My god, I don't know how to read that webpage effectively. This might take a while...
Really?! Yikes. I personally love Reddit over other aggregates because of it's easy to read layout. It's also searchable, has easy to find sub-sections, and all that goodness. It's not like 4chan, which reminds me of a webforum made in the early 90's.
The pure white background on reddit hurts my eyes if I look at it for too long.
As far as people hating on bay 12 forums goes I've never seen it, but I've also become accustomed to everyone hating everyone else for no real reason.
Most of the 'nice' and 'mature' communities on the internet are very nice and mature when their own culture is followed. Imgur, with its bananas, giraffes, Tard, and +1 for Current_celebrityOfFocus, and Bay12, with its Magma, carp, elephants, !!elves!!, candy, and circus, are perfect examples. Both are very welcoming (probably imgur more than bay12), both are very friendly, and both are full of intelligent people (probably bay12 more than imgur).
Step outside the bound of internal memes at your own peril, and risk suffering at the hands of well-thought out and formatted arguments of how your mother has copulated with an over-excessive quantity of the male gender.
I'm glad that the response to any community criticizing us is to show them that we can sink to their level in a heartbeat.
You can't punch a dwarf in the nose if you're six feet tall and he's a stupid dwarf.
