Okay so, many people know me now on the forums and I've been around for a few months. Started in November after receiving Skyrim on the 10th November 2011, so witnessed most of the story-lines before alot of people 
. I just realized that after being here so long, I've not left my opinion on the forum, community or general staff. In this post I'm going to explain some of my much loved features etc.

Design
Now I know that the forum design isn't actually *MAJOR SECRET ALERT AMG!* created by Renegader but I can still comment on it as the color's and actually quite a few aspects of it are by Renegader himself. I personally really love the design of the forum. It's simple yet advanced. Everything is easy to find, and easy to get to. That's great. The colours fit well with the theme of Skyrim and so does the content. Design isn't my strongpoint so I can't offer any advice on what could be improved so I'll leave that to the experts.
Staff (obviously excluding me)
First we'll start with the "Sexy" Renegader (he whips me unless I appoint him by that name). Renegader is such a fantastic owner to have as the forums. He genuinely cares for the community and likes to make changes fit to the public's needs, and not just his own desires. Renegader treats everyone like a king/queen and appreciates all values and opinions. One thing we should all respect is that he initially digged deep into his pocket to pay for the forums. Another good thing is that Renegader isn't serious or mean. He gives and takes many jokes, and makes this place way more fun than it otherwise would be. If you think about it, Renegader could have given up due to the low traffic on the first week or two and shut down the site before advancement. The forums could have possibly not been here today. For these reasons, on behalf of the community we thank you Renegader.
Next on to Rayven. I feel Rayven is such a smart individual. She commonly resolves situations maturely and with correct reasons. I've previously had members of the community message me saying they don't even know who Rayven was, and implied that she doesn't do much to help the community. This is a very false statement. I see Rayven on throughout the day, and sometimes look at her posts via her profile and they are always helping users and resolving issues. Rayven does alot more than some people think so please keep it in mind that she's a great moderator (and unfortunately better than me
) and we'd may be quite different without her!Community
Four words; "Friendly and troll free." This sums up the community accurately, I feel. Since I started off here back in November I've noticed as times have gone on that generally everyone is always here with a positive friendly attitude and are always helping each other. It's a rare thing to have a community that are so brought together and dedicated to assisting each other.
The fact that we're troll free is outstanding. This is truly the only forum I've never actually seen a troll on. I hope we can keep this record for some time, and Skyrim Forums will go on in history.
Special add-on
This is just a little bit about hexperiment. He's been on the forums longer than most people, and is currently on [as I'm writing this] 980 postcount. That's just 'twenty' posts off of 1000!. A great achievement Hex as I'm quite far off from that!
I speak to Hex quite frequently and he's also pretty funny. This is mainly just to congratulate Hex and good luck on 1000 posts!
Well, that generally sums up how I feel about the forums. I hope you found my review possibly interesting and I'm glad to stay here with you for as long as we live on.
Stone.
