I was thinking as I browsed the forums I'm a member of and thought 'did my decision about registering at btp as my first forum affect how I'd percieve things or limit my access to other areas?'.
What I mean is, say I'd registered at a Quake or Counter-Strike forum as a first forum experience; would that changed how the online community percieve you as.
The worms community is very close but welcoming due to it's small long lasting niche. I think this community has taught me alot. I seriously doubt that a cs forum would've done the same. They seem cold and too expansive to have a decent relationship between members or an actual sense of community.
I mean all my online movements and choices have been influenced by worms in one or another. I discovered weebl and bob through a flag being uploaded to btp.
I got into animation due to a vast array of resources to animate worms with.
This is probably too thoughtful for some but I'd just like to thank btp for having a forum. Without it, much of what I know now, graphics, animation, coding, internet history and customs, I'd have not known about or gotten into.
A Toast To BTP!

I totally agree with you, this forum is not only a forum, it is a real community, and I have learnt a lot browsing in it, not only about worms, but also about online etiquette and behaviour, and what playing a game really is and means.
Like you, I doubt I would learn as much on forums of other games. The bad thing with me is that I didn't post earlier, since I am not a recent member. I first registered to put my maps online when I made some, but I didn't know at the time what was really a community. Of course I don't know, yet, all the "rules" and tips to be a good member, I hope I didn't behave too stupidly, in posts or comments, because I want to to be part of this community, though my english is not at the top, which sometimes makes me misunderstand things and reply... weirdly.
That's why I just bought W:A yesterday, which I really like too, and the patches are really wonderful for me, playing years in 1024*768, hehe. So now I'll be on W:A & WWP.
Last point : BTP is gigantic, full of nice features, like word association, proper excuses, fictoleague, games, pixville, which I really like too.
Long live the BTP community !

"To BTP, For some reason which will come to me by the end of this post"
I understand what your saying....Sorta.
Has BTP as the first forum I joined changed the way I go through the internet?(Or something like that) I discovered BTP through a person I played on WN2 when I was a wee newb. Having now stayed here for quite a while, I've sunken into the community. Had I of joined my second forum (Nuklear power) first, Would I of been more FF orientated here like I am Worms orientated there?
WTF am I on about? All that would be differant if I was at NP 1st is I would be less Sig orientated (text sigs only).
To BTP, Brigger of sigs

Indeed, drinks and cigars for all. Zogger did a excelent job writing the forum himself too. A toast to Zog!
Hey Pope, if you wish to expand your intellect with forums, check out http://www.sciforums.com/ . The community there is excelent, and there is a forum (sub forum) for any discussion you can think of. I got hooked on that place a while back, I still go there often.

Well, I can't say that BTP really influenced me as much since I was first on the T17 forums, but congratulations to all anyways .

I'd have to agree. BTP wasn't my first forum, but one of the first I came to, and it's been great. Although it does cause random insane outbursts.
Thank you and goodnightmorning
Why thank you. Allan Lake lives.

BTP has taught me alot. It's taught me how to behave and how to be a good forum member. At first I was a n00b but I realised that that isn't the way to go.
I wouldn't say it was the forums that taught me, I'd say it was the members in the forums.
Thanks

hah, well I remember what pope was like ..
I would find exactly what it was he posted onto every single comments page, but I can't really be bothered... . Something about his address and the "SPLIT THE PIXEL FUND"

this was one of the 1st forums i joined. and certainly is the one i spend most of time plastering about on.
I think its the fact i know most members now.
BTP is a real close community. Compared some other forums i frequent. It had been a long time since i played worms before i bought WA and i was still coming here.
what can i say. It great.

Most forums have about 50-75 main members where this has about 15-20, Very close community compaired to others.
