Also, I'd like to ask everyone, what do you think of the NS community as a whole? To you, is it a raging cesspool of clashing opinions (like the YouTube comments section), or a calm lake where people
smater-than-the-average-bear get along no matter their views?

As a whole? It's hard to say... What I like about NS is the fact that it is a mosaic of communities. Even on the NS forums each section becomes its own community. Because of this it is difficult to really assess the community as a whole. Most of those on the forums, (with a couple notable exceptions like NSG and the WA sections,) are really helpful and welcoming. The individual regions are much more hit and miss. Generally speaking, the larger and older regions are much better than the small, new ones.
