Dont be so shy guys set up an account and join the conversation. 59 people are veiwing these threads at this very moment(CivRev specifically) but only 10-12 people post regularly on average. More brains brings more diversity to the conversation....plus we dont bite.....unless we are playing you in civ
I've often wondered the same thing - I think it may be a problem with the site cache not updating properly though - 30 max seems to be the norm. Then there is people like me - My computer auto logs me in, but if I'm out and about travelling to a job or something, I often check in on my phone but don't log in - probably more people like that? (or is it just me that's sosad...ehh, i mean enthusiastic?)
i think its ppl that just come and go..
like they googled a glitch on civrev.. so google redirects them to a thread here.. and then once they get their info they leave..
nah that doesnt make sense when you consider anywhere from 15-45 non posters are veiwing at all times.....15-45 new people checking on glitches everyday?......I think these people are reading the strategies and conversation and thats it so I invite them to step out of their shells and join in.......Originally Posted by Hellogoodbye123
I knew some on the PS3 that were lurkers, but don't want to post because english isn't there first language and don't have the confidence in their typing skill to risk a post...
English isn't their first language. They should definitely post and get some pointers!
Translate that in french without making a mistake and without using help and I'll concede my mistake, even though I was just illustrating my idea!!!
I notice grammatical errors on a daily basis due to 2nd languages I dont care.....nobodies gonna hate on someone for trying.....
I'm really impressed by the level of language here on the forum for most people here compared to other game forum I've seen. The people from Paradox too...
There, their... it's the kind of thing I know but that I messed up when I write fast. I have to think about it to have it right because it's not an automatism compared to when I write in french. Better then it's been as I consume lots of english culture everyday.
I sometimes make the same types of grammar errors. Too and to i mess up on alot and am too lazy to edit post just to correct one word. I know i mess up on spelling alot too. Sometimes i can't remember if an e comes before some words ending with -ing. Like "using" for example. I know i've made mistake of adding an e in there on a few occasions.

i am the master of grammar errors !!
messing up, there, their, and the other they're? that i forgot how to spell, also i'm and im
misplacing commas!, FORGETTING COMMAS !! making sentences 10 times as long as a regular sentence,
mmmm.. what other errors did my university paper have ..lol\
awkward sentences!!
backward sentences!!
run on sentences!!
unclear sentences!!
sentences without a noun!!
i even learned what a noun was this year lol.. in my "pre writing class" for failing the writing placement test to my university !!
"Alot" is not a word. Most modern browsers include a spellchecker.
No hablo el frances. Anyway, I was just helping you to illustrate your idea. You make fewer mistakes than many native speakers around here.
Wow, sentences without nouns, as in more than one of them? That's pretty terrible. I've worked with people who never learned to write. It's quite a handicap when others can't tell what the hell they're talking about. There's a guy in my office who will forever left behind for it. He's not stupid. He just can't write.
I know. It's two words. A and lot. I just sometimes forget to put a space between them.
yes i know, its really bad. but im slowly learning plus microsoft word is always their to remind me i need a noun ! so thats pretty neat hahaha.
but apart from my bad writing, great news ! me and a friend started a mechatronics club at my university, we are working with arduinos!! and i got my computer science proffesor to be our club advisor!
we decided our first project will be to make a breathalyzer lol
even i discovered that like 1.5 years ago .. star .. tsk tsk hahaha
That's boring. You should make a bad breathalyzer. You know, test to see if you have bad breath before a date or something.
...lol well we arent about to create a super high tech robot either !
our resources are limited financially
i donated 30 dollars to our own club haha, and a few others pitched in 2-5 dollars in there
you know, i mentioned this club in the scholarship i applied to and i was denied before all the other 3 scholarships i applied to !
it could be that i said i wanted to work for facebook lol I even had the essay proofread by my history teacher, and it went from my bad grammar to a masterpiece, it sounded a lot better! he actually spend 2 hours on it making sure everything was perfect
so yea.. im bad at english/grammar/making sense
but i excel at math, science haha lol
and a bad breath thingy sounds more boring...
It is hard not to judge someones intelligence by how they speak and write but I understand some peoples brains just work differently... As for that other Mexican guy I'm not sure he has any real intelligence......lol well we arent about to create a super high tech robot either !

