This forum does have its dry spells, but even at its driest it's still livelier than most fan community forums :)

Yeah, that might be it actually. :P Each person contributes in his/her own special way.  And the thing I like most about this place is that there's plenty of threads that anyone can enjoy.  Some are TSL-related, some are serious, some are technical, some are fun, some are random, etc.  I've been to places where everything must be one way, and they ultimately just don't feel inviting.

Aaron pops in and out at random. Nothing odd.

From what I saw (I do not bother reading threads I find uninteresting, at this point), most discussion posts (which fuel the the +1 post threads) were either game-related (can be taken as due to the beta), or they were primarily between Fatali, Cat, Jason, and myself me.

This being until the last 2-4 hours (when Deloria began contributing).

I wasn't! :P  Pretty much anyone is allowed to post here.  The only ones that aren't are the few that got their posting privileges taken away for blatantly continuing to break the rules after many warnings.

Feeling a little left out. Didn't I do any?  :-[

Considering what LN was referring to, no. It was mainly the four of us replying to the game threads and debating slightly.

I don't see the issue with using myself, although I think "I" would be a little better than me.

It's not a question of style, it's a question of grammar. XD

"between" is a preposition and therefore demands the dative (or the objective, considering that they've practically merged) case in the personal pronoun(s) following it. The dative pronoun in the first person singular is "me". :P

"Myself" is reflexive. If you used "I" (as a subject, not butchery) in the same clause (here the "I" is in the subordinate clause and the "myself" you would have suggested would have been in the main clause) earlier in the sentence, you can use myself though I'd say it's even worse stylistically. :P

Besides which, would you say "From what I saw (I do not bother reading threads I find uninteresting, at this point), most discussion posts (which fuel the the +1 post threads) were either game-related (can be taken as due to the beta), or they were primarily between ourselves"
or
"From what I saw (I do not bother reading threads I find uninteresting, at this point), most discussion posts (which fuel the the +1 post threads) were either game-related (can be taken as due to the beta), or they were primarily between us"?


"I" has absolutely no reason to be in that sentence as it is only to be used as a subject. :P

I welcome corrections from anyone, should this be incorrect. :)

Caaaaaaaareful. I might just go from relaxed with my grammar to a downright horror in revenge. :P

Translation: Ya shouldn't have ought gone and done that. :D
I'm only this ridiculous with I/me/myself mistakes and the subjunctive mood. :P

The point is that he didn't say it like that, he said it like this...

If he had have used between ourselves, no one would have known who the heck he was referring to... or did he mention our names somewhere else in that post? It's too early for me!
