Howdy, and welcome to the forums. I'd say we're a pretty relaxed bunch here, although the recent influx of new users may have some of the older hands a bit less welcoming than usual. As the de facto moderator of the boards, here, I'd be the first to acknowledge that I'm a fan of people buying games on GOG. On the other hand, it's not unusual to hear me recommending X-Com or XCOM (neither of which we have here on GOG) to people; most of the old-timers here can probably attest to the fact that our staff, in general, loves games.

We want all of our users to feel free to talk about whatever interests them--within reason. I'm a pretty staunch free-speech proponent (although I'd note that there are no constitutional rights to free speech on a private space such as this message board) and there is pretty much nothing so dangerous that I think it can't be talked about. That said, there *are* a number of things that I don't believe should be talked about here: anything against the TOS, for example, is included. Talking about gaming, game sales, new releases, and classics are all certainly fair game, and you should feel free to participate in the discussions in any constructive way you feel fit. So feel free to talk about the great deals on other sites. What we provide as a service is unique, and I believe that mentioning that there's a new bundle or a great sale on Steam doesn't threaten us at all; we're not competitors so much as we're an alternative.

I hope you hang out a while and get to know the place; you'll find that we really do have one of the best communities on the 'Net, with very little trolling, spamming, or personal attacks. Of course the topic of conversation may drift, but that's really how organic conversations tend to go anyway. :)
