How do you classify Zelaron?

[Sum Yung Guy]

Well I was thinking about this because of something Penguin said in the ad/mod forum...

The way I see Zelaron is from a previous experience I had. When I was 16 years old I got into alot of trouble and was sent to one of those bootcamps for troubled youth for 6 months... the first day all the drill seargents yelled at us a ton and seperated us into 4 platoons, each platoon had its own barracks and we lived together with the same platoon for those 6 months...after getting yelled at everyday for a few months the platoons started taking pride in themselves and became rivals with the other platoons. That is how I see Zelaron, and some of the other forums.. in that bootcamp we were like family and its the same with us on Zel.

I dunno I was just thinking about that and am curious about how some of the other members think of our comnunity?

An un-specialized forum based community.

well it says "Extreme Gaming Forum" but I think we are just a a gathering of people, almost like a team.

[Penguin]

Zelaron: Forum about generally everything, but specilizing in gaming..... i get that right?

[Jamesadin]

Close enough

[BlueCube]

Zelaron: The most non-sucky game forum/chat forum that exists.

[!King_Amazon!]

Zelaron: A forum type forum.

[JohnnyTAE]

Game/ Chat forum hybrid with interesting staff :D

I would mainly say that its an off-topic forum; with alot of gaming mixed it. If you see; off-topic has 40k+ posts; as the other gaming categorys dont even have near as much... ;)

[Randuin]

it's at these that i think no classification is needed... or if you really need it... it's
Zelaron: A new breed of Forums :)

that's true with most any forum. And i hope this never turns into a "hacking forum". there's already way too much of it around here.

Well... This forum was ment to be a MAINLY-GAMING forum; but all the members like off-topic more; thus thats were almost all the posts are located...

more posts in off topic than on is healthy for a forum because it shows:

members are coming and staying
members are bonding
newcomers will see the forum as a community

[Jamesadin]

yeah, its all good at this forum.

Zelaron: the all good forum

[Chruser]

Quality before quantity. We are not here to get loads of members, we are here to attract useful/active ones.

A lot of forums won't even allow guests to view threads because they want them to sign up first. At Zelaron, everyone can read as much as they want, and if a guest likes the community, he will sign up after having his free "trial".

[Jamesadin]
