Well, I think you find trolls (Bugbears!) no matter what forum you go to... Unless you have a very active Moderator/Admin group of people... But what I meant, in terms of the NWN Community being so great back then - is that there were A LOT of passionate people about the game - so many people who had their custom worlds running, people making custom content (like the CEPs and such). That was an amazing time to be a fan of the game and see such a thriving community of people passionate about the game.
Yes, there are a lot fewer PWs, but every little bit of custom content that has been done in the custom content challenge over the last couple of years is better than what you can find in the CEP. And back then there were people passionate about NWN who made custom content or modules for a year or two and then moved on to other games or were torn away by RL (whatever that is).
The people you'll find here these days are even more passionate about the game. Either they've been here for over ten years or they came back to stay for many more years. Like you, right?
What you create for NWN these days will get little to no feedback at all, so you have to do it for the fun, not for a boost of ego or hundreds of votes. I don't say that this was the case for all the community members back then, but for a lot. Certainly a lot more than these days.
And the community is more mature. Which I think is a plus, even if I like to listen to my inner child from time to time.
