Title: The Compliment Board.
Post by: StaticRomantic on December 01, 2009, 08:12:08
This is the Compliment Board.
I wanted to help add some positivity to the forum, even if it's pretty well off already.
Post put-ups to those you want to show appreciation for, encourage, or thank, and what for.
(After all, this is a support forum.  :^^:)

I'd like to start by thanking Nifflas and all the mods for creating such a spectacular game and community. There's really nothing like it anywhere else, and I'm glad to have stumbled upon it and contributed (even if not very much) to it. This is really a great group of smart, unique, and artistic people.

I would like to congratulate everyone on making awesome avatars. I would say namely, but that would be selective.

No, you can't compliment the Swedish people, we are a horrible kind and our nation and culture stinks.

Do we even have a culture? If so, then its pretty mundane.

I think J is a pretty cool dude. He mods #niffchat and he doesn't afraid of anything.

I'd like to throw a compliment out there for Pumpkinbot, who made The Mysterious Grotto and inspired me to make my own environmental level.

Also to Sabata, BloxMaster, ACWL, and Razzorman for their help so far with WaDF 2. :D

good role model for the forummers.

This entire forum to me seems like the cream of the crop. Everyone has a sense of humor, there has never been any sort of flaming, or anything close to it. Almost every post contributes content, not a worthless bump. And most importantly, we are from all over the world, from Brazil to the U.S. to Nifflas's homeland of Sweden, so we can remain mostly neutral and unbiased, with new ways of thinking from everywhere!

I'd like to simply complement in general all the people who have worked to make this forum a great place. Moderating, good posts, general niceness included. I know that means I am complementing a lot of people, but you know who you are, and you deserve it. :)
Title: Re: The Compliment Board.
Post by: Mathexpert on December 02, 2009, 04:06:28
Id like to complement the mods and admins, because they take their own time to make sure the forum is a nice place. Also to nifflas because he basically made all these great games. :)
Title: Re: The Compliment Board.
Post by: Hmpf on December 02, 2009, 04:07:19
I'd like to compliment Nifflas for making the first two platformers I really enjoyed (Knytt and Knytt Stories).

And I'd like to compliment all the tileset makers. Thank you for making KS editing so much fun for us graphics-challenged people - and thanks for giving me such a good opportunity to act out my god complex ("Hmmmm, I think I shall put a mountain there... and a lake over there... and maybe a tree or two...")!
Title: Re: The Compliment Board.
Post by: Exp HP on December 02, 2009, 05:39:39
Though it surely has been said, Nifflas, you are a bucketload of awesome.

I'd also like to compliment some level designers. 
-rcc2soft. Colors was spectacular (good job pioneering in boss battles), and you've made a lot of achievements thus far in KSDS.
-Fredrik Andersson. Of all the levels I've played so far, your level Core is my favorite.
-Hmpf. I'm embarrassed to say this now that you just posted here, but in the ongoing development thread for Falling Rain, I see myself in your attention to detail and in your overall forum presence. It's inspiring.


And I certainly agree with people's statements about the community as a whole.  This is among the most well-behaved communities I have seen.

Oh yes, of course. Great thanks to Nifflas for making the first two games I really played (Knytt Stories and whatever one I downloaded next, probably WaDF)

I want to thank everyone that appreciates the hard work we do as staff.

Secondly, I want to compliment SiamJai (our newest mod) for doing such a great job. You really do better than I expected, and I already had high expectations. :) Good job.

Also a compliment to the other staff members for their work :)
Title: Re: The Compliment Board.
Post by: SiamJai on December 02, 2009, 10:59:20
Thank you very much, LPChip - your appreciation means a lot to me. C) Your discreet guidance helps me grow as a mod, and your thoughtful support keeps me motivated to do the best I can. :)

I would like to compliment fellow staff members; their professional yet considerate and caring attitude is an inspirational example I keep trying to live up to.

I'll compliment Nifflas of course, for making these great games, the focal point around which this entire community revolves, and for being a cool person in general.

