How many people are here from /v/?

high post ammount sets tone for whole thread (example if some one has 10000 posts their opinion is the threads opinion).

I'll agree, there's some truth to this.

I often feel that people here with massive post counts get more attention and get quoted a lot, while people with smaller post counts (like myself) often get skipped over and ignored.

Back in 2009 I worked with Furburt and we tested that to where we made a thread where I posted a copy pasted opinion, It was first, then Furburt posted the same opinion, nearly word for word. He was quoted more than twenty times, not once for me.

Occasionally lurk there. Though I do love 4chan's views of the Escapist....spot on there are.

What are their opinions of this place, if you don't mind sharing?

Liberal majority, high post ammount sets tone for whole thread (example if some one has 10000 posts their opinion is the threads opinion). Progressive to a fault. Edgy, that sort of thing.

I'm a religious conservative nut with >20,000 posts.

Now what?

You've broke the rules............

My thoughts on /v/ and 4chan in general


I don't go there but I do love me some 4chan thread highlights in the form of screen shots. I did browse an archived /vg/ thread sometime ago because I wanted more in depth info about a game and it was actually pretty good discussion/circle jerk when all the posters liked the thing they were talking about

One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the transparency of the average 4chan user. Its both hilarious and depressing the way some people can see through and summarize an entire online community in less than a sentence. I do find it funny how people paint the escapist as stuck up just because most here people appreciate amount of moderation. Its nice when I can go through a thread and browse a bunch of different opinions and comments without name calling and people quoting huge walls of text just to say "^this". If I wanted a more "free" forum, I would just go to 4chan (though I do wish people here would stop being 2edgy4me)

Third...ed? After some googling I did manage to find the site, though I was expecting something more. I've never felt so out of the loop than when I first clicked on this thread. I had no idea what you people were talking about.

I'm getting old and out of touch.

To anyone else having trouble, here's an article about 4chan in general [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/4chan] and one about /v/ [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/v] courtesy of know your meme.

I much rather vg to be honest as v is far too negative for me and I get enough of that here. Also I doubt The Escapist and 4chan have massive crossover of active user base given that every site seems to hate every other site while the site they are on is the best thing since sliced fucking bread.

More than you'd think, the internet is full of this type of "hate", posting about how much they hate the community of another website, all the while they have an account there, and a post count in the 3 digit range at least.

If nothing else, anonymity tends to turn people into massive hypocrites who will condemn something in one second, and then gleefully partake in that very same thing the next second.

For me, this is only one of a few sites, I regularly visit. Apart from the escapist, I've also been on or am on the forums or comments of: Kotaku, Destructoid, 4chan, SomethingAwful, Spacebattles, Stardestroyer.net, and rpg.net. I've also lurked on many more.

I suppose you're right I should have probably stated there isn't much a cross of people who identify openly as some one who frequents both not that there would be any reason to normally.

What's /v/?

Seconded, could somebody explain what we're talking about here? And yes I tried Googling it to no avail.

It's 4chan's video game board. It's content is rather self explanatory.

I've only visited /v/ once or twice, but I didn't care much for it.
I visit /tg/ about every day now, but I rarely post. I don't play 40k or DnD; I just participate in the fun threads.

Oh, and just to add icing to the cake, I was given a low-content warning for asking my question.

Seriously, mods?

I don't go to /v/ for much the same reason that many people have already posted, aka the whole
>you opinion a shit
>u mad bro
>/v/ doesn't actually like videogames
stuff. Funnily enough, I love /a/, and they act much the same way about anime. I guess the difference is that for all its inherent faults, /a/'s "self-moderated board culture" (as silly as that sounds) generally keeps most of the sperglords somewhat in line, even if it gets seriously elitist at times.

I also go to /tg/, but that's mainly for quest threads and reminiscing about when I played 40k
