Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board The one thing that sents Legion World apart from the DC Message Boards...

Since coming on mid-year, I noticed several things which make Legion World the better website compared to the DC Message boards...

For instance, the posters (on LW) don't spend time trying to tick each other off just because someone likes a particular Legionnaire and other people don't...

Secondly, the crazy scenarios like the Lune-a-ticks and the LMB Infinite Crisis (the latter, which I couldn't be a part of because of circumstances beyond my control). Who comes up with the ideas? They are so cool! The story outlines were/are pure genius...DC's loss is Legion World's gain.

And the artistic talents like Spellbinder, Vee and Joe-Boy (to name a few)....I like group efforts very much and someday I'd like to contribute a few of my own designs.

I feel good posting on Legion World. I give it a rating of ten stars!

Legion World rocks!

(Except for the posters who don't realize Jacques Foccart is the One, True Invisible Kid, that is! )

Oh piss-off!

The thing is, pretty much everyone here is a decent person. And those that get here and aren't pretty much becme decent. The few that we have had here that wouldn't, or turned on us, didn't really last. The people here are pretty great.

Watch it, or we'll set a female writer on you

Magnifique! Tu parles vraiment, mon ami!

Rick and I tend to disagree on politics... but I heartily concur with him here. And despite our political differences - or any reason you can think of where two posters may be at odds - I think we have cultivated a community of respect and appreciation for others. I credit Nightcrawler in particular for working overtime towrds this end; finding the balance between free expression and civility.

Well said.

The no-pants rule is a huge plus.

x2.

I couldn't agree more!

Although this has all been said before, it is nice to reaffirm it every once in a while, and to be reminded of just how good we have it here.

Thank you very much for including me but I really don't think I'm in the same league as the true artists on LW. There most definitely is an enourmous amount of talent here.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately but I decided to keep my ranting to myself. But since you brought it up...

I've been spending a lot more time on the internet lately, and it's really made me appreciate what a special place LW is. Everyone treats each other with civility and respect, which should be the norm, but alas, it doesn't seem to be elsewhere. Is it really so hard to disagree with someone without resorting to insults and name calling? Sigh. Anyway, this place gives me hope that the world is not going to hell in a handbasket after all.

So thanks to all for being so cool. And keeping your pants on.

Lets not all forget that I post on Legion World, which kinda is the main reason its so great.

(Oh, wait, should I wait until page three or four before I start getting arrogant...?)

Go with your strengths, Cobie Cakes

And those would be...?

A lady wouldn't say, Vee dear

Oh, and by the way, Vee, artistic expression comes in many varieties. Some people use drawing, some express themselves through coloring, others use programs to bring their visions to life. They all take imagination and a level of skill of accomplish them, so don't sell yourself short

You never have before.

We try to resolve problems rather than pile on to the flaming or wait for the moderator or list-owner to settle things (which often amounts to kicking someone off the board). I don't think a good atmosphere just happens; people have to participate and work at maintaining it, and that's what we do here.

There are also lots of extra goodies appearing all the time - graemlins, fireworks, etc. - thanks to the tireless little elves in the Legion World Workshop.

Nightcrawler's an elf? I would have sworn he was taller.

The posting hijinks of the really active LMBPers have been a little overwhelming for a few message boards in the past (remember Rob?) but Legion World is perfect for us. The DC staff (and most especially Barry) have been very generous and almost all the time the members have been rspectful and friendly to Legion creators that visit here. It's a VERY special website.

um...
Long Live the Legion!

I thought Spellbinder was just a tease but by the sounds Cobys been to the other side of the moat.

As I like to say "I'd be perfect except I am much too humble!"

Just wait til Congress approves the tax benefits to Legion Worlders that I slipped into an appropriations bill.

(Sorry, Canadians and Aussies, couldn't do much for you in that regard.)

BTW, what's this pants-on/pants-off rule people were talking about? Just exactly where should my pants be right now?

everybodies pants should be under my bed
