Crazient/Oddest/Worst Userbase on a Forum?

[staika]

I'm surprised that no one said the Bioware forums yet, that place is just the creepiest place you could ever go to. Almost everyone there is a massive douchebag and will complain about every little thing and some of the stuff they talk about is just plain sick. Seriously a lot of people there are obsessed with tali to the point they made a thread about her sweat!

Spoiler: Don't believe me? heres proof!

Edit: Heres the link [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/weekend-web/bioware-social-forums.php] to a site that shows more of the conversation if you really want to know >.>

There was this forum I used to use, its shut down now, mostly cause about 90% of the members were like a handful of people annd all the accounts they could be bothered to set up, so it ended up with like a thousand active accounts but with maybe 100 actual people on it
Maybe not bad, but when most of the forum is basically a guy talking to himself with all his other accounts, then it becomes kinda stupid...

Also they tended to be rapid if u pointed this out and the "groups" then tended to stalk u, main reason i left :S

 

[DigitalSushi]

It'd be nice if you didn't fling shit at other communities, that's just basically setting each group up to invade each other or just generally be unpleasant.

 

[DannyJBeckett]

Although it's not strictly speaking a forum, I'm going to have to throw YouTube's hat into this ring. I can never scroll through the first 10 comments without seeing it descend into some kind of flame-war, or bizarrely visceral insults, or general 'yo momma' style offence.

 

[ExileNZ]

FATAL.
Just FATAL.
Or should that be F.A.T.A.L (kinda like S.T.A.L.K.E.R except without any redeeming features whatsoever).

The community (if it can even be called that) is full of douchebags. The game itself is shit. The writer/creator is not only a rabid misogynist but also clearly batshit insane.

As RPGnet puts it : It is even worse than the hype makes it out to be, which in itself it rather amazing.

I'm not even going to link it. Google it if you dare.

It's like if /b and goatse made an RPG.

(also, my apologies to humanity as a whole for even referencing this in a public place - some of you will never, ever be the same for it and I'm sorry)

 

[Nulmas]

I can resume my opinion to a single person.

Some of years ago, there was a forum for a portuguese gaming magazine that has gone out of print.

The community was pretty good, but there was a single guy that kept showing up every once in a with a secondary account called 'virus' just to troll. That guy is probably the most annoying person I've interacted with on the web.

We all knew who he was so, eventually, we started treating the guy like he was the village idiot. It didn't make him stop but it made him a lot more tolerable.

 

[Imre Csete]

Oh boy, BioWare Social Network.

The amount of people interested in potential slashfic material rather than game aspects are disturbing beyond belief.

 

[JoJo]

This one, I've never encountered a larger group of insecure, whiny people who take games far too seriously.
But then, I don't go to many other forums so maybe the whole internet is like this.

Uh, if you don't like this community then why on Earth are you still here?

OT: Probably Conservapedia, just because they're biased to the extreme (calling liberals and atheists idiots, intolerant etc) and willingly publish falsehoods on their site to support their political positions. I have nothing against reasonable conservatives, some of my best friends are, but not ones who feel the need to insult people with different beliefs.

 

[SammiYin]

Meh, it's not the whole community, just a large proportion.
And I love being devil's advocate.

 

[Rawne1980]

Bioware forums are bizarre.
Youtube ...... I have no comments. I've never seen such a collection of stupid in one place before.

I can't say IGN after the giggle I had there once. PS3 debate going on and I lobbed in that PC's were better .... the rage was hilarious.

And any gaming forum that has threads about my little pony. I get that people like it, one of my daughters loves it. However. Not everyone does, those of us that don't like it don't want to hear about it and what the fuck is an "everypony". Seriously, I get that you love the show and thats great but stop forcing it on the rest of us or i'll start forcing my love of Fraggle Rock on you.

 

[iamjonah]

Honestly, if you want to see the worst in people, go to any vaguely political news forum. Left vs right "debates" devolve almost immediately.

 

[AMMO Kid]

4chan. Need I say more?????

 

[Sir Shockwave]

ANY Command & Conquer related forum. People ***** about any slight change to the games, no matter how minor or major, and still, after nearly EIGHT years, STILL cry about "birng back Westwood!" despite the fact all the Westwood guys have moved on from both Petroglyph and Westwood and onto other projects (examples: Dustin Bowder is/was the project lead on Starcraft II, while Adam Isgreen is doing...something last time I looked). Since this one is pretty much fandom wide I can't chalk it down to just one community - it's like a Viral version of the same kind of babyish Neckbeard winging and complaining No Mutants Allowed is famous for.

 

[lacktheknack]

Hooooooo boy. Has anyone seen the Bay12 Games forum?

The one that sticks out in my mind is the "What's the worst thing you've ever done in Dwarf Fortress?" thread.

It got deleted because someone won.

<spoiler=Spoilered due to SQUICK>They modded genitals into the game to rape children.

 

[mcpop9]

I'm a furry and i have to say, half of the fandom is completely crazy, trying to convert people and shove their pride down others throats. Why can't they be like the rest of us and just be cool with it?

so half of the furries on any forums.

 

[JoJo]

The Escapist forums. Filled with ignorant users who think they're intellectuals, lots of annoying nihilist kids and an atmosphere of "No Fun Allowed". Also overly-strict mods who, in all likeliness, will suspend me just for making this post.

Really? If you dislike this community so much, then why are you still here?

I admit there are a few too many nihilist kids but if you think "No Fun Allowed" then you evidently haven't been on the right threads.

 

[genericusername64]

Wow, this thread is like target practice for moderators, and I guess it would be the tgwtg forum community

You mean like this?


On failbook.com the comments people leave are just trolling rubbish from the very first post. I occasionally forget and go to the comments if I don't understand a joke, but am invariably met with a barrage of utter crap, not even funny, just crap.

 

[Jailbird408]

I wish I was the Only Sane Man in Youtube, but I think its stupidity is rubbing off on me.
...
Oh, sorry, do I have to say something else?

That is why I usually never read the comments on Youtube, so many people insulting one another, over the slightest transgression.

Um... I actually got into a fight like that once. His name was RaVexSLB or something like that, he argued with me because I was a "comment whore" and his spelling and grammar was ATROCIOUS. He even managed to screw up a genuinely good comeback by misspelling it ("...your name shouldnt be jailbird it should be jailbat"), and when I likened it to hitting the ball out of court in tennis he called me a fag. Oh dear. I guess I'm as much to blame as he is for aggravating him. Then again, I'm getting passing grades in English.

Masochistic tendencies? Banning fetish? Or just bitter about something?

OT: Youtube is where any slight probability of civil discussion burns a hellish death. It is the cesspool of the internet.
