Best: The Escapist
Worst: Youtube
I'm going with this. I know of the (in)famous 4chan and had a peek to see what all the fuss was about. Lets just say I have never GTFO of somewhere faster...But seeing as I have first hand experience with the horrors of Youtube, I'm going with that as the worst.

The escapist has the absolute best forums I've ever used.
True, it's pretty much the only forum I've ever used, but the fact that I still love it after a year speaks volumes for the site.

I think 4chan would be the evident "worst" forum for many of the members on this site.

The best would PyroUniverse.

The worst is New Grounds BBS. Jesus fuck, people there are stupid.

I would consider the Escapist mediocre.

Any forum some retard shows up and says

Wow hate to be that guy...
search bar.

Is a bad forum, since "that guy" has to act like a retard and stunt topics from being discussed, like the moron who goes to help forums and just repeats Windows sucks buy a mac.

This,

I wonder how many times are you going to be quoted during this threads lifespan?
Prepare to be quoted a lot.
As much as I love browsing 4chan, and in particular the thread that shall not be named, some of it is worthy of a punch in the face to whoever is in charge of the moderation (if any)

I've met the most awesome people through the Left4Dead411 forums, even to the point where I've come to adopt one of the younger posters. But I'd have to say the Escapist forums are the most sophisticated/mature. The worst is a tie between the Official Steam Forums/4Chan/The Youtube Comment section.

This forum is the best because i pratically live on this forum even if i am just lurking and there is unskippable. The escapist is just sophisticated and funny
Worst forum is "the student room", its full of egotistical students who would cry if they got 99% on a single assignment and have ego's the size of Russia.

YouTube is worse than 4chan in that 4chan is that way by design, whereas YouTube is simply without much censorship.

As for the best...well, the only one I'm really on much is the GameFAQs Martial Arts board, and that's more of an exercise science discussion board at this point. This is by far my favorite to read on a larger scale, though (I don't post a whole lot, but w/e).

Best: Not The Escapist (just to spite you all!) I'm going to say some of the individual game boards on Gamefaqs are probably my favorite. Like the Gotcha Force board (which is now basically dead.)

Worst: YouTube. No question. It's completely unmoderated and full of the absolute thickest people on the planet. Not to mention YouTube itself sucks, with it's totally selective policy enforcement regarding copyright law.

My favorite forum is actually the Revolver magazine forum. There're only about a dozen of us who post on there very regularly, and there are almost never stupid repeat threads. I like the Escapist because there's a lot of traffic, which can mean a bunch of interesting things going on, but more often than not it boils down to Halo, Twilight, Atheism vs. Christian, and Valve wanking. The worst forum ever is Youtube and the mentally incapable trolls who post there.

I've found the worst forums are Gamestop, Bungie, and Rooster Teeth, they mostly consist of egotistical circle jerkings and self wank parties where they shit upon the newer members.

The best are escapist, Kingdom of Loathings, and Toy Soldiers United.

Although to be fair every forum I've seen has some sort of 'elite hierarchy' just most people don't bring it up.

Can't say i know what the best is, but the worst is indeed You Tube. I feel dumber just having read some of the comments.

Quoted 10,000 times for truth!

OP: Gamespot and Gamefaqs are pretty bad too.

'HALO 3 RULES FAGS'
HALO 3. RULER OF THE FAGS.

Sorry, just saying, that's how I read it.

I only post on The Escapist and gametrailers. So I'd have to say that The Escapist is the best and gametrailers the worst.
I like halo and I still agree with you.
OT: I also agree 4chan is the worst with youtube in a close second and the escapist is the best by far.

Sffworld.com; best for me, everyone is very smart, frequently replies will come in at about a page in length; they actually think and have a reason for posting instead of trying to raise post count.

Escapist; middle ground, some nice people, some entertainment, but for the most part quite shallow and repetitive content.

4Chan; not the worst because some of it is genuinely funny.

Youtube; the worst, because the comments almost never have any merit or even bearing on the video.

All the rest fit somewhere in between.
