Stuff like this can just as easily classify as current events and news, or relationship issues, or tech or medicine. Topics that I would like to point out we have also discussed in-depth in the threads, and nobody seemed to mind discussing them.

Ever tried posting about Armored Core on the FF general discussion forum and see how many actually care? I wonder how many people in the FF forum truly understand the significance of the ANANDA radiator, and how central it is to designing a combat-worthy AC. Or maybe how the LORIS arms are unbalanced? Maybe they understand what we mean by a "Broken" design... I seriously doubt that anyone there will even care one bit.

Actually, I have. I've tried introducing the game to them, and I'm happy to say a couple of them are getting pretty interested over the depth - FF's got a lot of robot and sci-fi fans apparently. They don't mind discussing video games indepth either - some of them are pretty privy to RPGs and strategy games. Provided that it's relegated to the proper thread, which I think is what the issue here is.

And if I may make an observation, RR's threads are divided up such that we have several forums dedicated just to Armored Core, but our members are just as often as likely to comment in MR, the News thread, and Project WTF - all of which barely talk about AC.

You really need to clearly distinguish the two, and keep in mind that people will largely not care about the things that you care about.

Likewise - if people don't care for what I say, they don't have to read it either. They are well within their rights to skip over them.

[quote]An occasional rant is fine, but really that's quite you've unloaded over the past few times. Keep it in check and don't make it sound like an alarm button is pressed, it does not fit RR's laid back atmosphere.[quote]

Understood then, I'll keep it in check. Sharp, witty sarcasm seems to be more in fashion anyway

In any case, the LGBT topic's already got its own thread, I'd rather not have this fracas get dragged on any further, and I certainly don't want to make any enemies out of my friends here, and I've got more than enough domestic problems to lose sleep over.

Peace?

Rant: Had my head shaved again. Holy shit - my scalp's gotten polished enough to literally reflect a laser beam
