I am new in dwarf fortress and on the forum - and today i posted a huge thread about dwarf fortress in one of the forumes of the servers i play in,i told them the basics and linked them to the wiki -
All i got is serval hating comments and WTF IS THIS SHIT.. i told them before posting crap on the thread give it a try..
When i told them that 4 people told how can it be more awesome then call of duty if they can compare the graphics to gameboy.
When i told them the endless of possiblities there they just went wtf... and no one enterd my thread anymore.
So i must ask the great question why no one understands that his game is good... why is everyone hating on it.

DF's a tough game and it's not for everyone. That's just how it is. Everyone's been in a similar situation at some point.

Meh i just think -

Obvious alpha state, fairly esoteric gameplay mechanics, lack of decent in-game documentation, UI could use a bit of work, fairly steep learning curve, ASCII aesthetics. Plenty of reasons that make DF a hard game to get into. There's no accounting for taste, and like many games of its kind, DF caters to limited audience. Whether one gives it critique in a respectful manner or more akin to your average internet hater, tells a fair bit about the quality of the said forum.

I don't know where you posted it, but it might be that it's just not the right environment for a game like DF. A place for everything. I wouldn't recommend serious Sci-Fi in a Twilight themed forum either. Be a jolly fellow and don't get too evangelical with DF (or anything else for that matter), and yeah, hater's gonna hate.

Because they probably noticed they wouldn't be getting spoon fed and actually had to use their imagination and insight to enjoy what the game has to offer.

DF, it's not for everyone. Only the diligent get rewarded with a fun, unique game.

[Powder Miner]

Well. You do kind of get spoon fed in DF. It's just that instead of spoon-feeding you instructions like most games, they take a spoon and jam it into your ribs and then leave.

COD kiddies, lol.

[Jopax]

It's more like having to tear your spoon from the spoon gods pet spoon monster and then eat said spoon god with it, or something :S

Just because people have different tastes in games than you they are less intelligent?  How condescending.

Wow OP you sure are a mean person. You're trying to be evangelical. Stop that. People don't want to hear about Dwarf Fortress sometimes. It just has to happen.

[Space-Man]

How should have i known that.. i never though i would get hateful comments..

[Fenrir]

You wrote with poor grammar and spelling, and you gave them only vague generalities like “its diffrent everytime” and “gather allmost all materials known to man”. You even make them ask a for a Wiki link. If you are going to consider someone a philistine for not sharing your tastes, at least describe the game to them in a sufficient detail, and make your posts legible.

[RabblerouserGT]

If you can play DF, you're an elitist.
Just saiyan.
