Our nonsensical rantings and ravings are entertaining. Theirs are quite often insulting and childish, but not childish like us, childish like the elementary school bully.
And as much as they fight it over there, there is a *first* in pretty much every post.
I don't think we have to worry about that too much. The Escapist has a different community culture from the LRR forums, and I'm pretty confident we won't change their community culture too much, and anyone (more) who comes here from there probably won't change our community culture that much, either. Our community dynamic is pretty well established and would probably resist any change, unless literally dozens of new people from the Escapist forums signed up all at once and began posting 10 times a day each.
When someone comes over here as an individual, they'll likely post a bit, see how things work over here, and then start to conform to that, while adding a bit of their own flavour. And I welcome that.
I'm currently reading about the Indian and European relations in British columbia over the nineteenth century. Ya, thats exactly what some of natives said. Well, not really.
But ya, they have no reason to flood into here. Just makes no sense.
The only thing I'd worry about, and although it wont happen, I've seen the effects, is if escapist mods became mods here.
