Should this go in Stuff and Nonsense? Maybe not. But I'm putting it here anyway.
darkSpyro is a forum. But what sets it apart from others? The people. Everybody here. As for more forum-related things, people just don't go "tl;dr" and leave it at that, or blatantly shoot the opinions and ideas of others down. There are no ****posters (well, there are, but they don't write things like Tay, and usually it's in this section). The best part of darkSpyro is, though, how free and open anybody can be!
Yes there are exceptions, but few. Really only one I can think of. No, we are not going there.
This is probably the ONLY place I have met gay, lesbian, transgender, and furry people. All of these people are 100% open about their choice, and have really opened my eyes about those kinds of people. Users can talk about things that they might not be able to talk about in public comfortably, and ask for advice on life-impacting things seriously. I haven't been directly impacted (yet), but I feel that darkSpyro is one of my best places for support (OK maybe I just don't have enough people I can talk to). I truly believe that, even if it's just a bit, darkSpyro has molded my character. Thanks.
Huh what
*Googles*
Edit: So um...explain to me please?
See look this site never stops teaching me
If you mean the last bit, it's not a choice since it's something people are born with. If it was a choice then nobody would choose to be like that since they get treated badly.
But no, gud forum. Great place, haven't been longer in any other one in my life until now, even more than an old more local one I used to be part of. Like any place there are some people I'd rather avoid at all costs,but there are so many nice users in comparison that I feel closer to several people here than many IRL that I deal with almost every day.
This place definately turned me into meme loving trash though. I haven't needed help thankfully but I hope it does more good than that.
--- SO I'LL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT
(What I need is never what I want)
I really do owe everything to this dumb website. All I wanted was cheat codes for The Eternal Night. I ended up getting more friends that I could ever imagine, my best friend who will support me through anything, and a stronger change in character.
In fact, just the other day I met CAV and ThroneOfMalefor. I've also met StriderSwag and Sesshomaru75 earlier this year as well, making it the best summer I've ever had (even compared with going to France). All of them are really dear friends to me, and there's still so many I want to meet. Every time I meet up with one of them, it instantly makes my day better. It's even the highlight of the day, despite the meeting being generally shortish. In fact when I met up with CAV and ThroneOfMalefor, I was having a bad time beforehand.
I was on a trip with my school, I hadn't slept on the long bus ride there, I wanted to kill almost everyone in my group, and we didn't do exciting things the first day. Their meeting with me really turned the entire trip around and I consider it the best part of it! CAV coming to say goodbye to me really put the icing on the cake too, and the entire way home they both wished me to return safely. That to me really shows how this website has brought close friends to me that I couldn't ever imagine having.
I go on many other forums for many other games. I've had nice people talk to me, and even made a couple of friends here and there. Yet I always find myself preferring this site. Maybe it's bias. But this website also has a charm to it. A sort of energy I'm drawn to. I can't describe it, but I'm glad it's there.

I know what it means~
Was just wondering about the "not a choice" part which BigGreen answered for me.
As long as you know bro.

WHAT?! THATS SO COOL!
What was it like meeting them the first time?

I hope that I too will one day make Greta friends on this site
We are on a forum about Skylanders and Spyro. Whose fanbase are usually anti-social people who don't get a chance to communicate with others. Here nobody can make fun of you for liking a kid's game and lets those who have trouble speak out finally have a voice.
While it does have it's moments, this community is probably one of the nicest I've seen. It feels like a family in a way. This place isn't the most active with new people, so the people who are around have been here for years and have grown to know each other. It doesn't really have the problems that much bigger forums such as Smashboards do with hundreds of people posting daily, it's only a small select group of people. I've found this website to be a very honest place because of it.
I absolutely agree with TheFlyingSeal and somePerson. It's not what you'd expect out of a forum based on a dead franchise about a purple dragon and it's toy line reboot, but this website has one of the best communities I know of. It's introduced me to a lot of great people and things I wouldn't have the chance to encounter otherwise, so I'm glad I came across it.

Agreed, I tried going on other forums but they're either super huge so it's hard to really get to know anyone, or too small and it dies. I feel like dS is about the right size.
I don't have much to add to what has already been said, but I do agree. The community in darkSpyro is very different from that of many of the other forums I've seen.
Ahh, I love this site too. Was only looking for a DOTD walk through but here I am four years later! I'd like to think I've made a lot of friends along the way!
I agree on pretty much all of this. DS is definetely an "easy-going" sort of place.
It definetely feels like you can more easily speak your mind here and not have a huge storm come your way because of it. (Well, depending on what you say.... You know what I mean.)
The people are pleasent as well.
I like it.

you know, i've always poked fun at this site in real life and called it "my stupid forum that i go on" to my real life friends, but i have met some great people on here. people that've helped me grow out of that stupid weeaboo kid phase, and made me a bit more cynical, but a lot more aware and humourous. this is a really great site, you know? all i wanted was to make a stupid dragon avatar, and here we are. thanks, guys, you've really changed my life, in all honesty.

Well, it's like any other meetup you would have with friends, except maybe a lot more hugging. But that's just me, because I like hugs. We walked around Chinatown and a little bit of Little Italy. It was really fun, despite it being about an hour? The only problem was that since I was on a school trip, I had to stay with a small group with a chaperone. The chaperone was okay with it, and so was my group, but I had to stay with my group and do what they wanted.
So it was kinda hard to just meander, talk, and actually hangout since I had to...stay with the group. It was really annoying, I hated it. And some of my friends tried to like??? Be apart of the conversations?????? I tried to give them the hint that they weren't apart of it but sadly they didn't get the hint, and I didn't want to cause drama. I still had fun though.

Sounds like it could have been awesome. Could have been >.<. NYC is awesome.
We should talk soon, your cool ^.^

What wonderful thoughts, and how beautifully expressed. (nobody gets this reference)
I've had a lot of these same thoughts about here, but never really expressed them. But honestly, this site has changed my life a lot, and I enjoy coming on here a lot. Sure, I may not be as active as I used to be. Sure, some of my best friends who used to come here as frequently as I did are gone or not very active either. But still, it's always nice to come on here and read some of the things all of you are posting. :)
