Not all layman are like that. Some are interested in the forums, like me.
Same to that, I love the forums! I have one friend I can talk to about Skyrim, nobody else gets, and just sees it as a nerdy game... so I think the forums are brilliant.
And unlike some other forums, coughtestdriveunlimited2cough, people actually answer posts that other members put up on here. Or demand you "change your avatar, brah".
