I thought this might be interesting. Give me 1 thing you like about explosm.net, and 1 thing you don't. I'll go ahead first.
Do:
1. It's user friendly for the people who follow rules; not for people who don't, in which hilarity ensues.
Don't:
1. Sometimes it can be slow, possibly due to the amount of active users.
This isn't a thread for "i liek it cuz this user posts lololol", or complaining about other stuff. That belongs in the Comment Dump.

The comics (obviously), and I actually quite like spame. It always makes me chuckle.

I started it as a joke. Quote my post for the truth.
I've really started disliking our newest forum. Hey, let's get rid of semi-intelligent discussion for a forum about pseudo-relationship problems.

Quadros
04-08-2008, 5:39 PM
Don't be naive Jon she doesn't have a reason it's just cool not to.
Yeah, that's probably it. In a way, its sometimes like a bandwagon thing to "pick" on me, or not "like" me. Hell Quaddy, you get on my nerves sometimes, but I don't actually dislike you.
Maybe she said it because of the reaction (above) it illicits.
This thread isn't for bitching about posters that you have an unfounded hatred for. Knock it off.

Do: The forums, although they seem to be getting worse and worse by the day because of the noobs that come in. Also all of the people on here whose posts I genuinely enjoy reading, such as Pelican Man, Quadros, Fabz, Rob, shmuh, chrisso, and assman.
Don't: Comics are getting progressively worse and less creative.
Noob people that are annoying as hell.
Circle jerking people who have been here for 3 months and think that they own the place. And people who post boost. Annoys the hell out of me.

Do: I actually enjoy the strict rules. And the comics, although I don't find them as hilarious as I used to, but I guess it's normal.
Don't: Shitty fanart comics. New people who can't follow rules. Being new is not an excuse, I'm somewhat new too but I don't go around making retarded posts. Seeing poo everywhere in spame is kind of annoying too, but oh well. :ahe:
Do The G&S section
Don't not being allowed to use some easy AOLisms (IE: lol)
You already did yours. Quit hogging.
Like: The strictness of the rules, especially about AOLisms and speaking like a complete dipshit. It helps keep organization and restore order to the world.
Dislike: Fags who come into the fan art thread, make a shitty comic, and blame it on the fact that all they have is paint. Paint is a perfectly good tool, just like every other program, just a tad more basic.

do: the occational good fan art comics
Don't: the other ones
USER WAS PUT IN TIMEOUT FOR THIS POST. (http://forums.explosm.net/eventlog.php)
Reason: At least pretend to try.
Do: Comics, old C&H movies, reading spame(I dont actually post because you would have to be very updated about stuff that happens in there), most users, most forums.
Don't: New C&H movies (not funny), people who can't write correctly(specially the use of "i like..." "i this and this". USE YOUR SHIFT) and don't get a TO, noobs who try to make jokes in the worst possible situation.
Hats of!
05-11-2008, 7:34 AM
Do: Showcase, Music Hall. Good comics.
Don't: This site seems to contain only Newbs or Elitist fucks.
Matterialize
05-12-2008, 10:46 AM
Do: I like how strict the forums are. It keeps this place mature and prevents it from becoming yet another cesspool of children spewing out post after post of unreadable, illiterate garbage. LOL IRONY
Don't: If anything, I guess I don't like the un-thorough rules page. I'll happily ban someone for posting like a fucktard, but it's annoying when the reason is something that isn't specifically listed in the rules (i.e. "shit posts", things that we as mods assume are common knowledge) because they have a semi-valid point when complaining about it.
Do: Do Hash. Do Hash Meh.
Don't: I don't like how people think they are hilarious. If you're so funny, make your own damn comic and see how well it does. I'm of the opinion that there aren't a lot of genuinely funny people on this site that post and that a lot of them should maybe shut the fuck up. I also hate the ranking system. I think We should get rid of that stuff all together (expect for the Elite User and Mod titles) I also don't like Dave's accent or Matt's Sideburns, but that is more personal.
Spastic
05-12-2008, 12:42 PM
Do: The community, I like most everybody on Explosm, and the no tolerance rule for idiots is what attracted me here in the first place.
Don't: The elitist attitude a lot of people get, there is no reason for it.

Do: every single freaking one of Rob's comics. They're the best (others are good too, but only sometimes).
Don't: the un-ability to search through/filter the comics
If I could, I would gladly go through all 1400 (and change) comics, and attach tags to each, so people like me could find them easier.
