[Renegade 13]

When I was a newcomer to the forums (back in September 2003 I think) I primarily came to find out things about SEIV that I hadn't known before, to learn new tactics, and to converse with other people who play this great game.

However, right away I was interested in the OT threads. I don't live in a large community. Actually, I live in the middle of nowhere, and this is really the only place I can have a mature discussion with other reasonable people on subjects that are non-SEIV related. Subjects such as politics and religion can get a little heated sometimes, but the other 99% of the time, they're completely reasonable.

Basically, it was SEIV that brought me here, but in large part, its been the community and the interest of the OT Posts that has kept me here, and likely will keep me here until everyone else has left!! Would I still come here if the OT Posts were gone?? Maybe, but only to ask the occaisional question I had. To be totally honest, checking this forum, and reading all the discussions (especially the OT ones) is one of the high points of an otherwise difficult day.

So to add my voice to all the others, please don't do away with, or restrict the OT threads. They really are an integral part of this community, and it wouldn't be the same without them.
