Half-Life 2.net to me...
Is a place where whimsical things can happen.
Bunnies plot to takeover the world with pancakes on their heads...
Professional relationship advice...
Up-to-date news on current events...
You get to meet interesting and exotic people, then kill them...
You get to discuss the undiscussable...
One of the best forum's I've been to in recent years.

It's simple. These are the best and most well-mannered forums I've ever seen. The moderators are very loose, but will administer the smackdown when it's necessary without remorse. The rules have a bit of a margin, but are laid down very well. Halflife2.net is one of the very few sites in the world that actually give you a feeling of acceptance, appreciation, and Shens.

because i've got far too atrocious a postcount to stop now, and i heart a lot of the members immensely.
and after two years (i joined new years eve 2003 so it's been over two years now) it becomes automatic, i could be on here ten minutes and not even realize it

Why did I come here?
- I was promoting the mod I was working on. I also dropped in on HalflifeSource doing the same thing.
Why did I stay?
- Because it was everything HalflifeSource wasn't. HLS was full of whiney teen and pre-teen bitches (including the moderating staff). They promoted flaming by having a 'House of Flames' forum designed specifically for ripping the shit outta other members, and this sort of behaviour spilled over into practically every thread I read. They had no sig-limits, no avatar limits and virtually no code of conduct. They also had almost zero support for anyone looking to learn a modding skill. That's not to say HL2.net is not strictly populated by older members. There are teens, pre-teens and members aged 20+ here. So it doesn't really matter how old you are here, what shines through is a more mature behaviour and a respectful atmosphere. And the latter is what I value most in a community.
Where do I hang out mostly?
- I come here for the well-written and chosen news announcements, the support for third-party modifications for the Source engine and the level of discussion that you can expect from the high calibre demographic that HL2.net has chosen to appeal to.
What would I change?
- Very little about the forums I visit. If there were something that desperately needed changing, I'd mention it.

Yeah, HL2.net is teh rox! Props to the staff and the community who make it so.
