The Frontier forum has always been a welcoming place even during the "dark days" before the kickstarter.
I agree with others thoughts that it's partly due to the bulk of forum posters are in the 40+ age bracket. This does not however take anything away from our younger members who are just as excited as us old'uns about the game, (Although they probably don't need the quick lie down we do when the blood pressure rises;

) and have made fantastic contributions to the forum.
The forum has grown experientially over the last 12 months, and it's become a vibrant, fun and exciting place to visit. Because of this we hope that new forum members will browse the various sections and are encouraged to join and contribute to the general friendly and welcoming feeling created by you 'orrible lot.
This "good community" is what will help the game be the massive success I believe it will become. People will see the community and think "Thats a forum where I wont be shouted down or ridiculed for asking questions. (Although you could all use the search function a bit more you know.

)
This hopefully will translate into the game as they will feel that the forum's spirit will continue ingame.
So with any forum, it's only as good as the people who contribute, so well done you the lot of you.

(Search function, use it.

)
Right on Commanders.
There is one exception however....
One fly in the ointment...
One pimple on the backside of life....
The more I think about it the more suspicious I get about that Susan Boils, I mean she doesn't even have a account but hijacks a poor deluded onsie wearing simpleton's account to screech her insane warbling singing and flaunt her highly suspect wig. I feel a mad moderating banhammer session in the offing.
P.s did I mention the search function?
