Call me crazy, but to me there's more solidarity, maturity, and intelligence in this thread's 2 pages than 2 months worth of threads at Scum. It's at least exemplary of a thread that people have fun in, don't post to simply hear themselves, and it builds a strong community through people having fun and joking with each other.
I don't see any arguments or fights (till now possibly), no post-padding because people think that's what makes a strong community, and in general it's made everyone who participated in it chuckle at least once (at least the vast majority who legitimately participated anyway).
Is that quality? Well, it's better than what's doing at Wuher's Cantina, that's for damn sure.
