Thank you so much for the name drop. :oops:

You are actually one my favorites on this forum. I find you to be friendly and sound voice on the forum I respect. :D

As well, I agree with you. There has been much negativity lately. It can be quite discouraging sometimes and is partially why I am not on as much.

Then when I do come to see what's going on I see people complaining and trolling about trying to rally up some negativity against EA or the SP release. It seems like a cancer. And I don't get what the deal is. Is it some blowup sense of entitlement? Is it cool to find something to complain about? I don't bother to read those threads anymore, just sounds like broken records to me now.

I like the game, the release, and I think EA is making a great product that I am very happy with. Temporary glitches and such are not a deal breaker to me. When writing code and doing a new releases it's comes with the territory, bugs happen, but can get fixed. Not to mention app code is relatively new tech. I get why they did the tiles the way they did, it was a smart move, it slows down the game progression so it lasts a bit longer. In short, I understand why they do what they do and I am very happy with it .... And rainy clouds are just not invited to my sunshine parade. :)

As well, I agree the mods are great on this forum and Neo is especially attentive and helpful.

I may have come to forum originally to find out when WD was ending, but MWDalton has such a great sense of humor, his comments always made me laugh and JayKay and Neo made me feel welcome here. Then came RobertnBrand, who has been so sweet and encouraging to me. Meldesigner is simply inspiring. There are many others that are now my neighbors and am honored to have them as a neighbor. And then there is many that PMed me and/or posted in the thread -appreciation for holding the Best Springfield contests.... I just want to thank them. It really warmed my heart and made me happy to know i was doing something others were enjoying.

Thank you for posting this thread. I needed a some positivity to help recharge my battery a bit and a place to reiterate my appreciation to the many good cookies on this forum. :thumbup:

This is such a nice thread.. gives you a nice warm fuzzy feeling inside, not dissimilar to eating a tasy bowl of warm honey oats. Its a great change from all the forum negativity. Love it!

It's only a couple of people being negative all the time, you guys really shouldn't let them affect you or your enjoyment of each other and this forum.

Just ignore any threads they start or post in, that's what I do.

Can't let those with a cloud of doom and gloom constantly over their heads make it rain where you are, :D

(This is in response to all the posts about forum negativity, it really isn't all that bad. Not like other places I've seen or even places I've worked in)

Very True, it actually isnt too bad, but good advice to ignore any negativity I do come across. Thanks!

However, now all I can visualize is what it would be like if everyone had a cloud over their head which provided an indication of their mood, I wonder if it would make people more naturally happy if they knew sadness or anger would result in them being rained on..
