevy Chase (Ty Webb) from Caddyshack: "A flute without holes, is not a flute. A donut without a hole, is a Danish.

TFP rocks. All others kneel before General Zod.

Ok big group hug now. Nancy and Janey first.

Having just read one of the most adult conversations about one of the most inflammatory discussions that I've ever encountered I now have to chip it my two bits. Thank you moderators and TFP's alike for fostering such a diversified, in-depth, and most of all mature community! Every day is something new and IMHO something better from everybody. A heartfelt thank you and I'm on my way.

uber great people :) and uber great (and nifty too) mods :) thanks you guys you make this a nice place to relax in :)

**oh and yakk your hilarious!..i'm tempted to put that on my sig..can i?..lol or at least one of the mods should..lol but if they dont..lol can I?

I don't post much, but I've been here since 2003, and still can't find a forum site as good as this one...major goodness

No Where Else....Literally, nowhere. Will you find a better group of members than on these forums.

You guys can pat the Mods on the back all you want....we actually enjoy it. But, It is the ability of yourselves to create this place on a daily basis.....that really makes TFP cool.

Pat your freakin' selves on the back....cause We do.

Thanks. =)

Go right ahead.

I like the sense of community. Nearly everybody I've "met" here is very open-minded and honest. Fabulous change from the other sites I was frequenting. The moderators are super diligent too.

/applause

Although still a rookie here, I just cannot go long without visiting the forum. With a wide variety of people, you still manage to have a conversation about controversial topics in the most mature manner. I have learned so much in my short time here, seen many different points of view, and had some good laughs as well. You have created an environment that makes me want to keep coming back for more, and maybe eventually breaking out of my shell and posting more often. I truly love coming here! Thank you for the warm welcome and making me feel at home.

I've become slightly addicted to TFP. I've been here for just over a month I think, but this is my favorite place online.

I think of it this way: The forum is like the ideal friend. You always have something interesting to say to me, but you listen if I want to talk too. You have the best advice, and a great sense of humor. Even if we disagree, you're respectful. And on top of all of this, you let me see you naked. :love:

If only more countries were ran like TFP...

why do I like it here? aside from all of the above stated reasons?

As a mod, most of the time I can sit back and let the good members keep things headed in the right direction. Sometimes a gentle nudge is all that's required; it's less and less common to have to bring the hammer down on people unless they do something stupid like spamming or flaming.

This board hosts some of the most mature conversations I've seen on the net outside of academia, for that I applaud all of you.

I think TFP is cool because of the many quality posts and wide variety of subject matter. Also, the way new people are welcomed into the community is just the best.

I totally agree, I also like how avatars and titles come with time, so you know whose made it through the filter.
