Hmm... just an observation I've made, but it seems this forum (PFF&P) is so incredibly community-driven. The main section flourishes because of members willing to take a large portion of their time to write, and also large portions of their time to review. This relies on the creativity of members, whereas, say, the games forums, are more dependent on the actions of an external agent - Nintendo/Game Freak. And yet, we still manage to do this while maintaining a high standard throughout the forum.
And even here, in the Writer's Lounge. We have solovino trudging through this massive thread to make an index. We have Valentine and Sparkling Dragon writing comprehensive reviewing guides. We have countless writing guides. Bay maintains an index of fanfiction, while bobandbill maintains a Beta Place. And then, of course, we have Astinus, controlling the nonsense. XD;
Other forums on PC which are so community-driven, like Other Writing and Webmasters Discussion, often lapse into inactivity due to a general lack of passion or interest. But it really amazes me that this forum can thrive, primarily based on the passion, creativity, dedication, and selflessness of so many members. :'D
I suppose this post is in recognition of everything that we have done, as a community, to make this forum what it is today. And it makes me proud to call myself a regular of the PFF&P. ^___^ I guess this is like the opposite of a rant. XD;
