It's always a fun surprise when things pick up here suddently. Even better if there's new people joining the fun

It is fun! There are a lot of cool people here. And everyone seems so nice!

That's the way it is around here. People don't get into arguments very often here and, if they do, things are diffused quickly.

The best comparison I can conjure is a small village. The villagers get along and, if they have a problem arise, they are afraid of losing the village so they are more willing to work things out.

That's been my take, anyway. It is rare to find a forum like this one.

To that end, I think the periods of inactivity also help to keep things from getting too crazy. It's kind of like people getting tired or impatient with each other if they interact every single day. Little things start to bother people and, because it goes quiet around here sometimes, that kind of thing never really gets a chance to build up.

You look at comment sections on YouTube, etc. and people fight. It's because the people fighting are probably tired of the same arguments time after time. As a side note, that's why it's important to take breaks from the 'net.

It's more to do with the fact that obvious trolls are banned or deleted outright.

Stuff seldom gets out of hand in order to necessitate any kind of moderation, usually. Anything that gets too controversial is usually locked and / or hidden. I try to keep that to a minimum, though.
