Tbh the offtopic seems rather "eliitst"

Most of you guys seemingly know each other for years. I think there are loads of new faces on the forum but they never dare to step into the offtopic swamp.
Tbh the reason for me to join was that I wanted to provide feedback and bug reports during Bannernlord's closed beta. So that's what I focused on.
Concerning the problem that people do not engage in lengthy conversations:
I think that's partly the fault of this forum's structure.
If I see a good post that I agree with I can't really express that I DO agree:
Either I spam the forum with "good post" or "+1" which burries the good content or I do not react at all which also burries the content.
On top of that, I think one of the reasons why I hardly engage in Bannerlord-discussions anymore is simply because me and others have expressed their thoughts already in the closed beta anyway. ( oh and obviously there is that feeling of being ignored )
But I also think the forum has a couple of perks:
For me as a tournament host it functions well as an archive.
It's the best place to engage with the devs ( at least a couple of them)
And I think the modding forum is a great source for tips and guides.
