LOL Well, seeing as it's my fault the last one get de-railed, let me re-rail this one :)

I think I like HLP because I've been here long enough to know most of the regulars in a strictly non-biblical sense. Yes, we often do fight like cats and dogs, and yes, we are the biggest collection of viewpoints I know of, but that's one of the reasons I like it here so much :)

Theres a hell of a lot of talented people here, so in that respect HLP really has succeeded in Bringing Modders Together, even if the outcome is occasionally similar to Bringing Critical Masses Together ;)

What flipside said.

That, and also, HLP is pretty active at the same time WITHOUT being either ultra strict and disciplinary to the extent of every thread being a locked one, or being abandoned like a ghost town.

That, and Freespace of course :D

I like being at HLP because it seems to be one of those little towns, where everyone knows each other. There's a real common spirit in this community, beneath all the arguments and fights, and I'm proud to be part of it :)

but yeah, this community has grown since its infancy.:)

I don't know why I like it here, but for some strange reason I just keep coming back.

I don't even know where 'here' is, or what 'freespace' is....  but it must be something interesting, or I would leave...

I don't know! :( Oh, I just can't bear to leave...:sigh:
I haven't played Freespace actively in a long time, so why am I still here? Guess I love the people of this board, so great variety and many tastes ;7:yes:

HLP has contributed very few postive things to my life.

Thank you for your time. :D

It sucks away my life, has given me nothing other than some otherwise entirely useless skills, and I don't even know who I'm talking to most of the time. :D

Nah, this is the only forum I regularly post on or look at. It's nice and small, so I sort of know what kind of person most of you lot are, and (apart from the odd noob-tard) you're all pretty intelligent and mature. Nobody (well, almost nobody ;)) trolls or flames regularly, and there's a nice atmosphere. It's busy enough that there's always something happening, but quiet enough so you can catch most things and not miss anything major.

HLP = good. :)

I love it here.  First of all, there is a shivan bastard who ALWAYS eats my lunch.  That alone is worth staying.  But theres more!  Not only does this place consume way too  much of my time, but the time consumed by this place fills my head with uninteresting and irrelevant facts about politics and nothing.  Finally, it is damn near impossible to get a banning around here, so I get to see g0atse every time someone throws a temper tantrum for being disciplined.  God, I love this place.

HLP = Win :D.

That reminds me--one thing I really like about HLP is the amount of inside jokes, legends, rumors, etc, that permeat the place :)

I like it because I helped to make it.

I also like it because everyone else likes it - and it's nice to know that I was a part of that too.. plus it's spawned some of the most kick-ass mods on the planet.

Well, I suppose the strange thing for me is that, unlike most of the internet, your opinions here count to me.

I'm not talking about silly things like religion or politics they are all 'soaked up' opinions to my mind, I'm talking more about your opinions of what I produce and of me as a 'person' on these boards.

If I stop to think about it, I'm working bloody hard on a massive Mod that will most likely only be played by less than 75 people in it's lifetime. Yet still I keep working, trying to produce the best I can, because it's important to me that those 75 people enjoy it as much as possible.

We're a proud bunch here, sometimes far too proud, but it has certainly given us the strength of character to keep going through thick and thin with the game we all love :)

I like HLP because........... I have no where else to go and besides the fact that no other forum has a "janitor's closet around." :drevil:

Home sweet home heh....... :nervous:

HLP's cool cause it's got like an H. And an L. On good days there is also an appearance of a P.

Also cause everyone's usually very nice, and helpful. Also the size of the community is small enough to know most people around here, but big enough to have enough variety in all the great stuff that goes on.

Two words: Freespace. Community.

In fact, it reminds me greatly of DropShipCommand, the BattleTech community I visit, only without the deadness. And unfortunately without Erratic_Cheese, the most amusingly insane person ever to exist.

:nervous:

I come here because I can't find many intelligent people around me since all of my siblings left home. However I still have my mum and dad, but they are busy most of the time.

Hmm, been here quite a while too. Has it really been that long?

I've wasted so much damn time here, it's great. There's certainly a reason for that somewhere... I just don't know it at the moment.

For clarification: It was the HLP movie (original) that forever sealed her fate as the axe-wielding lady from Hell, right? :D
