Sometimes people are jerks here too. SG is part of the internet, after all. But yeah, it's one of the better places. ;)

Welcome to sg. Congratulations on your first win. Just like life, there's good and bad. Hope you have fun here. :-)

I came for free stuff and stayed because of the community.
I feel like we've lost some good people over time but it's still a friendly place nevertheless.

Welcome to SG! I'm mostly a lurker now, but I've enjoyed my time around here quite a bit, so I hope you enjoy yours too =)

My time in this site has come. It's been a good 10 years, of which I visited this site daily. There are (and were) great people here, and I'm glad to have spent some time with those. However, I can't support a site that leaves a thread full of hate and disinformation in favor of terrorism open, even more so when it closes another thread that was the opposite. I don't care about your rule of "posting bad images". My rule is don't support terrorism, hate speech and fake news spreading through a mob (amongst other things), and I consider this one to be much more important. You can claim to be following rules all you want, it doesn't shift the balance. There's already too much of the most stupid (literally) kind of hate flowing free through the world right now. I stopped using twitter because I don't need twitter's bs, and I certainly don't need this site's and its slithering pathetic excuse of a moderation's, either. And if you want to reply with "why don't you just leave instead of looking for attention", or "how important do you think one person leaving is?", know you are very smart and feel free to waste your time.
The reason I'm posting this here is because I don't want to flood the discussions with yet another non-gaming thread, and this thread seems like one from long past that could use a bump.
For the good people that stay, good luck. So long, friends.

I am sorry you are leaving.
And this is why I feel like all those "political" posts (call them whatever you want) should be banned. Because I fear it's making people leave.

Oh years ago I said we should have no forums at all. At the very least JUST a place to post GA or puzzles, nothing else. Most people told me I was crazy ...

You were a welcome addition to the forums, sad to see you go. Take care!

γResting at a distance is important and necessary for you now.π΅ππ·π π»
This current era of our planet is one in which "perverts" are shoving "parts that are not supposed to be shown" in our faces.
γThe act of temporarily trying to avoid seeing such things will be affirmed.
γBut the TV, the radio, and your next-door neighbors may also be perverted.
γPlease keep in the corner of your mind that there will come a day when you will think of yourself as a "party" to it.
Today, we are in a period of confusion and full of people who enjoy "conspiracy theories" without "fact-checking".
γAnd as for those who do not follow the guidelines and terms and conditions, the Mods are dealing with them as they always have.
I think things will settle down in the next month or so as things are fact-checked, and until then, I think you are right to take a break. Have a good time and I hope to see you all soon.

it is strange to see a site where you are supposed to talk ONLY about video games talk about terrorism and politics in general, I understand your wanting to leave the site
we will see better times
take care βπ»

It's sad to see good people leave. It can only make steamgifts worse. On the other hand, I completely understand your decision. I'm not sure if I want to stay here myself.
FWIW, Mdk25 has created a new thread with most of the links removed. I hate paternalism, but it turns out that Steamgifts allows people as young as 16 to register, so maybe it wasn't such a good idea to post all those death and torture images from a legal standpoint, even though it was the right thing to do.
I think that it is more important to close the thread supporting terrorism, which is also illegal, at least in the EU. So I won't argue that you should reconsider your decision. If that thread stays up and continues to spread lies and propaganda, then Steamgifts has become a pathetic place indeed.

Sometimes people on the internet are jerks. This is kind of a rule of the internet.
But then, sometimes people on the internet are incredibly generous and kind. I love that this place exists. Just wanted to say it.
