Among being a place of very abstract discussion, it's also a breeding grounds for a mass amount of perverted idiots.
Teenagers or not; joking or not; there's no need too span your strange lusts over the entity of the forums. Save it for somewhere else.
Granted, I do have to apply "practice what you preach" to whatever I have may done in the recent past, but I still find it to be a topic that is nothing but annoying.
and in similarity to Sir Dooble, I too have moments where I just leave the forum for either a few days or a few months, only to post progress or data that is relevant to the game itself (Gallery, Music, Add-ons, etc.). I'd rather provide something good and useful to the community than blather it out in Drama or Off-Topic about who has shinier buttons on their coat.
