I find the standard replies far more annoying than the question itself ever was

OMGDZ!! FS#3! etc, etc..

Exactly. I am getting a little tired of the hostility that always comes up in these threads, and it's usually instigated by one of the veteran posters. This particular one was quite reasonable and not exactly the standard "let's make our own FS3" call to action. If you're seriously getting annoyed by people talking about a hypothetical computer game, you need to get a life.

Veteran posters? Like who?

[colecampbell666]

Read the whole thread.

This is what happens every single time there is an FS3 thread. First, people get angry at him for mentioning FS3, then we realize that he didn't know better and didn't mean any harm, third we realize that there was no harm, and lastly,  we become appalled at the way we responded at first.

but nobody got angry....

[Flipside]

I'm still, and probably always will be, 50/50 about a Freespace 3. Part of me would love to know what happens next, the other part knows that no matter what it is, I'll feel vaguely disappointed, especially since it means either the story finishes or we are talking about Freespace 4 etc...

Actually it's not usually a veteran so much as someone who has been around a year or two at most. Those of us with 4-5 years here tend to react like nuke did.

[CP5670]

Well, I used the term "veteran" loosely to include all of those, but you see my point. Although in this particular case, the thread was generally fine until UT's post.

Anyway, I think people get the message here. Just be cool with this topic.

[Kie99]

I've been here over 3 years and never seen any of this massive hostility towards people who make FS3 topics.  Just a lot of people saying not to mention it in case people get angry.  And the ludicrous obsession with making not mentioning it some kind of rule.

[Mars]

This was like a mass coming-out-of-closet topic.

[Titan]

am i a veteran? 

[colecampbell666]

I don't think that you can be a veteran at twelve.

[Jeff Vader]

Yeah. The higher deities here probably have a definition, but I'd say a veteran is any active member, who has registered in 2004 or earlier, and exceeds at least the age of 16.

And Titan, you can get closer to veteran status, if you learn to use the url tags.

am i a veteran? 

Hell no. You're not a veteran 'till you've been here for at least 5 years.

And you're twelve. So

[Polpolion]

You can usually distinguish between newbs, normal members, and vets quite easily. You don't really need a definition.

It's an arbitrary title, anyway.

[Cobra]

You makin' fun of my title, boi?

[Polpolion]

No. Sorry if it came out that way .

[Ulala]

it would appear the OP may have been scared off...

[Unknown Target]

Wow, hi Ulala, long time no see.
