I think it's nice considering there isn't much players on the english community.

The English Community... I could write an article on this.  :rolleyes:  But you'll be glad to hear I won't.

 

My honest thoughts on this community are likely to be disagreed with, but they are my opinions. I've seen the community progress from the matter of a Shadow Strikers xat chat, to a massive global community. I must admit, people may agree with what fool4krist says, and I do to an extent, but I feel that a community can't thrive without some mature people who act immaturely. If everyone was mature, there would be not so much fun in the community.

 

Currently, the forum is decidedly average. Many of the posters who used to post relevantly and spend time posting on topics to help people  have gradually left the scene, and we are left with people who often aren't even interested in giving a decent answer to any sort of discussion topic. The Forum, in particular, has grown dull, in recent times, but it remains to have a lot of potential. Reading my article about the English Community in the latest issue of the newspaper may give you a flavour of what I feel the forum has become.

 

The perfect example of a forum who gets the balance between sense and stupidity is the Casual Collective. If you read the threads on the forum, most of them are just random pointless posts from mature people who troll for enjoyment, but not to hurt people.

 

However, don't get me wrong - I love the community on Tanki, and I wouldn't give it up for anything. It keeps me in the game. I appreciate the generally interesting and friendly atmosphere around the forum, and the chats are often interesting (if beers online :P)

 

My opinion in summary: The Forum is very fun, but doesnt fulfill its full potential. If people got the balance between being too mature, and taking a troll/joke, then it would be far better. I have to admit that the Community has much to improve on, but in all honesty, I wouldn't be here without the fun social life that I have on Tanki.

My two cents:

 

The community is nice; because of it I've made many acquaintances/friends. Most of the people are mature. However, the trolls are pretty mediocre; infact, they're bad at trolling. Trolls will never be as good as they were back in the day (I'm not just talking about only this forum, I mean in general) Some people here have no common sense what-so-ever. Of course, there are people like that in every forum BUT it's a real problem here. And there's those very few people I don't like on this forum; that sometimes makes this place a nightmare. Some people think they know too much as well; it eventually gets boring discussing with them. Since I wasn't here til' 2013, I can't say "oh the forum was better in the past" like some veterans may decide to say. It keeps me coming back here everyday and it gave me a nice Tanki social life so it's definitely a nice forum as is even if there is stuff that could be improved.
