I dont play a lot of online games except fumbbl and up until now i found myself several times criticising the fumbbl community and its way to welcome noobs in the forum.
That was, until i joined another online community. Now i praise fumbbl and the fumbblers. Sometimes it gets a little trolly in our forum, but in general people here are so hrlpful to noobs! (Check the reaction to new fellow fumbbler Hammerhand´s blog here

I joined magic-league.com, a way of playing the good old card game without paying WOTC 10 bucks for some pixels... and after reading the bad page introduction, i asked in their irc for several days! if someone would like to give a noob a match (having everything set up and so). Just got NOOB! RTFM! and LOL! answers or complete silence, until someone decided to give me 10 minutes for a quick match....
Therefore, i appraise fumbbl and the fumbbl community!
Let´s keep on bowling, fellows!
