I'm sure it took a while to build up this community, but this is an awesome site. I have been recommending it to anyone I run into that is either interested in programming or in making games.

Everyone seems very helpful and knowledgeable (I really like the helpful and knowledgeable part, haha).

I am, however, very simple minded, so I have to reconfigure everything I learn into my own baby language. I wish I had as much knowledge as even 5% of the people that come here regularly, then I would be able to teach programming to everyone in the easiest way to understand it.

All the knowledge is here, but I have yet to find a simplification of that knowledge for myself. Of course, there are so many posts to dig up though.

Just wanted type a quick thanks.

What exactly are you hoping to get out of posting that? I realize that you are thanking everyone for being good citizens of these forums, but what kind of discussion are you trying to start?

GameDev is the Great Provider. All those who walk its hallow halls shall know enlightenment. OOP will be to your right hand as Lisp is to your right. As you walk onto the valley of the shadow of code, the power wielded by your mind will know no equal. Creation will bend at your will. Bugs shall bend the knee and pay homage. They shall find no unit test too high or no buffer overflow too low. We shall wirelessly connect with our brothers and sisters. Our keyboards and mice navigate the deep wells of the 'net and our USBs be the tools that wrought salvation. We are not soldiers of fortune, but warriors of a great revolution! Pay us not with the currency of faithless paper, but as did Caesar with the coin beholden by unbreakable construct of mathematics. Pray in the Temple of Neutrality. Read from the Book of Digitalality. Nourish your mind with algorithmic nectar and compilation ambrosia.

In short, he likes GameDev and so do I.

Yes, gamedev is awesome

It's the lounge. We don't have to truly have a discussion, he was sharing his appreciation.

I thought the very same thing.

I think the original intent was to not allow any down votes, so you could speak you mind. But I wish there were only upvotes. Some of my favorite responses are in the lounge. Don't let people down-vote you, but up-votes should be allowed.
