Perhaps it is the size.  I don't know. But I have never felt the same way at ENWorld. Sure, certain posters "hold more authority" but I never felt like my opinion was any less valid. Unless of course, we are talking on a subject that a certain poster is fluent in.  Then that is only natural.Of course, someone else might have a completely different experience than mine. That is where the idea of perception comes in.  Sometimes I think we just find a place that feels comfortable and find a way to work into the fabric of the community.  Which might be more of what I am stabbing at.  My post count at Paizo is nearly 1,000 and I still feel like I am trying to find my legs there.  On the other hand, my post count here is 260 and I feel like I have my bearings.  I spent a long time as a lurker in both places, but I feel like I clicked easier with some of the posters here.Once again, this isn't meant to state that there is anything wrong with the Paizo boards. I will keep posting there, giving my ideas, talking about the things that interest me. I have encountered some great people over there and the fact the designers post regularly is a huge boon. I really like the place. No one has been rude to me, I am simply saying I am having trouble finding my place in the chaos. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Just giving a small perspective on why I sometimes like to read these boards over the Paizo ones.  There is, in fact, a thread talking about this phenomenon on the Paizo boards, started by a new poster. And I pretty much posted what you did Sammael, that nearly every board is like this.  But then we all started joking, having fun, and a number of posters seemed more resolved to check out what some of the "newbies" were doing. So I think it was pretty productive.</blockquote>
