The Mood Here

[Technopeasant]

I would just like to congratulate you good people at the Fedora forum for creating such a friendly and humourus atmosphere on this forum. It is shame there aren't more like this! :cool:

[sailor]

We get our share of malcontents too...but we try to stop squabbles before they start...but anyway thanks for noticing and welcome to the forum! :)

Hello:
Most things can be settled by some good old conversation over a few cocktails :)

The conversation over in blighty is more like..

Did you spill my pint?
Are you lookin' at my bird?

Booze intake is usually high on these occasions. :D


Have you ever seen a pub notice that reads:
Liquor in the front, poke her in the rear. :p

I thought I'd be nursing a hangover today, but after eating lunch I'm ready for a pint :)

Looks like I've still got plenty of beer left in the 3 kegs I put on tap yesterday :)

I would really like to add my appreciation of this forum also. On my other computer I 'test bed' other Linux OS's and, because I am never sure of what I am doing, I also watch their forums. The Fedora forum is the best I have ever seen, and, I think, the best I will probably ever see. Thank you all very, very much.

This is indeed probably the best forum around. A real honor to belong to it.

Thank you all for your unsolicited comments....(your checks will be mailed shortly) :D .

I'd like to add my appreciation to this forum, this is perhaps one of the only Linux forums where people do help you without making any snide remarks etc.

Also this is one of the best moderated forums, and the mood here is friendly.

Hello:
All the malcontents as Sailor noted end up in the same place ;)

Let me correct your silly pinheaded assertion that the mood is friendly here ... ;)

I have to agree with everyone above, Fedora Forum is ace, and without it, I doubt I'd be using Linux today.

In my early days, I bounced around a few forums, and Windows ones before Linux, never have I found anywhere as accepting and understanding as here.

The admins are ace too! In the 3 years I've been registered on the forums, I've seen but 1 post that was spam, and that was removed fast enough, posts that start spiralling down a dark path are usually closed by the time I read them.

High praise and thanks to the admins, and all the users out there helping people, as they helped me.

Next round on me... Once I get back from the bank... Can I borrow that banana?

[Wayne]

Funnily, I never even thought about spam before I was asked to become a CM. But now I can see clearly why I rarely, or ever saw it when I was a user. Sometimes it's like playing that 'Whack a Mole' game :)

If only my inbox was that much fun :eek:

The really fun part is when two or three different CMs hammer the same spammer at roughly the same time! :D We really mean business :p

I am surprised more Linux forums are not this understanding and accepting. Since Linux has been built on the same ethic standereds as the old hacker community I would think the rules would still apply.

As Steven Levy stated in Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution (great book) the hacker ethics are as follows:

* Access to computers--and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works--should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!
* All information should be free.
* Mistrust Authority--Promote Decentralization.
* Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.
* You can create art and beauty on a computer.
* Computers can change your life for the better.


There is only one that could cause problems and I think this forum conforms to 5 of the six.

FedoraFroum is a lot more friendly than LinuxQuestions, and a lot less fighting.

[Technopeasant]

This may be a generalization but most of the trouble makers I meet are Ubu users. Hmm... LOL! Though you do meet a few Slack-Heads who say that all the rest of us are unworthy. Never really meet a Fed I didn't like though.

[scottro]

I think much of that is also due to the mods--they do an excellent job of keeping such things down.

[Iron_Mike]

Thank you all for your unsolicited comments....(your checks will be mailed shortly) :D .

Along with Bob's stimulus package which involves sending Bob all your beer. :D

[dubb]

I would also like to add my appreciation to this forum. CMs are great and the common users are great too. We are all a mix all sorts of all kinds of people from different backgrounds that share a similar interests. Although nothing is perfect and thats where CMs do their best at maintaining the forum. Kudos to everybody. I blaze a phat one for ya'll. :)

Probably because it is the flavour of the month right now as it were. A**Hole's are drawn to what is "new" and "cool"

Just wanted to say thank you to everybody for there help has made me a true f9 fan.

[b_martinez]

I, too, would like to thank everyone here.
Your efforts to promote beer drinking are awesome!
Your efforts to solve problems with the Fedora OS are inspiring.
Last, but not least, your sense of community are really the one thing that keeps me coming back.
Thank You,All
