Worst forum types you've seen (by subject)
« on: November 09, 2010, 09:02:23 pm »

#1 being the worst:

1. electronics forums (takes the cake solely due to insane trolls - other than that people are ok and helpful)
2. MMO forums
3. action-rpg forums (yeah seperate from MMOs)
4. rts forums
5. -any forum with a name like *www.forumyouwerelookingfor.com*, where all replies are "thanks!" "that was so helpful thankyou!" "awesome!" "you rock!" etc.-

Popular FPS forums.  Probably just under MMOs.

Calling someone a Troglodyte isn't that insulting. Besides we aren't elitests, that would be elfy

It was the first thing I could think of along the lines of 'overly ornate words used to insult someone's intelligence.'

Wait, we had cards? Like a union?

Oh.

Oh of course we have cards. Mine's in my wallet. My, uh, other wallet. That I keep with only my union card and a photo ID proving I'm of legal drinking age. So I can go drinking with my union buddies and never have my credit card stolen.

Yeah. That wallet.

My WoW forum was pretty cool, and oddly enough I was a member of an informal coalition of like-minded conservative players... who all happened to play dwarves. I thought for some reason that playing dwarves and being conservative went hand in hand.

Holy shit was I wrong.

Generic public technical support forums.


Because they're mostly full of things like:

It's like a 50/50 mix of absolute pants-on-head retards, and evil fucks trying to take advantage of said retards. And generally zero useful information.
