Ludeon Forums have to be the most social forum page I have ever visited. People having mature conversations instead of just a bunch of hate! Not once have I seen a negative post or reply within so everyone in the forums give yourself a pat on the back!
This is my first forum i have ever visited even, but hell am i glad i stumbled upon this one first ;)
Yes, it's very sad that this is so rare...
Yes, I'm very glad players have turned out nice. I've seen some horror stories. So happy they're not happening here.
I think it has something to do with the kind of game it is. It's kind of a cerebral game, and not driven by aggressive domination of others, so I think it attracts people who are a notch more thoughtful and considered than some other games.
I think a good part of it is the size as well. This is a small forum, people are nice. Troll don't have time to bother with it.
Not to mention, we're all here because we bought the game right? It's not like some public forum with people just jumping in. We all already have things in common - love of strategy and resource management for example, which sets us aside from the mainstream anyway.
It helps that this game is really solid and the developer is directly involved with the community. It's hard to feel like Tynan is ignoring us when he's right in the threads like one of us.
The KSP forums are pretty good too (Kerbal space program being a game that involves being a bit more intelligent than most other games demand I suppose it only makes sense).

love that game and i agree some people just need games like "push button "A" to kill". I am also glad that there is a nice forum here :) been playing Rimworld from A4 and started using this forum only now.

lol @ shinzy.
you forgot to add ponies!! :P
The Paradox forums were nice aswell, before CK2 became a mass hit.
Maybe it's because Rimworld players already get enough out of tormenting their colonists that they don't need to torment people on the forums.

If you really want to experience an entirely new level of pain you make a very competitive team-based shooter with DotA elements on Xbox and PC. Then you announce that the expansion is only released as F2P on PC. The resulting shitstorm dwarfs hurricanes, believe you me. :D
lol @Shinzy, love the disclaimer as that is what I fear too.
This community is indeed full of bright colors even if you had to trow-up. It would contain rainbows and is full of sparkly bits.
I'm surprised to be the first one to say it, but Tynan's got a double-flame passion for Social! It's why he's here as the friendly Warden all the time, talking with us, listening, reassuring... ;)
Its cuz we get all our rage/inner psycho out ingame, hence we are nice here.

Then as the new alpha arrives, he executes any of the 99 Diffuculty Tribals amongst us...
