The last few weeks I noticed quite a big increase in banal off topic discussion, mixed with alot of hot-headed discussions and fanboy turf war. Unfortunaly this pushes worthwhile discussions to the background and in some cases even a shutdown of a topic which otherwise was constructive and informative. The moderators do what they can and do remind us of what are obliged to follow, but as members we still have to actually follow protocol and rule.
So as a normal member myself, I'd like to friendly ask everybody to contribute to the high level most of the conversations are at, doing so in a constructive, friendly and topic related manner. If you rather want to find a shrine for your god-driver, find it justified to verbally attack others because of a different opinion, or otherwise want to throll around, then this place is not for you.
I'd also like to express a thank you for the moderators, especially Thomba and Richard Leeds for their outstanding work; I would make a fanpage on facebook, but sadly that could be counted as fanboyism. So just a simple thank you!
