I think that those who keep saying that people are offended by the drivel are missing the real problem.
Few are offended...but many (most?) newcomers will instantly lose all respect or interest for any site, or product, or game (or whatever the forums are for), when they read stuff like this. As I said before, most people who see that crap will just lol and move on.
I was frankly surprised that tentonhammer wrote about Project 1999. I think that sort of thing would be much more common, and much more positive, if we presented ourselves as a mature community for a mature product.
Yeah - this probably needs to be enforced to actually change. But again, I think its well worth it.
Bah, I'm rambling. Go read the SoD forums and consider what comes to mind when you think about SoD.
