I most have missed those. I would have loved to read them, as I have just been given my very first D&D corebooks as a brithday present. Haven't found them in a search though.

You are sooooo right of course. Here there is just the occasional abbreviation were I have to ask to get it explained.
Apart from that everythings readable for non native speakers.

I totaly agree with that. Correct English makes it much more easier for non native speakers to read and participate.

But alas I'm far to slow typing English, so almost everytime I start to reply or voice my opinion I usually find my point of view already posted here.

Well I could start learning to type much more faster...:D :D

My standard "we're all very friendly here" welcome to this board used to include, "... and if you want to see us at our very worst, just use the Search function and type in the keyword 'marines'." :)

Seriously, it is best described as heated debate: no one resorted to name-calling or anything.

I have since found a few other message boards where people are as adult, polite, and civil as they are here, but this board will always hold a place in my heart as the first one I found.
Most other boards suffer from what Penny Arcade called the "Internet F***wad Syndrome" (referring to X-Box Live, I think, but it applies everywhere): Normal Person + Total Anonymity = Complete F***wad.
Put another way, freed of the possability of being shamed in their home town or punched in the face for their behavior, people tend to turn into jerks.

Who's the guy who's sig is "God, grant me the ability to punch someone in the face over a standard TCP/IP connection"? Amen, brother.

(Edit: I just want to note that I did not type naughty words above: I typed an F and then a few asterisks (these thingies: *). Part of behaving yourself is keeping the talk to PG levels if kiddies might be reading. A good board shouldn't need software to censor posts.)

If I recall correctly that sig was featured by our 'bouncing forum cat' BouncyCaitian :D I might be wrong, though :o
