    A lot of people think the forum is dead or whatever, but I always have fun here.

    And it’s generally a great resource thanks to the contributors (not always me, ha ha).

    Nice to be honored.

    Thank you. I have a feeling this is more for posting the ascended powers of everyone (and maybe working out some combos or something) and less for starting fights with everybody all the time (I'm trying to be better!) but it's really nice to be recognized.

    Happy to be acknowledged.

    Us honorable mentions are glue guys. That is, we are posters that ask questions, keep the discussions going and spurn on the meta posters to do their stuff. Sort of like a good side kick in the comics.

    Congrats to the winners, althought it feels to me like the spam awards. Every single winner got a 0.2 to 0.8 like per post ratio so we're clearly not aiming for consistent quality.

    Not speaking for my own case because I know I'm probably too explosive, but recognition for blend posts over some people constructive criticism / spreadsheets built for the community just feels bad.

    I'll also take that occasion to add no one uses this forum for info because your search function is so, so bad you can't even properly search for what you want. If I search "shards" it's gonna include people post saying "hard". If I try to copy paste [BOSS EVENT] to try and find the history of all bosses, it'll skip some at random, etc. It's unusable

    Thank you for complimenting me on my recent win at the spam awards.
    I'm sure I speak for all of us that we have only really had a few difficult people and you, my friend, now belong to that club so congrats to you as well.
    I won't take your words to heart as I stopped reading fairly quickly but I hope you will carry on with your positive and encouraging words.
    Stay gold pony boy x

    I don't know if there's an award for bringing down a vibe, but you just earned it.

    It is the point yes. This "celebration" is to me a parody of community involvement.
    Nothing wrong with facebook level type of daily chatter, it's not like most discord / reddit messages are more profound either, but putting it on a pediestal is just baffling to me, sorry if that offends you. I'll give you the like ratio is not a perfect system, but it's far from unsignificant too.

    Then again, I'm not saying anyone that got it didn't deserve it, I'm saying it's missing obvious names like Daiches or Droogie that do deserve it way more.

    I've never heard either of those names. Do they post on the forum?

    Edit: looks like Daiches is banned and hasn't posted anything here since 2018, and there's nobody by the name of Droogie registered. Why would they give a forum award to someone who doesn't post on the forum?
