Thanks for getting back to me so fast. If somebody has to prove something, then they usually don't have it. Nobody wants to be the bad guy, but people can't act however they want. There may not be written rules, but the ettiquette on Steemit is a little better than most sites c:

Yeah, I think it's because we're such a tight-knit community - especially so after last year's SteemFest. We all made a LOT of friends there and those who couldn't get to it followed and enjoyed the Fest almost as much as those of us lucky enough to be there did.
That made a sturdy platform for friendships and that's grown and spread as a community feeling, which of course generates more community feeling because one 'generation' of Steemians fosters the next.
Steemfest sounds like a life changing event to attend. I made a lot of good friends through online gaming, but if were to meet them all at once, the shock and awe to see them would become a memory I would never forget. I would imagine Steemfest to be larger than even that scale.
Every community needs a stable foundation, and knowing that Steemit is barely a year and a half old says a lot for the people involved and the standards that everyone holds themselves to.
Practices passed down and remixed with each new generation. The fact that Steemit is still "Beta" constantly stuns me at how polished and well thought out many parts of the site are. I can only imagine what will happen in years to come. Thank you for sharing some of your experience, this reply alone gave me more appreciation for the community.
Stay classy,

Sorry for the delay in responding.
I used to play games online too - Q2 mainly and that led to me getting an online journalist position at BarrysWorld Magazine - oh boy... that was a while ago!
I've never met a more fascinating, enthralling, amusing, intelligent and kind bunch of people as we met last year.
There will be more this year and I really can't wait!
Oh Quake 2? Never judge a book huh :D Don't worry, I know we can all get a little busy sometimes.
Meeting people that you can build strong and intelligent relationships are always welcomed, I hope that you have lots of fun when you go! I think I will make going to Steemfest a goal for myself next year.
Stay classy!