I'd also like to compliment Blox, who makes great effort to ensure that I never get too much stuck inside my isolated cave. You're a great friend! :-)

Last but not least, my largest compliment goes to the community as a whole - to the collective helpfulness, kindness, sharing and fun that make the Nifforum an awesome place to stay at, year after year.
Title: Re: The Compliment Board.
Post by: BackwardsO on December 02, 2009, 22:23:15
Well, first to LPChip for doing well on every project he undertakes, despite being one of the most pestered people of the forum  X)

Nifflas, of course, for making WADF, which initiated my first real interest in non-commercial games, as well as knytt and knytt stories, both just happened to mix my favorite parts of gaming, platforming and exploration.

Oh, and Nifflas again for being the basis for what I consider to be one of the best forum on the internet  :nuts:

And of course, all the forumites for being such wonderful contributors to basically everything, being polite and open minded and supportive as well  ;)

Post by: Emeraldfire7 on December 03, 2009, 19:34:50
I'd like to thank nifflas for obviosly making such a wonderful collection of games (and many more hopefully :P2)

and thanks to all the level creators out there, its great to see new concepts/levels for KS

I would like to thank Paula and Mr. Monkey for making me some bugbears. I would also like to thank Sabata for making my totally awesome userbar :D
Title: Re: The Compliment Board.
Post by: TheoX on December 06, 2009, 17:00:38
Nice thread!  It makes me feel happy. :)

We have such a nice community - compliments to the forumers for being kind to each other, and to the admins/mods who keep the place SANE, and generally have a good sense of humor about them.

I would like to compliment Nifflas for taking so much time to make games we all enjoy.  Within a Deep Forest was my first platformer on the PC, and it's probably my favorite game of all time!  Thanks Nifflas, there's no one like you!  C)

Oh, and compliments to Mr. Monkey for having good taste in games.  It was about 4 years ago that you introduced me to WaDF, Cave Story, and LiCS, which are my top games! :O Good times on the Wonderland forums!

EDIT: I wonder what this board would be like with a reputation system.
Title: Re: The Compliment Board.
Post by: Exp HP on December 06, 2009, 23:12:26
I don't know who exactly this is would be a compliment to (the admins? Or the community, maybe?), but I haven't been here for long and yet I've managed to catch the website when the server was shutting down on two separate occasions.

That's how frequently I come back to check this forum amidst the other 8 or so websites I have open in tabs; I actually manage to catch the forum during maintenance. X)
Title: Re: The Compliment Board.
Post by: PONTO on December 06, 2009, 23:22:06
I'd like to thank everybody for not being angry at me for not being around more often when I was a mod and that was my duty.

Cheers to Nifflas for upholding some values which I admire (like pacifism, connection to nature...) and getting them across through his games.

LPChip, Miss Paula, J, googoogjoob, SiamJai and lilmanjs16 also deserve my compliments for doing a hell of a good job. (I hope I didn't forget anyone... )

You all rock! :)

i would have blown a fuse by now. kudos for patience, man.

Title: Re: The Compliment Board.
Post by: LPChip on December 11, 2009, 10:38:35
Thanks :)

Yeah, it went faster than I anticipated even. :)

First I performed a testcase which took me about 45 minutes (downloading the forumsoftware and backup and getting it to work on my server). This didn't affected any members

Then I've put the forum offline and made a backup of the database in about 5 minutes. I uploaded that backup to my server in another 5 minutes. I then changed the redirection, so it was only down for about 15 minutes.

Addition: I now know how to quickly move servers.

LPChip, I know that making KnyttLevels is hard (though I have no idea how much, since I have zero programming talent), but thank you for doing this for us.
Paula, thanks for being so helpful. You're the personification of justice in NSF, which is why you were given the title "The 'Helpful' mod".
Goog, you're like, the other half of Paula. You entertain us with your humor while you teach us. You're like, that cool teacher in high school that everybody wishes they had. :P
And you, Tin Man. You've always heart.

However i'd like to be, i'm not. It is because of a story named Teenhmifnoeafgil (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=672.0), mostly told by KG (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?action=profile;u=58). In the bad ending, a badly drawn Juni clone says "Imonl 'nap __p ta _. e" which translates as "I'm not an apple." I couldn't get it out of my head. So, i kept saying it more 'n' more, even at school. So it is the truth that i'm a Knytt human being. However people at school keep asking 'What are you then, a banana?*'

*This is a rhetorical question