Grizzley Tigers, I felt very tempted to reply your thread after seeing your post. Ya, I am one of the lurkers who perfectly fit in your criteria. I always come here to read and then leave. You are right, I feel a little intimidated to leave a post here as English is not my first language. Anyway, I just made my first move. Thank you guys for your great contributions and knowleges shared in the forum. They are very useful. I am a ps3 player by the way.
well, i think there could be a limit when speaking.. theres a difference between speaking bad and speaking illogical like saying things that are completely wrong or against the norm :P in that case you can judge someones intelligence :P lol
but, yes i know what you mean :P
i remember when in 7th grade my teacher said .."you might be the smartest person in the world, but if no one understands your writing, no one will ever know!" ... so i was like...."good thing i have pretty handwritting" hahahaahah but thats not the case lol
lol... you write better than me hahahahaha.. i thought you were like american etc etc.. then you say its not your first language.. lolGrizzley Tigers, I felt very tempted to reply your thread after seeing your post.

I don't think Einstein could write or speak very well either, and he failed his university entrance exam as well
yea but i dont think he said illogical things either :P ... at least i dont think so..I don't think Einstein could write or speak very well either, and he failed his university entrance exam as well
I don't care what your writing is like, as long as it's not insulting. Welcome... and keep the posts coming.
Cool....welcome to the forum.....you seem well spokren to me....more than many who have english as their first language...Grizzley Tigers, I felt very tempted to reply your thread after seeing your post.

It is truly funny getting on the forums and reading posts to hear the same person on xbox live swearing every 3 minutes 80% of the forum members couldn't go a day without cussing, lol. I'm glad I can hold my tongue from saying such detestable things. Perhaps that'ss why too some people don't post because they can't follow rules and probably will be swearing in every post for nonsense reasons.
You won't like me when I'm angry

LOL. Very true. It's good thing i don't play with a mic cause i'm usually cussing up a storm when i'm playing if barb pop-ups slow me down or resynchs start messing me up. Or a ton of other things that happen which annoy me.
oh thats weird.... i dont get mad... almost never at least..
and if i do im not screaming..
im just like "mmmm pues" .. its spanish for "ughh ok thennn" but reallllllly sarcastically...
I've been lurking around this forum for months now. If the police were here I would be arrested for stalking...best forum around.
Whats with the low ball comment.....
Ah see theres two people.....I now consider this thread a success......welcome to the forums....
Haha that made me laugh.
Lmbo because it just takes me to a time when people say they love Jesus but everything they do contradicts it. Forums say no fussing or swearing on the forums.... Rarely see it because of a consequence but in general real life people feel there is no consequence for a dirty mouth. Such a contradiction of personality and cordiality when seeing people post on here and sound as if they intelligent and mannered but here the same guy on xbox live... They sick with words of disgust. Quite funny really as if more people joined the forums I would see more fakeness... Cause once I hear that person in person, lol.
haha......well contradict yourself then multi and add yourself to the fakeness....because we all heard you swear on mic before as well...
Besides bro if you dont want people to curse just ask them...Ive been making an effort not to curse in front of you lately but I guess that doesnt matter because you still have crap to talk....
I do agree about the cordialness and manners of the party you are always in...I have to leave it half the time because of all the derogitory comments people are making about eachother....
If I cuss on the Mic it is definitely because I been hanging around you guys too much with all the b's, f's and s's. I slip up but it is rare and I bet 1000 bucks that if you here me cuss in a party that I'm sending it to you paypal. That is how much I know that I can watch my tongue.
Well Im proud of you but that is a persoanl preference not a represenation of intelligence....I used to work at a cabinet shop with a bunch of HS dropouts so I picked up some bad habbits....like I said if you dont want people swearing in front of you......just ask us not too.....its pretty obvious I have been trying to stop swearing in front of you....packrat laughs everytime I do because he can tell the change in my speech patterns....
Well I'm not trying to impress Jesus and I'm a very angry person so I do cuss a lot. But since it bothers you I will try not to do it as muchI think having point muted solves half the problem
That is MAD hilarious!I think having point muted solves half the problem
